Party Time

Fall is here, and it is party time! Last week we celebrated the end of soccer season with a party at the practice field. We were spoiled to pizza, juice boxes and playground time every week after practice, but our parents added cookies, fruit, and cake to the celebration. I helped set up and was so proud when Daddy presented me with my very first trophy. I can't wait for next season!!

Friday night we attended the fall festival at my school. I was so excited to wear my Woody costume!!

I even ran across my good friend Gavin who was dressed up as Buzz Lightyear. I dominated all the games and got tons of candy. I showed up all the older kids by winning the prizes on the first try.I got my face painted and even enjoyed some cotton candy. My friends and I had a blast being dressed up and hanging out together way past our bedtime. Jack and I had fun trading hats for a while, and I had to visit with my princesses of course! Halloween is going to be a blast.

Saturday my parents took me out to a pumpkin patch. I played games, jumped in the bounce house and even went in the haystack maze. I went in search of the best pumpkin ever. These little ones didn't cut it, but they were fun to see. These were two of the most gigantic pumpkins I had ever seen! Mom wouldn't let me buy either one though. I eventually asked if I could have a really cool gourd, so Daddy bought it for me. In other exciting news, Mommy brought a guitar home for me! One of her friends was nice enough to let me use it, and I have been playing it non-stop. I play wake-up songs, night night songs, even shower songs! I love my music!! Sunday night Mommy and Daddy went to Game 4 of the World Series between the Texas Rangers and the St. Louis Cardinals. I waved to them on TV, and they brought me some awesome souveniers. Yesterday was Daddy's birthday and we both decided to stay home and celebrate all day. We had lunch out together and shared my first milkshake. It was delicious! We went mudding in his truck and even went fishing. I caught this fish all by myself, and several more too. I love the fall, and I love my Daddy!

A Fun-Filled Start to Fall

It's hard to believe this is my 200th post! I have had so many adventures the past three years, and there is no slowing down now. A few weeks ago, I went to the movies with my good friends Kennedy and Hailey. We loved hanging out together outside of school and soccer. Mommy had to remind me that it's not polite to kiss on girls...especially during the movie! I can't help that I love the ladies. Wakeland football has started, so we made a trip out to a game recently. Eventually lots of our friends showed up, and I even went down and met Wally the Wolverine. I screamed as loud as I could "Let's go BLUE!" For some reason, everyone thought that was too funny.I had a very successful trip to the dentist, and I got to pick out a brand new toothbrush. I've been practicing my swish and spit, and I love that I can use big boy toothpaste now! Soccer is still going strong and is better than ever. Last weekend, I scored a goal just as the game came to an end. It felt great! Today, Daddy was so proud of me because I was very focused and aggressive. At one point, I stole the ball, dribbled all the way down the field and kicked it in the goal. Soccer is so much fun! Last weekend, Aunt Elizabeth, Uncle Johnny and Nana were all in town. We danced the night away to some George Strait in the kitchen. Yeehaw! We also went out to the state fair, and I had a blast. I did everything you're supposed to do at the fair. I had a delicious Fletcher's corny dog, as well as funnel cake, cotton candy, and ice cream. I went with my parents, Nana and Kaly up in the ferris wheel. It was so high!! I got to see Big Tex, but he didn't say anything to us. I fed lots of animals at the petting zoo, and I even got to see some zebras. I learned all about farming and practiced harvesting fruit and eggs. They even gave me money to buy a snack when I turned in all my crops. Too cool! The auto show was one of my favorite things we did at the fair. I drove every car I could climb into, including a pace car and real race car. Vroom, vroom! I even managed to find a Heisman trophy, and I had to strike a pose. We wrapped up the trip by winning a ball on the Midway and riding plenty of rides! I'm so glad I got to experience the fair with my cousins.With cooler weather coming soon, there should be plenty more adventures on the way!

In Full Swing

The school year and soccer season are in full swing, and I have been very busy. We have soccer practice on Tuesdays, swimming on Wednesdays, and soccer games on Saturdays. The past two weeks in soccer we have played much older and bigger teams, but I have played my heart out. I love kicking the ball, and I am not afraid to push my way through the crowd. I haven't scored a goal yet, but I know my day will come. I love playing and I especially love having my dad as my coach! He makes sure we all have a fun time. I am also very excited that my new house is really taking shape. We go out several times a week to check the progress, and it is moving right along. I love walking into my new room, and I've already decided that when I start getting trophies, they will go in my window! For now, I am most excited about having an upstairs. I was thrilled when I got to go up the staircase to my new playroom! I don't have any pictures, but Daddy and I went to Nederland for a short visit. I had a wonderful time seeing all my relatives. I went swimming with the boys, watched Ryan's baseball game (and cheered REALLY loud), played golf with Nannie at MaMa and PaPa's, and played some lacrosse with Uncle Daniel. I can't wait to go back again very soon!

What a Weekend!

I almost had more fun than I could handle this weekend. Friday afternoon, Nannie surprised me by picking me up early from school. We had a fun afternoon before heading out for dinner and a quick visit to the lot. It's really starting to look like a house, and we almost have a roof! Saturday was a huge day for me. We started the morning off with my first official soccer game!! Daddy got us together for some stretching and warm-ups. We were ready to go! The other team was older and more experienced than us, but we still did a really great job. I had so much fun, but boy was it tiring running up and down the field. We did have the best crowd out there though, and even some of my teachers from school came out to watch. I was lucky enough to have Nannie, Aunt Jenny, Uncle Troy, Kaly, Hannah, Campbell, and of course my parents cheering me on!One game down and five to go. Later that afternoon, I went to Jack's birthday party. It was a blast, and I even did the zipline (without the bucket) all by myself! I sang all the songs and played all the games, including a killer baseball hit, and have you ever seen a better icing moustache? Saturday afternoon, we went to Hannah's soccer game and then finally just hung out at home. I had more fun than I could stand! Today Daddy and I headed down to Nederland for a few days, and I'm looking forward to spending some time with all my family there. I'll miss Mommy, but I promised her we'd be back soon!

Happy Labor Day!

Today was an absolutely gorgeous day. After two months of temperatures in the 100s, we woke up to a high of 85 degrees, and to make it even better...no school today! We rode bikes, played outside all day, grilled and of course had some quality time on the trampoline. I love playing with my cousins all the time, and they love playing with me! As for our new house, earlier this week we drove by to find a slab. I wanted to take a picture in my new room. I asked if we could sleep there, but Mommy said not yet. Bummer! This weekend I brought my camera out to snap a few photos of the framing. By the end of the week, that part should be done. I can't wait for new house to be ready. Swimming lessons are going pretty great. I really like my teacher, and this week I accomplished jumping in, turning around and swimming to the side all by myself! Best of all, I mastered the back float. I can finally do something that Dad can't do! I still don't like to get my ears wet, but I decided to accept that it just has to happen sometimes. I aced all my objectives at school this past week, and I even got to bring Monkey to show and tell! Other than that, it has been soccer practice and party time. I have been to three parties in the past two weekends! Seeing my friends outside of class is awesome, and the parties have been a blast. Another fun week ahead!
