Ski Picts

Here they are! The ski pictures! Hope you enjoy.

Those lights up there is where we were going.

The Gondola

Moving a bit too fast and this picture got blurry. sorry

They just got fresh snow!!

City of Vancouver

Could've used flash here

I went all the way to the top up there! :O

I had a lot more fun this time than last time. I know in the video I was going so slow, but it WAS my first run of the day, and I had a lot more speed going down the hills later. I also said I had never wiped-out before, well yesterday I took 5 or 6 BIG wipe-outs. I mean could've really hurt myself, especially if I was older like 40 or 50. It was like so awesome huh? when you don't get seriously hurt, wipe-outs are like so fun! Once I had to climb like 15 yards up a hill to get my one ski! Once I landed on my back so hard knocked the wind out of me!

Doing lots of jumps too. Really lots of fun. Totally getting into all the blue hills and leaving the greens behind, but no blacks. Not best when ur new to skiing. Might try snowboarding next year, not sure though.

I probably could've gotten more pictures, but I WAS busy skiing you know. I think the ones of Vancouver are so kewl. If you were in the right place and the weather was clear, you could see all the way to Vancouver Island! It was nice when we got there, then fog settled in a while later, then it was a bit off and on and really nice at the end.

Can't wait till next week now! Gonna try the peak hill again, which is pretty steep and has a lot of bumps. Not like mogul bumps, but really hilly and bumpy. Totally glad we got to do it this year.

Cy'all later!!

Joe

sorry :(

Hey guys. I know I promised you all skiing pictures today, but just after I took a few pictures at the bottom of the mtn. the camera stopped working. It was one dead battery, cause after I got home I switched batteries and the camera worked fine. Go figure. I will get pictures next time though, in two weeks.


Anyway this week was definitely better as I had a little more practice and experience. I had a few wipe outs, but only because I was trying some (You might call it fancy) other stuff like going fast and stopping like instantly and spraying snow everywhere and doing some jumps *they were so awesome!!!! there was this one it's like a freestyle area that is a small jump and I got like so much air on that and then once I gave it my all the landed a little awkward and then tried to turn and stop and fell but on the bigger hills I went on there were some sweet little jumps to the side that totally gave you air and speed. Really had fun* and then yeah also with the fast stopping my skis stopped but my body was still moving so I did a little fall but was perfectly fine. But that is how I fell (You getting bored of all my random rabbling on and on about the feelings I have in my head about skiing?) No you like it right? I just had a wicked great time today and can't wait till next time. I can really feel it tonight in my legs and back. So I am getting to bed here soon (long school day tomorrow and everything) so Cy'all later sometime. Don't forget you should see a video of me unboxing my new IPod Touch Thurs. Fri. as I am picking it up on Thurs.


Bye!

Skiing

Hey all. Just got back from skiing! It was my first time, but I had a great time! We are going again next week and then again 2 other times in Feb. It is a deal we got with our homeschool group.

Oh and btw the hills we have here are like way better than over there in Ontario (Renae) because we are actually in the mtns. Grouse mtn. I'll take my camera next week and prove it to you. such huge hills you can't see the bottom. Double black diamond. (I don't go on that) but really great skiing.



I am picking up my ipod Jan. 27th so I will post a video of the un boxing like that night, so keep watching

Cy'all later!

Nothingness update

We just got a bit more snow!

Not too much but enough to make the roads icy. Just got back from Church and there was a truck that slid into a stop sign nearby. I'll try to be taking more pictures soon, but hard to find something to shoot sometimes.


I am probably going to be getting a 4G ipod touch soon, once I save up a bit more money. I am thinking on doing a video of the unboxing cause it seems everyone is doing them.


Going now for lunch. Stew!! Yum. BTW we had tacos last night and I had 3, all fully stuffed.

Have a good Sunday!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a little while, been really busy, the Christmas holidays and all. We are having some people from the church over today for a New Year's Brunch. Some are here right now. Lots of food and fellowship. We had a New Year's Eve fellowship at the Church last night, and had lots of fun playing games and eating and there was a little service afterwards.

Any way time to get serious.

So who stayed up  last night late? I was like so tired but everyone wanted to stay awake in the living room until the clock struck 12 but then I went to bed and fell asleep pretty well, but I'd love to stay up if I was with friends. But with just my brother and he doesn't want to talk you can't really do anything. Anyway.

We are going skiing this year! We get a deal with the homeschool group. It is 4 days, 2 tuesdays in jan and 2 in feb. There is an hour and a half lesson and then you can ski as much as you want for the rest of the day! even night skiing!!!!!! So fun. The price pays for the ski rental, lift pass, helmet rental, anything you need. So looking forward to it never gone skiing b4.

Another think I have to look forward to is my b-day in Feb! (Yes I know there are people that always tease me about leap-year, and some of you are born a few days b4 me, but I can still have my excitment) gonna be 15! wOOT!

Yeah so......Probably should go soon to visit with the company. All talking in te living room right now. Andd I;m here in the kitchen typing away on the computer making this post.


Anyway hope you all have a good day today..



God Bless

Random Christmas Post

So I'm lying here on the couch in the living room sick and tired while everyone else is watching "Lady and the Tramp II" (I watched it earlier) and so I thought I'd just do a little Christmas Post (I will be posting picts from Christmas Day). So just a little "How ya doin'!" to everyone, and a Merry Christmas! It's only 3 days away you know. Our tree is always so jam packed with gifts. The other day I was playing some Christmas songs on the saxophone. My cheeks got so tired till I just couldn't play anymore. I love Christmas music. *Wonders if he should put some on but decides it will just annoy everyone else* Anywhooo.......

Christmas play went pretty well on Sunday. Messed the beginning a little bit, but people said they really enjoyed it. There were like over like 20 visitors, and I think like 3 people got saved that night. I met a new friend as well, who was born like 6 days before I was. Its funny how...like...you meet someone new and are all shy and everything and then once one says "hi" the conversation just flies from there. They are actually looking for a good church, so maybe they will visit our church again.

Still not really any snow around here. We got a bit like Friday/Saturday I think but it is all gone now. It would be nice to have at least a little bit of snow for Christmas.

I'm probably gonna take a little rest now. Not much new in my life right now. Boring huh? .......jk..........


Cy'all later.

Teen Christmas Party

So yesterday we had that  party at our youth Pastors house. We had a wonderful time, with good food and lots of fun. Their kids kids were so hyper, but they had a very good time!
