Sorry! October 7, 2007

I’m so sorry I haven’t blogged in a while! Let me catch you up. I’ve ended summer holidays and gone back to school. My teacher rocks! We, as in my classmates and I, have had a lot of fun. My soccer season has started, and I’m doing great! Four goals in three games!

Oh, did I mention that I went to New Hampshire for two weeks in August? Yeah, it was fun. I even flew up alone and stayed with my grandparents (alone) for a week. Then, my parents came up with my sisters by car. Since my grandparents live on a lake, we had lots of fun. Kayaking, canoeing and swimming galore!

I also went biking. My dad took me mountain biking for the first time! So fun!

Then, of course, there was Tamarack the black lab, my grandparents’ dog. So loving, and cute. Tamarack loved me. I loved her. But now, she’s up in heaven playing catch with Seamus, my dog… I miss them so much. I liked the fishing, too. Tamarack would fish in a little cove, beside the house where I stayed.

Well, I went home, and sports started up again. I already mentioned soccer, so I’ll talk about swimming. So far, so good. I think I’m getting better. And I made a couple friends.

My 10th birthday happened soon after I got home. I invited a lot of friends to my party and got some really cool presents, including five Webkinz! We had lots of fun decorating cupcakes, playing kickball and doing lots of other things. Well, gotta go! See ya!

Finally a First… And A Goal! April 29, 2007

I got first place in my school fun run on Friday! What a race! I quickly pounded my way to second. The lead girl had been sprinting the entire thing (I was still on her tail, but not sprinting), and was getting tired. In the last three blocks, I caught, then passed her. My dad said that when I started srinting, even he had a hard time keeping up with me! I was about a block ahead of second place, and my time for eight tenths of a mile was about (drumroll please)… 6:10! If the run was a mile, my time would be near 7:30, my best time ever! I got this awesome medal. Here is a picture.

On Saturday, I went to my soccer game happy, knowing I had a car full of family coming to watch me play. My coach was out of town, so my mom helped another coach, well, coach us. During the beginning of the first half, I twisted my left knee, and had to come of the field. I really wanted to play the rest of the game and not go to get an x-ray, so I walked it off. It hurt to straighten my leg, but I withstood the pain, and was able to play a bit more of the first half. The reason I had to leave the field (again) was that after I kneed the ball, it started hurting (again). I played the entire second half, and scored a goal!!! We lost the game, 4-2, but I had fun playing. My knee still hurts, but not as much as it did yesterday. The title says it all, doesn’t it! Gotta go!!!

Busy Day! March 24, 2007

Whew! What a busy day. I had the championship swim meet, 2 soccer games, the City-Wide Science Fair, and now my parents are going out to an awards ceremony for my Dad’s section of the newspaper. Alanna’s coming to babysit. Guess what? I got first place in the City-Wide Science Fair for my grade level and section. We won our second game in soccer (I scored two of the 7 goals), and I got second in Freestyle at the meet. Today was BUSY!!! (and Millie scored a goal in her game too)

Soccer Day! March 14, 2007

I had soccer today. My team is part of the Norfolk United Soccer Club. We had a hard practice today!!! My team scrimmaged and I scored five goals. Now I’m tired, sort of, and I am about to have dessert. I’m going to have ice cream. See ya.

Hello world! February 4, 2007

Hi! I’m the average 9-year-old girl. I got interested in blogging because of my dad’s blog. I love 4 sqaure, taking pictures, and reading. But what I call the ultimate sports are soccer and swimming!!!!!!! Here’s a photo of me playing.

Like my dad, I love biking. My family includes two sisters, a mother, and a father. Most of the time my house looks like a bomb blew up in it. I also have five loving grandparents, and a hamster!
