Happy New Year!

Well today is the first day of a new year. Wonder what this year will hold in store for us. Last year was great! I went from having to lay in my bed all day to running around our house and making huge messes. Daddy found an amazing job, we made some awesome new friends, had lots of fun over the summer, and did lots of fun things around town. For New Years Eve mom was kind of bummed because daddy had to work. They have been together for ten years now and this is the first one that daddy hasn't been here. But she said that it made it all better having me here. We had lots of fun. We spent most of our night at Granny and Harold's. I got to play with my gifts that we haven't brought home yet. Then we came home and went to bed. Mommy went to bed at the same time I did, we didn't even see the big Peach drop...but I bet it was messy. Mommy said she was glad she didn't have to clean that up. I didn't sleep well last night so I got mommy up at 3 am and we played until daddy came home. Daddy saw that we hadn't had much sleep so he took us to IHOP for breakfast then to Walmart!!!! Perfect morning if you ask me. Mommy says that most people make resolutions for the new year so here are mine...
I think I should try to start running. I've tried but I usually fall down. Running looks fun..I know I saw Toby and Travis do a lot of it.
I should probably try to sleep more but I know my toys party while I'm sleeping because every night I leave my toys scattered everywhere and most of the time when I get up the next morning they aren't in the floor anymore...explain that one????
I think I'll try to talk more. I seem to get more if I ask for it.

Well I think that's about it for me. Hope everyone had a great new years day :)

Two Aunt Brandi's??

Wednesday night mommy said we were going to see Aunt Brandi. I was super excited to get to play with the girls...at least I thought I would get to play with the girls. We went to Stevie B's to meet up with them, but when we got there it wasn't the Aunt Brandi I remember. She didn't look the same and she had no girls with her...just Caleb her husband and TWO BOYS!!!! Boys...yes boys. Thank god someone else has boys!!!! Of course I was excited that we were eating pizza, macaroni pizza at that but I was even more excited because I remember mommy saying they were coming back to our house!!! I could finally have some boys over at my house to help me destroy it!!!! We had a great time. Apparently this Aunt Brandi is the one that was living in Japan. I remember her sending me a bib and a picture frame after I was born. That bib was the coolest bib ever!!!! I had a great time with Toby and Travis and I know Mommy and daddy had fun visiting with friends. Daddy and Caleb took a few pictures but needless to say they aren't the best photographers. Mommy took a few of me and the boys playing but you know her...she hasn't put them on the computer yet. So enjoy the one picture from the night I stole from Aunt Brandi's facebook page.

And P.S. I think it's awesome having two Aunt Brandis :)

Well it was Christmas. Sorry I've been missing from the blog. I've been really busy playing with ALL my new toys! I really racked up this Christmas. I'm going to include some pictures with this blog!!! So here is how our Christmas went. Christmas Eve daddy came home and exchanged gifts with mommy. He gave her lots of gifts. She got some Golden Girl DVD's, lots of new stuff for the kitchen, and socks. Mommy gave him a DSi and lots of candy! Daddy took a nap and when he got up it was Show time! Daddy made a turkey and mommy made lots of yummy foods. Then before you knew it everybody was showing up. We had Christmas with my daddy's side of the family first. I had a great time playing with Devin. Aunt Shellie and Devin bought me a ton of toys. I got a tent, lots of books, a book bag, crayons, and the coolest drum set ever! Grandpaw and Maw Maw Tweedell gave me a bunch of books and clothes. Grandmaw Tweedell gave me books too! The knew just what I wanted :) When they left daddy wasn't feeling good so I took a nap with him. Mommy ended up trying to wake me up to go to Granny's. It didn't work. I slept right on through. Daddy did get up...and thank goodness, mommy said she couldn't tote us both to the car. We had dinner with mommy's side of the family then it was time to open more gifts! I got a ton of gifts. I got a Cozy coupe car, a train that I can ride, a school bus, a rocking horse, and lots and lots of gifts. Aunt Sharon and Uncle D bought me a webbles tree house. Once we got done there we came home and got ready for Santa. We were going to make cookies but we were so tired that we just went to bed. I guess santa was full from all those other cookies at the other kids houses' because he wasn't mad. He left me a lot of stuff. I was worried that because I didn't sit in his lap that he wouldn't bring me anything but I guess he understood. I got lots of sing a ma jigs, cars, car holder, tonka stuff, a guitar, and lots of balls! After I opened my gifts Granny and Harold came over to see what all I got. After that we went to Aunt Sharon and Uncle D's for breakfast. We had a great time even though daddy was starting to get sick. We came home and me and daddy took a nap. I got up but daddy didn't. He was so sick. We had lots of company Christmas Day. Aunt Sue, Jeri, Will, and Jamie came by. Then Gran Gran and Paw Paw Bradley came over. They brought me a little people school bus. When every one left mommy went and got daddy some medicine. He did wake up and have dinner with us. Mommy fixed a ham for us and we had a nice quiet dinner. I think I had the best Christmas yet!!! I can't wait for next year...but what could I possibly ask for? Better start thinking now :)

Burrrr...it's Cold!

So yep it's super cold here. That means bundling up every time we go out which in turn means we don't go out much. I don't like jackets, hats, gloves without fingers (otherwise known as mittens because I think those are made for kittens) and to top it off I don't like shoes. Cold weather and I don't agree, well the cold weather is ok...if I could talk mom into letting me go outside without being bundled up. So I started this blog days ago and now it's getting close to Christmas. Apparently a lot goes into Christmas, cooking, cleaning, wrapping gifts, and lots of headaches (I know this because mommy has had a lot lately). With all this preparing for Christmas it has left me no time to blog. Plus I've gotten this walking thing down pat so who has time to sit in front of a computer to blog, I'd rather be walking, no make that running, around. Not much exciting has happened since I last blogged. Just the usual. Finished up Christmas shopping with mom and dad and been walking around and talking more! Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I'm so excited. When daddy gets home in the morning he and mommy and I are going to exchange gifts. Then around 2 daddy's side of the family is coming over for a late lunch. Daddy is making fried turkey and even though I don't like meat I'm sure they will put it on my plate. Mommy is excited about cooking and then eating, and then watching me open my gifts. Tomorrow night at 6 we get to go to Granny and Harold's to exchange gifts with them! Harold showed me the Toys R Us paper the other day to see what I wanted, I picked out a horse that rocks back and forth so fingers crossed that I get that!
Wow I just went back and checked my blog I've left out an awful lot. Ok let's see Thursday last week we went to Corral for the Nativity Scene. It was nice. I got to pet a donkey (Grace), a horse (CeCe) and a sheep, which felt yucky! It was rainy but luckily it wasn't too cold. Last Saturday we went to MeMaw Tweedell's for Christmas with all of them. I hadn't met some of them and I was kind of unsure about all the new people but we had a great time. I got to play with my big cousins. MeMaw bought me two metal Tonka trucks, which excited me and daddy both. Daddy says those are the best kind, the metal ones. Last Sunday we attended Arnco Baptist's Church for their Christmas Program. Did you know that our parents want us to be quiet while things like that are going on? Well I didn't. I had to make a little noise, I heard them singing and thought I would chime in too. Apparently I wasn't supposed to. After the play Santa made an appearance. Not impressed with this Santa man but I hope it doesn't effect him coming to see me. I don't care if he comes to the house and leaves me toys, just make it fast and do it while I'm sleeping. I did get a fruit bag from the church. YUMMY. My favorites, apples and oranges. So now I think I've covered everything we've done Christmas wise. Daddy is getting ready for work now and mommy is relaxing before the cooking marathon begins tomorrow. Mommy and Daddy are hoping for a white Christmas and even though I've never seen snow it's sounds cold and I know what that means...gotta bundle up :( I'm probably going to take a few more days off from blogging so I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas and I hope you all get to spend lots of time with family and friends. Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!

Sunday and A Sick Day

Yesterday it was cold and mommy didn't really want us to leave the house but we did. We went to Granny and Harold's to eat some yummy leftover food from the BBQ. We stayed because JJ was having his birthday party in Granny and Harold's building later on. Devin and Aunt Shellie stopped by and Devin got to open his gifts from Granny and Harold. He liked everything he got, and he even offered to let him help him open his gifts. I love playing in the building! It's open and there is a lot stuff I can get into. After we watched JJ open his birthday gifts we came home and by then it was nap time. When daddy and I woke up from our naps mommy had started dinner. We were supposed to go back to Granny and Harold's but it was so cold outside that mommy decided to cook here. We had an awesome dinner. Ham, rice, potato casserole, green beans and biscuits. Yum-O! Daddy gave me my bath and I splashed him so much he had to change shirts. I went to bed on time last night and mommy and daddy were excited that they got to spend a little time together but it didn't last long. I've got another head cold now and it struck last night. I couldn't breathe and when you can't breathe you can't sleep. I woke up around 11 and I didn't go back to sleep until after 3 this morning. Talk about a long night! This morning mommy and I slept way to late but I guess that's what you are supposed to do when you are sick. Mommy said she has never seen two people get sick with head colds like me and daddy have this year. We only left the house once today and that was to pay a bill and run to the bank. I didn't even see Granny and Harold today. I didn't want daddy to go to work but he had too. Me and mommy didn't do anything at all tonight but read books and play with cars. She gave me a bath but it wasn't the same as daddy. I chose eggs and biscuits for dinner but once mommy cooked I didn't eat. It's my bedtime so I'm headed to bed and hope that I feel better tomorrow. Being sick stinks :(

Let the Holidays Begin

So mommy says I need to get used to staying busy at least for the next few weeks. It's getting closer to Christmas so that means we have a lot to do. Yesterday was super busy, play date, nap time, groceries, Christmas shopping, pizza dinner, and lots of riding in the car. Today was just as busy. We had breakfast then we went to meet Santa. At first I thought OK I see him we can go now but NO mommy was pretty sure she wanted me to sit on his lap...no way! I don't know this man. He apparently didn't know me because he wanted to know what I wanted for Christmas. Hello...if he knew me he would know I want balls and books. That's what I like. Anyway first picture was a flop. I was screaming bloody murder. So they waited and tried again. The next few pictures were better but I sure wasn't going to break out my best smile for this. So now I've met Santa...hope he understands I don't care to much for people with facial hair. Sorry Santa, don't take it personal. Next we went to Target so I could pick up a few new hot wheels. Got some pretty awesome cars today. Then we went to Ashely Park so I could ride in a horse and buggy. We had to wait in line for an hour but it was well worth the wait. It was fun riding around! When came home napped then headed to Granny and Harold's for the BBQ. We had a great time. There was plenty of kids for me to play with. Mommy and Daddy got to spend some time with great friends and we had lots of yummy food! Now we are home and it's way past my bedtime. I've been fighting sleep for a while now. I should probably just give up and go to bed. Mommy says it is supposed to be really cold tonight and that she just wants to snuggle and sleep late. I know we will just stay home tomorrow...well maybe we will go to Granny's for lunch but other than that we are just going to stay home and stay warm. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Playdate with Ian

Sorry I didn't blog about this yesterday but I was super tired from my play date and all the running around we did. My play date with Ian was yesterday morning and wouldn't you know mommy had to wake me up to go. The one morning I decided to sleep in...geez. Anyway I guess mommy felt dad because she had me some tea cakes waiting for me in the car. We didn't travel too far to get to Ian's house. When we got there I was ready to play. I had a great time. Ian has some awesome toys. And his mommy had lots of stuff I could get into. We had a great time but didn't want to stay too long and out stay our welcome. Miss Rebecca had Cheerios and I would have been content to stay all day! And plus they had a cat...which I loved!!! Ian, buddy, I had a great time, you have awesome toys and you are a great friend. Can't wait til Monday's baby time so we can plan our next get together!
