Hey you guys! Just thought I would get you a quick little up-date, since the last one was whimpy! So, school is great just the end of the tri got all A's this time... yeah, its a first, but I still got $40.00 so it was totally worth it! The rest is just the crappy drama, I swear girls, ugh... some people's parents! haha just kiddin. I'm still doing soccer, last game wasn't my favorite, we played the team that hurt my knee so on top of how timid I already am, talk about more! I was FREAKED out! But still got pissed off about how the game ended...:( Bridge is bridge I love it! Me and Doom make the best out of that thing!!!!! I'm sure some of you have heard some of our stories! Haha one of the little instructor dude Cory is beyond funny!!! haha got to love it. Oh and then, I just found out today that Mckall is coming to visit on Friday! I have not talked to that girl since summer when she moved to Texas!!!!! Anyway, that is pretty much life right now. Just thought that I would get a little update!
Peace :)
Love, Alex

Head picture!

Great story behind that picture! lol Em, and Doom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cabin!

The cabin was so much fun! We left for Island park Tuesday morning, bright and early and then left to get back to Utah Friday morning, once again... bright and early! It was a very eventful trip. Tuesday we just got unpacked and hung out. Wednesday we went out into the meadow kind of by the cabins to go tubing and mess around in the powder! It was so fun, I spent alot of my time pulling some of my cousins around... it was a sight they would all pile on to a little tube with a HUGE hole in the middle they all fell right through it, their butts were draggin in the snow the whole way! The 2 that got it worse were usually Sami, and Alyssa they were the 2 oldest so they got the bottom the next row on top of them would be Payson, and Megan, then on top the fragile one Anna! HAHA! it came from Anna's pants falling down to her ankles, to Megan's arm falling through the hole and getting ran over! It was so much fun! I got goin pretty fast, dang can most of those kids hold on, they all tumbled off as soon as one person fell though! I think Pays made the best of it! He is quite the funny kid! Then I would get on the tube with my uncles driving (bad idea), all the powder, jumps and speed that they put me threw I was sore. Thursday we all took rides up to Spring Creek a few miles up the road. We only had 8 snowmobilles so we had to split the groups up. My ride up I had my little sister Megan behind me! The next event was Truman on the way up getting sick with the flu that carried on to his mom (my aunt) Amber getting sick, then to my mom's sister (my aunt) Natalie and then my Grandma, then finally Carter puking off the loft all over the next floor... Count on the Manwaring's to make some thing fun! I have so much more to tell about but we will leave it at that! I will post some pictures as soon as I can get them on to my computer! Love you all!
Love Alex

MEGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy birthday Meg! I love you to death. We have our moments of good and bad but, for most of the time we get along! Megan is the cutest little girl you ever shall meet! She loves soccer, and just being a girl! She is just like me! I love her to death and wish her the best on her birthday!
Love ya sis.
Love, Alex

ISLAND PARK!!!

Every year since I can remember, I have gone on a huge family trip! My WHOLE extended family on my mom's side would go up and stay in a cabin and go snowmobilin! When I was younger my Grandpa would get one really big cabin out in Yellow Stone that we would stay in! I remember that cabin so well! There was one room that all the parents would go up in and play Murder in the Dark or Mofia (I think that is how you spell it...) all I remember I could hear when that was going on was screaming or someone getting hit up against the wall... uncle's and their rough housing... but the thing that I remember most in that room was the window ceil filled with gross little dead flys.. haha GREAT MEMORY isn't it? This Cabin was huge! But, for the last few years my Grandpa has been getting ones up in Island Park! We get 3 cabins and split the families and then all get together during the day then go off to our own cabins and get to bed then meet in a certain cabin all day and carry on with that routine! It is so much fun! There is a hot tub, tons of food, and all the family! The Manwaring family always has great times! Snowmobiling is the best though... ecspecially when your on the back of the tube... last year I was on the back with my crazy uncle Ben, with my aunt Natalie and Emily I think we were all piled on and they flew off so I am on the tube by myself and Ben is going crazy I lived through it and when he stopped I was completly covered from head to toe in snow... it was COLD! I am so excited to go this year! I leave Tuesday morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!
love, alex

The big "test"

ON our soccer team we have 3 girls that have hurt their knee's. Dominique, Mackenzie, and Me. Dominique and Mackenzie have gotten the deal worst then me, they tore their ACL's where I only tore my MCL. So they got the whole surgury idea and i didn't! (thankgoodness) But both of them have been doing PT since summer and they have finally progressed to get into Bridge where I am getting really close. So back to the "Big test" idea. On Tuesday I am going to PT and taking a physical test that will tell me how well my knee has progressed and if I am ready to accel to Bridge. So I am hoping that I will do good and be jjust fine and get out of PT and on to Bridge which then I will be only about 2 weeks away from soccer!!!!! Well, Doom and Kenzie are both ready for Bridge and they are going to wait till I am and we will all do it together (so that we can push eachother so all of us can get back into soccer!) I think that this will be a good experience cause Kenzie is new and she isn't quite used to our team yet. So I hope that I can get her more comfortable with me and the team. (Our team has been together since we were little. Some new ones on the way but they all fit right in. My soccer team is like my second family! I love then all to death and I am so glad that we are all best friends! It is the best and I can't wait till Kenzie will be able to be herself around us! She seems really cool and a really pretty girl!) Well there is my little speech for the day... haha well g2g eat dinner....
TTYL!
Love, alex

Saturday, February 7!

Tonight was so much fun! Me, Scout and Dominique all went to the movie "Uninvited!" It was the best movie ever! It isn't scary, but it is jumpy. I hated one scene casue it was kind of bloody and disturbing. How the movie all ended was pretty wierd to! But, it was REALLY REALLY GOOD! After the movie we walked over to Charlie's, we all almost got ran over like 3 times... haha. great times. and then after we got done eating our shakes and sundaes lol we went outside to wait for their mom to pick us up. Scout started breaking out into a song then just out of the blue doom started snapping to it so i started to hum. lol it was a great musical. then like 3 cars in a row waved at us. I had no idea who they were and they started to like hit their windows on the car. scout put on her hood and hid like she didn't know me and doom. well anyway, it was great memories. Me, Doom, and Scout always have tons of fun together only them will get this next part but we ahd great grandma clothes, playing dress up in the dark, watching the notebook at likw age 6, harry potter, popcorn and licking the bags, trying on some of andrea's clothes when we knew they wouldn't fit, babysitting Peyton and Jack, and scrapbooking and so much more. WE HAVE GREAT TIMES TOGETHER! HA well got to go! see ya

NO LIFE!

Okay, so you all know how I tore my MCL partially right? Well I have been doing PT (Physical Therapy) lately to strenghten my right knee up. Well, when I first went I could only bend my knee to like 102 degree's, Now I can do it to 131! I am so proud of myself... still got alot of strengthen to do though... One of the worse workouts that he makes me do is this half ball balancing thing it helps me to not favor one leg more then the other... I KNOW I KNOW. I make it sound SO easy. BUt it is really, really hard. Even for you not so crippled people you guys would have a tough time. But, on Thursday (I think that was when it was) I had a 3 week appointment with my doctor, Doctor Higgenbothom! He is really cool. Well anyway he showed me my MRI pictures it is so wierd how they can get pictures like that but, it showed the MCL and how it is like split in the middle, its hard to explain but it is wierd... but he felt around in my knee and he said that it is getting "somewhat" better. So, He said that I could move on to Bridge (It is like a Acceleration thing but for "handicapped" people like me!) But, it will give me some more movements on my knee from side to side like more athletic stuff... but, that won't be able to happen until I can walk normal which then my PT Nathan will move me on to a slow jog and then i have to be able to hop and balance better then, I can go to Bridge! My Doctor said I oculd play soccer whenever I "feel comfortable" which that was a VERY long time ago. But, the PT said that it would be best for me not to play for a bit and OF COURSE my Dad had to be there, or else I would have told my Dad that he said I could... DANG IT!!!! Well, when we walked out of the Hospital he said that I could start to play soccer as soon as i can get into bridge, which means I will do my best to push my self... even though it HURTS LIKE HECK already... oh well soccer and sports are SO worth it... I hurt my knee on the 18th of December it has beem more then a whole month... oh wow itsw harsh... well... that is the update on the knee... THANKS!
Love, Alex!

Kahlyssa's Birthday!

Hey everyone! Today is one of my WAY good friend Kahlyssa's Birthday. Around Christmas a year or two ago, she had moved to Germany cause her Dad got a job to work with the army at a base in Germany! I miss her so much! It was so hard for me to let her leave! I remember on that day of school we were all crying our eyes out... She is coming back soon! I am so excited I just have to wait till that moment comes! But, When she does, party at my house WHOO WHOO!
Well Kahlyssa! I hope that you have a great day in Germany and hope that these girls in Utah have made it even better with the pictures and presents! I love ya!
Love, Alex!

school, school, and more and more school!

School is insane I am so confused! Today in History my teacher (Mr. Sigg, he looks like Jesus! that is before he shaved his beard into a little go tee.. how do you spell that?) well anyway, he was going on and on and on about this worksheet that he is giving us to do. It is talking about the french and indian war and he expects me to draw a freaking map and label things that i had no idea exsixted!!! UGH! It was terrible who seriously knows every single little place that the British had a war and won it over the French? And all the forts along the way! I look back at Drew, Sean and Court and were just all in awe while he is putting some random cities in the middle of no where.... it was like they in a whole different world! I mean, if anyone knows what the crap "Halifax" is then i give you five stars! And then! Mr. Wright, Oh goodness could i go on and on about him... He looks like a shaved rat! Me, Madi and Josh (We all sit by eachother! What teacher would put 3 8th grade friends by eachother with Alex around? I NEVER stop talking...) well anyway, we call him Rufus the Naked Mole Rat! Well, Me and Madi in french today did some researching in the HUGE french dictionary and decided to find out how to say "Rufus the Naked Mole Rat" in french well, if anyone was wondering you say it like this! "Nue de beaute salaud!" We couldn;t find mole... so it is beauty mark beacause that is what a mole is! Am i right? Well i thought I would give you my update for the day at school, and there was nothing better to do! so! i will ttyl!
Love alex
