Thanksgiving in CA!

2010-11-28T11:01:00.000-08:00

Haha it's me eating at a Buffet in Los Vegas.

I'm playing with my cousin Alanya.

This is a pic of me and my family and Santa Cruse Boardwalk.

That ride really hert my ribs,

Yay my cousin got babtized and now a member of the church.

This was maybe my favorite part, Because they had million of games to choose from.

Random Stuff

2010-11-20T10:11:00.000-08:00

I helped Niel pull out the tree stumps in the front yard!

I am definitely taller than my mom now! It SUPER obvious!

My science project.

The outcome.... ziplock bags kept the strawberries the most fresh. I believe it is because no air was able to get in to cause moisture.

I only got 86% on this project.... which pissed me off. I think I should have gotten a WAY better score. Doesn't my poster look awesome?!!

Football 2010!

2010-11-15T10:37:00.000-08:00

I really like defense. I like it because I can hit as hard as I want. I play defensive tackle on the defensive line.

My favorite position on offense was running back. I am starting running back for the A team. I averaged a touchdown a game!!

Halloween

2010-10-30T22:31:00.000-07:00

This is my wonderful Halloween pumpkin. I cut my finger in the making

I made my costume out of random things around the house. My favorite is the green hair.

Summer

2010-09-26T15:12:00.000-07:00

My Lone Peak team is 2-2 and we are starting to get better

I went to Raging Waters this summer it was a lot of fun.
I think that it's better than Seven Peaks.

The biggest thing I did this summer is go to Jackson Hole Wyoming.
We did white water rafting,sledded, and saw a bunch of cool stores.

Football begins

2010-08-08T20:17:00.000-07:00

As you know my favorite sport is football. I'm still the fastest on my team again this year.

I tried out for running back and defensive line.

This is my favorite game in football. It's called the ring of death. Me and Cannon are the "Clash of the Dragons"

I made it on the A team and ready for a new year.
P.S. this is me and Cannon.

The Day has come....

2010-07-18T16:14:00.000-07:00

She is freaking out! I think it is awesome!

Now she is expecting me to carry her around. LAUGH!

Breakfast

Last Day of Elementary School

2010-07-04T14:41:00.000-07:00

This was our 6th Grade Graduation Day.

Austin, Spencer, and Me!

Caleb is one of my best friends. He also has a very crazy smile.

Zach is funny most of the time. That paper on his head says, "Conner was here!"

Me and Mrs. Hill.

She was my 6th grade teacher. She really likes BYU, which means she is really cool!

Brooke and Becca. They are funny and fun to hang out with.

Jared and Brayden. The neighborhood friends I hang out with.

Jake is just plan crazy!

It was a great year. Now on to bigger and better things in Junior High.

Spring Break

2010-05-25T16:48:00.000-07:00

For Spring Break this year we did stuff like....
Climb the biggest net that I've ever seen.

At the same park with the nets. We tried to see who could go the farthest away from the swing, and I won!

Sea World was the bomb! We did lots of stuff like take a simulator to the Arctic, and we saw the Sea Lions act.

The world famous Shamu!! He was awesome, he got a us soaked. He got us so good that Garrett had to dry of in the sun for about a half hour.

As you can see we got soaked.

One of my favorite things about the trip was the ocean. We boogie boarded the whole time there. I even made a cool sand castle

This is my favorite spot on the trip. This place was crazy. It made so that you could lean over a table and not fall of.

We got to go to the Santa Cruze board walk. I was fun and this was a very sick ride!

At the board walk there were crazy benches like this.

At the San Diego Zoo We saw tons of animals. Some were pretty cool but most of them were awesome!!

This is how big my dad is. Just kidding but I thought this guy was very cool. They eat about a full fridge a serving.

Basketball

2010-03-21T08:30:00.000-07:00

This basketball season I was the tallest and the biggest out of everyone. So I'm getting a rebound over everyone.

This is me in the air in a weird position.

Valentines dance

2010-02-28T14:41:00.000-08:00

This year for sixth grade we did a Valentines dance. Most of the dances wear free dances, but some wear partner dances. So I danced with Brooke Mustaing, Bailey F, Maddi Baker,Hailey Flagyar, and Noelle Spencer. I was fun and really different then I thought it would be like.

Science Project

2010-02-03T20:07:00.000-08:00

Science Project

Conner Quiring

The question I am trying to solve for my science project is: Does heat drop the air pressure in a bottle enough to push an egg through the narrow opening?

My hypothesis is: Dropping pressure will not be enough to push the egg through the narrow opening.

The variable is: The air pressure in the bottle when it is cold and when it is hot.

The constants are: The egg and the bottle.

In order to achieve valid results, I will test each of the variables 2 times.

Supplies that I will need: Two eggs, a bottle with a narrow opening, and matches (paper).

My procedure is: Step one, find a bottle with a medium sized mouth. Step two, hard boil the eggs. Step three, place peeled egg on the narrow opening of the bottle. Step four, check if egg falls to the bottom of the bottle. Step five, remove egg put lit matches in the container. Step six, place egg back on opening. Step seven, check to see if the egg is pushed through the container. Step eight was the bottle and then us it again, two to three more times.

My results: When there is no flame in the bottle the egg rest on top of the opening, because the air pressure pushing down on the egg and pushing up on the egg are the same. The matches didn’t work so I burned paper. Once I got a flame in the bottle it did suck the air in the bottle and the air pressure on top of the egg pushed it into the narrow opening of the bottle. Once the flames took some of the air out of the bottle, the air pressure on top was strong enough to push the egg into the bottle.

My conclusion: My hypothesis was wrong because, the air pressure was enough to push the egg into the bottle. The heat of flame sucks the air around it so there is little air inside of the bottle. The air pressure on top of the egg is stronger than the air pressure in the bottle. So it pushes the egg into the bottle.

The egg being pushed down by the air pressure, and with the fire inside the bottle.

Christmas Vacation

2010-01-03T09:21:00.000-08:00

This is the me at my Aunt Elaine's house for Christmas Eve.

For Christmas I got a snowboard and a.....

Regular football and a glow in the dark football (Thanks Noelle!)

For the Christmas party we rockbanded it out!

2009-11-30T15:26:00.001-08:00

We started our cruise in Miami Florida. I was really hot there and sunny. Right now we are still docked at Miami.
This was the first night of are cruise. We just got done from our fancy dinner on the cruise.

This is our cruise ship. We are docked at Grand Turk . It was really sandy and the sand was hard sand. We also saw these really weird fish that looked like eels.

This is at dinner and I'm messing around. I think the food their was great.

This is me at Half Moon Cay. I'm going down a sweet and awesome slide.( it was really a 10 foot slide)

We swam too a floaty toy. When ever it flipped over It would be really hard to gite it back up because, the water was about 12 feet deep. I was about 60 feet away from the shore.

This is me and my brother Garrett. We just got done with a cool sand castle. This sand was really soft.

This is my eating shrimp coktel it was really good.

I was singing with my grandpa and family. We where singing Eye of the Tiger.

This is me and my grandparents. We are in NSSAU.

This was the awsome water park. You will never be able to go on all rides in one day.

This is me when we wear going back on to the bout from the last Island.

This is the last night of the cruise and these where are sweet waiters. They wore both from the Phillipeens.

This was my room. I shared it with my brothers and sister.

This was the Mimi aquareium I got really wet at this show.

Football Season 2009

2009-11-08T19:28:00.000-08:00

Lone Peak Livingston undefeated!

10-0

I have the best offensive lineman in the league! They make me look good.

We had to play Lehi 3 times. Two times during the regular season. The last game was for the Championship. Lehi is a good team, but we are better. We are also very skilled!

This is my first year playing running back. I was very fast and strong. It was hard, but definitely worth it. I hope to play next year as running back. I am going to be better if possible!

This season I got 450 running yards. I had 45 tackles with 6 1/2 sacks included. I also had 7 touchdowns. This was my best season yet.

We are the Champions!

This team was the bomb!

Ya! No more Zach ups!!!

I owe my great season to my incredible coaches. Mike and Chris believed in me and gave me a chance. I will miss them yelling in my ear. :) I am really going to miss it all.

See next year!!

Football 2009!

2009-09-10T17:02:00.000-07:00

I have been given a new nick name .... WHITE RINO!

Football season is going splendid! As of today, my team (Livingston 6A), is first place!! My position is starting Half Back and starting defensive line. It is awesome!!! My team is incredible and unstoppable!!

Here is a summary of each of our games....

Lehi Christensen (12-7): This is the hardest game my team has played. They got the first touchdown, then we dominated the rest of the game. It was very intense!! Our defense was a great, and our offense was pretty good. Christensen was the team we lost to last season, so we were anxious to win this game. I was great on defense but was unable to make many yards on offense. It was a good game to start the season.

L.P. Schirmer (34-7): We weren't sure if we were ready for this game, but we kicked major butt. This game I finally got my first touchdown!!!!!! My coaches were very encouraging and helpful. My offense really stepped it up this game, especially our offensive line did way good. Another great victory.

P.G. Newman (31-7): Our offensive line was a brick wall. My coach said I might have got over 100 running yards. My goal for this game was to kill a Doman kid. I was successful!!!! My mom was petrified when I was getting hit hard, but I survived. I was sick that day and even missed school but I still played my hardest.

Stay tuned for more.....by the way, we have cheerleaders! :)

This Summer

2009-08-20T16:13:00.001-07:00

Summer went by way to fast. Here are a few things I did....

Helped out at the Blood Run. I even ran the 5K. I took 4th place in the kids age group!

I went to Seven Peaks WAY too much!

... and Raging Waters a lot too! Kallie's parents own the park. So, we were lucky enough to go several times.

I turned 12 and became a Deacon!

Caleb and I went to Raging Waters for my birthday. SWEET!!

Yep... that's me. That's my summer!

Oquirrh Mountain Temple

2009-08-02T12:30:00.000-07:00

Me and my family went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. It is the first temple I have ever been in. My favorite part about the temple is the baptismal font. I like it because it is big and has 12 oxen on the bottom. Now I can't what to be twelve so I can get to go in any temple and do baptisms for the dead.

Lindon Pool

2009-07-21T19:50:00.000-07:00

basketball 2009

2009-03-12T17:20:00.000-07:00

My team

This year was a good year. I played Forward on the basketball field. My coach was Coach Vandyke. He is a really good instructor! He said, "The subject of the game is to do your best. If we loose by doing are best then I am happy. If we win and we did poorly then we need to work on stuff. What are we? Unleashed Tigers!"

Bedroom

2009-03-08T13:18:00.000-07:00

At my house we had this competition. It was who had the cleanest room and who ever had the cleanest room would win a free sleep over. I won it! It took me two hours to clean it and I won by far. I used it to sleep over at my cousin's house. This is what it looked like.

My first basketball game this seson

2009-01-11T11:37:00.000-08:00

Are team name is the Tigers, My teams players are Josh, Christer, Chris, Seth AKA striker, Spencer, Tyler,Will,and Mat. So are first game was hard and two people got injured one by me. we won the game and the new guy Chris got the most rebounds in the game. so we are 1-0.

Sunday

2008-12-15T14:15:00.000-08:00

On Sunday it was not the normal Sundays that I have. I went to a Priesthood preview it was pretty cool! Lots of stuff to do. Then I went to a Chrismas party at my grandparents house. Lots of people were there we played this game were you pass a dice to every one and try to roll doubles. If you get the dice right you get to try to open a candy bar with a knife. You can only use one hand and gloves on each hand and put a scarf on and then you're good to go.

P.S. when someone else gets the dice right, it's there turn.

This Lehi Millerd team was 4-1. We made them 4-2! They were really good!!

91 was my guy. I never let him through. I got 1 sack that game.

My favorite play is the screen because I get to kill the little guys. I killed number 1 on the screen play and got a touchdown.

Check out this awesome block!! Can you see the quarterback behind me? 91 could not get through.

A Quarterback Sack

2008-09-08T19:13:00.001-07:00

This is my first year in football! I love it!!!! And my mom says I am really good. I play defensive tackle and offensive line. I am first starting on both positions, so I get pretty tired because I play most of the game.
This is me at my very first competitive game. On this play, I am sacking the quarterback. The football just left his hands right as I tackled him. The tackle made him throw the ball not where he wanted too.... and it caused an interception. GO LONEPEAK!!! We won the game! The score was 13/7. It was a good first game!

Aloha!

2008-07-24T16:57:00.000-07:00

Guess where I went? TO KAUAI HAWAII!

We got to Boogie board almost every single day we were there. My two favorite spots, where the waves were the biggest, was Secret Beach and North Shore Beach.

We went on a catamaran. We got to jump into the ocean near the Napali Coast and snorkel. There was some big fish in the ocean. My mom got sick and threw up off the side of the boat...haha!

We took a helicopter tour. There was a lot of waterfalls and we got to see where Jurassic Park was filmed. It was cool!

This is me at Shipwreck Beach. The currant was ginormous! Garrett was hero for the day when he saved Niel's shoes from being suck away!

This was the first time I canoed. I am a pro. We even got to go off a damn. Our guide was super awesome! His name of Drew. He and I had a race in our canoes.

Next, we got to go zip lining. Drew is hooking me up and getting ready to let me ride. It was SWEET!

This is my room with Kevin. The kids got their own house. NO PARENTS! We got to watch TV late at night with no one telling us what to do.

This is all the cousins at Turtle Bay. It was the nicest hotel I have ever been too. They had parrots inside. Outside they had a nice swimming pool with a water slide. I got to stay 2 days longer then my brothers!

Wow

My county report

2008-01-11T19:15:00.000-08:00

PIUTE COUNTY

By Conner Quiring

If you don’t know anything about Piute read this. There’s mining, Butch Cassidy, and recreation.

Piute County has a gold mine. Here are three facts of mining. Gold was found in 1868-1956. There was 240,000 ounces of gold found. The mine where the gold was found, was in Lode Mines in Tushar Range. After all, mining is cool.

I’m wondering if you know Butch Cassidy? Did you know he was a western out law? What’s cool is that he was raised by Mormon pioneers. Where was he was raised, you might ask? He was raised in Eln Circle Utah. If you like that you should look in to it more.

Now there are some fun activities you can do in Piute County. There is a mountain that is 2,000 feet tall. It is called Tushar Mountain. If you would like to do another exciting activity, then go to Elk Meadows. There is also fishing and boating in the Piute Lake.

I think that I would go fishing and boating if I went there. I could possibly even be rich. Piute sounds cool and sweet! I would recommend you take a vacation to Piute County.
