I don't know if i've told you, but Katie is our oldest cousin. She is very responsible, a good leader, and a smart student. She knows when to fight her own battles when they come upon her. She cares and respects others, and that's why she is a GREAT! Cousin to ALL of us! All of my cousins are special in many ways i will name all of our cousins in kingsort on my moms side: Katie, Sam, Abby, Brady, Mason, and Jerimiah. Here are my aunts(my moms sisters): Betty, Nichelle, and Jessica. My uncles: Chris, Roger, and Mikey. My Nana: Diane My papaw:Al

This is me getting ready to leave for Washington D.C. Me and Karrie all ready to go!

I definetely got these pictures out of order, but this is me watching TV.

This is me doing a hurdle at my track meet. Gymnastics has helped me alot! (i have no idea whos hair that is at the bottom)
This is me and my friends stretching before the 4*800
Once again be doing my hurdles( this is when i was starting to land)

Here are some more pictures. We are sitting next to the National Museum of Natural History. This museum is where the shot the movie The Night at the Museum. We had fun looking through it.
This is the picture view we got from the VERY top of the Washington Monument.
At first I was a little scared when i looked up at the whole thing, but once you ride the elevator up it's not that bad.

Not to long ago, my best friend Karrie invited me to come to Washington D.C. with her! I HAD A BLAST!!!!!!!! I got to see all the info my teachers teach me in text books, and i got to see it in real life. But as alot of people know i'm not a big fan of spending the night away, but it's kinda odd that i can stay 7 hours away but not 5 min. away. That's what i told my cousin david A.k.a. (coach Carter) Everyone calls him that. He's a teacher. Here is the Lincoln Memorial.
This is Me, Karrie, Allison (ally) Karrie's sister, and Brenton .Karrie's brother. We are in front of the White House This is as close as we can get.


I promise i will get more pictures posted later.

This is me helping and my cousin Abby hold me hamster bella. P.S those are guess who? boots in the background. ha! ha!

These are some friends of Ethan's that spent the night last night. Starting from the left, (Cory, Logan, Ethan, and Lane.) They had fun playing baseball in the front yard. After a while they came back in to rest, and of course play............Playstation! Well, thank goodness i wasn't even there, mom took this pic. I was with my cousin Katie at her guitar lessons. Her and my younger cousin Abby started taking lessons. After we got back home, Katie spent the night with me. I didn't think I could put up with all of these boys with just me and mom in the house! Well, it was about 9:00 to 10:00, so i thought i would give my mom a rest so she could catch up on blogging, cleaning, and all that other stuff. So, the boys came in my room. (Talk about a big mess to clean up!) and we gave them a free spa. It was fun actually! Then around 11:30 mom made the boys get in bed finally! So, they went in there room and played a little bit. Me and Katie went up there shortly to see what they were up to, so, we planned that they would be asleep, but a usual they were up at 2:30 in the morning.

My mood: happy :.)

Today has been a good day so far. Mom is working the race. Ethan and dad are at Ethan's baseball game. And im with my Aunt JoAnn. I had a friend spend the night last night, so i'm trying to rest a little bit. I also had a volleyball game this morning @ 9:00, and i had one last night @ 8:oo! We didn't go to bed until around 12:00! So im tired! Well, the good news is that we won our volleyball game! But we lost last nights. :.( We played my friend Taylor's team.Well, gotta go, we have company!

Me and katie were tiny! I was about 1year and katie was about 3 years old! If only i could remember back in the diaper days! LOL!

Gymnastics Around The World

Not to long ago I had to make a big decision. I had to pick a sport between basketball and gymnastics. I was thinking basketball would be better because its not a year around sport, But gymnastics is! So,............. I chose basketball and had to quit gymnastics, the sport i had taking since i was 2 years old! I thought it would be better to just take a break from gymnastics, because it took up so much time during the day, and i had no study time! I quit back in October, and now i have some second thoughts about what i finally chose. I wanted to go back so bad!!!!! So i told my mom and dad that i wanted to go back, and they didnt really like my idea! They said "sydney you know your going to have to quit again in middle school if you play basketball next year!" But then a day later Danny called, thats my gymnastics coach, and he said that he had a prep- op program I could participate in. Its more of a recreational gymnastics program. So we thought long and hard about the situation, and then agreed with it! (but my parents are still regreting this a little bit) Well before long i will be back in that gym working out again! "YES"!
