Finished Grade One!!

Another school year is over and guess what?! I passed!! Grade Two here I come!! But not too soon...I want a vacation from school. I worked hard this year and I'm tired. Yesterday was the last day of school. We just spent all day playing, eating sweets and being crazy. I got my report card and you would never believe it...3 A's!!! Am I awesome or what?! Another A in reading, art and one in science. I love science!! I'm always telling mommy and Tony about how the world works. It's pretty interesting.

Now that school is out I'm ready to relax and play all summer long. Except I'm still going to read a lot this summer and I'm going to keep a journal just so I don't forget some things.

We've got the pool all filled and up now. It's great!! We had some really hot days at the beginning of June so one of those days we started filling the pool. Then Mason and his friend came over and we all splashed and slid in the pool. So much fun! Then we swam in the pool all week long! Since then it hasn't been too warm but today we're going in swimming again. Unfortunately we've had a leak in the top tube...so we had to take the solar blanket off so it's a bit cooler (70F). Oh well...hopefully we can find a way to fix the leak soon. I'm so excited to swim and play with Ollie again...he was so flat all winter. :)

My last soccer game of the season was last week. We won against the black team (Mason's and Madelaine's team). I was so happy!! I even played goalie for awhile. Afterwards we had a celebration with freezies and we got a soccer ball to bring home. So cool! I'm going to miss playing soccer. But now I play ball hockey. Last night was my first game. I was on the yellow team. I still need to get some hockey gloves and a face mask but I had a great time. I was sweating so much my head was dripping water. Whew...hard work! But I got an assist!! We play the real rules of hockey so it's hard to remember but I'll get them down soon enough.

Hmm...not much else is new. Last week we went on our end of year field trip to the Nature Museum. Mommy came to help out. In our group was me, John, Connor, Dallys and Shailynne. We were a bit of a handful but it was fun. We were gone all day!

I guess that's all for now. Yahoo for summer vacation!!

Spring Fun

As you can see I'm losing teeth again!! This picture was taken when only one front top one was gone but last night the other one fell out. So now I really do have the hockey smile. Mommy will have to take a picture of that smile.

We haven't updated this in a very long time. We've been having lots of fun now that spring has arrived. I started playing soccer in Embrun on Thursday nights. My team is hunter green and I got a real soccer jersey. It's so cool!! I had a hard time with the drills at first since our coach was speaking mostly French but now it's better because she speaks more English. I LOVE playing in the game and am even getting in there in the action now. Usually after soccer we go out for our weekly treat to either Tim Horton's or Dairy Queen. It's a pretty great night. Last week Shannon, Nat and Gaby came to watch. That was pretty neat to show off for them.

Also in May I got a new cousin!! Kate was born on May 3rd. I was sure Auntie Jodie was having a boy and sent all my boy clothes but nope...it's a girl. We had to go shopping to get her some more clothes. Poor Kate was wearing my boy clothes. We can't wait to go to the Soo to see her.

I turned 7 in May too. Can you beleive it?! 7 already!! I had soccer on the day of my birthday but then we had my big birthday party the next day. And it was a PD Day so I didn't have school. My party was CRAZY fun!! I had 8 of my friends come over and we made pizzas, played games, broke a crazy lizard pinata, had cake and ice cream, opened presents and had sparklers and glow bracelets. It was nutso!! Mommy made a construction cake just like I wanted. Then for Mother's Day there was some left over so I brought it to mommy in bed for breakfast. Silly me! My birthday gift was a new bike. It's so cool!! I went to pick it out at Toys R Us. It's a Tonka one. Hopefully soon we'll get the training wheels off and I'll feel confident riding without them but right now I still want them on. I'm scared I'm going to fall.

This past month I also went to Ivan's birthday party. If I thought my party was crazy his was even crazier. Like the whole school was there! This weekend is Simon's party. It's nice to have friends around here now.

Last week I was pretty sick. I got some sort of bug in my tummy and I had a whole lots of poop. Yuck! Then I shared it with mommy and Tony and they shared it with everyone they knew. Nice of me isn't it?? But we're all better now.

I'm pretty excited for school to be out. I haven't been keeping up with my homework...it's so hard in the nice weather to sit inside and work on homework. I have to do a bunch tonight to catch up. I start ball hockey in a few weeks too. Soccer ends at the end of June and then I have ball hockey from June through to August. We're playing in the hockey arena. It's going to be so cool!

I have to go take care of Tucker...he is crazy.
