P.S.

Can you believe this blog just turned 3! Almost as old as me....

The last year has been a good one. I still like a lot of the same things, but am starting to get ready for kindergarten already and have a few new likes and dislikes. Here's an update about ME!
Favorite toys: hotwheels, nascar in particular (some things never change)
Favorite sport: is nascar a sport? I also like soccer, football, and can finally swim on my own
Favorite foods: anything with chocolate or a lot of sugar. I also like hotdogs, tacos, cheeseburgers, noodles, donuts.
Favorite music: boom boom pow still makes me move. When Daddy sings me Grateful Dead songs.
Best buddy: Charlie
Girlfriend: Mommy
What Charlie calls me: Boo
What I look forward to most: a trip to the toy store, Nana coming to visit, going to the State Fair with my friend Caleb, going to the pumpkin patch, and having a party with my friend Abby
Latest Obsession: iPod gaming

Banana Cats

A couple of weeks ago I started soccer. We wear yellow shirts and we gave ourselves the name of Banana Cats. So far I have had two practices and one game. I don't think we won. I tried to have fun, but wasn't really sure what to do. Mom, Dad, and Charlie came to watch me play. Charlie wants to play too. Here are some pictures from our first practice and our first game. Mom also posted some pictures on the right of a fall trip we made to Duke Forest to collect rocks. I think Charlie likes to throw rocks as much as me.

Fit as a Fiddle

My little brother is almost 16 months. He had to go to the doctor's a couple of weeks ago to make sure he was growing well and to get two shots. Mom thought for sure he was built like a line backer, but really he is just below the 50th percentile for weight. Charlie weighs 23 lbs 11 oz and is 31 inches tall! Some of his favorite words are bus, kuku, boo, gooooaaaaal, wash, up plane, car, cow, ball, birds, kids, cuck (he's really trying to say truck), nana, and of course mama and daddy.

NASCAR Baby!

Last weekend mom and dad decided to spoil me. We went on a mini vacation to Charlotte for a night. On the way there we went to the Charlotte Motor Speedway. It was so cool. I got to ride around the track going really fast. Mom will post a video soon. I got to drive thru pit row, victory lane, and see the drag racing track. Mom says my neck looks a little red. I don't get it, but daddy thinks it's funny. After the race track we went to our hotel and then had dinner in a restaurant. We went swimming at the hotel and then I got to run around like crazy. Charlie chased me down the hall. We all slept in one room and I got to sleep in a giant bed with lots of pillows! Then the next day I went to the new Nascar Hall of Fame. We got to see an IMAX movie and lots of Nascar cars and people. After we picked up mom from her workshop we drove home and on the way we passed the Rockingham Speedway! And then the next day Dad took me and Charlie to the Oconeechee raceway. It was a weekend full of racing, whoohoo!! I got two new Nascar toys and a keychain for my lunch box. Mom and dad even took me to Red Robin to eat cheeseburgers and play the driving game. I love when mom and dad spoil me! Check out pictures from our race weekend!

Summer Vacation in Northern Michigan

Last Sunday we got home from our summer vacation in northern Michigan. I had so much fun with all of my cousins! Mom and Dad made sure I stayed busy and stayed out of too much trouble. When I got to Nana's she took me to meet her friend Bert who took me on a ride in an antique fire truck. How many 4 year olds do you know that have taken a firetruck to get ice cream? Then I got to see Joey Lagano's car at home depot and a tank. Aunt Laurie hooked me up with some popcorn. I got to go to the beach, the pool, the playground, the dollar store, a water fountain play area, a candy store, a lighthouse, and even to Pirate putt putt. Charlie had fun too and loved playing in the waves and at the water fountain. We both got to stay up really late at night and got to eat lots of treats! mom says we are in detox. I was happy to get home to play with my cars and to see Mica and Kuku.

Summertime and the living is easy

well for some. I personally have been having a great summer. I am still going to school but we get to learn about things like camping and the beach. One day when Nana was here I got to play hooky from school. First we got to eat ice cream after breakfast, then Nana and I went and drove around town until we found a double bus. We followed it until we could park and get on and then we road it all over town! Then we went to McD for lunch and then to the toy store. It was just about the best day I have ever had. Nana please come back and play hooky with me again soon. Charlie is trying to be as big as me. Daddy calls him the Fat Goat because he can eat anything in site. He usually finishes mommy's dinner and my dinner. And his mouth is full of teeth so he can eat big things like a full cheeseburger or a burrito. He likes to chase the cats and play outside like me. He is also starting to say a few more things like bird, cat, and can roar like a lion. He also tries to sing like Daddy. Next week we get to leave in the middle of the night to fly to Michigan. I can't wait to see all of my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins!

Here are some pictures of our summer so far.
