Lots of Laughter!

Life is one big adventure for this rambunctious little 2 year old toddler and our life with him is filled with laughter. It is so much fun to see the world through his unfiltered eyes. He is always so curious about everything and is totally go with the flow. He especially thought the crazy hissing white goose behind his right shoulder was funny, even though his daddy and I thought he was a little scary. Find joy in the journey!

Learning my Letters

Aside from all of the splashing and water fun of bath time, I also love bath time b/c I get to play with my letters. I love searching for letters, naming the letters, making the letter sounds, and making up my own words. Mom was totally amazed at how many letters I named off for her tonight! It must be from watching my favorite show---Word World (pronounced whuhd whuhld)! If you haven't seen it, you simply MUST dvr it and let me know what you think. 

"Pee Pee Potty!"

Last night, I pee'd in the big boy potty!!! I have been asking to go to the potty at almost every diaper change for a few weeks now, but all I had ever done was sit on the potty and immediately say "all done" even though nothing happened. Mom and Dad happily sat me down at each and every request. Well, last night I asked to "potty" and after a few seconds, I actually PEE PEE'D! I was so proud of myself and mom and dad were cheering me on. I went straight down stairs to tell mimi and doc and then had to call mamaw and papaw and told them "pee pee potty!"  Mom and Dad are going to buy me my very own potty tomorrow since this potty is a little too big for me! Wish me luck!!!

This is what Luke and I were doing today: 07.08.09 @ 10:11:12 in the morning.....watching his birthday videos. His favorite one is the one where he is watching the trains go by with his good buddy Connor. Thanks to the Russell's for sending us the videos they had taken at the party. They have given us hours of entertainment. I don't know what it is, but Luke LOVES to watch himself on video. 

July 4th Weekend!

Friday night we went to a Sunday School fellowship at our Pastor's house. There were tons of kids to play with, but my favorite thing was hands down---the watermelon.

I kept a tight grip on dad during the fireworks. The Pastor put on quite a show.

The theme of the weekend was the pool! We spent all day Friday and Saturday hanging out in the pool. I am getting pretty brave in the pool and it's starting to make Mommy and Mimi a little nervous. Can we say swimming lessons, please?

Saturday night Daddy went to Uncle Kyle's to play cards with the guys, so Mimi, Mom, Aunt Liz and I went to the Country Club to watch fireworks. When we were driving to the Club, we were talking about seeing the "pop pops", as I call them, and I kept saying "Pop Pops, Oh NO!" I guess I remembered how loud they were last night. Since these were further away, they weren't as loud and I enjoyed them much better. I would say "Wow" after the really big ones and if there was a little lull in the action, I would make the sign and say "More, More!"

No July the 4th would be complete without playing with sparklers.... so after I went to bed, Mom and Aunt Liz got to play. Doc said they looked like they were 7 years old again playing with sparklers in the yard! What a nice relaxing July 4th weekend!

Happy B'day GB!!!

This past Thursday night we kicked off the holiday weekend with a birthday party for Great Grandmother Betty! We had a great time seeing Aunt Susan and Aunt Karen that came down for the event! This was the first time in a long time that Mimi all of her siblings had gotten together in quite a while.

We had the typical July 4th spread: homemade pulled pork and pulled chicken, baked beans, west Indies salad, 7 layer dip, uncle paddy's ribs, congealed salad, potato salad,  and a chocolate caramel cake. We have been eating on the food all weekend and they sure have been tasty!

Happy 77th Birthday GB!!! After she blew out her candles, I begged to blow out two candles on my own piece of cake. I am not spoiled at all :)

Sss....Sss....Snake!

Lukie has finally found out how to walk around with his walking cast! Well, yesterday afternoon, he was playing around outside with his daddy and all the sudden he started yelling "sss....sss....sss....snake!" Jeremy checked it out and then came inside to get me and tell me there was a snake outside! I ran upstairs to get my camera and couldn't believe it ...turtles (see post below) and now snakes! Fun Times!!! I got outside and yep, you guessed it! A HUGE garden variety snake--- a rubber hose! It was TOO funny and he was adamant that the hose really was a SNAKE!
