Yes...We Got Wet Today!

Finally, we got some rain today! It wasn't a ton of rain, but it did get the grass wet and a little green, so that is good! I just hope the million-degree weather this weekend doesn't dry everything up in a second...that wouldn't be any good.

Daddy took me for a ride in my car tonight, but I fell asleep before we got all the way back home! I wanted to stay awake, but I couldn't because Grandma and Granddad wore me out...we played all day and had a great time! I guess it was ok that I fell asleep, because I really was tired, and I had already played hard all day! It is fun when Grandma and Granddad keep me!

The weekend is almost here, so I'll have all kind of fun time with mommy and daddy real soon...yes!

Rain?

Well, I'm still waiting on all of this rain that was forecasted...our yard is so dry that I can't go out and play in it! Plus, the temperature is supposed to be about a million degrees all this weekend and half of next week so we really, really, really need the rain right now!

Enough about rain...I went to Tamara and Brady's pool again today and we had a nice time! I just really like to get in the water and out in the sun! Maybe someday mommy and daddy will have a pool in their back yard...you never know!

Heat Wave

I hope everyone is taking it easy today, because it is burning up hot outside! I really hope it rains tomorrow, a lot of rain, because everything is just dry dry dry! It is so hot outside that it really is hard to keep inside the house cool, and that is no good because I get hot really easy!

I guess the good news is that there are only 3 more work days left this week, and then I get the weekend to spend with my mommy and daddy!

Happy Birthay, Grandma!

I had a great time at Grandma's birthday dinner on Saturday! Great Aunt Ruthie made some really good pasta, bread, salad and yellow cake, and we all grubbed until we were full as a tick! Grandma got some really nice gifts...a few picture frames, some hand towels and bath towels and dish towels, some other stuff that I can't remember, and the antique bench that we are sitting on in this picture! I know Grandma had a good time that day...now she has the picture frame that I gave her right beside her bed because it has a picture of me in it, and it plays "You Are My Sunshine" when you wind it up! I think she really liked that gift!

It was a good day...Happy Birthday again Grandma!

Where's the Beef?

OK, I'm a growing boy, and when I get hungry I want food right NOW! Don't pull my chain...just feed me! I was hungry tonight so daddy fed me two bottles of food, 4 yogurt melts, 5 puffs and 6 oz of formula...that hit the spot! I was happy as a clown after I ate all of this for my supper...like I said, I am a growing boy!!

Another Car to Ride!

A few days ago I showed you my favorite car to ride in...well, I also have a car to ride in when I'm inside the house...actually, I have a fire engine to ride when I'm in the house!! Sometimes mommy or daddy will push me around the basement while I'm riding on my fire engine...it makes cool sounds and talks! It has a handle on the back that I can hold onto...I'm starting to hold the handle and push at the same time, so it probably won't be a real long time until I start walking!! I can't wait to start walking...that will make me a certified big boy...then I can go outside and romp with daddy...just in time for football season hopefully so we can get out and run some routes...sweet!!

Anyway, this is the second car that I park in my garage...I love it!

Knocked Out with Uncle JP

Uncle JP put me to sleep on the night of my baptism, and then he fell asleep, too! I think we were both worn out that night...it was a long, fun day for both of us!

Last night I went to bed at 6:30 P.M. and I didn't wake up until 7:00 this morning!! Can you believe that?!? I slept for more than 12 hours...I've never done that before in my life! I tell you what, I was completely worn out...I didn't take a nap all day, I wasn't feeling well because I have teeth coming in, and I was having such a good time playing in my house that I just didn't go to sleep at all! When daddy got home, mommy asked if he could try to get me to sleep, so we got on the couch, just like Uncle JP and I in this picture. It took a while (I was fighting sleep like I always do!) but daddy finally worked his magic and got me to close my eyes! After that, I was out like a light!! I felt so much better today...yes!!

My First Car

Check me out in my first new car!! Mommy bought me this after she saw that one that her friend had...I'm glad mommy saw it, because I love this thing! Sometimes I ride with both hands on the steering wheel, sometimes with only one hand on the steering wheel, and sometimes with both hands on my knees...really, I just pick the most comfortable way to ride, and that is what I do! I haven't seen any cute nine month olds to take for a ride yet, but if I keep getting out, I'm sure I'll find someone.

I went down and saw grandma and granddad last night, and tonight I went to see GG and Aunt Ruthie...they all thought my new car was too cool!

I have my nine month pictures tomorrow morning...I hope it isn't too hot, because we're doing them outside...I hope they turn out well. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Fireman Everett

I'm glad that the coolest dude in the neighborhood, Fireman Everett, came to my baptism!! He and Lori brought me this awesome fire engine that I can ride on and play with...it is so much fun! I wear my "future fireman" t-shirt that he got me and ride around on my new fire engine in the basement!

We took this cool picture in the backyard! Fireman Everett is holding my favorite finger puppet (I named the finger puppet Fireman Everett :)) beside me...I thought this was sooo cool!! Thanks for the fire engine, and for the neat picture, Everett!!

Cake...My New Favorite Food!

Papa Pat talked mommy into feeding me a little cake after my baptism...I LOVED IT!! Granddad was holding me, mommy was feeding me, Papa Pat was taking the pictures and daddy was laughing! I can't wait until my birthday gets here so I can have some more cake!! Daddy kept talking about Uncle JP's first birthday cake, and how he dug into it with both of his hands...I hope mommy lets me do the same thing, but I bet she doesn't. Either way, I'll still get to eat some of that yummy cake!!

Baptism

We had a great day yesterday for the baptism! Deacon Joe did a
great job, and a lot of my family and friends were there! When we came home we had a great time! We had two tents in the backyard, and there were tables set up, and there were flowers on the tables, and there was all kinds of good food to eat! The weather was perfect, too! It was a great day, and I'm glad that now I'm baptized!

The Time Has Come!

Well, I have gone to bed and it is almost time for my baptism! We had a great day today...we got to visit with Papa Pat and Grancilla, Aunt Tiffany and Carson and Preston and Grace, Grandma and Granddad, Uncle JP, and other people too...and it wasn't even my big day yet...HOLY COW!! I bet tomorrow will be a great day!

I hope the rain stops so daddy can put up the tents and so we all have a big time outside. I hope everyone sleeps well...see you tomorrow.

Do You See What I See?

OK, so I'm getting into everything that I can get my hands on, but it is so much fun!! Once I learned how to stand up by myself, then I could see the world from a whole new perspective! I love it...I can get into cabinets, I can grab stuff, I can pull up on the couch, I can do all kinds of stuff now!!

Papa Pat and Grancilla are coming in tomorrow...I think we're going to go out to eat and have a nice time...and then Uncle JP is coming in tomorrow night, too! It is going to be a great weekend!

Cool as a Polar Bear's Toenail

Do I really need to say anything...I mean, look at us...we have to be the two coolest cats in E'town!!! It's a good thing that our mommies were with us, because if they weren't then we would probably have gotten into some trouble!!

Good Times!

I got to visit with Tate, Reed, and Dawson yesterday....mommy watched all of us for a little while because Donna had to work and Kim had to do some shopping. We all had a really good time together! Since mommy got to watch all of us, now she has the "I want to stay home" itch like she did last year. Daddy just chuckles and asks mommy what she is thinking...I think she's thinking good things, because I like it when mommy watches me, but I know that mommy likes her work, too! Who knows, maybe mommy can get a part-time job at the gas station to help pay the bills!

Anyway, I'm swinging right now while there is thunder and lightning outside!! I hope we get some more rain, because we really do need more.

My Friend!

I can't wait to see my friend, Theresa, at my baptism this Sunday! I think we're going to have a little bash at our house after the ceremony is over, so we'll get to have some fun together. I miss her and Roger, since I haven't seen them since our Florida trip! I bet we'll all have a big time this weekend!

I think daddy is going to set up a bunch of tents in the back yard so everyone can keep out of the sun! I bet we'll have some cornhole games out there, so there will be some fun stuff to do outside. I think the inside of the house will be set up too, so if people get too hot then they can come inside and cool off! I can't wait!!

Guess What!!!

I really can't believe it, but I am so excited...mommy is going to have a baby! I'm going to be a big brother!!! The baby is due on January 1, so I've still got about 6 months to be an only child, but after that I'll have to share mommy and daddy...I kind of like that, though, because then I'll be a big brother and I'll get to teach my brother or sister how to be a good kid like me!!

I'm tired right now, so I'll post more tomorrow. Sleep well, everyone!
