Playtime with Caroline!!!!!

This was our Sunday afternoon!!!!  Cousin Caroline made the trek from the great North and we spent a little time playing on Sunday afternoon.  We rode tricycles the up and down the sidewalks downtown around Aunt Mary and Uncle A's house.  Caroline learned to pedal herself this weekend, Will on the other hand.....why would he pedal, when he can hop on his and anyone within arms reach and just push him using the handle??? 

We played in the yard, walked on the wall by the sidewalk, had a visit with Freckles, played kickball and listened to the thunder and watched the rain.  It was a packed afternoon that was topped off by a delicious supper that Wiz prepared.   We were able to get on back to the house in between the storms.  Will and Caroline had the best time!!!!

Enjoy this little show!!!

Goofy Friday night.....

After work on Friday, I loaded up and headed to the farm.  Pops and T were off to Savannah to pick up a new dog and the two of us headed out to feed the calves.  Ewee just walked right in and picked up the bucket and said, "more corn.....more corn".  Kid is too smart.  We got the calves fed and walked around the barn a little bit.  Kisses and hugs to Pops and T and we headed on to the house.

I don't think that the kid too one breath on the way home.  He was talking about everything under the sun; I think that he tried to use every single word in his vocabulary!!!!  He was really funny complaining about the sun being too bright.  He was say"too bright", put his hands over his face, then he would let out the funniest laugh. Almost like a short, low giggle while he was looking at me.  He was just cutting up so much and was too funny.

We made it to Matheson Road and played in the backyard, pushing his tractor and trucks around.  And what beautiful spring afternoon would be complete if we did not take the tricycle out for a spin?  The kid is obsessed with riding through puddles and he will let you know that he wants to ride through the puddles.  If there are no puddles, he is kinda vocal about his displeasure about it.  We had a great time riding up and down the ramp at the pharmacy, riding down the parking lot and made our way to the house to get supper ready.

We ate supper and then it was time to get our bath ready.  He likes to pull his shirt over his head and then go look at it in the mirror.   I really don't think that he is that much of a ham....do you???We read "lotsa books" before bed tonight and just cuddled.  He is the greatest!!!!

A GREAT Birthday!!!!!!

I could not have asked for a better day.  My Birthday AAAAANNNNNDDDDD It was my night with Ewee!!!!!!!!!!

Got off a little early this afternoon and headed to the farm.  Ewee, MaBo and T were all there and we had a private concert from Ewee.  He was tickling the ole ivories of the piano.  He was showing off his tunnel and playing all over the house.  As tradition dictates, T make whatever you want for your birthday dinner.  For the first time in I don't know how long, I deviated from the normal and requested a traditional Irish dinner.  T made Corned Beef, Cabbage and potatoes.  WOW!!!!!!!!!!  Ate a little too much, but it was DEEEEEEE LISSH!!!!!!!

And to make the celebration a little sweeter (no pun intended), topped it all off with a green velvet cake decorated by my little buddy.  He told T that one of the decorations was a green bean.  Well......it could be!!!!  The kid ain't dumb!!!!

The creation....Green Velvet with Cream Cheese Frosting.....and a few green beans!!

Posing with his creation!!!

Love the devilish grin....

Helping Daddy bow out the candle

Concentration....

Will gave me all of my cards and presents and we finished up the festivities.  We had a kiddo that appeared to be doing ANYTHING to avoid sitting still.  I think he was afraid he might fall asleep.  We came on to the house and got a bath, and had an extra long "snuggle with Daddy" session.  We even got to talk to Uncle Buck and Bailey!!!!  Kiddo didn't make it through the second book and was cashed.  I could have sat there all night! 

Thank you Momma, Daddy, MaBo and Ewee!!!!  I could not have asked for a better day!!!!

Love,

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!!!

A Little Leprechaun left this for me today!!!!!!  He got moves....FO SHO!!!!!!!

"Daaaaaaaaadeeeeeeeeeee"!!!!!!!!!!

After a pretty good day at work, I went to folks house to pick up Ewee...  T had made supper and MaBo was there to eat with us.  Will was WIDE open when I walked in the door.  I can tell you there is NOTHING better than when you have not seen him in a few days, you walk in the door, he screams "Daaaaadeeeeeeeeeee", runs up and gives big hugs and big kisses.  THAT....my friends is priceless.  It'll wipe away any ill you may have before you can blink.

After watching Ewee show off, we got our coats and hats on and went out to the barn to work on Pop's tractor.  We could not get out there quick enough for Will.  He was running ahead of us, turning around to look back at us and then run a little further.  He was sooooooooo excited to get on the "Biiiiiiiiiig traaaackter".  He helped me move the tractor out of the barn so we could work on it and just sat there talking up a storm.  That boy LOVES a tractor.  While Pops was getting some parts ready he walked out and helped me feed the calves.  He kept saying, "Ewee feed the cows..... not gonna getchu".   He then tried to run through the remaining puddles that left from the last rains.  Thank you T for the "farm boots".

We came in and had one of my favorite meals.  Will sure did like it as well....  T made my Grandmother's pork chops, green beans, yellow rice and biscuits.  He ate a VERY good plate of food and I am just so lucky that he is not a picky eater.  We celebrated MaBo's birthday with cupcakes with green and white icing and I think that was his favorite part!!!!  Oh yeah....and the grapes!!!!  Kid LOVES grapes.

The time change makes coming inside and getting ready for bed a little hard.  There was still plenty of daylight and Will wanted to ride his tricycle.  I told him that we would ride tomorrow, so we will hit the streets when we get to the house.  Bath was quick, "Snuggle with Daaaadeee" time was fun, story time was neat (we got a new Dr. Seuss book from T) and I had a tired little boy on my hands.  He did rock for a little bit and let me scratch his back.  I love you Will!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MaBo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Birthday props got out to an AWESOME lady.  If I live to be half the person she is when I am 85, I will be doing well.  And the only reason I put her age on this blog is because she has put it all over FaceBook!!!!  I still laugh out loud when I think about my 85 year old Grandmother being on FaceBook.  She is a pretty cool gal!!! Glad that we live across the street and can share visits with crackers and muffins and cold water out of the mason jar in the fridge!!!!  The visits are an integral part of Will's life and we enjoy every minute!

Happy Birthday to you MaBo!!!!!!!!

Love,

Cars and Trucks, Creeks and a Hoppin Good Time....

Of course, on a Saturday, we are up earlier than we are during the week.  Just would like to know how kids have the innate ability to do that...  A question to be pondered for many more generations to come.  Anywhoo....  We had big breakfast this morning and he was already talking about going outside.   So we got dressed and headed out for a visit with Nana and Bop Bop Pursley.   They could just sit and watch that kid for hours I am convinced.  He had his A game on this morning and was performing like a champ.  He was telling them all kinds of stuff, words flowed like water and they were amazed.  After some of Nana's cookies and trying to help Bop Bop hook a trailer and a car together, we loaded up and had a short nap.  When he woke up from his nap, I was in my room folding clothes and I heard him on the monitor and he was talking to himself; well, more like whispering to himself.  He kept saying "Daddy's here...Daddy gonna get you", then he would laugh out loud.  I just sat there and listened to him, beaming all the while!!!

After lunch, we got dressed, loaded up the tricycle and headed to woods.  The weather was so great today and the outdoors was calling...and Will was hollering back at it.  We rode with the windows down (the heat was on high) talking about everything that passed by his window.  The Harrington boys were waiting for us to get to the house so that we could load up and do a little exploring. We ran around the back yard for a little bit and then we hit the trial that heads down to the creek behind their house.  Will was ready to throw some sticks and rocks in the water.  On the way, every time that he  saw a little puddle of water, he would want to stop and I had to tell him that he was going to see a big creek when we got there.  He was excited to say the least. 

After a long hike and running in the backyard while Evan was hitting the ball, Ewee was fading fast.  He drank a juice with the boys and then we loaded up to head home for an afternoon nap.  We didn't even make it out of the neighborhood and he was cashed.  Out like a light.  He barely roused when I got him out of the truck.  He did sit up and look at me when I put him in the bed, but that did not last long!!!  He had sooooo much fun!!!

Ewee had a good nap this afternoon and popped up asking about Kate Kate.  We had dinner plans with the Bentley's and he was ready to see Kate Kate.    When we got there, he was a little shy , but it wasn't long before he warmed up to playing.  We watched Kate ride in her car, chased the basketball and jumped on the trampoline.

As always, we had a kickin' supper with the Bentley's and had a great time being with friends!!!  Kate's hair was HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friday night fun....

So after a long week, we just kept it low key......  I picked up a hyped up kiddo who had been playing outside all day long.  He was talking up a storm and telling me about all kinds of things.  Some of them he had been doing today, some he just was pulling from his ever increasing vocabulary... kid can talk....I don't know where he gets that from, but he can talk!!!!

We played in the yard for about 20 seconds and then hit the streets on the tricycle.  I continue to try and work with Will on pedaling on the tricycle, but he is not that into it!!!!  We hit Matheson Road and on to the pharmacy parking lot.  He was sadly disappointed that there were no water puddles to ride through.  He love riding through "tunnel" and up and down the ramp....and up and down, and up and down, and up and down....  none the less, we have a good time.

To satisfy a guilty craving I have been having, we ordered a Papa Johns Pizza.  I think I may have created a monster.  The kid LOVED pizza.  Ate it as fast as I would give it to him.  We cleaned up super and hit the bath.  It did not take long for a full belly and a warm bath to take effect.  A tired little man was cuddled up in the chair with Daddy and eye lids were heavy. 

Nite Nite little man.....

Another visit with Wiz!!!!!

We had a great day with Uncle A, Aunt Mayree (as Will calls her) and cousin Elizabeth. After a sleepy morning, we got dressed and headed to the Jones'.  Elizabeth had cooked a delicious lunch and we all sat and enjoyed the good food, company and conversation.  Of course, the little star was center stage and was showing off; he was VERY chatty and was a continuous source of entertainment.  With the weather still as beautiful as ever, we got up and headed out to get a little sunshine and take Aunt Mary around the block for some exercise.  Thank you goes out to little Caroline for letting Will take her tricycle out for a spin.  It was such a beautiful day.....

"I am NOT going to look at the camera Daddy..."

WIDE OPEN!!!!!

And coming back at ya....

LOVE ...THIS...FACE!!!!!

Family...What it is all about!

Reaaaallllllly Daddy???

Look at that face...

What is that noise????

He was pointing at something, but I LOVE the crazy hair!!!

Hugs to Wiz!!!!!

We made a few new friends in Gus and Freckles, who are neighbors and loved playing with Will, but he was kind of wanting to keep going around the block.  He heard the fountain in the backyard of a house and went exploring a little.  He was a little irritated that we could not go in the backyard to see it, but I did pick him up and show it to him through the fence.   It was approaching nap time and Elizabeth had a few more friends to see before she heads back North, so we loaded up and headed to the house. 

Nap time was not in order until we made a round on the tricycle and ride through a few puddles.  It just makes him giggle.  Too cute!!!  We have been trying to work on pedaling the tricycle, but why would he do that when he has Daddy to do the pushing??!!??  As his enthusiasm began to wain, nap time was imminent, so, we headed back towards the homestead. 

I wish every weekend was like this one.......

C.P.R. and Will......

Now I know THAT title got your attention.  We had an AWESOME weekend!!!!!  Picked Will up for Pops and T on Friday afternoon and hit the dinner table...he ate like a champ.  Loaded up and wend to see Corky, Paula and Rowan(C.P.R); they were in town for the weekend to visit and we made plans for some play time for the kiddos.  They both did so good together and Rowan tried to help Will understand the concept of sharing.  She is so patient with Will.  They were building castles and playing with cars in the floor as proud parents, grandparents and a spry Great Grandma J watched on.  Of course, it is always good to have a chance to sit and visit with Corky's family.  We wound up the night with hugs and kisses and of course we did not have the camera out when that was happening.  He was just grinning from ear to ear.  After all that playing, I had one tuckered out lil man on my hands and we both fell asleep in the rocking chair.   Those are the best nights!!!

Saturday's weather was the best that we have seen in a LOOOOOOOOOONG time.  When Will got up, we made big breakfast and sat around watching his favorite cartoons.  One show that he loves to watch is Super Why on Public TV.  He amazes me when he watches this show.  It is about finding letters and and words, so he watches VERY intently and screams out the letters as they show them on the TV.  Just leaves me in awe...  After Super Why, he was intent on doing some coloring; so we loaded up the desk with some paper and plenty of color crayons.  He is REALLY into circles!!!!  I told Will that he was going to need a big nap because we had a busy afternoon and the weather was going to be beautiful.  As little fight as he put up, I think he was still a little worn out from playing last night.

We got up from nap time and had a big lunch and it was time to get outside!!!  The sun was shining, not a cloud in the sky and the temperature was perfect.  We got on the tricycle and hit the streets.  We rode down to the parking lot at the pharmacy, hit the ramp a few times, rode through the puddles, and even rode over to the fountain at the hospital. 

He loves to scream at the ducks and throw rocks in the pool.  Looks like I will have to get a load of gravel over to the hospital to replace what he throws!!!  Corky, Paula and Rowan called a little later in the afternoon and said to head over that way.  Rowan had been asking when Will was coming over all afternoon.....  as you can see they had a great time running and playing together. 

"Will......give me my glasses back!!!!!!"

Doing his best Elton John

Exploring....

Determination

Are YOU ready Rowan????

I AM gonna getchew...

Taking a few pointers

  

At least I am taller than SOMEBODY here!!!!

We played and ran and snacked and drank until the sun went down and the temps made us go inside.  The kids played a little more inside and then it was time to head back to Matheson Road.  We ate some dinner, got a much needed bath and then the two of us settled in to watch a little bit of The Bee Movie.  I think that we both kinda drifted off and we even skipped story time.  WHAT A DAY!!!!

Love,
