Mommy has been really busy at work and daddy has had a weird schedule so when we woke up and found we had a day when we were all home together (even my schedule was clear) we decided to make the most of it and head to the Arboretum. It was great. There were so many pumpkins! I tried to sit on each one of them but just ran out of time.
You'll want to take notes while watching this video. I'm going to show you some break out moves that you're sure to see in a music video one day. Boz just does that to me...he makes me wanna dance.
We went to lunch today at Luby's (mommy & daddy like eating with all the Nanas and Grampas). I got my very first balloon. We made it home with the balloon and actually made it inside with the balloon. When I woke up from my nap, we decided to go outside and I took my balloon with me.
I have a new cousin. He was born Wednesday. I'm working on saying "Aiden" but haven't quite mastered it yet. Hopefully by the time we see him, I'll have it down.
Here is Aiden in his Texas Tech hat.
Here I am in my Texas Tech hat.
I'm already mastering the "mom, why do you have to take my picture" look. Do I look like a big boy or what? No more baby for me...I'm BIG!
My feelings about Preschool Pals: I LOVED it & it LOVED me! When mommy picked me up, my teachers said that I had a great day. They send home a report here is what mine said:
I've gotten really good at repeating after mommy & daddy. Daddy decided to try getting me to say the names of our family. Here's my attempt.
This morning mommy strapped on her walking shoes and I hopped in the stroller and we were off to "D'Feet ALS". ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. We were walking in memory of Granddad with the hope that money raised would help find a cure for ALS. It was a lot of fun. There were tons of people and we got to stroll for 3 miles through downtown Dallas. 
I start Preschool Pals in a week and am expected to nap on my nap mat. Mommy bought a cool looking one for me so she decided to put it on the floor and see if I knew what is was for. Puh-leese, everyone knows what a nap mat is for...snuggle right up and take a nap. I'm ready for preschool!
There was lots to do at the fair today. Daddy and I took some time to go to the auto show. I figure I will be driving soon so I better start car shopping. What do you think about this one? Every boy needs a truck.
This was daddy's favorite. It was Bumble Bee from the Transformers movie. I think I could probably drive this one too!
Mommy and Daddy took advantage of the great weather and the $4.00 fair tickets and took me to the Texas State Fair today. It was also senior citizen day so there were a lot of Nanas and Papas there too.
There was a big cowboy standing at the front of the fair, his name is "Big Tex". I liked to listen to him talk, he has a loud, deep voice.
Mommy and Daddy wanted to take me on the big ferris wheel, but it wasn't running while we were there. Maybe I can ride it next year.
There was lots of good food at the fair, too much to choose from. We liked the corny dogs. You could even get fried coke. Mommy and Daddy didn't let me try the fried coke.
Mommy finally gave into daddy's begging & pleading and took me to get a haircut this morning. She thought it would be a quick in and out and we'd be done...little did she know I had different plans. I was NOT going to sit in that chair no matter what was on the video and I was NOT going to let some stranger come at me with sharp & pointy scissors. Was she crazy? The only way we made it through was with mommy holding me as I stood on the chair (for quick escape). When the torture was over (for both of us), mommy let me play with the trains in the store...this is the only picture she was able to snap because of the drama. What do you think? Do I look older and wiser?
Daddy & I went to the Pumpkin Patch this morning. We met Mr. Jon and Caden and Mr. Bob and Harrison up there. Can you find me in the picture? I wore my pumpkin patch camo so you might not be able to find me. We took lots of pictures so we'll post a slide show for you to see them all.
While we were in New Mexico, I got to go to my very first parade! Aspenfest is a celebration of the Aspens turning gold in the fall. As a part of the celebration, Ruidoso has a huge parade. It was a lot of fun to watch the parade. I even got to see Smokey Bear and Santa. They were both there!
Mommy, Nana Jo, & I went up to mommy's old school to watch a volleyball game on Saturday. As we walked from the parking lot, I found a LOT of leaves to crunch. I almost had more fun crunching the leaves than I did at the game.
After my baths at night, I don't like to put on my pjs. I always try to escape and really enjoy running through the house (wherever we might be) in my birthday suit. I didn't see it coming tonight but daddy caught me and wrapped me all up in a towel before I could bolt out of the bathroom. If I can't run in my birthday suit, I'll scoot around all wrapped up like a burrito in my towel...and then eventually give into the pjs.
It was much cooler in New Mexico than it has been at home. I was constantly saying "sides"...meaning I want to go outside. I loved to play on the deck. Nana Jo & Grampa have a huge deck that overlooks the mountains. I would grab Grampa's golf club and push it all around the deck. It was great fun.
I decided there is no slippy floor that I can't slide on. Nana Jo thought it was pretty nice of me to dust her floor for her. I thought it was pretty nice of me too.
Our gate at the airport was right next to a great play area. Lucky for me, they had a car for me to drive. How do I look? I think I need one of these.
Walking with Grampa to get our luggage. Roswell has a REALLY small airport so we didn't have to walk far.
We were starving so we went to eat at Furr's (a family tradition).
Yumm yumm yumm. I love me some Furr's.
