I spent the past week in Nederland visiting my grandmas, and boy did we have a good time! When I got there on Monday, Nannie let me open my birthday present early. It was a Lightning McQueen Scooter with matching helmet, gloves, pads and bell. It didn't take me long before I was cruising down the driveway and all through the house.
On Tuesday, Nannie set up a slip and slide, bought me a soccer ball cookie cake and invited everyone over for an early celebration. I loved getting to see everyone, and I loved playing around in the water.
I spent some time with my great-grandparents, got to meet my new cousin Levi, and played trains, puzzles, and badmiton with Uncle Lawrence!
On Thursday, I went with Mommy, Nana, Liz, John, Aunt Jenny and the girls to the San Jacinto monument and Battleship Texas. Poppy met us out there, and we went all the way to the top of the tower! I loved looking out the windows.
It was very hot at the battleship, but I enjoyed seeing how big everything was. I pretended to shoot the guns, walked around the ship, and played around on the deck. I sunk your battleship!!
After seeing the tourist sites, we ate at the Monument Inn where we watched all the huge boats go by. We thought that was pretty awesome! On the way home, Nana "drove" us over the water on the ferry. It was a fun and exhausting day! On Saturday night, we went to Allie's wedding. My cousins and I tore up the dance floor at the reception. I boogied the night away, and even got a dance with the beautiful bride!
Now only a few more days until my 3rd birthday!!!!
Instead of going into my classroom for drop-off, Mommy leaves me to eat breakfast in the cafeteria. It was hard for Mommy to leave me in there, but I like being a big boy! Friday was my first ever Show and Tell at school. The letter was "W" and the theme was "school', so I brought a whiteboard and presented it to the whole class. 
On Wednesday I started my new Super Aquatots swimming class, and my new teacher, Ms. Elizabeth, is wonderful. There are only two of us in my class right now, so I get lots of one-on-one instruction. I love to swim! Saturday was one of the most awesome days ever. I had my very first soccer practice, and I made sure to wear ALL of my gear. My new cleats and shin guards are too cool.
My friends from school are on my team, and Daddy is our coach. It doesn't get much better than that! We are the Dynamos, and we will be the red team. I've already requested to have jersey #1, just like my Dad. Practice was a little crazy, but it will be so much fun. Gooooo Dynamos! 
Yesterday afternoon I suited up and headed out to Kennedy's birthday party at the pool. I jumped in a million times, went down the big slide and swam around a bit without any floaties. 
It is so fun seeing my friends outside of class, and I have another party today as well. I think this year is going to be the best!
Goodbye 12032 Del Rio Drive.....
.......hello 1441 Cedar Ridge Dr! 
I am patiently waiting to become a Prosper Eagle =) 
In the meantime, we are homeless! Aunt Jenny and Uncle Troy were kind enough to let us move into their guest room, so I get to see my cousins every single day. It has been an adjustment, but I know we are going to have tons of fun. Tomorrow is the first day of school in my new room. I am skipping a room and going up to Suite 450, and I get to start computer classes. It will be interesting to have new teachers since Ms. Julie and Ms. Sarah have been with me for so long. I'm also skipping a level in swimming, and I'm looking forward to meeting my new instructor later this week. Only a few weeks until soccer season kicks off, and I already found out that my soccer team will be red and black...woohoo! It has been an awesome summer full of vacations, visitors, and craziness but it's time for another school year to begin!
Mom made me some Mickey Mouse pancakes for breakfast, and then Nannie, Mommy and I went to the mall to see Winnie the Pooh. We had a brief evacuation because something happened to the fire alarm, but once I finally got to watch the movie, I really liked it. I got to open a few more presents that evening, including some cars, an Elmo backpack I REALLY wanted, a Thomas bathing suit and a cool Cars umbrella. I love getting new stuff!
On Saturday morning, I had an awesome Thomas the Train birthday party out at the splash park. Lots of my school friends came, as well as the girls and a few other kids. We played on the playground, splashed at the spray park, ate Thomas cake, and I opened lots of presents. It was so much fun! 
Monday I went for my three year old checkup and got an A+ across the board. I was 29 lbs (25%-50%) and 3 ft tall (25%). Along with turning three, there is a lot more change on the way. My parents sold our house, so we are packing up. I am so excited that we are building a new house, but I know I will have to be patient. We may even be living with Aunt Jenny, Uncle Troy and the girls while it is being built. Can you imagine the adventures we will have? There should be some exciting blogs to come throughout the next year!
Aunt Jenny and Uncle Troy were house-sitting for friends, so we took some time to enjoy the pool. We took turns on the diving board and swam around all weekend long. 
On Sunday we went to the RoughRiders game and sat out on the berm. We waited for home run balls, played a little on our own, sang "Take me out to the ballgame," and ended the night watching an awesome fireworks show. There is never a dull moment when we are all together!
On Monday, we played around all day. We got a game of baseball going at the park, played on the playground, had a massive dance party as well as several performances. The weekend ended with fireworks watching in my front yard. 
What an awesome way to celebrate!
