Ouchie

I had an accident at Daycare this week when a toy school bus fell on my poor big toe. It was red and swollen, and my toenail turned black. I didn't want to put any weight on it until mommy brought me a magic shoe that let me walk without hurting.

Two days later, some mean little girl in my class ran over my same toe with the same school bus!! It started bleeding, but I was a big boy! I did cry a little but not for long.

I wan't going to let that little toe stop me from having some fun outside!!

Fun Indoors

It has been raining on and off all week long. I haven't been able to go and play outside like I wanted. I have been throwing fits to go outside, so mommy finally let me go play on the patio a few times between storms.

The best part about rain is playing in the puddles it leaves behind!

Daddy brought in my basketball goal to help entertain and give me a few lessons. He said that he wants me to learn how to shoot with my left hand and right hand. Then I will be undefendable just like my Uncle Tim. (Ofcourse Daddy can defend him, but he is the best!)

I worked on my dunk,...

my jumpshot,...

and passing with Maggie.

Uh oh where did the ball go?

Hey did you check under the couch?

I see it! It is way under there!

Daddy, will you please help me?

Reach further! You almost have it!

Thanks Daddy. That shot was just for you!

Basketball was fun, but staying inside can get boring. Maggie and I both really want it to stop raining.

Mommy spent the rainy weekend cleaning out her closet. She would make nice organized piles, and I would knock them over. I kept stealing this shirt from her, so she decided to make me wear it and take pictures for future blackmail opportunity.

Blackmail? Whatever, I look like Luke Skywalker!

Well, that's what I have been doing this week. Hopefully my next pictures will be taken outside in the sun!

Later folks!!

This is my mommy. I love her very much, but she just may be the worst blogger in the world! So here is what has been going on with me for the past month:

I now sleep in a big boy bed!!

And I am working hard on my pitching!

Although for some reason the ball likes to go backwards.

Sunday morning in our house is "Pancake Sunday." When I am a good boy I might get chocolate in my pancakes!!

Sometimes I have to work for the chocolate.

I still love my Maggie!!

But her kisses are gross!!

Here Daddy let me help you...

Better yet it looks better on me!

This video was made last month the morning after Grandma Manda left. She never got to see it, so this is especially for you Grandma!!

Snow Day

It started snowing about 2pm on Saturday and was still going strong when we went to bed. We woke up to about 4 inches of snow. Mommy wouldn't let me run around and play in it, but I did get to go out and watch Daddy build me a snowman!

Our snowman was fat and squatty, but I was still proud of my Daddy!!

Me and Daddy


Me and Mommy

Daddy decided it would be a good idea to eat about 4lbs of pulled pork from the Natural Born Grillers. His arteries clogged up right before this picture.

Some Videos

Grandma requested a video to show off my walking. This one is for you Grandma Amanda!

My two favorite things at nighttime: Daddy's video game controller and Spongebob Squarepants.

The Banana Peel Thief

I worked really hard this morning to get a piece of pancake on my fork. I finally did after about 15 minutes of trying. But my success quickly faded.

Then, 10 seconds later (literally)...

Have you missed me?

Let me apologize for my slacker of a Mommy. She hasn't put up any pictures of me from this whole year. So noone has seen how big I have gotten. I started walking at the beginning of the new year, so I am into everything now!! And Mommy and Daddy are feeding me real food now, so I have discovered that there are things that taste a lot better than that stuff in the jar!! Plus, I am down to only one bottle a day, but if they try to take my binky away, I am ready to put up a fight!!

I had my first haircut!!

Daddy likes my hair to be neat and straight!! He hasn't yet figured out that you can't fight curly hair.

One of my new favorite snacks: Banana Nut Cheerios

I finally discovered chocolate! It was so good that I had to share it with my best friend!

Mommy thinks I have separation anxiety, but that isn't true.When I find something that fits perfectly into my little hands, I hang on to it for as long as I can. I had this banana peel for an hour before Mommy was able to get it away from me!

I was way too fast for her!!

I only get a bottle at nighttime now, so I make sure to savor every drop of it.

Well, that's a little update on what I've been doing this year. I will try to make Mommy do better, but I can't make any promises!

Bacon Explosion

Anyone who knows my Daddy is aware of his undying love for bacon. So when he found this recipe, he was like a kid in a candy store. The following is a step by step pictorial of "Bacon Explosion." This recipe consists of 2 pounds of bacon, 2 pounds of Italian sausage, BBQ sauce, BBQ rub, and a smoker. Warning: You may get a stomach ache just from seeing the pictures!

Step 1: A bacon basketweave covered in dry rub.

Step 2: Layer of Italian sausage

Step 3: Layer of cooked bacon covered in dry rub and sauce

Step 4: Roll up the sausage

Step 5: Wrap it in bacon

Step 6: Smoke for several hours.

And it is ready to be served!!

That is one happy man!!
