I never get on this thing because Mom doesn't like to type for me anymore and well, I've not yet gotten to typing.  But I suspect I'll be typing my own blog in the next few years, if Mom's right about anything.  She seems to think I will be.  She keeps buying me journals and I just started to write in them with words. I just got a pal I pass notes to in class. (We got sent to the principal's office! )  

I just turned 8 and my specs above can show what I'm currently "in to".  I basically like to play Skylanders with my buddy Colby (we went to Great Wolf Lodge for my birthday and rode the Tornado water slide with Mom!), play outside with  my buddy Michael, and talk to my friends at school.  I don't really play with kids in the neighborhood much.  They are either too old, to different or too young.  I get to see Audrey every couple of months and she's still cool.  Shy, but cool. I have a new friend named Keegan that is older - ten - and I like him a lot. We are creative together and that's fun.

I am into Judo now and am dropping gymnastics after three years this January.  I want to do more martial arts instead now.  I love learning how to defend myself but am not really into it for learning how to "fight".  I'm not much of a fighter personality.  Peace and love baby!  

I am super smart and still hold the title of all straight As, but apparently talking in class and making noises and nervous fidgeting to pass time in second grade gets my *daily sticker* yanked and I get all my technology swiped.  Technology equates my tablet, my Wii, my Nintendo DS, all computer games (woah - four sources of video games!) - Dad's phone and then the TELEVISON.  I just had my first *grounded from technology* consequence from like a week of no stickers and two involvements with the principal and am trying to fix it this week.   I did ok - we read a ton and I played with stuff I forgot I had!  I did brain teasers, art projects, played outside,  helped Dad make stuff, helped Dad in the garden, cooked with Mom, hung out with the parents, played with the cat - but man, I could not wait to get on that tablet this morning!  I had missed my red sport car screensaver!  

I'll get Mom to upload some recent photos.  Thanks for still watching me if anyone is!
