Play Ball!

Summer is practically here, and all I want to do is play outside or watch sports! Luckily, my parents feel the same way. Mommy managed to get her hands on tickets to the FC Dallas game in the school district suite! I had a blast mingling with everyone. I loved watching the game from up high, and I really enjoyed watching the frisbee dogs at half-time. I even had an excellent view during snack time. I could get used to this! Daddy bought me a new FC Dallas soccer ball at the game, and I was ready to play when we got home. Intensity is the name of the game! We have also been going to the Wakeland baseball playoff games. They are still going strong, and I'm pretty well known at the games now. All the moms try to talk to me, but ladies, I'm trying to watch the game! Saturday was my second day of soccer, and I had so much fun. I loved doing all the drills with Daddy and Coach Kat. I'm ready to play with the big boys! Other than that, I'm just practicing counting to ten, and I can even say the alphabet with a little bit of help. I am just so excited that it is almost summer, and I'm looking forward to my mini-vacation to San Antonio next weekend. I'm sure there will be lots of fun adventures to report! In the meantime, I'll continue cuddling with Mommy to remind her that I am "soooooooo sweet." (Don't worry, I tell her that I am ALL the time!!)

Soccer, Cupcakes and SnoCones

So I've decided that the month of May is better than Christmas! I have never had so many celebrations. We started off Mommy's birthday with breakfast in bed. I loved eating off my new Mickey Mouse plate and loved being between my parents! Once we got up and going, we went off to SoccerTots for the first time. I wasn't so sure about the singing and games, but I loved the obstacle course and kicking the soccer ball! I jumped through hoops, crawled through a tunnel, and scored lots of goals. I even got a soccer stamp with all my classmates! I'm looking forward to many soccer Saturdays ahead. In the afternoon I went to play with Uncle Troy and Campbell while my parents went to a movie. Hanging out was so much fun! After cooking steaks for dinner, we got to eat some really awesome cupcakes. I went a little sugar crazy, but it made Mommy laugh. I even started counting to ten by myself over and over! She and Daddy were so proud. Today was Aunt Jenny's birthday, so we went out to dinner with everyone. The best part was getting snocones afterward. It was my first time to visit the SnoCone lady, and my very first snocone. I LOVED Mommy's bubble gum one.....yummy!!! I sure could get used to celebrating every day!

Surprise.....and Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day everyone!! What a busy and fun few weeks I've had! This past weekend, we went down to Nederland to celebrate Mother's Day with my grandmas and great-grandmas. Saturday was full of excitement because we threw a surprise 30th birthday party for Mommy. Daddy and Nannie plotted the whole thing, and Nana, PawPaw, Clint and Lori hosted it. So many people were there, and boy was mommy surprised. We had so much fun! We ate and swam all day long, and I loved playing with my cousins. Peyton and I had some serious baseball practice, and I couldn't get enough of the fort and all those sports. I even got to ride around in Nana's golf cart. We did get a chance to go to dinner, so I got to see my Uncle Daniel, too. It was sad to leave, but I know I'll see everyone again very soon. At home, the weather has been nice, so we've been doing lots of yard work and outdoor play. I love doing some gardening, and I like distributing the different tools. Digging in the dirt is great! Recently I discovered the stone wall on the side of the house. "Walkie, walkie, walk the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllll" is what I like to say while I go back and forth. Don't worry, I hold mommy's hand the whole time! Tonight Daddy took me to get my hair cut, and the lady gave me a new do. Aren't I such a big boy? One more month until summer, and I can't wait!!!

All Grown Up....and HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANNIE!

*HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANNIE!
I hope you have a wonderful day, and I can't wait to see you soon. I love you!*

Ok, so I'm not really all grown up, but lately it's been fun to pretend. It's pretty funny walking around the house in daddy's shoes, and I like pretending to listen to some tunes through mommy's earbuds!
The past two weeks have predominately been filled with playing outside. The weather has been so beautiful that I've been too busy to update all my adventures. I've been working very hard on my "step and throw" and "step and swing." We go to a lot of baseball games, so I watch those boys very closely. At school the directors have been coming outside with my class to watch me kick and shoot. Everyone is impressed with my skills, and I LOVE the attention!! I do have to confess that I've been pushing some boundaries at home and school lately. Mom and Dad are pretty strict on me, so we have the time-out system down pretty well. I've finally realized that it saves me a lot of time to just put myself into time out rather than waiting for them to come get me. That won me all sorts of brownie ppoints when I did it at school! I also think it is hysterical to blame stuff on Rocco. Anytime something crazy happens, I make sure everyone knows "Rocco did it!" If I didn't laugh so hard, people might actually believe me.
Other than that, I've just been living life. I constantly ask Mommy to play "more Cookie Song" and "more Monkey Tree song." I have not idea what they are really called, but I love to listen to them in the car or have people sing them to me! I also discovered the ice cream cone, this week! I've known for a while that ice cream was awesome, but putting it into a cone was the best. Yummy!!!

Tonight I got to go to the Allen Americans hockey game. It was a first for me, and I really enjoyed it. Those fans were crazy, but fun. I'll update with anything fun very soon!

Pirates!

School was very low key this week, but everything went well. I did lots of fun artwork, and I was on my best behavior. At home I've been pushing the boundaries a bit, and I've been spending some quality time in the time out corner. My tantrums aren't quite working out like I'd hoped! Friday night we went out to dinner, and we sat outside because it was so beautiful. My parents were not very understanding that I wanted to run around and play instead of sitting in my seat, and Daddy took me out to sit in the car because I was being so bad. I eventually decided to behave, so not only did I get a yummy meal...I got to ride the horse, too! On Saturday, Mommy had to work, but Daddy took me to a birthday party. I got to wear an awesome pirate hat and had a blast playing with all the different toys at the party. The best was the party favor I got to bring home: an inflatable sword!! I swashbuckled my way all around the house. So much fun! The rest of my Saturday was spent outside, and Daddy even let me indulge in a little ice cream since I didn't eat much cake at the party. I also played a little Guitar Hero with Mommy and stole Daddy's hat! This morning when I woke up it was cold and rainy. What happened to that awesome spring weather? The cold doesn't stop me though, so I bundled up and went out to play. I can't let a day go by without playing ball in the backyard!

OUTSIDE!

Spring is here, I'm feeling better, and outside is where I want to be. Luckily my family loves to be outside too, so we spend every evening out back playing until dark! We play soccer, basketball, golf, baseball and football, and I love every minute of it. My favorite toy right now is my Mickey Mouse Clubhouse ball because it works for any sport I want....and it has Mickey on it! I recently had my first encouter with Play-doh, and it is awesome. I like for Mommy to make it into two things...a ball (of course) and a bunny. It took her a while, but I think her bunny rabbits are finally acceptable. Friday night was beautiful, so we went to watch the Wolverines play baseball. It didn't turn out so well for them, but we had fun anyway. I flirted with all the girls in the stands, hollered at the umpire, and walked all over the park with Dad. I sure hope there are more baseball nights to come! Saturday Mom went to Austin to watch her soccer students win the state title, and I stayed home with Dad. We went all over town running errands, and then we went to the park. The most awesome part of the day was that I saw some real ducks, and I even got to feed them! Today was Rocco's 7th birthday, so we decided to go out after dinner to celebrate. We went to downtown Frisco, sat out on the benches and ate some yummy custard. Rocco got his own "poochy cone", and I shared with Mom and Dad. Once it was gone, I immediately requested "More birthday!", but my parents told me I would have to be patient until the next celebration. I'm looking forward to another fun week at school, and hours of fun outside!

HAPPY EASTER!

Long time, no blog! Last Wednesday, I came down with 103 fever at school. It ended up lasting for six very long days and nights. What started as a virus turned into two ear infections and a very bad staph infection on my arms. After lots of shots, medicine and love, I finally started feeling better at the end of this week. It was so bad that Nannie had to fly up to take care of me so my parents could go back to work. Luckily I got better by this weekend, and boy did I have fun! I'm so glad Nannie and PaPa were here to visit me for the holiday. Mommy and Nannie helped me dye some Easter eggs. I wrote on every single one before dropping them into the different colors. They sure were pretty! Daddy helped me put sports stickers on them once they were dry. When I woke up this morning, the Easter bunny had come for a visit. There were eggs hidden everywhere, both inside and out. My basket had candy, socks, a chocolate bunny, bubbles, a Magna-doodle and a new Elmo movie! Did I mention I got some new baseball shades, too? The girls came over for a fun Easter lunch and lots of play in the backyard. Before the egg hunt, we chatted with the boys, Nana & PawPaw online! We all hunted Easter eggs, and some of them had candy inside! I especially liked the eggs that looked like baseballs, footballs, soccer balls and basketballs. I love anything I can kick, throw or shoot! After finding all the eggs, we compared our loot and chowed down. At one point, we attempted to take a group photo, but that didn't turn out so well. While everyone else was distracted, I helped myself to Campbell's chocolate bunny! It's a shame Mommy caught me before I could get it open. It was a really fun holiday, and I glad I got to spend it with so many people that I love. Hopefully the next week we'll get back to our usual routine!
