well for those of you who actually read my posts I have decided to try out for the freshman basketball team try-outs are comin up in the next few weeks. I hope i make the team. I don't think our team will be all that great but I could use the training that comes with playing on an actual team. Other than that life is pretty much the same but if anything else happens i'll let you know

Hey Ya'll,
Well starting at last friday the school day was good. In P.E. we played basketball and I was the only white kid playing and I guess the didn't see me as much of a threat. I played great defense i got like 30 rebounds and i packed a few kids. At the end of class my coach told me I should try out for the team but I'm trying to decide on playing for school or playing in another league with a lot of friends from church. We had planned on goin to Louisianna that night but we had to do a lot of things that took too long and decided insted of driving all night we would leave at three in the morning. We drove in our freinds 15 seater van with only 9 of the seats in and a t.v. and xbox so the drive there was awesome. We got there around 10 and started clearing fallen trees and branches from peoples yards. after an hour or two we went to subway for lunc. Then we went to another house with a gross smelly mud front yard and cleared debris from there. My friends caught a crab which we wanted to catch as many animals as we could. then we went to the local church building set up camp,took showers,then went to dinner. Dinner was good and the resteraunt had metal mugs which was cool. the next day we got up at like 8 and everyone was already up but us. We got our assignment and headed out. We went over one of those bridges that go up for boats right as a big barge was about to go through we got out to check it out that was pretty cool. When we were driving there we were driving along a big creek and on the banks there were alligators everywhere which was pretty cool and we wanted to catch one. When we got there we noticed there were lizards everywhere. They were called green anoles and could change color they were really cool. We caught a lot of them. then we trimmed a huge dead tree and carried all the branches to the street. When we finished there we went down the road to another house and did a little clean up there. We went back to camp and packed up everything. WE went to breakfast/lunch at Ihop it was really good.Then we started the 6 hour drive back. We watched Napolean Dynamite and played one of our old football games the whole way back it was fun. we got back at around 8 and went to sleep. Today school was good to and in P.E. (which is my favorite class) we played football and I was one of the better kids out there.And at the end of class my other coach told me I should try out for the football team but I dont know about that either. So alot has happened in the past few days and I've enjoyed all of it.Thats about all.

Sup Ya'll,
It's going pretty friggin awesome here in Tennessee. Last weekend we had a youth activity like a dance but instead we did a sports night. At the place we had it there is a skate park and me and one of my friends went like five hours early to skate. I hadn't skated in a long time but i learned everything I knew and more. I didn't skate board but did whats technically called aggressive skating,It's pretty much in-line skates with spaces to grind rails and stuff. The actual activity was also awesome even though i was kinda exhausted from five hours of skating. We all signed in and we got different teams.( I was on the black team) Our country was called "The Winners". We won three out of five events. The events were just wierd things like a relay with a swimming noodle in between our legs. Thier was tug of war but we lost kinda miserably in that. after the team events we did sports. Me and zac played soccer and at the end I played a little football. A tmutual last night i finished the final requiremenst for my deacon duty to god. This weekend Zac, my Dad, And I are going down to Louisanna for hurricane relief. I am looking forward to that. I'm doing good in school and better in geography. I've been pretty busy here in the volunteer state. But I'm already tired of school and looking forward to this summer when we will be coming to C.A. I know that will be a good time like always. I'm thinking about trying out for the school basketball team but if my friend can play a age group up in the church league we played in earlier in the year I might just play there. We can play with zac and other kids forom our church and hopefully win more games.

2008-09-11T12:33:00.000-07:00

hey people,

Life is goin pretty good here in the SOUTH. Our ward is going to help with hurricane relief, but i'm not old enough to go but I've heard that I'll be able to go it should be a good experience. School is going ok I mean ok by how good can school be. I've made a few friends but I dont know if 2 counts as a few. Most of my classes are easy but I'm having trouble with geography because we have to illustrate and color every left page in our notebook and thats a lot of left pages! I'm not to good at illustrating geography not... I mean I like drawing but drwing clouds and the water cycle and stuff isn't all that interesting.In gym.. I mean lifetime wellness... we are doing weight lifting which I like doing. Math is easy and i like math. English is boring we take like a week to do an assignment that i finish in like a day because everyone else talks when thier supposed to be working but i dont have anyone to talk to so I get my work done a lot faster. Spanish is coming really easy but we do really easy assignments that take like five minutes in a class that is like an hour and a half long. I started looking back at how close I am to getting my Deacon duty to god and I opnly need like three requirements. Seminary is good but it's really early. I've missed a few days because of sleep. Me and zac have been practicing dunking on our basketball goal and we can dunk with like little soccer balls but not full size basketballs yet. Sorry i havent written lately I'll try to keep writing more often but thats all for now.

2008-08-19T15:49:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, its goin good here in Tennessee school has started which is a bummer but...we have to go. I don't know ANYONE in any of my classes. most of my classes are ok but i mean their classes how good can they be!?!? Spanish though is especially boring WE DO NOTHING she plans like a five minute assignment for the longest class of the day its like an hour and sumthin minutes long!!!! Me and zac have lunch together which is kool ... i guess. For those of you it may interest we have found a lds myspace for teens its called yomyow its kool but has an awkward name me and zac have one theirs only like 80 something people who have one though =/. so if you want to you could make one their pretty cool they let us lds teens get away from outside 'forces' . well thats about all for now.

2008-08-03T16:45:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone one thing I left out in my last post is I got a new snake it is a ball python they are usually like 80 bucks but they were on sale for like 30 so i got one. this is our last week of summer vacation which isn't very cool. ZAc my dad and I went to see Batman on friday and it was an awesome movie the guy who plays the Joker did a really awesome job. Church is going good its fun. I'm getting a new bed QUEEN SIZED!!!!!! Way better than my other bed in which my feet hang over the edge

2008-07-21T10:04:00.000-07:00

Well ya i guess i have an embarassing photo of me on superman but its ok. Six flags was fun. We had youth conference the other week it was a good spiritual experience. I went to my first dance and turns out I was right I cant dance. On the fast and testimony meeting I actually got up but mostly cause i was sitting on one of the side rows and everyone in my row stood up and bore thier testimonies at the same time... So i got up and i guess I've been giving plenty of talks. Yesterday in church i had to give a five minute talk on procrastination which i had prepared the day before... But like i said five minutes but i went a little over and spoke for about 15 so maybe need to work a little bit. But the summer is comin to an end and all in all it was very good. Except no one came to visit but i guess thats ok.

2008-07-01T11:03:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone umm I really didnt mean to start anything with my last post but looks like I did. Well we had scout camp last week which was like 10 times better than last year me and my friend caught a pretty good sized king snake we were going to bring it home but it got out. We got in trouble by our leaders for fireworks and cant bring those next year but it is kinda close to fourth of July so we were just being patriotic but that excuse didn't quite work. I got all my merit badges done so i got Golf, life saving, and woodcarving. Zac almost beat up our woodcarving instructor but i had to save him he was kind of a dork. the camp director told all of us to sleep in only a t-shirt and no underwear which was pretty weird but then she said "Cause thats how she sleeps" that was very gross seeing how she was like 80 years old and our leader sitting next to her started laughing and then all of us started laughing it was a little too much information?!?!!? I got to go on a thing called "the blob" its like a big inflatable pillow that someone sits on the end of it out on a lake then someone else jumps from like 30 feet and bounces them off the end it was pretty awesome. Friday was our free day so me Zac my friend that caught the snake with me and my dad went golfing. We did 9-holes and realized we aren't very good my dad shot a 53 me and my friend got 67's and Zac got a 72. So I need a little practice. Last night we went and saw "Get Smart " with our Sunday school teacher this movie was hilarious. I would go see it again if i had the chance. Well thats basically all that happened so far if anything else exciting happens I'll make sure to write about it.

2008-05-29T12:57:00.000-07:00

Summer has started and i have to read three books for high school which may prove challenging. At mutual last night we played "Messy Kickball" the bases were baby pools filled with random items.First base was filled with shaving cream, Second was filled with spagetti noodles, And Third was basically throw-up it had things like syrup,chili,relish,ketchup,mustard,chef boyardee, yams,and others that I've tried hard to forget. It was pretty gross but almost kinda fun. We had two friends over to play video games yesterday and we had a water balloon fight. I got sunburn that occasionally itches like CRAZY it woke me up at 1;30 yesterday and kept me up for like three hours which was miserable. I show my support to coopers blog only cause i don't want to get involved and I think that Garrett and Porter need to re-think their EGO...!!!!!

I'm Tyler and I approve this message.

2008-04-26T11:37:00.000-07:00

This week was long and boring. On Wednesday we were going on a ten mile bike ride I didn't make it to far when my wheel caught the gravel hill on the side of the road and I flipped over my handle bars. I can finally touch rim on a basketball goal which is cool.I miss playing basketball on my team even though we sucked. I turned fourteen which starts a lot of new things for me becoming a teacher, stake dances,and lots of responsibility. eighth grade graduation is coming up in about two weeks and I will finally be done with my old smelly middle school. Life is going o.k. here just the plain old stuff hope you guys are having fun in other states.

~Tyler~

2008-04-13T17:38:00.000-07:00

Well, it has been a long time since I last wrote, but a lot has happened. This week we take the state wide tests which is bad but I think I'm ready. We got super smash bros. brawl it's cool , and I am looking forward to play anyone of you guys that want to play so go to tanners house and play us. Memphis tigers beat Ucla But blew the championship game but thats O.K. I turn 14 next Monday Which is cool we have been golfing a little lately we went over spring break and the driving range last week it is fun and better than sitting around like usual.

2008-02-23T15:45:00.000-08:00

Today was kinda crazy we had a basketball game for our church team at 7:00 am then after that a ward with some of our old friends didn't have enough people so we played that game too. We went home I took a shower then went to Kamrie's violin recital which is on my moms blog if you wanna check it out. Then we went straight from there to my other basketball game. We got there and lost we played a good game. Then we went to lunch with one of my friends from church. Then we went to a sports store and looked around. Everyone is crazy about the huge game tonight with the number 2 ranking college team Tennessee vols against our number 1 Memphis tigers. I hope all of you guys watch it because it's going to be a great game. So three basketball games later I am writing this message very sore and tired. Oh our basketball team is 2-6

2008-01-27T15:47:00.000-08:00

Once again its been awhile since I wrote but, I started basketball at a church and we've lost 3 out of 3 games so far. We are starting for our church and our team might do better there. School is going good but its a little boring.

2007-12-28T15:59:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas everyone I haven't written in a while its been busy . For Christmas we got an xbox 360 with halo3, rock band, ultimate alliance, We got a new skate board ramp I got season I of the office. we've been playing video games all week and skating. We are have a new years party that started out being the youth in our church but now more people got invited, but it will be fun hanging out playing video games and playing basketball.I got an 101 on my math exam 96 on my social studies one, and 100 on my English one, and we haven't gotten the science one but I'm almost 100% positive I got an A so school is going pretty goo except playing all these video games on break i might forget everything

2007-12-05T15:09:00.000-08:00

the past few days have been crazy we rented guitar hero 3 its kinda getting boring playing all day and I think my hands can use a break. I made it to the spelling bee but I'm not going to do it. i have mutual tonight which should be fun. i start basketball in January I'm playing for a baptist church which is huge it is like the size of the conference center and it has 5 gymnasiums and a workout room. I've been reading the book of Mormon I'm in Mosiah. well now that I'm writing it hasn't really been that crazy it was "spirit week" at my school which I think is sort of lame but whatever. Its getting boring in Tennessee.

2007-11-12T16:35:00.001-08:00

Today was awesome, I went to my friends house from church because we didn't have school for veterans day I had just bought a new airsoft gun and wanted to use it. So when I got there he showed me all of their guns. Then we waited for another one of our friends to come. When he got there he had just gotten his gun and 10000 bullets. We went out in the woods behind their house to play we started out playing my team was attackers and they were defence, Then we switched up then we moved on to play we were in like a tree fort thing and we tried to hold them off. My teammate shot his brother in his face so he took my friends gun and started rushing us and he shot us like 50 quadrillion times and it hurt. Then we went to my Sunday school teachers house to play halo 3 we beat a level on legendary and its an awesome game.

2007-10-28T12:56:00.001-07:00

Last night we had our trunk or treat Zac went as Pickachu and I didn't dress up we got a lot of candy but mostly just spent the time hangin out with friends and running booth. Today was fast Sunday but we forgot so we're fasting next week. Next Sunday is stake conference and we don't have mutual this Wednesday but its been a pretty normal week and we have not been to busy

2007-10-20T19:47:00.000-07:00

Well not much to write about but I got to stay home yesterday and I had to babysit to day, we helped some people move today and went out to breakfast, Then we went to get a tube for my bike, So not much is going on and its pretty boring around here.

2007-10-13T18:04:00.000-07:00

This weekend we went to a merit badge college at a place called navy lake which in Tennessee almost all lakes are snake infested so no swimming although i didn't see any snakes and i wanted to catch one but oh well. I got aviation and enviromental science, aviation was one of the coolest merit badges I've ever done it was mostly writing but it was interesting. we had taco soup for dinner Friday night breakfast burritos for breakfast for Saturday morning and chili dogs for lunch. we got there set up camp cooked dinner and started a fire. then we played smear the queer and capture the flag. we went to a fireside thing and went to sleep to wake up the next morning freezing cold and wet from dew. that was my weekend so far I'll write again tomorrow

My week so far

2007-10-11T18:28:00.001-07:00

Well today was pretty normal but on Tuesday we went to the zoo and right as we were leaving the snake house a pretty good size snake starts going across the walkway and Scott runs up and grabs it ... it almost bit him so he threw it down, so then I had to catch it the right way but of course my mom wouldn't let me keep it. the next to days were just normal boring days at school. we had to right 2 boring essays in English but my writing skills are improving at a pretty good rate ,and I think that I will do fairly well on my writing assessment test at the end of the year. our scout troop is going camping this weekend at a merit badge college and there might be snakes that i can catch so I'm sort of looking forward to it.

2007-09-26T14:37:00.000-07:00

I haven't been on that much and haven't posted much. this weekend our scout troop went to a state park we left at 5 which meant i got home from I had to leave right away. when we got there it was about 10:30 and pretty dark luckily we had a lot of moonlight. It was a backpacking trip and when we got there we had to hike 3 miles to our shelter. the shelter was pretty much a cabin but the front side was made of screening. Our campsite was on a cliff overlooking the Tennessee river.The next day we hiked 6 miles up very steep hills with very heavy packs. we eventually made had lunch and went home. Sunday was a normal Sunday, and the same with Mon. and Tues. today we are having a pretty big storm which probably canceled our mutual service project for the second time in a row.Well life in Tennessee is pretty crazy.

-Tyler-

2007-09-10T15:10:00.000-07:00

Today was not the best day I almost got switched to advanced art which sounds like a good thing but art is like the worst class the only reason I'm even in art is because they don't have P.E. 5 days a week. but then when i got home my dad brought home a kingsnake, and i think ill keep it awhile i would have a picture but i don't have my camera right now.

2007-09-09T12:21:00.000-07:00

The wii is one of the greatest piece of technology out well... video game technology. We got a wii around fathers day and we play it all the time. Chad got Madden 2008 and it is awesome.Zac likes a game called bigs and its baseball,I like baseball but not one the wii. I kinda wish we had a xbox 360 though because halo 3 comes out in 17 days!! I want to play it but we don't have a 360 and we don't know anyone who does that lives around us. But the wii is really cool it is the only video games that I've seen adults enjoy. The games are really easy to explain too.It is pretty cool.

The BEST movie ever!!!

2007-09-08T20:09:00.000-07:00

Tonight I saw the Bourne Ultimatum it's one of the best movies of all time. It was full of action and suspense. I was on the edge of my seat through the entire movie. There was this lady sitting two seats away that was really annoying though she was loud and was so weird.

T.V.

2007-09-08T15:03:00.000-07:00

Well my favorite T.V. shows are lost heroes, and the office .I cant wait for the new seasons to start i want to find out if the lost people get off the island, and if peter is still alive in heroes, and office always gets me in a good mood. I spend a lot of time watching T.V.

starting eighth grade!!!

2007-09-08T12:38:00.002-07:00

Starting eighth grade has been okay ,except for English we have to write essays to 'practice' for the state writing assessment test. And I have 4 teachers but 2 of them are seventh grade teachers and i only have 2 eighth grade classes to combine with. My school is called Mt. Pisgah Middle we are the home of the eagles we apparently have one of the best basketball team in the county but that's because everyone else stinks, I don't know if I'm going to try out?
