summer stuff....

2009-07-12T15:53:00.001-07:00

ok...i got new hair cut...here it is..and i will put pics from the rodeo up soon!

In Arizona!

2009-06-30T21:10:00.000-07:00

i am finally in Arizona visiting my mom! i just got here yesterday, and all im doing is helping her move, which is ok, but it gets really boring. YA KNOW!? and then when i get back to bend, im ganna be moving there too, so all my life is right now is moving, haha.

well, anyways.....last week was girls camp!
I had so much fun, it was probably the most memorable time Ive ever had at camp before. I made so many new friends, and strengthened the ones i already had. Oh, and we all lost like 5 pounds during camp too! ya know why!? because the camp was 1/2 mile from our cabins to the mess hall, and we walked that like 15 times a day. and then we climbed Mnt.McGloughlin (which is 9,500 feet by the way....and it was a 4,500 climb from top to bottom....and a 25 mile hike) and then swam a mile across the lake the next day!
I know, call me CRAZY, but i am....i just enjoy that kind of crazy stuff.

So ive decided that im ganna climb South Sister when i get back to Bend with my brother and dad (which is 10,500 feet)

ok, so i have some really cool pictures from the peak of the mountain, and some cool pictures from cross country, but i dont really feel like putting them up right now...im just lazy like that, haha. so ill post them up tomorrow probably :)

chow!

End of year catch up....

2009-06-16T12:04:00.000-07:00

Well, i suppose i should write about the last day week of school and all that...even though i dont really have the motivation to take the time to write about all the boring and stupid stuff that has happened...so ill just talk about the exiting stuff!

last day of school:
so there were no finals this day! very exiting!!!!!!!!!!! and i survived all the finals pulling off an A in my math class, A in photography, A in APEuro, A in court sports, and a B in spanish....but i gt an academic letter this year! and the 3 sports award! so that adds up to an amazing 6 letters in two years! (my mom sais im well on my way to a scholorship...i hope so, cause i need one!) so then me and my friends decided to do our end of year tradition and hang out on the last day of school...we got some chinese food, went swimmig, then walked around, took a nice relaxing nap in the cemetary (it was nice! not creepy!) Then we went to Taylors house and did pretty much nothing....(me and savvy played the piano for like an hour bugging kiegan and taylor out of thier minds! haha!)
then we watched casanova, and went to bed at like 3, haha....then ya....

so for the first weekend of the summer, all i did was pretty much work all day. then i went for a bike ride on saturday, and it started raining like crazy, and i called my dad to ask him to pick me up... and this was the conversation:
me: hi dad!
dad: hi
me: ummmmmmm.....do you want to pick me up, haha, its kinda raining really hard...
dad: not really
me: what!?
dad: ya, you can ride home in the rain, ive done it plenty of times
me: uhhhhhh...ok...FINE!

and let me tell you, it was the worst storm that has been here in a long time! and i hade like 10 miles to ride home in the rain with! agh!

so this week, cross country summer practices have finally started, and im so exited to get back in shape (i have to for next week, cause im hiking up a mountain for 12 miles, im so exited!)

oh...well...i gatta go work, talk to ya later! and yes, i will do more posts this summer fo sho! (haha!)

Awsome photoshop!

2009-06-10T13:47:00.000-07:00

so it is the second to last day of school, and i am in photography....we learned some awesome new stuff on photoshop! i changed the pic of my brother up and stuff....here it is! enjoy!

this is the original...

this is simple editing....

and this is the final piece!

so....first you make the pic black and white....then you choose the magnetic lasso tool and outline what part you want...then you go to layers and make a new layer, change the color, and change the opacity to 25%...select the color box thing on the bottom left and change the color to what you want....the fill the shape with the color with the fill button...the adjust the opacity on the right side of the tools...then choose a different tool and click on pic to get out of magnet thing....then go up to layer and flatten the image! and wallah! you have an awesome changed up colored picture!!! like this one up here! :P

photography!

2009-06-09T20:26:00.000-07:00

New Paintings and Drawings

2008-05-29T16:13:00.000-07:00

These are some pastel drawings that I did. I decided to experiment with pastels since last time I used them I didnt like them. I think I did good, but you could leave a comment below and tell me what you think.
thanks, I could use all the input I could get.

This is a surrealistic painting that I did for my art class in school. The teacher made us draw three objects out of a hat that we had to paint in a surrealistic background. I picked: Calander, Sun, and necklace. Can you see them?

So please leave some comments to give me advise on my artwork. And look at one of my earlier posts to help me name my other painting. I could use all the input I can get!

Another Track Meet!!!

2008-05-06T19:05:00.000-07:00

Look its me! Thats me running in the 300 meter hurdles race. I got first with a time of 54.31 sec!

Sorry about not keeping up with my blog, but track has been taking up all my time. The team and I have been having a great season this year. We are one of the top in the state with some of the best athletes in the state! (including me! dont meen to brag...) Ill just fill you in on my track life...

I had a meet on friday the 4th last week, and I ran the 1500 meter race. I was doing good until the 2nd lap when I got tripped from behind and fell! After falling, my time was amazingly ok. ( I got 5:24) Then after getting a band-aid and picking myself up, I ran the 3000. ( it was my first time too!) I did really good! I got 7th with a time of 11:34 which puts me in the 9th best place in the district!

I just had a meet today! I got first in the 1500 meter race with a time of 5:20 (which is not my best time, my best is 5:15!). I also ran the 800 meter run in 2:40 ( I had never raced that race before, so I was slow!)

My friends are also doing amazing! Taylor is running in varsity high hurdles with a best time of 18.04 sec.!!! And my friend Keigan got first today in her heat in the 100 meter race! Our 4 by 4 girls relay team is 3rd in the state! So, our team is just doing amazing this year!

Here are some pictures of my friends running and jumping.

This is Ayla Rosan jumping in the long jump.

This is Sara Roshack in the 4 by 100 meter relay.

This is Ayla Rosan again in the 4 by 4 relay.

This is our guys 100 meter relay team. They are Ash Gibson on the right and Dough Peterman on the left.

This is the start of the guys 1500 with my buddies Jason, chase, Jordan, and Andrew.

So I will fill you in on my districts meet next week, I hope I do good and I hope you guys cheer me on in your minds!

Track Meet!

2008-04-06T11:38:00.000-07:00

Hey! My team and I just got back from Portland from ourt track meet. It was awsome. I didnt get any good pictures of the meet because it was raining the whole time. But I got 3rd in the 300 meter hurles and 5:32 in the 1500 meter race; and i was racing in varsity on both! I will try to get some pictures of me racing next time, sorry!

After the race, we went to go eat. The coaches just let us scatter around everywhere and only gave us an hour to eat. we were a little late because my freinds and I went to eat at a fancy restraunt. At least the food was good.
Then we took showers, had a team talent show until 11:00 at night, then got like 6 hours of sleep! boo!

The next day, we went to the pro pepsi invite track and field meet. It was amazing! In the 1500 people run it in like 4 minutes, its insane! I hope someday I will be able to run like that. My favorite event to watch there was the hurdles, it is absolutly insane. I wish I got some pictures or a video for you guys to watch, but it was too rainy to get my camera out. sorry.

At the meat, we got to meat Ashton Eaton because he went to our school, so we also got a private tour of the facilities there, it was awsome.

Overall, my whole weakend hase bean awsome!

Just some funny pictures

2008-03-30T17:22:00.000-07:00

I got a new camera!
So I got a new camera and I started taking some pictures of my funny family again. For me this is a big deal, I have really bad luck with cameras and they always break on me, so wish me luck to not break this one! I got it for an early birthday present (my birthday is in 13 days!)

this is "funny face Greg"

this is "devil Matt"

this one is cool, its called "multi task Greg". I used the panorama mode on the camera while Greg was moving around in the kitchen. sorry its not very big.
