I don't know about you, but i love Ninjas! I am going to tell you a story of how it all started..
Last summer, my friend Kelsey practically lived at my house we were so close. We would do everything together!
My house lives on a hill and the backyard is at a total slant. There is a fence cutting off the ancore long back yard that is so steep it is almost vertical. Another thing about my backyard is that it is covered with trees, bugs, and plants. There is only one opening to go to the back yard.
Kelsey and I decided to go into my backyard to explore. We walked up and down the hill with great difficultly but we still had a good time. As we were walking up the hill, Kelsey saw something in the corner of her eye. "Look its a rope!" I quickly turned my head. There was a rope tied to the top of the fence. She started walking up the steep hill towards it. Kelsey grabbed a hold of it and started climbing up the hill and quicklly hopped the fence. I was amazed how well and fast she did it! I yelled, "Kelsey you are a ******* NINJA!" She started laughing and soon I joined in. "Go Ninja! Go Ninja! Go!" she chanted. I followed her and repeated her same movements but without as much perfection. We walked into the house chanting it together and thats where it all began.
Kelsey and I decided that day that we wanted to continue being ninjas. She had once showed me this Mcdonalds' Rap on Youtube and we both had it memorized. Why not make up a ninja dance to that? We started that day making up a routine while changing some of the words in the rap to improve it and make it more ninja style. By the end of that day when we had it perfected and memorized, my sister 15 year old sister Christen got home from work. We exitedly showed her our routine. She looked at us and said, "You guys are losers." We all laughed together. Kelsey and I both knew she was just jealous of our ninja moves! :)

Emma!
The cell phone rang repeatedly as I ran to answer. I heard a familiar and unique laugh on the other end. It was the unmistakable Emma! She started her story. Was she or was she not coming over this weekend to stay at my house while her dad was in Connecticut? I ran up the stairs to find one of my parents. “Of course she can!” my father said in his deep and creepy voice. I raced back down the stairs to my phone trying not to stumble over my larger then normal feet. I responded to her questions and she gave me another series of her laugh with delight. Emma would be staying at my house all weekend!
I got yet another call on my phone telling me to come outside. I ran out on the wet sidewalk in my bare feet to greet her. A large grin lay in front of me belonging to Mr. Perkins who was helping Emma get her baggage. Our eyes met and she gave me one of what she calls her, “God given talents.” She scrunched up her face in such a way no one can describe or repeat (trust me I have tried)! I giggle and give her a hug. While our parents are talking, Emma runs to greet my sister and gives her the same face expression she gave me. I showed her my room and how it has changed since she was here last. We both jumped on my brand new queen size bed. We looked at each other and knew that this weekend was going to be a never ending disaster of fun!
We both turned on our Nintendo DS and started a game against each other. This is where things started to get intense... We stared screaming at each other and laughing so hard that we couldn’t breathe. In the game, whoever got ten stars first would win, or if you lost all five lives the other person would automatically win. There were things to prevent you from winning so easily of course. You could steal stars from the other person with fireballs or if you died you would lose a star. This game is seriously addicting and I think it could easily lead to a fight. For example, Emma got so pissed that I was winning her so much, she screamed at me from the other room and said, “This is enough!” (I edited what she said and made it more appropriate) She ran into my room screaming at me, jumped on my bed, and tackled me! It was mega funny and terrifying all at the same time!

Hawaii
In fourth grade, I went to Hawaii on a vacation and if I remember correctly it was around spring break and we went for two weeks.
On the plane ride there, I remember eating really, really good ginger ale and lasagna. I was surprised how good airplane food was to me. I couldn't get enought of it! The plane we were on was really nice and I loved looking out the window and watching the ocean.
We went to Kauai on this trip and it was amazingly beautiful there. We stayed at a little hotel right near the beach so we could go anytime we wanted to. We went to a luau one night and I dont think I will ever forget it. There was all kinds of dancing on stage and beautiful music. They were cooking a very large hog that smelt so amazing I can still remember it as I think about it now. There were stands set up everywhere selling all kinds of goods and suvioners. My sister got a wooden coconut bra and and a grass skirt and I got a ukulele that was hand made with a coconut and a wooden handle. It also had thick plastic strings. It was totally out of tune but I loved it. We also got these hand made bracelets that was a plastic string that had all these wooden sphere beads on them that had painted flowers on them. This one lady gave my sister and I both a free bracelet. I was really disapointed because I brought it to school one day and I lost it at recess! :(
After we got all our goods at the stands the dinner was ready. The roasted pork that we ate was amazingly tender and delicious and tasted even better than it smelled.
One time, we went on a public boat ride where they would serve you dinner and take you to go snorkeling. They took us to a beautiful place near an island. I remeber on the way, we rode around this one island and the mountain side had all these wild goats. Anyway, we reached the spot and went snorkeling around and had a blast looking at all the beautiful and breathtaking variety of fish. My sister and I saw a puffer fish and she blew up her cheeks at it and it blew up too. I remember that I couldn't stop laughing and I had a blast.
Our trip to Hawaii was great and I want to go again someday! I cant wait until that day comes!

I'm Jealous of My Sister!
Well I hade a fabulous break! I spent time with my best friend Mindy and I absolutley love her. She is so much fun!
Anyways, back to the topic. I am really jealous of my sister and how much fun activities she gets to do. She is on the cheer competition team that is in Bountiful called Cheerz. She is a level four and is quite amazing. I am proud of her and all her talent, but Cheerz costs 1000s and 1000s of dollars! When school got out for Christmas Break, Christen got to go to Las Vegas with her cheer team! The did all these competitions and had a blast. She also had extra money and while I spent my money on a $25 dollar Christmas Present for her from here she spent her extra money on an adorable sweater from Las Vegas! I had to stay in boring old Utah!
She is a Sophmore and is in a Debate class. As I am typing she is on another trip in CALIFORNIA with her debate team. She might even get to visit my Stepbrother, neice, and nephew that we haven't seen for two or three years. I am dying to see them again! I wish I could be there! Her team also gets to go to Disneyland!! I absolutley love roller coasters more than anything in the world! Here I am in UTAH, the dull state as I like to call it, where nothing what-so-ever happens! This trip cost 500 big bucks!
I know that I probably sound like a winey brat, but i havent been out of this state since the begging of the summer when we went to Colarado! My sister always says that our parents always side with me, treat me like an angel, and spoil me! Who is going to agree with that now?!?
