I'mmmmm back

I've been focusing on school for the past several months so I haven't had time to blog. OK, really, my dad was lazy and didn't want to spend a whole 15 minutes typing my messages. Ooops, he's back so act like I didn't say that.
So, this blog may be lengthy as I have to catch you up on the life that is Ella. Let's see, let's start with the basics.

School - it's good. I get good grades, the occasional yellow card. Oh yeah, I won the citizenship award for the school in February. That's a pretty big deal. My mom and dad asked why I won it. The answer is simple, I make sure that everyone is included in things. Some of my friends don't like it when I do that but I just say "who cares, that's the way it is". Anyway, school is wrapping up. I'm getting 3s in all my subjects (that's a 3 out of 3) and I'm testing above the benchmark whatever that means.

Soccer - I moved up a league this season and did well. I scored a few goals and dropped some dimes on my teammates. The boys are ball hogs so if they get it, it's no fun. My friend Emma played on the team and we did well. I played in my first tournament a couple of weeks ago. Three games in one day. I was tired but daddy supplied treats between games and plenty of water. He said something about officially becoming a soccer parent. Badge of honor if you ask me. Besides, he drives a station wagon so anything is a step up on the cool factor from that.

Kids Fun Run - I ran a mile with my dad in a Kids Fun Run. I would have gone faster but my dad held me back. I was so bored that I held up the rock and roll sign for the last quarter mile.

Sister - my sister is getting bigger. She's got a blog also but that was updated the last time mine was so you'll have to read the small biography my dad writes to catch up on those 6 months. The only word she knows is my name. I do love her but she is trouble. All she does is cry, eat and poop. I like reading to her but she's got the attention of a spider monkey so I usually only get a couple of sentences in.

Mom and Dad - they are way busy at work but do a pretty good job of taking care of their responsibilities at home which is treating me like I'm the only kid they have. I know that sounds selfish but, hey, it's me we're talking about.

Tooth - lost my first one. Came out while I was eating corn on the cob. Actually, it got real loose eating corn on the cob and dad yanked it out. $5.00, oh yeah!

Went to Mardi Gras in Louisianna - came home with lots of beads and a chicken foot. Mommy got sun-burned on her boobies getting me the beads and the chicken foot is really cool!

Plans for Summer - Trips to grandparents (both sets). I was going to fly from Grandpa Steve's to Nana and Papas and then home all by myself but Grandpa Steve won't let me. He's going to fly with me now. "He's just silly because I know he's scared to fly because he drives everywhere. I'll make sure he is ok because it's just flying." (actual Ella quote to Grandpa Steve) After that, I don't know. I'm thinking about playing softball and taking golf lessons. We'll see.

Now that summer is approaching and I don't have any more homework, I'll make sure mom and dad get to posting my musings.
