A Super Weekend (Part 2)

Click on the logo or here for more information!

On Sunday, Grammy and Pop-Pop decided to take me a place that they actually learned about from my Mommy, the Smith Memorial Playground and Playhouse. Just like the name says, there is a large house to play in and several play areas outside. The whole place is just for kids who are 5 years old and younger to have fun and it's also one of Grammy's favorite words... something called "free".* Grammy brought her camera along so, here are some pics that we took while we were there. You can click on each of them for a larger view.

PIC #1: Fairmont Park entrance, front and side views of the playhouse, the giant slide, and several play areas outside. The giant slide was my favorite thing to do outside. Grammy and Pop-Pop took turns riding on it with me. While we were doing that, someone was having a birthday party on the side porch of the playhouse!

PIC #2: After we played outside for a while and rode on the giant slide, Grammy and Pop-Pop wanted to take a break from the hot sun so, we decided to go inside the playhouse. On the first floor, there was another house to play in and a staircase to play on in the corner. A few pics of us on the giant slide are mixed in here too!

PIC #3: Some other things that were on the first floor are a wooden train that was big enough to play on and you know how much I like trains! I also found a big book that had something called "magnetic words" on it. I could move the words around on the book anyway that I wanted to and learn how to say them. Pop-Pop was helping me with the words in the book because some of them were big words that I didn't know how to say.

PIC #4: After I did everything there was to do on the first floor of the playhouse, we decided to go up to the second floor. We found a big room up there with all kinds of toys. Shortly after we got up there, guess what I found? A Thomas, Annie, & Claribelle train on the floor and a big train table! We actually visited the second floor twice, just so that I could play with the trains again.

PIC #5: The last stop in the playhouse for us was the lower level (basement). This was also the coolest place in the playhouse. When we got down there, I found all kinds of trikes, cars, and other things to ride on. They were parked in different places around the room so that the road could be clear for something called "traffic". And, wouldn't you know it... there was even a traffic light down there too!

We had a great time at the Smith Memorial Playground & Playhouse and I may be going back there again with my family later this week. It was a great ending to a fun weekend with Grammy and Pop-Pop. I did miss my little sister Sophia and I can't wait until she is big enough to have fun on these trips with me!

A Super Weekend (Part 1)

On Saturday, me and my little sister Sophia spent some "QT" just chillin' with Grammy and Pop-Pop at their house. Sophia just spent the day there and Pop-Pop took her back home around 8:00pm. I'm a big boy so, they let me spend the night... but, Grammy made me go to bed right after Pop-Pop left to take Sophia home. She said that I was a good boy but, it was just time for me to go to bed. Here are some random pics that Grammy took while we were there and you can click on them for a larger view.

A Website Resource For You...

It is called "Widdly Tinks" and it has all kinds of really neat stuff that you can make to add to Blogger, Facebook, My Space, etc. Check out some of the stuff that Grammy made for us and stop by Widdly Tinks to see what you can create.

TO: All Of Our Family & Friends...

Today, we celebrated our first Memorial Day holiday as a family in our new home. Some of our family and friends dropped by to visit with my parents, play with me, take turns holding my little sister, and watch a few movies. Dad was on the grill so there was plenty of good food and cold stuff to drink, Mommy was busy hosting, and Sophia slept through the whole thing! But, that's okay... after a while, even I got tired and took a nap too.

As always, Grammy brought the camera and took some pics but, this time, she decided to post them in a video (just click the play button if you want to see them). Everybody had a good time and we hope that you had a happy holiday too!

Tuesday's Child Meets Friday's Child

Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.


"I'm a Friday's child! What does THAT mean Grammy?"

The reason me and Grammy decided to call this post "Tuesday's Child Meets Friday's Child" is because, you guessed it... I'm a Tuesday's child and my little sister Sophia is a Friday's child. But, that's okay... I've decided that I'm just gonna love her anyway.

My Mommy took this pic of Sophia and put it on her Facebook page. Me and Grammy saw it and had to "borrow" it for my blog because it was just too cute. So, watch out Mommy... me and Grammy may be "borrowing" some more pics in the days to come!

A Day Just For Mommies

Today is Mother's Day and it seems like everybody everywhere was spending time with their Mommy. Me and Sophia spent the day with our Mommy, Grammy, Pop-Pop, and my Great Grandmother Pumpkin Pie. We all went out to eat together at a place called "The Olive Garden". Then, we went to a special place where my Great Nana Faye is resting and left some flowers there. The flowers are called "red roses" in honor of Mother's Day.

My Mommy and Grammy both had their cameras and here are some pics of our day together. My Mommy took the first pic with her camera and Grammy took most of the other pics with her camera. All of the "Mommies" had a great time and me, Sophia, and Pop-Pop did too.

Random Pics 1

Here are some pics that my Mommy took of me and Sophia at home. The pics of me were taken before and after a recent haircut. I also think that that I would make a great poster boy for "Juicy Juice", don't you? The pics of Sophia were taken while she was awake and while she was sleeping. I kept telling her to "wake up" but, she just sleeps all the time (smile)!

What A Weekend!

Sophia and my Mommy came home from the hospital yesterday so, by the time you read this post, I will back with my family and getting use to life with my little sister. She is so tiny and cute but, she sleeps a lot. I can't wait until she gets a little bigger and stops sleeping so much so that we can play together. When Pop-Pop and Grammy took me home, they stayed for a little while and took turns holding Sophia while she slept.

My Mommy is really happy that my little sister is finally here because next Sunday is "Mother's Day". Now, she is looking forward to spending that day with both of us. We usually get together with Grammy and Pumpkin Pie to celebrate that special day so, be sure to check back next week for more pics. See you then!



I had a nice time with my grandparents. I remembered the house and where everything was so, I made myself right "at home". When me and Mommy moved, Grammy decided that she would hold on to my Thomas & Friends train collection for safe keeping and I was really glad to see it again. I had lots of other Thomas stuff that I could take with me to my house so, it worked out okay. She moved all of it to the room that I use to share with my Mommy so, they were in a new place. I just kept looking around the house until I found them and I had a ball playing with them. Me and Grammy built a train track all around the bed and under it too. I played with it for hours!


Me and Pop-Pop were "on the go" in the car a lot and we even had breakfast at one of our favorite spots, The Trolly Car Diner. He wanted to take me to the playground but, it was raining the whole time I was at their house. I don't like it when my sunshine is taken away so, I had to find some fun things to do in the house. I spent some time laughing and rolling on the floor with my "Elmo" that Great Nana Faye gave me. It was good to see him again too because he hasn't made the trip over to my house yet. Grammy made me some popcorn and we watched The Wizard of Oz together, just like ol' times. I also watched a lot of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.


I enjoyed spending time with Grammy and Pop-Pop again but, when it was time to go home and be with my little sister, I was more than ready to answer the call of "big brother!"

My Little Sister Is Here (Part 2)!

At the end of the day, me and Pop-Pop picked up Grammy from work and headed over to the hospital to meet little Sophia. She was s-o-o-o tiny! I can already see that she's going to need a "big brother" to look out for her and I'm just the boy for the job!

After our visit, everyone went home so that my Mommy could get some rest. She was very happy about little Sophia being here but, she was also very tired. She told me that she should be coming home with my new little sister on Sunday. Until then, I'll be hangin' out at Grammy and Pop-Pop's house!

My Little Sister Is Here (Part 1)!

6lbs + 15ozs; 19 + 1/2 inches

My Mommy went to the hospital yesterday afternoon to have my little sister. My Dad is at the hospital too and I'm at my Grammy and Pop-Pop's house right now. Mommy called us on the phone at 4:30am this morning to tell us that little Sophia was here.

My little sister's first and middle names are very special because "Sophia" is my Mommy's middle name and "Ina" is my Nana's (Dad's Mom) first name. Because she was born on May 1st, Grammy said that she is something called a "Taurus" (The Bull), just like her Daddy! What in the world is that, Grammy?

Grammy is going to work today so, it's Me & Pop-Pop Day! We are planning to go and meet my little sister when Grammy gets off from work. You know that Grammy will be taking the camera so, be sure to check back later for pics of little Sophia!
