P-A-R-T-Y!!

Mom & Dad were right!! Today was a FUN day!! In fact, it was down right full of FUN! I got to see so many family and friends, and of course, I was oh-so-popular today! I got to work the crowd and spend time with just about everyone.

Of course, Mom took tons of pictures of the day, but she said she was too tired to put them all up tonight. So here are some highlights....of me, of course!!

My new baseball!! My Grandpa brought it for me, and since my Uncle Gary & Aunt Jane brought me a glove, I figure I am all ready to start practicing tomorrow! Thanks Grandpa, Uncle Gary, and Aunt Jane!!

You know what I learned about a lot of fun? It makes you really tired! By the end of the day, I was whipped like cream! I took a snooze with my Uncle George.

I am one lucky boy because I have a lot of great people in my life who love me. Thanks everyone for coming over to our house and playing with me!

Let the Festivities Begin!

Boy, oh boy!! The fun has finally started!! After a whole week of sitting around watching Mom and Dad work, the weekend of fun they promised is finally here! Of course, Mom and Dad were still working hard, but I didn't have to sit around and watch anymore. I had plenty of folks around to keep me company!

First, Shannon & Sadie Peters came over to hang out and help out. Then, my Aunt Jane & Uncle Gary pulled in. Everyone was pitching in to help get ready for tomorrow's big party. Uncle Gary hung out with me the most. We were on the swing, and walking around...I even helped him run his yard sale out front! Then, our friends Steve and his daughter, Sydney stopped by. Sydney and Aunt Jane both fed me dinner while Mom and Dad ran out to get all the food for tomorrow. When Billy & Joni from Corning Catering stopped by to drop off tables, I was right out there to see them and give lots of smiles and even a few giggles.

Just when I thought things couldn't get any more fun, Uncle George & Aunt Lu Lu pulled in with thier big camper. Cousins Karlie & Jenna were with them. I only got to spend a little time with them though, because Mom said I had to get to bed, but she promised that tomorrow I would have lots more time to see them. She also said that if I thought today was fun, just wait until tomorrow. She said even more friends and family are coming over to our house for a BIG picnic!! I can't wait!!

Here is a photo with me and one of my most loyal blog viewers...my Aunt Lu Lu!! She checks my blog everyday and leaves lots of comments for Mommy and I to read together. Look, we even matched!!

Hangin' with Aunt Amy

Well, today didn't seem too much different than every other day this week with Mom & Dad both working hard around the house and yard to get ready for the weekend festivities....expect today I had someone to play with me! My Aunt Amy! She is actually my mom's cousin, but they are like sisters, so she that makes her my aunt. She came down from Rochester this morning to keep an eye on me for the day. I was on my best behavior all day!

So tomorrow starts the weekend festivities around here. I can't wait for the fun to begin!! Oh, and about pictures...Mom was too busy today to catch any good ones, but I know for sure there will be lots of pictures to share over the weekend!

Feelin' HOT, HOT, HOT!

Mom had a dentist appointment this morning so she took me along. I wasn't having any fun sitting and watching her get her teeth cleaned, so the ladies out front entertained me while Mom finished up. I like meeting new people and these ladies just thought I was the cutest thing ever!

I also went with Mom today to pick out flowers, and WOO-WEE...it was hot! I was sweating just sitting there. I made a new friend with one of the ladies at the nursery. She kept stopping to see me every time she walked by. I seem to have a real way with the ladies!!

Things finally cooled down later in the afternoon when we had a thunderstorm. My doggy, Delia doesn't like the loud thunder, but it doesn't bother me. Once it cooled off, I was finally able to settle down for a good nap. When I woke up, Mom was at the store, so Daddy fixed and fed me my dinner. He is way more fun than Mom because he cheers me through every bite!

I have been hearing that everyone's favorite part of my blog is pictures, so I am going to bug Mom to try and take some every day. I promise to have some new ones tomorrow!!

New Hoop

Guess what we bought today?!! A new basketball hoop! I know I am not quite old enough to play it yet, but I am excited that someday Dad will be able to show me how to play in our own backyard. We were just going shopping at Sam's to get stuff for the party this weekend, and Dad wanted to go by Dick's (again!) to look at the same basketball system (again!) and this time Mom convinced him to go ahead and buy it.

When we got back from all that shopping, I took a long nap. It was so hot in our house! I was sweating in my sleep! Mom finally came in to wake me up around 5:30 so I wouldn't miss dinner. I ate that cereal right up! It wasn't long before it was time to get washed up and go to bed. Boy, the days do go quick sometimes.

Work, then Play

Mom and I spent almost the whole day outside. First was work! Mom worked on finishing up the weeding around the pool so Dad could finish moving the mulch when he got home. I hung out in my stroller in the shade until she finished up. Boy I am glad that mulch is all gone! Mom & Dad have been working on that for weeks! Then it was time for play! We spent a good part of the day by the pool enjoying the sunny day! It was so warm that Mom let me hang out in my birthday suit. It felt so good not to have a big diaper on and just be free!! I eventually fell asleep by the pool while Mom got some sun. Mom said it is important to reward yourself with some fun....once you chores are done!

Sleepy Boy

You know what I did most of today? Sleep! I don't know why I was so tired, but I just felt like napping the day away. I woke up around 7 AM, about my usually time. Mom and Dad brought me into their room to talk and play a little. It wasn't long before I fell back to sleep in their bed. Mom went back to sleep with me. I woke up again around 9:30 and Mom fed me...and I fell back to sleep and didn't wake up until 11 AM! You would think I was a teenager or something!!

Mom and Dad were doing some stuff outside, and they were carting me from here to there as they worked on different things. We all came in for lunch and to relax for a while. Around 2:30, I fell back asleep...and I kept sleeping and sleeping. Mom came in to wake me up around 5 PM. She said she was worried that if I kept sleeping I wouldn't sleep through the night. Plus it was time for dinner.

After that it was back outside for some more chores. This time Mom put my play mat out so I could play while she worked to clean the pool. We came back in around 6:30 PM and Mom fed me...and I fell back to sleep! This time I slept right in Mom's arms which was sooo comfy! It doesn't seem that Mom gets to hold me much while I sleep since usually that is when she gets things done around the house, so Dad made dinner and let Mom and I enjoy the moment together.

After all that sleeping, I still went to bed around my normal time. Mom did let me stay up a little later, but by 9 PM, I was sound asleep. It was just one of those lazy Sundays!
