Decorating the Christmas Tree

While I was napping this afternoon, mommy & daddy got all our Christmas decorations down. After dinner, and a quick trip to Hobby Lobby, we decorated the tree. I had fun helping this year. We'll see how long I can just walk by the tree without actually taking the fun balls off. Mommy thinks she put all the breakable ones up higher than I can reach but we'll just see. I have a magic power that allows me to grow an inch when I am determined to reach something. I'll keep you posted.

Being Silly

I had a great time playing with my cousins. I followed them around and did everything they did. It was great!

I love the camera and the camera LOVES me.

Below are some of the pictures we took during our family photo session. I must tell you that I am not shy around the camera. I've learned how to pose and I think I do a pretty good job of it. When the ladies taking our pictures finished taking the family pictures, they decided to take some individual ones of my cousins and me. When it was my turn, I walked right up to the backdrop, sat down and began posing. I would turn occasionally so I could highlight all my good sides. It was pretty fun. I think I was the hit of the studio.

Family Pictures

This past week we went to Nana & Papa's house for Thanksgiving. Nana wanted us to all take a picture since we were all there together. Luckily the place we went to had a fun Lego table that kept me busy while all the pictures were going on. The best part of it was playing with my cousins Caleb & Madison.

Don't blame me...I had NO control over it....

Last Friday night, daddy was working and mommy had Nutcracker rehearsal (yep, she's in the Nutcracker...another story for another blog entry) so I went to stay with mommy's friend Mrs. Karen. Mrs. Karen has 4 boys so having me over there was no big deal. After we ate dinner, Mrs. Karen and Mr. Robert loaded me up with their other kids and we went to see a UNT hockey game! Things were going ok until Mrs. Karen decided that I wasn't dressed warm enough for the hockey game and she needed to put me in one of her son's sweatshirts. Unfortunately the sweatshirt was burt orange and said "Texas" across the front. I didn't have the words in me to tell her to take it off so I had to deal with it until mommy arrived to rescue me. Despite the sweatshirt, I did LOVE the hockey game...who knows, maybe I'll grow up to be a hockey player.

A Night at the Drive-In

Mommy, daddy, & I all did something for the first time last night...we went to the drive-in. It was GREAT! We packed the back of the car with pillows and blankets and we watched "Bee Movie". I liked watching the bees but got a little overwhelmed with the story. It was good that I could play around in the car when I wasn't interested in the movie.

This is the drive-in we went to. We tried to get pictures of the screen while we were there but it was just too dark.

See all of our pillows and blankets. Mommy even brought me a pre-movie, movie...Boz. It kept me entertained until the real movie started.

A nice lady beside us offered to take a picture. She was excited that it was our first time to the drive-in.
Daddy snapped this random picture of me...and mommy with her funnel cake (mommy loves funnel cakes).

Not again...

Yesterday at preschool we had a Fall Party and I got my very own balloon. Daddy put the balloon up last night so that I'd have it to play with today. When mommy & I were outside taking pictures, she let me play with the balloon. It happened again...I let go of the balloon and mommy wasn't there to catch it. Bye bye balloon.

Itsy Bitsy Spider

Last week we went to the Fall Festival at the church. I was all dressed up and had a great time but mommy didn't get any pictures there...maybe because she was too busy chasing me through the halls of the church. Hummm....

Since she had no pictures, she decided to dress me up today and get some pictures in the backyard. I loved my costume this year. I didn't even try to take off the hat.

Arboretum

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.

Study My Moves

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.

Get It

Warning...my sad face might melt your heart.

Oh No

It had to happen....

I have a Balloon!

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.

Welcome Cousin Aiden

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.

First Day of Preschool Pals!

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:

What I enjoyed most: "I loved everything! Mostly lunch!

Comments: "He had a great day-what a cool kid!"

Can't wait until Tuesday when I get to go back!

Repeat After Me

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.

Walk to D'Feet

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.

Nap Mat

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!

Car Shopping?

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!
