Family Tradition...

To the grandparents.... I have NEVER seen my parents do this, neither one of them

can handle anymore than red wine or Miller Light. However, you can catch a buzz if you

throw back enough of these shots of water with Dove soap!

Out on the Town

Mom and Dad had a meeting in Memphis today, so Aunt Shelli and Callie picked me up from Miss Roxanne's house! We went out to dinner when they got home. Thanks for getting me ladies!

I was all about this dipping thing, but as some of you may know, I am not allowed to use dip. Mom says that I don't need ketchup or any other dip all over my clothes. Aunt Shelli assured mom that I was not dipping, I just thought I was....

Oh really! The spinach on my face indicates differently, Callie is very concerned that I broke the rules and that her mother conspired to let that happen!

Here Craig and I are discussing something serious, I don't remember what.

I wasn't ready to leave dinner with my friends, can you tell?

Sunday Happenings

I showed Scott how to aquadoodle. This takes lots of concentration, but I becoming an expert. I think I aquadoodle for like 10 minutes in a row, all at one time, part of that time I spent sucking water out of the pen.

Then Mom and I took back her house, I think that she took it back from me. We moved my kitchen and big toys to my new playroom/ closet. Mom says I am little I don't need much space, she however, needs a little order back in her house.

I will show her, I destroyed my room!

It is rough being a baby!

Bennett's Birthday Party

Bennett had a sports party for his birthday. He had cool cupcakes, nachos and hot dogs!

I really wanted this balloon. Mom distracted me with a bunch of different size balls!

This football was my favorite. It was like a giant balloon, we bounced all over the place.

I wore my favorite sports uniform, my Colts cheerleading outfit. It was a dangerous decision walking into a party full of Titan and Memphis fans. But they went easy on me because I was so little and cute!

Mom snapped a picture of Jack in front of the cupcakes, where he patiently waited for most of the party. Happy 2nd birthday Bennett!

Everyone sang to Bennett. He was a very good sport for having an ear infection. Get it, good sport, HA!

Bennett and his mommy pose for a quick pic.

Bennett's brother Caleb likes to help me do stuff. He is very sweet, here is helping not run so fast!

I was willing to show Bennett my moves, but as show you below....I dance alone.

I dance alone...

Even though it is your birthday, I dance alone Bennett.

Campbell is 3!

I was pretty tired after Bennett's Party but I stopped by Campbell's party to wish Happy Day! I also wanted to check out her new bike. Nice huh...

Boy was I glad I did, look at this thing! I really checked it out before I got in. I was pretty brave, but I got out relatively quickly after the other kids started jumping around.

Here I am before the other kids started jumping...I was fine, then I wanted out quickly!

All partied out......

Naughty Baby

Mom was working very hard this evening, carrying clothes back and forth from the laundry room. I was busy helping move the clothes she put away from drawer to drawer, I was a huge help and mom was not frustrated at all. However, she gasped and almost peed her pants from laughter when she walked around the corner to find the scene above and below.

Mom was so impressed that I did not break the toilet paper that she let me just play with it until I did. Then the fun was over. We had to pick it all up, then mom explained that it was a waste of toilet paper to pull it from the bathroom down the hall to my room where I toilet papered my chair!

I don't think I am naughty, just creative. I thought I was being creative yesterday when I used this same amount to fill the toilet. (Mother has ordered toilet locks, because she heard once or twice from Nonnie that children can drown in a glass of what, let alone a toilet!)

Mom was more concerned that I didn't recognize this is a serious issue!

Lunch Date

Since I haven't hung out with Madi in such a long time Mom invited her to go to McDonalds with us. Her mommy went with us.

After lunch we played in the playland of course.

After playing on the lowest level we got bored and decided to branch out to explore.

I hit the slide, going up instead of down. It is my favorite.

Madi was a little more adventurous. She went all the way up to the top of the playland. This is why she is my hero.

Back on the social scene

Madi and I were feeling very artistic at play group this week.

Here Madi showed me the proper way to hold a marker to write on the art station. It takes a lot of concentration to hold ot that way.

What is this thing?

My old buddy Jack and I were not being naughty, just looks like we were.

Swimming Baby

OK here I am with my cute suit on, now what?

Swimming.... no problem. I did it tons last year.

However, it was not in a pool this size. I do not know if swim lessons are necessary this year. Maybe next year.

I was not nearly as thrilled as mom was to be swimming. I think that waiting 30 minutes to eat before does not apply to babies who have not had dinner. I was cranky...

The binky was helpful, it usually is. Mom keeps talking about me getting rid of

it, I can't imagine that happening anytime soon!

Swim Lesson Video

Daddy will be swimming with me tomorrow because

I was more interested in getting out of the water to

hang then swimming.

She works hard for her money...

Here I am following in the footsteps of my ancestors, or just mom and pop.

I work hard for my money, so hard for my money. Even if it is plastic and no good.

Run for their Money

It was very nice outside Sunday. I decide to go for an adventure in my yard. Poppy and Daddy trying to keep up, but I gave them a run for their money. I was headed for the road and to explore where Minnie and Lucy go all day!
