Two weeks into sixth grade, I got accepted into the Middle School honors program for Science and History, both of which I love. A week after that, I tried out for the Jr. Hockey Team in our area and got on the team! I am a defenseman and I like playing with all the other guys and going on weekend road trips and doing all sorts of fun stuff together. The best thing we've done so far was to meet some real NHL hockey players. They came and autographed all our stuff and then they played a scrimmage game with us. It was great.
Also, as an early 12th birthday present, Mom and Dad finally bought me a horse. Actually, its a leased horse, but its so cool to finally have my 'own' horse to ride and take care of. It's a solid palomino with a pure white mane and tail. Her name is Trixy. Trixy is sort of hard to ride, but I'm getting to know her better and I think she's starting to like me. I'm really busy, but I love all the activities--especially since some of my brothers and sisters do a lot of them with me. Ethan plays hockey on the same team as me. Wil and Autumn take riding lessons with me. Speaking of brothers and sisters, I'm going to get another one.
I had a nightmare one night (I can't remember what it was though) and I was going downstairs to tell my parents (who are always awake until midnight). I accidentally overheard my mom say something about the doctor. Then my dad said something about a baby and my mom said yes. I asked my dad about it the next day and he said that mom is going to have another baby. He told me not to tell any of my siblings, so I haven't yet. I wonder if the new baby will be a boy or a girl. I really don't care either way as long as the baby is well-behaved.
