Having A Blog

For those of you that have a blog, it's a lot of fun. You can keep on changing your background, add pictures, put cool things on your blog and a lot more. But isn't it hard? You have to keep on posting so people can keep commenting! And they will be interested on actually reading it! Plus you have to make it look good for everyone else to see, having a blog is a lot of work. But it is a lot of fun!

A New School Year: Coming Soon!


The school year is coming soon! It's already the end of July and we only have August left! Well, August we have to start getting school supplies ready, so it doesn't really count as summer vacation. Does it? Vivien is going to go to Kindergarten! Ella is going into 2nd grade, Lillian is going into 4th and I am going to middle school (6th)! Oh yeah, it's Vivien's 5th b-day today, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIVIE!

Cute Cavalier Cocker Spaniel Puppies!


My mom took us to the Macomb Mall today so we could see some puppies. We looked at some of them and they were all so cute and cuddly! The one that caught my eye was a {TINY} Cavalier Cocker Spaniel! She was so small! {no longer than my foot!} While I was playing with her, we named her Harley! I wish we had another puppy! Roscoe is not one anymore!

Ice Skating Champ


In Canada, I took private lessons with one of my mom's friends who was the instructor. Ice skating was a lot of fun! I learned a lot from her! I am very excited to show off some of my moves when I go back to ice skating in a few months.

My New Nickname

It's me again! I have a new nickname! Drum roll please..........................

SONNY!

The reason is that I *LOVE* these throat and stomachache lozenges. I have like 4 a day! I think they are very calming..... They are called Sunny Days. Also we were listing nicknames that me and my sisters could have, for Lillian: Lil, Lilly, Lulu, stuff like that. So my mom started to call me Sonny (Madison ~ Madison) and I think it fits. The tricky thing is, is that my sisters always calls me Bubba! (Lillian couldn't pronounce my name when she was 1 or 2...) Another thing when they call me Bubba is that I know of at least 4 boys that are called that by their moms! No other girls! :-(

Swimming and More Swimming!

I have been swimming everyday from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. (except Saturday's which is 7:30 to 9:30 in the morning and no practice Sunday's ~ ) Sometimes I even go twice a day and end up going in the morning and at 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m! Lots of numbers! (I know!!) I am practicing really hard everyday so I can go to States at the end of July! I have a meet coming up on the 24th and the 25th! I am really excited but also quite nervous...... Life is going good, I'm spending time with my friends that I haven't seen in over 3 months. (If you don't know the story about my family and I leaving the country, go to Thurber Gang ~ It's connected to our blog!) And I am swimming tons! (As you might have noticed.)

I have to go! But keep on commenting!
