Hitting the East China Hill

    

       Me and Meilee carving it up at East China! 

 These pictures are from our WHOLE winter of snowboarding so far. We have learned a lot from practicing our snowboarding skills at East China.  This winter has been fun with the snowboards, I have learned how to have more control on the board. Meilee is starting to learn to trust herself and her board on the jumps(speaking of Meilee, make sure to check out her blog for recent updates!). Don't forget to give our dad some credit! I think the pictures came out great.

      I can't wait to do more boarding in 2014, WINTER! Hopefully there will be an annual family ski\snowboarding trip before 2014's year ends!!! Now we (me, dad, and Meilee) are training for MTN biking season!!! Yay!?!?

Your zany MTN biking\snowboarding girl,

Cooking: Me and my Mom

      Together, me and my mom made a dinner on Thursday. We made spaghetti, with spaghetti squash! We made homemade meatballs and sauce. Fresh parsley and cilantro were used, and we cooked the spaghetti squash. The outcome was healthily delicious! It tasted better than regular spaghetti, it was delicious! The day after we made some ginger root tea from real ginger root. We added orange for flavor and instead of honey, we used agave nectar(healthy tastes better than you think!) It turns out that we got only a tiny bit of flavor. The orange stood out though, it tasted very soothing. Next time we are going to chop up the ginger into tiny pieces so it soaks in.

A Winter Walk

      To kick off a Tuesday morning, mom decided to take a nice walk. We got dressed and headed out the door. We went downtown and climbed on the mountain-like hills and slid down the mini-hills. It was a blast. Mom took pics on my iPad and probably video taped a bit. We found a perfect hill, nice and large, it must've had 5 or 6 slide like parts to it I slid down every single one.

      On the way home, we went to The Sweet Tooth, our local sweet shop(We were allowed to bring money this time). I bought a Heath bar, candy buttons, and a thick stick of bubblegum. Meilee bought herself a treat too, she got a brownie pop(yum!). This was a fun walk. I really enjoyed this walk, it will always be treasured in my memories. : ]

Tune in for more of my little adventures that make large memories!!!

Fitness Tests

     Fitness testing is coming up soon in gym for the new marking period! For the first test, we are doing push-ups. Yikes! I may be able to bike up to 50miles, but I just, I can't bring my body to do 3 push-ups! Man, I really stink(like REALLY bad) at push-ups. My ankles are always sagging at the third push-up.So my dad decided(cuz he needs it too)that we would do planks(a set of workouts).  

      Yep. Twice a week. Because we are having mid-winter break (Friday through Tuesday) and gym is only on Mondays, I have a while to "train up". So Fitness Tests, here I come!

: ) Wish Me Luck : )
