Day Two

It was day two of vacation bible school. We got to read a few bible stories then we packed a picnic. I did mention that this years theme is Saddle Ridge Ranch right? After we had our snack at church, mommy took Will to do arts and crafts then we came home. Yes we are leaving Vacation Bible School an hour early every night but mommy says it's ok because 2 and half hours is a very long time for me to sit still. Early today we did make it to the library. They had a puppet show. I was not impressed by the puppets. In fact I found Miss Lynn way more interesting than the puppets. Daddy is off the next two days! So you know what that means...no blogging. We are going to try to rest a little. Mommy says we have lots of errands to run tomorrow then VBS. I'm hoping daddy will at least make mommy slow down long enough so we can go swimming! Fingers crossed! Ok think I'm going to bed now. Long day ahead of us tomorrow!

I Need A Vacation...

away from Mommy and Daddy! We have been so busy lately I don't remember the last long nap I had. Friday when daddy got home he took a nap. Looking back if I had known how much we were going to do I would have taken a nap with him. When daddy woke up we started running errands then we took a long car ride to go visit Ayden. Ayden's birthday is next Sunday and since daddy has to work we went to visit him early. We took him an Elmo doll to play with. I secretly wished it was mine. My daddy picks out the coolest gifts for kids. I got to play with Ayden. What do boys play with? We played ball and I played with his mickey mouse rattle. AWESOME! Mommy and daddy didn't plan this trip too well because it was near my nap time once we got there so we didn't stay too long. When we got back in town mommy and daddy decided to go buy groceries. After all that we went to Granny and Harold's to go swimming! I love to swim but boy does it make me sleepy! I slept so good Friday night! Saturday morning mommy and I walked to Granny and Harold's. Daddy came over shortly after we did. He cooked hot dogs on the grill. Then Aunt Brandi, Uncle B, and the girls came and had lunch with us. Mommy made these really cool cupcakes (but once again mommy has left the camera in the car...I'll post pictures tomorrow!) We swam ALL DAY...well I did all but the 45 minutes I napped inside with Granny and Harold. Aunt Brandi and Uncle B stayed all day and we loved every minute of it. When they left Harold and Granny invited us out to dinner. I didn't know Saturday was going to be such a big day! I ended up getting my first car! After dinner we went to Wal-mart and mommy and daddy bought me a car! It's green and it's very sporty! It's even got a cup-holder for my water bottle! I love it well all but the fact it's a one-seater and I can't cruise around an pick up any chicks. Well that might be awkward anyway since Mom's always around. Sunday morning when daddy woke up we took my new car out for a spin and put a few miles on it. I think I should have gotten an upgraded model with an air conditioner because boy it sure was hot! We hung around the house most of Sunday. Paw Paw and Maw Maw Tweedell came by. We gave Paw Paw his Father's Day gift because daddy has to work on Father's Day. We did go back to Granny and Harold's to swim some more Sunday night. Now for today...it's been busy too. We went to Walmart this morning with Granny. Then tonight was our first night of Vacation Bible School. I wasn't sure what to expect but I had a great time. We did a little book, then mommy read to us. We sang songs, played with some nature stuff, then it was snack time! I had a cookie and some juice! Yummy! Then we came home. Vacation bible school wasn't over but there is much a baby can do. Plus it was kind of close to my bed time. Well I think I'm gonna call it a night. We are going to the library in the morning for a puppet show! That should be interesting! Well good night all!

Fiddlin' Dan

Mommy and I had a great day. We went for a morning walk. We went to Granny's and played. We came home and played with daddy. I got to listen to daddy's work radio. We played a lot in my room today because everybody out our way lost power and my room is really bright! When daddy left we had dinner then it was off to the library for Fiddlin' Dan. Mommy tried to take a picture but for some reason the pictures were really dark. I had planned on putting a picture of him playing the fiddle but since it was really dark I decided to add a picture of me sleeping in my big boy bed (thanks for taking the picture mom). Tonight at the library Fiddlin' Dan was trying to introduce me to a baby name Lily. I smiled at her but she's no Abby :( We had a great time and he sang lots of songs. He also asked for lots of kids to help him play instruments. I kept putting my arms in the air like the rest of the kids but he never chose me. Maybe next time. I got three more books at the library tonight. Mommy said she wasn't going to read them to me today, she is going to save them for tomorrow. We are going on a car ride to see Ayden. Mommy thinks she can entertain me with books. I'm excited to go play with a baby around my age. Mommy and Daddy are excited too! Ok I better go and get some sleep I have a feeling I'm going to be very busy tomorrow!

Three Jam Packed Days

WOW...that's all I can say about the past few days. Monday me and mommy went to Story time alone. We went to the early morning one hoping to see my friend Abby, but no luck. I had a great time. The theme was pigs and I love pigs! And guess who I saw when we were leaving? Abby. Yep she overslept. But we had already made plans to meet up at the library in two weeks. No it's not a date our moms will be there :( After story time we came home and woke daddy up. We hung around the house for a little while then mommy had a lot of errands to run so she took me to Granny and Harold's and I got to stay with them for a little while. I haven't wanted mommy to leave me lately but it wasn't that bad. While mommy and daddy had a little time away from me they were still thinking about me, because when they came home they had me a surprise! A big boy bed! Yep I've got me a toddler bed. It's so cool! I took a picture but I can't find the camera right now. I'll post pictures tomorrow! We even went swimming Monday night too! Monday was great but Tuesday was even better! Tuesday morning we woke up and rushed to go to the library...yep two days in a row. We saw a magician there and he was AWESOME! He made a real bunny come out of a book bag! Mommy and Daddy bought me a DVD of the magic show, a book that shows me how to do the tricks, and a magic rope! We spent the rest of the afternoon in the pool! I had a great time! I love the water. Mommy and Daddy had Taco Bell for dinner and they even let me have some potatoes! Yummy! Today we stayed pretty busy running around town with Granny. Next week is vacation bible school and we've been gathering supplies and snacks! I can't wait. I'm gonna be in the nursery with mommy! Well that about sums up the past few days. We've got an extra busy weekend coming up too! Friday we are going to visit daddy's Aunt Regina, Uncle Eddie, and Ayden! Then Saturday mommy and daddy are having a pool party with my Aunt Brandi B., Brandon, and the girls! I'm super excited to show off my pool floats and my swimsuit! OK I promise pictures tomorrow and I'm sure another exciting post! Night night!

Two Really Boring Days

Well daddy had to work all weekend long so that makes for some really boring days. Saturday we didn't do anything. Saturday night I got to stay with Granny and Harold for about 30 minutes so mommy could run get her something to eat. She brought me back a baked potato! I love those! This morning I thought we were going to church, mommy had our clothes laid out and I was excited to get to leave the house. We woke up pretty early...well early enough to get ready for church, but we didn't. I heard mommy tell daddy later that she didn't want to leave me in the nursery. I'm pretty clingy to mommy right now and I do cry a lot when she leaves me. Maybe she did the right thing but us not going. We ended up spending most of the day at Granny and Harold's. While daddy was home today we watched the rest of Toy Story. I love that movie. Granny bought me a big blanket the other night with Woody and Buzz on it! So we snuggled in the bed with my new blanket and watched it. Tonight we stayed home and played. I enjoyed a few cookies while mommy ate dinner and now it's my bedtime. We have story time in the morning and mommy has something planned for me and daddy Tuesday. Can't wait to see what she has in mind. Daddy's home for two days so that means no blogging. Hope everyone has a great Monday!

Show Us Your Life...

Yes it's that time of the week again. It's Show Us Your Life Friday! Today's topic is Random Acts of Kindness. I wasn't sure what this meant so I asked my mom. She filled me in on some random acts that have taken place since I've been born so here so goes what I've been told...

• When I was born the ladies' at the hospital gave me a green crocheted hat (mommy has it put up for me)
• The Monday after I got home from the hospital Miss Sara Dewberry brought mommy and daddy a cake (and she held me) OK so maybe that wasn't a random act of kindness maybe more of a bribe to hold me, but it was very unexpected and very sweet!
• One night Granny and Harold stopped by to see us at our house when I was very little and they brought 5 cases of diapers! Mommy and Daddy were very happy!
• My Aunt Sharon and Uncle D buy me little stuff all the time unexpected, and it's very much appreciated! When they started doing this it was always on the 1st (the day of the month I was born) then it became just whenever so I think that falls under Random.
• My Aunt Jeanine came to see me once and brought me diapers, clothes, and a Ham (by the way I think mommy and daddy ate that I didn't get any) That was totally random and very kind.
• Aunt Kellie stopped by last week and gave me a clock. That was pretty random too.

Mommy and Daddy say they are very blessed to have so many people in their lives that do so much for them. We try to give back as much as we can. We may not be able to buy lots of things for people but we can help people in other ways. Mommy and I are going to bake cookies and take them to people we know very soon. Mommy loves to cook and it's a nice way to say we are thinking about you. So what are some things that you've done that are random acts of kindness? Or better yet what has someone done for you that's been random and kind?

A Magic Show!

Yesterday when I got up mommy and I headed for the library. I thought she was crazy because it was Tuesday and Baby Story Time is on Mondays. When we got there she returned my last book (Pete's A Pizza -A Must Read) then we got two new books. Then we met up with one of mommy's friends from High School and her daughter Darbee. We sat on the floor at the library and I knew something was coming. We watched a Magic Show. I wasn't impressed, although I'm only 8 months old. I got pretty bored pretty fast. The kids around me kept me more entertained than the show itself. Oh well. It made mommy happy to get out of the house. We spent the rest of the day at home. I didn't feel too well so mommy kept me inside and held me a LOT! We did go to Granny and Harold's later on to eat some watermelon, but since I'm not feeling well I didn't want any. I have been keeping mommy up at night. Wednesday was pretty boring. Although apparently mommy and daddy are having car problems, because Wednesday morning mommy woke me up and we got in the car first thing. Mommy was still wearing her nightgown and some bright pink pants (wish I had a camera!). When we got to the end of the road we saw daddy walking. Mommy and daddy's car wouldn't crank and daddy had to walk home. Good thing we only live three miles from daddy's work. Mommy was mad at daddy for not calling sooner and waking us up. Daddy said he didn't want to disturb us. We didn't do anything Wednesday night. Thursday mommy, daddy, and I went swimming and went to the library for an Aztec Indian Dance. That was awesome! That man did lots of dances and hollering! Thursday night Mommy and Daddy had to get their car hauled from the prison and now daddy is back to driving his old car. Car problems sure do make mommy ill. I sure wasn't tired last night so mommy, daddy, and I went to wal-mart pretty late to buy groceries. I'm becoming quiet the night owl. Daddy loves it. He can't wait til I watch movies with him ALL night. Mommy? Not so excited. She likes to sleep apparently.
Today has been busy. We came to Granny and Harold's. Then this woman came over her. She looked like my Aunt Sharon...but kind of like my dad. Well I say that because she has NO HAIR! When I saw my Aunt Sharon the other day she had long long long hair that I could pull! But not today. She's got NO HAIR! Don't get me wrong, it's pretty but I'm not used to it yet. I'm sure it's her though because she played with me and hugged on me.
We've spend the day going and going. I'm tired so I think I"m going to call it a night. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
