brothers! and other stuff!

my brothers and grandma ruth were here for a while. awesome! we played and ate and went to museums and played some more. one day we even got to go to uncle galen's to have lunch. i loved having them all here.





jonah and sam also tried really hard to help me learn how to throw and catch a football. they said it was a challenge.



the day after my brothers left i had maverick's birthday party at chick fil a. lots of fun and all my friends were there. after that mommy and i went shopping, then came home and watched mountaineer basketball. so exciting! i shouted and cheered the whole time.

on sunday i got to do something really great. after church mommy and daddy took me to see the dragon movie. i was really well-behaved and loved watching the dragons fly and eat fish.

now i'm just getting ready for the easter bunny. i have a feeling he's going to bring me toys and candy!

also, look at this picture of me and ro!

they came back!

mom and dad finally came back from their trip with the polar bears. i'm so happy to see them and so glad to be home.

staying at gram's was great, though, and uncle jeff took me out a bunch and even took me for ice cream!

getting ready for grandma ruth and my brothers to come next week. can't wait.

had fun playing dress up tonight and scary mommy. cool, huh?

slackers

my slacker parents have been keeping me captive. no internet access for me, oh no. and all because i took one measly ballpoint to mom's laptop. sheesh.

in case you were worried, i have NOT been captured by robots.

not too much new around here. i've been playing in the snow as much as i can but i'm ready for spring. i want to take a blanket outside and have a picnic. i want to put up my tent and play with my toys under the sun. i want to ride my bike!

i have become a very efficient sled rider, though!

happy birthday to me!!!

i'm three! i'm big! how cool!

i had a great birthday weekend. on sunday, my actual birthday, mom and dad really spoiled me. i got uncle donald's for breakfast and then i opened my presents from mom and dad. they got me lots of stuff but i liked my fireman sam fire truck and my playdoh the best. so much fun! then they let me pick where to go for lunch. i picked damon's. i love that place. we watched the vikings and the cowboys and mommy and i rooted for the vikings.



after that we went shopping then back home to play with my toys.



on monday we had my pirate party. it was great! i dressed up and played with my cousins. i got lots more nice gifts. i especially liked the "don't break the ice" game aunt jan and uncle chuck got me.



by the time the part was over i was totally beat. i told mommy pirate time was over.

now life is kind of back to normal. our wood is in and we're back at home. i like it that way. and i love being a big boy now!

home!

we're finally home! i had a great time at gram's while the guys were putting the wood in our house, but man am i glad to get home!

i was so excited tonight to see all my stuff. and i was also very excited to see the new floors.

tomorrow mom and i have plans to check out the winter farmers market and run around a bit. that should be fun!

also coming up this weekend? my birthday! three years old! how 'bout that!

happy new year!!!!

what a week we've had.

while we were still in colorado i got to do some really great sled riding. at first i was a little nervous but then i just realized how much fun it was.







the flight back to wv was good and i was a pretty good boy. when we got home i was very excited to see that santa had come!!! he got me this awesome motorcycle and a perfect pink hippo.





a few days later gram, uncle bob, aunt shannon, jack, izzy, uncle galen, aunt jan and uncle chuck came over. we opened presents and ate and laughed. it was a lot of fun. we gave uncle chuck a present that he really loved. i think aunt jan loved it too!



after that it was new year's eve! i got to count down til midnite and drink some sparkling juice. sam made me a crown which i loved.



new year's day we had a bunch of people over, including bill, max and aj. what fun! we played for hours.

since then we've just been relaxing at home. it was a great holiday!
