Gimpy toe

This past Thursday was a complete flop. I was supposed to be working on level three skills at gymnastics, but unfortunately I was moving the table vault (a table vault is a piece of equipment we use) and then it ran over my toe. It is three hundred pounds of metal and steel! Now I have a black and blue toe that has cuts and ripped up skin! yuck! I have to soak it now once a day and sometimes elevate it when its really paining (which by the way is pretty much all the time!) Tylenol and Advil and I have become very close friends lol! My mother now calls me  gimpy toe.

I feel super bad for people who are suffering from non-stop pain! Trust me folks, I feel it to! Nanny Wick has been taking good care of my toe, she  prepared a pan of warm water with epson salts in it twice! What would i do without you Nanny!?  So tomorrow when I am at my gymnastics banquet, I will have a gross looking toe! Wish me luck!

Here's a shot of me at the banquet, all that soaking really helped with the pain, I had a pretty good time at the banquet.

weekend workout ideas!

If you are at home on the weekend with nothing to do well try the 2012 workout !

1:10 sit ups.

2:10 push ups.

3:try to touch your toes and hold it for a minimum of 30 seconds.

4:do jumping jacks for 1 minute.

5:jog on the spot for one minute.

after this workout you should be pretty tired.try to do this workout once weekly and you'll have big muscles in no time!!!!!!! :* :-)

Welcome 2012!

I can't believe it's a new year and that I've not posted anything new in quite awhile!  I guess with school, gymnastics and other interests it's hard to find the time to add to my blog.

We had a great Christmas, got lots of fun gifts, but my favourite was getting my own cell phone.  I love it!  They had hidden it away until everything else was opened and then I heard this ringing sound :-)  Pictured here is my sister Lyvia who got what she has wanted for a long time, an 'ipod Touch.'  It was a great surprise and a wonderful Christmas.

Then, the biggest surprise of all, was going to Disney in Florida for New Years!  Thanks to my Mom's family we were able to join them including my Grampy Clark.  So much to do and see and enjoy.  It was great and pretty special being there with most of my Mom's family.  My Dad took video of all the fun rides so I don't have pictures to share of those.

Anyway, hope you had a great holiday, I know I did!

Goofy, my fav Disney character 

Art Contest Winner!

I was very surprised and pleased to find out I had won the Art Poster contest for the S.C.E.S  Remembrance Day!  There were a lot of great posters, it was fun to see what I could think of to draw.  Guess they liked what I came up with :-)

Mrs. Green Goes Nuts @ Safety Day

A few weeks ago my teacher Mrs. Green and our class went on a field trip to Safety Days at the Florenceville Civic Centre.  She ended up getting herself into some trouble at the fire safety station...

She had to put on a complete fire suit.  It was big and bulky with lots of different gear and attachments.  She looked like a goof ball!  She said the mask smelt really bad and that the air tank weighted like a 100 pounds!  They didn't make her move because she was wearing such a ginormous suit!. ha ha lol!

Hiking & Fossil Hunting

The fun continues as I had a couple of great day trips this week!

On Monday my Gramps and Aunt Olivia and I went hiking at Fundy National Park!  We had a blast even when it poured rain at one point!

I only have a few pictures of this because my aunt used her SLR camera for most of the photo taking while Gramps and I used the video camera and underwater camera.

Wish I could share some of the video footage with you but can't unless I go through You Tube.

Maybe I'll post some of the pictures later when my aunt gets them loaded onto the computer.

I stayed the night at Gramps and Nanny's then my younger sister Lyvia joined us on Tuesday morning and the three of us set out on our second fossil hunting adventure.

It took a little effort to find a good place but we found some great fossils and had a lot of fun.

Me Underwater

Then we went swimming at Grand Lake.




It was freezing but we just couldn't pass up the swimming and photo shoots with the underwater camera.

The water was a strange orange brown as you will see in the underwater photos of Lyvia and I.

We were going to go camping this weekend all the family including my Grandparents and aunt Olivia but hurricane Irene's coming for a visit and no one wanted to be in a tent for that!  

Summer Fun Continues

Went to the fair a few Saturdays ago, stayed most the day and into the evening to watch the fireworks.  It was a lot of fun, but it sure was a hot day!  The rides were excellent, got to go on a lot of them several times.  Lots more pictures on my Facebook page of the fair and fireworks.

Spending lots of time at my Aunt and Uncles pool, they're the best for letting us enjoy their pool!


Went on a back to school shopping trip last Saturday, we now have everything we need!

Coming up, going hiking at Fundy National Park with my Gramps and Aunt Olivia.  It's a 7K hike with some great swimming holes along the way, should be fun!   Then it's fossil hunting day with Gramps and my sister Lyvia.  We always go swimming at Grand Lake afterwards and of course eat out somewhere.

This week it's Gymnastics camp and I'm working hard :-)
