November 2006

Hi Everyone,

I am sorry that I have not been able to blog lately but I have been very busy with 2nd grade and all the things I am involved with.

I just finished my football season. It was flag football and we had a good season, I was a lineman and once I got to be the quarterback. I liked playing, next year I am going to play tackle football. Our coach gave us a signed picture of Jeff Zgonia from the Dolphins he is a tackle. They played together at Purdue, my coach use to play pro-football too, but I can't tell you who he is so "the freaks can't find us." That is what my Mom says. Freaks are bad people! My Mom and Dad met a new friend his name is Esera Tuaolo, he and his partner were on the same cruise with my Mom and Dad. Esera also played professional football and I am going to meet him, Mitchell and their kids. He was on TV last week with his partner and their children. I can't wait to meet them and have new friends. We may go on a cruise with all of them this summer. I want to do that!

Thursday my friend Alex was on Grey's Anatomy! I was so excited to see her on the show, she was on the whole show. She was on two days in a row. They never do that! I am going to go see her next year and we are going to go to Disney Land. I am so excited. I want to go now! Alex is my good friend, I wish she didn't live so far away but now I have somewhere nice to visit.

This year I have also been taking Tap and Hip Hop class, we are already getting ready for a recital and that won't be until school is over. We are learning a lot of dances for the recital. I hope all my friends and family will come, or maybe not that is a lot of people. I may get nervous.

I had a Tae Kwon Do competition this past week. I am a Red/Black belt now and I got 2 third places in form and board breaking. I use to always get first but it is hard now that I am a higher belt.

For Halloween I was Darth Vadar, and my sister was Sleeping beauty, I don't have pictures yet because my Mom and Dad were on a cruise for Halloween, but when we get them I will post them. I went trick or treating with my friend Zack, that was a lot of fun. We always play together and we were on the same football team. We use to do hockey together but this year Zack is doing basketball instead.

I start hockey again tomorrow. Since football is done I needed to do something else with my time. I like hockey, it is fun. It isn't real hockey it is just learning about skating and things.

One last thing my Grandpa found out they are moving the Intrepid. That is the Aircraft Carrier we went on the train to see last summer. They are going to close it for a year and take it to NJ. I want to see it when it is all done.

Well that is about it for now. Sorry I haven't been blogging lately I will try to do it more.

July

I have been so busy this summer that I have not found time to write.

I have already been in 3 camps. Soccer, Bulls Basketball and Sailing. This week I am in regular basketball camp in the morning and flag football in the afternoon.

I am still doing Tae Kwon Do. I have gotten my red belt now.

My Mom is starting her own business. She is doing a lot of work but it makes her crabby at times. She said she has so much to do before September.

I went to see Wicked last week. It was really good I liked it. There were a lot of people at the theater. I am also going to see my friend Alex. She is in Seussical the Musical I am not sure what day I am going yet because my Mom is so busy we may have to go on the weekend.

I have not seen Alex since she was here for the circus so I want to go see her soon! I have seen Chrisanne she comes for dinner after work.

Gus is doing good, he bites a lot because he is a puppy but he is going to go to training tomorrow. Maybe he will be better after he goes to class.

Well today is my Grandpa's birthday he is 73. I am going to go to his house for ice cream cake. I don't like real cake so I bet they got ice cream cake for me.

I will try to write more soon.

Mid-May

Lots of stuff has happened during the last month. First I probably will be only updating monthly because I am so busy.

The last US Survivor of the Titanic died this month. Lillian Gertrud Asplund was 5 when the Titanic sank. Her father and 3 brothers died during the sinking of the Titanic and her mother died on the 52 anniversary of the sinking. One of the brothers that died was her twin. They were 3rd class passengers. There are only 2 survivors left they are both in England. One is Barbara Joyce West she was 10 months old when it sank and the other was Elizabeth Gladys Dean she was 9 weeks old when it sank. She was the youngest survivor.

We went to Michigan again to see Steve and Bonnie. Janee' had a fitting for her prom dress but we are not allowed to see it until prom. We took Gus and we flew kites and had fun!

I got my Brown belt and my Mom got her Orange belt at the end of April. Only 3 more belts until black but I have to test Red Black 3 times so it is really 6 more tests. My teacher is going to Korea this summer to get his 10th degree black belt. That is as high as you can go. He does his testing in front of the Tae Kwon Do National Federation. It is very hard, that is why he is a GRAND Master not just a Master.

This is a side kick to break the board.

My Dad got a new used car, my sister got a new used car. My Mom is buying lots of used cars, she says they are a better deal and we have to save money. But my Dad's car is really cool it is a sports car. This is a picture of it, it looks just like this car.

This summer I am doing a lot of sports camps. I have golf once a week all summer, 2 weeks of soccer, 2 weeks of basketball and one of those weeks is Bulls basketball camp. A week of Chicago bears football camp, a week of baseball camp, a week of sailing and a week of dance camp. I may add one more week of sailing in August if I don't have anything else going on,and one more week of dance camp but it depends if I like it or not.

Gus is doing well, he will be 14 weeks today, or 3 1/2 months. He bites a lot because he is a puppy. My little sister never leaves him alone, so she gets lots of bites. I like him to sleep with me but his favorite place is still with my Dad.

My Mom had to add a special thing if you post a comment because I have been getting a lot of junk comments. Spam I guess but I don't understand. They are not my friends.

April Showers

Sorry it has been awhile since I have written. I have been busy and my Mom has been on vacation. She went on a cruise with Amy and then she went with my Dad and older sister to Mexico. I didn't get to go anywhere. She said she is going to take me on a vacation soon.

My Pappy Mike came to stay with us one week that my Mom was gone. He took me to all my things and he painted my closet and did things around the house. Then Dorothy came to stay with us during spring break. She lives in Columbus, Ohio I may go see her this summer.

I took baseball class during spring break at my school. I liked it. I hit the ball during practice and a game. I want to play on a baseball team this summer. Right now soccer has started we have had 2 games. We tied one and we lost one. In a few weeks Mom is going to sign me up for flag football. That will start in August right before school starts. I have stopped hockey for a little while until soccer is over.

My older sister plays water polo, she gets hurt all the time the girls are mean when they play. She usually gets a goal in most of the games but right now her shoulder hurts a lot. Her season is over this week so I will be going to a lot of games this week.

This Saturday I am going to be testing for my brown belt. I will have to do my form, a combination kick and my self defense move. Once I get my brown belt I only have 2 more belts until I get my black belt. I may have my black belt before the end of the year.

The most exciting news I have, is for Easter I got a new puppy. His name is Gus and he is a puggle that is half beagle, half pug. Here is a picture of him protecting my Dad while he sleeps.

This weekend my Mom and Dad went to Dallas for a day to see one of their friends. Grandpa came to stay with us. Dallas is in Texas. I sang in church today, it was my last time for awhile. Church choir stops during the summer.

I have to finish my homework now. Saturday was earth day and I have to do things about recycling.

I will write more next weekend after I do my test.

Alex's Show

Last night I went to see Alex's show with my Mom and my Grandma.

I got my haircut and a new suit for the show, because I think you should look nice for the theater and for your friends. (My friend Amy says that is because I am a renaissance man, I don't know what that means, but Mom says she is right.) My friend Alex thought my suit was blue but it was black with a small strip. My Grandma drove us to the theater and she got lost, but we still got there on time.

Mom told me it was kind of a circus and Alex was also going to sing. When the show started guys came down on ropes right behind me and everyone was kind of running around on stage doing silly things. Alex kept trying to start the show but all the circus people kept interrupting her.

There was a crazy Karate guy, but I don't think that was real karate it was not like my Tae Kwon Do. He jumped through real knifes and set something on fire and jump through them again. There was a girl in blue who was an acrobat. She was very bendy. She worked with a guy who lifted her and threw her in the air.

In between all the circus acts Alex would sing a song and sometimes when she was singing they would perform. Alex sang a cool song with a guy who did beat box and Russ played the piano.

After the show I got to meet Mitchell, he was the funniest guy in the show and a good dancer and he did some circus tricks also. Mitchell says he reads my blog, Hi Mitchell! You were good last night!

Mitchell introduced me to the jugglers and I got their autographs and I got autographs of some of the other people too. I also got to meet Julie she was a worker in the show but really she does circus stuff too. She gave me a shirt, Alex told me she owns the circus in real life. It was really big on me so I used it for a night shirt.

After the show Alex came out and talked to me for awhile and then we went home. Everyone should go see the show Alex is the best!

My Weekend

This weekend I had a lot to do.

On Friday I went to my church for free play for 2 hours. When I was at church my Mom took her first Tae Kwon Do test to get her yellow belt. She is way behind me. I went to class with her on Presidents day. I was the senior belt in the class. It was just my Mom and me we had a good time with Master Kim.

On Saturday I took my test for my blue belt.

I had to do my purple belt form and break a board. I broke my board with a fly jump side kick.
Image hosting by Photobucket

This is a picture of someone doing that kick. After Tae Kwon Do I went to my hockey class. Then we went to see a house that Mom and Dad might buy it is really big!

Sunday I had a birthday party to go to. It was like Dave and Busters with lots of video games but it was different. We were there early so we were the only kids in the whole place. We got to play for a long time on the games. My favorite game was, Star Wars. I got to pretend I was on a speeder bike and I was a Jedi fighter. After we played games we had hot dogs and cake and then it was time to go home.

We stopped at my Grandparents house and I helped my Mom put something together and then I played with my train for awhile.

We may be moving to a new house so we have been packing and cleaning for the last few days. I put almost all of my toys in boxes because I want to have a clean room so the house will sell.

Two weekends ago Janee' was suppose to jump in the water but it was to cold for her to do it. She is suppose to do it again in March. That same weekend my sister and I got to go to the Enchanted Castle. We met Paul and Boyd there, they brought their nephews and we had fun playing games and indoor miniature golf.

My Mom's birthday is Saturday. She is going to see Alex's show and then next week I get to see it. I am really excited Mom said Alex flies through the air on ropes. That will be funny.

I am tired now. My friend came over and we played today, then I had to do my homework. That is why I am going to bed so late.

More later Cole

Happy Valentines Day

Today is Valentines Day we had a party at school. This is a short week for us so I don't have a lot of homework so I can write.

This past weekend. My Mom and my sisters and I went to visit Bonnie, Stephen and Kirk. We stayed at Stephen and Kirk's house and had a good time. We were only there for a few days. We took the train to get there and that was fun. It was a 4 hour ride not long like when I went to New York with my Grandpa.

Friday night we got to Michigan and Bonnie picked us up at the train. We didn't do much Friday night because we were going to have a big day on Saturday.

Saturday morning I helped Stephen cook breakfast. We made egg mcmuffins. After breakfast we got ready to go to the Henry Ford Museum.

I had a lot of fun at the museum there were planes, cars and trains all inside. This is a picture of the car that JFK got shot in.

My friend Chrisanne would really like this museum like I did. She is really in to history. Rosa Parks bus was there and so was the limo that Reagan and Ford dove in to when they got shot at. They use to be presidents too!
Here is a truck trailer with my name on it!

There is a lot more at this museum and a whole outdoor part that I didn't get to see because it was cold. We are going to go back again in the summer.

After the museum we went home for lunch and then we went to Bonnies house. Payton and I went to Bonnies house while Janee', Stephen and Mom went to look for a prom dress for Janee'. That would be boring but the picture of her dress was pretty!

This is the cake I decorated for my Mom.

Kirk made us all spaghetti for dinner it was good!

Sunday morning Kirk made us pancakes from scratch and bacon. I ate a lot of bacon! Then we had to pack and take the train home. It was a short visit. Next time maybe we can go longer.

Mom said my friend Alex is going to have a show in Chicago and we are going to go see it. Mom said it is called a circus but not with animals.

That is all for now this weekend Janee' jumps in the water for the special olympics! I am going to watch her freeze and not go to hockey.

My day off

Yesterday I did not have school so when Mom said we were having company I wanted to plan the night. We were having our friend Chrisanne come over, for dinner after she got off work. My Mom told me that Chrisanne was having a birthday this week and since Alex is in California I wanted to have kind of a birthday party for her.

Mom went to work for awhile and then she came home and got me. We went to look at some houses because we want a bigger house. That got to be boring. But then we went to Deerfields to get a cake. Alex told Mom that Chrisanne likes chocolate and mousse so I found a cake that had both. It kind of looked like this but it had more chocolate shavings on top and they wrote Happy Birthday Chrisanne in red on a piece of chocolate. Image hosting by Photobucket

Chrisanne sent a list to Mom on the foods she liked. Mom said she was just being silly but we planned a dinner around what she wrote.

We went to the store to get some iced tea, shrimp and red potatoes to boil. We took the food home and Then I went to Tae Kwon Do practice. When I got home from practice Chrisanne was waiting for us.

We had shrimp to start, then for dinner we had, chicken from Popeyes, green beans from Boston Market, and boiled red potatoes and dessert. My Mom says she doesn't cook she buys. (she did boil the potatoes) After dinner we put candles on the cake and took it out to Chrisanne. We all sang happy birthday.

My little sister had Chrisanne read to her and after dinner we watched the penguins Whacked-Out Holiday DVD. Chrisanne said she liked the penguins from Madagascar and didn't know they had another movie.

Chrisanne goes to work early so she left around 8 last night. We all had fun!

Chrisanne said I should write like a story so I am trying to do that.


Last thing for tonight and probably this week!! I told Janee' I would tell people about her.

My Sister Janee' is going to jump in the lake next month she is doing the Polar Bear Plunge. She and her friend Katie are raising money for special olympics! Please donate money for their team! She is going to be really cold! I am going to go watch, I will take pictures and put them up. It will be February 18. Janee' says thanks! I think she is crazy!

2006

Hi Everyone!

My Mom told me my friend Alex had asked about my blogging so I thought I better write something. I have been very busy now that I am in 1st grade. I have homework and I can't stay up as late because I have to get up early for school.

I had a good Christmas, Santa brought me lots of toys! Steven and Bonnie got me a Lionel Set I really like it and I asked Santa for more parts and engines. Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Santa called me at my Grandparents house because I forgot to send him a letter this year. I also got Star Wars things and lots of other toys.

On Christmas day, my Grandparents came over and we opened presents then for dinner we went to Freddy and Lances house. We had lots of fun and I played with Steve and I built airplanes with Bill. Before we left Freddy played piano and Amy sang Christmas songs. I was the conductor. My sister tried to play piano but she was only pretending, I was really conducting. Image hosted by Photobucket.com

This year I started taking hockey skating lessons. I go to hockey with my friend Zack.

I am also now a purple belt. Image hosted by Photobucket.com My Mom takes Tae Kwon Do too. But she is just a white belt. I am much better then her!

I have a new room now, it is the biggest bedroom. My older sisters have their own room and my younger sister and I share a room. We got bunk beds this week and some new storage for all our toys. Our room isn't all together yet so Mom says we have to do it this weekend. Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I have to get ready for school now. I will try to write at least once a week from now on. I have a spelling test today and I need to practice once more time.
