School starts again on Wednesday and I am so glad. It feels like I have been grounded from homework! I will be in the third grade this year and Gage will be in kindergarten.This year I have two teachers for the first time. Mrs. Clark is my home room teacher and she teaches math, which is my favorite subject by the way. Mrs. Clark was my first grade teacher and I really liked her then. Mrs. Harris is my other teacher. I never had her before.
I played baseball on the Red Sox team. We had a pretty good year and I made the All Star team and we were pretty good, too. It won't be long and football season will begin and of course, I will be playing. My brother Gage will be playing pee wee football for the first time. He is a little guy but he is real fast and real MEAN. He'll need to be to get away from the bigger kids.
Our house got broken into when we were in ElDorado at Gage's regional baseball tournament. We are lucky that our mom was spending the night at her friend's house. They took our Wii, our big screen TV, some cash, some jewelry, and one of our daddy's guns. That barrell is clogged up...I sure hope they don't try and shoot it or somebody is gonna get hurt! Can you believe they even stole our season passes to Wild River Country? That's just plain wrong!
They tired to kick in the door but they couldn't so they got a cinder block and threw it through the back door. Glass was everywhere! There were tons of foot prints and finger prints all over the house and the yard. It is a good thing Daddy's grass seed didn't grow too well and it rained because the foot prints in the yard showed up real good. You should see the foot print on our back door. You can even tell what kind of shoe it is! I sure hope the polic catch these guys. We got an alarm now so next time....someone is going to the slammer!
But not too long after that we went on Vacation. I worked at the market with Granna to earn some money for our vacation. I only got $14.00. We went to Gulf Shores, Alabama first with Mr. Tod, Ms. Casey, Spencer and Shane. Our Papaw Ray and his cousin met us there. I learned how to surf and skim board...that was so fun! We went to the go cart track and it had a lot of other neat stuff there. That picture at the top is of us playing water wars in the bumper boats. They even had sky coasting where you put on a harness and they raise you up like a hundred feet in the air, then someone pulls a string and you just drop. I did not try that! We saw tons of jelly fish while we were riding the jet ski in the bay. 
Next we headed off to Destin, Florida where we stayed two days with Braden and Logan and thier parents Ms. Michelle and Mr. Brook. We ate at Joes Crab Shack and Fudpucker's. I liked Fudpucker's the best cause it was the first time I went there. I had shrimp at Joes and it was pretty good. We ate breakfast at I-Hop. It was a great vacation!Granna got me some new golf clubs for my birthday and for working with her. In just a little while we are going to the golf course. We are waiting for Wesley to wake up so we can take him with us. It will be my last outing of the summer with Granna before school starts. I can hardly wait!
"Granna, are you ready to go yet? How about now? No?... now? FINALLY!"
