This wedding stuff has got me to think.....

about who I will marry one day. First, I told Daddy that I could marry Papa and Noni and he said that I would marry a girl. So, I said I'd just marry Mommy because I already love her. Then, when I told Mommy that, she said it was sweet but I needed someone closer to my own age. Then it happened... I had no idea that marriages were still arranged in this day and age but.... they said I could marry Laney and if she didn't want to marry me that Haven would be just fine. On the way to Wal-Mart I saw a field and said, "Mommy that is where me and Laney will get married one day when we grow up." She said we could find a nice church since it will be prettier than a field. Isn't it wonderful?????? Maybe I should start saving my "dollars" for a ring?

I was one cool dude today...

at Heathe and Julie's wedding. I was excited about carrying the pillow, but it's a good thing that it didn't have the rings on it. Because, I carried it up the aisle like it was a football. It had these neat strings on it just so I could twist and swing it around during the ceremony. All the things you can do with a pillow: Swing it, Step on it, Put it on your head, Twist it around and around, Sit on it..... just in case you ever need to know.

I enjoyed being up front with the big guys. I also enjoyed playing with BepBep and my little cousin Avery since I rarely get to see her. When Mom asked what my favorite thing was I said, "either Heathe's cake that was a real FedEx truck or ringing the bell." I was more excited about getting to eat in a tent than I was being handsome. I got lots of compliments and sweet looks. Everyone was proud of me and I did a good job for having missed my nap. I am tired now so I am going to go to sleep. Sweet dreams.

Daddy and Papa are going on trips...

Papa leaves tomorrow and Daddy leaves Sunday they will be gone a week. I thought about just going along on the trip to Vegas with Daddy since I can fit in his suitcase.

I actually laughed

at preschool drop-off this morning. I know.... it was a big deal. I haven't cried at all this week. I was excited to see Mom though when she picked me up. I couldn't wait to tell her about my day. I will tell anyone that will listen about what I did at school. Today, I reported that 2 people got sent to time out which made me sad. Also, I got to be the lead "pray-er" today. I'm learning lots of church prayers. I was eager to call today "a great day at school". Mommy said, "thank Jesus." It is about time I quit giving her a hard time huh?

Tomorrow is Heathe's wedding and I am acting like I'm excited. Only I know if I'll really walk up that aisle........... tune in for the full report tomorrow nite.

I had to go see Misty today

because my nose is "stuffiny" still. She gave Mommy a prescription for some cough syrup and said I was just fine. I really love Misty and gave away a couple hugs to her and her nurse, Summer. I weighed 30 lbs and was 37 1/4 inches tall. Since January I have grown 1.5 inches and gained 3 lbs. So, for those you that I'm not naming (DADDY) I am growing!!!! I was a good boy so I got a sticker. Then, Mommy took me for an "apple flush" at Sonic.

I took an early nap because we were meeting Noni and Papa at Shorty Small's for dinner. Mommy ordered me my usual- Queso and Chips but I ate everything but that. I ate a bunch of Noni's chicken off of her salad. I also ate Mom's bun from her grilled chicken sandwich and her fries. It was yummy. This was a good day.

Another good day at school

When Mommy dropped me off today I didn't cry. I have done really good all week despite my nose being "stuffiny". I needed my Mommy to rock me last night cause I couldn't breathe. We've been working on our numbers at school and my teacher says that I am doing a really good job. Everyone is so proud of me. I am beginning to ask alot of questions about Papa and Daddy both being gone on trips next week- Mommy may be in for a long week........ she'd better take her vitamins and naps ya know. Bye.

Today was my best day at drop-off

I hugged and kissed Mommy and headed inside with Ms. Christie. I know you are all proud of me and I can't wait to tell you all about it. We got to go outside on the playground too. Mommy was afraid we wouldn't because it was looking like it was going to rain. When Ms. Catherine brought me out to Mommy she told her that I was a wonderful little boy and so mannerly and well behaved. This seemed to surprise Mommy since I am a terror at home but oh well at least I put on a good front in public.

When I woke up this morning I remembered all on my own that it was Mommy's birthday! It made her heart melt when I asked her if she was excited cause I sure am.

Today was really a big day for me.......

woke up early for school this morning. I did good at home and didn't cry while Mommy was getting ready (this was the first time that I didn't). All the way to school I was excited cause Mommy said that Papa was coming with her to pick me up from school and that we were going to have a picnic. I am telling you I was so excited, then it happened....... the teacher opened the truck door and I started crying and kissing Mommy a million times. I was fine though once they got me off of Mom.

Papa was riding with Mommy and they got to see me line up from recess on the playground. It was time to go inside and get out backpacks on. I loved seeing them parked in the pick up line. Then, it was off to the park but there was only one problem. Mommy couldn't find the road to get us there. It was a nice park that we'd never been to. Ms. Diana told Mom about it and it was cool. I had alot of fun there but we couldn't stay that long because I had to poop and you know me I have to do that at my house or Noni and Papa's house. Mommy said we could go back there soon.

We went home and took a nap and when I woke up Mommy said that we were going to the FAIR!!!! I loved it. Daddy rode a few rides with me and Mommy took pictures. I rode a couple things by myself too. I wish we could go there all the time but it only comes once a year. Mommy says that it is worth being ripped off because I had so much fun there. I also loved the animals they were smelly though. I am tired so I'm going to sleep. Later peeps...

My bathtime conversation with Mommy

Tonight while Mommy was giving me a bath I asked her if God made me and she said yes. Then I said, "Well, how does God make us." Mommy says, "He just can he makes everything." Then I said perhaps the funniest thing ever..... "I know how he does it Mommy, with sucker sticks and a coffee pot." Pretty cleaver huh, bettcha didn't know that.

How school is going these days....

today was the 3rd school day in a row that I didn't cry at school. However, it is still turning into quite a scene at home. Mommy has tried everything. But, today she had an opportunity to talk to my teacher who said things are going very well. She mentioned that I always have good days and that I'm very eager to please. Mom felt a little better after that. Maybe things will improve at home as well. Keep your fingers crossed.

What will happen if you eat too many Pepto Kids tablets

your Mommy will have to call the Pepto Phone Line and tell them approximately how many you ate. In my case, there were 10 tablets unaccounted for. I'm swearing I only had 2 though. Mommy got suspicious when I offered her one. She found the bottle opened (so much for Kid Proof bottles) and started counting.

By the way, don't ever do this. It didn't hurt me either.

My first stomach virus....

and it ain't fun. It started yesterday afternoon when I woke up from my nap with a headache. Mommy gave me some medicine and I told her that I wanted to lay back down. That just isn't like me so she new something was up. She also checked and I had fever. I asked to go to bed and you all know that never happens around here. Once I went to sleep Mommy noticed that I was crying and talking. So, she woke me up and I had a good fever. More medicine and I got to sleep with Mommy. Then it happened, I got a tummy ache. But, the good news is that it is now noon and I'm playing like normal. No fever in several hours. Glad it didn't last long.

Preschool Playground

mainly because we got to go on the playground. We all took turns swinging and playing ball. I was excited to see Mommy in the pick-up line though. I was better today than any of the other days. Everyone was so proud of me!

Today was much better at Drop-Off

I woke up and watched TV while Mommy was getting ready. I refused to eat or drink anything- even cookies and milk. So, when Mommy got me dressed and answerd 40 million questions about when she was coming to pick me up and how long it would take we left. Mommy was sooooo excited that I was going to get to play outside and I got excited too on the way there. I started getting a little nervous but made it just fine. When we pulled up to the drop-off I gave Mommy 2 hugs and 2 kisses then said "Bye Bye Mommy I love you please come back for me." Mommy said she'd be back at our usual time. I'll update more later about my playground ok.

This morning at Preschool drop-off

I turned into a psycho little boy. I kicked, yelled to the top of my lungs, slung my arms around, pulled Mommy's hair and probably some other things too. It was just awful. Actually, I started crying yesterday that I didn't want to go- that I wanted to stay at home with Mommy. When I woke up this morning it started and I cried for nearly the whole hour that it took Mommy to get ready. It was hard on her but she didn't cry (well, not in front of me) and consistently told me that I was staying at school, she loved me, and I would have a good time. The teachers were surprised by my behavior and asked Mommy to pull off from the drop zone to make sure that I would be ok. They came out after 5 minutes and said I was just fine. I think I might be in trouble........I know Mommy was embarrassed and I don't feel a bit bad about it!! I just wanted to stay home with her.

It was a great birthday for my Daddy!!!

First thing when I woke up this morning I ran to wake Daddy up by saying, "Happy Birthday". Mommy had suggested that we go to the Alligator Farm in Hot Springs to celebrate but since the weather was bad we ended up going to Chuck-E-Cheese (Mom's favorite place NOT). But, we gave Daddy his cards first and he loved my Spongebob card that I decorated for him. We had a blast playing games and riding things. I can't tell you how happy I was that Mommy wanted to celebrate Daddy's birthday there AND we even got to eat there! What a day.

Daddy if you are reading this I hope you enjoyed your Birthday as much as Mommy and I did. We love you more than all the candy in the world!!!! Happy Birthday!

It was a fun day at Papa's

I was glad when Daddy said that he had to work on Noni's pugger again because that meant we got to play at their house. Mommy said that Rudy and I were testing her nerves so poor Rudy had to stay at home. We rode the Grizzly, roasted marshmallows, raked, worked with tools, played with BepBep and anything else that I wanted to do. It was a great day!! I was so tired that I took a nap there too.

We came home and had a bath then Dylan and Seth came over to play. We had lots of fun playing with all my new tools and saws. I was pooped out when we went to bed. Tomorrow is daddy's birthday so they came over to bring his cards. I got him a Spongebob Squarepants card that Mommy let me pick out all by myself. Mommy told me not to tell him cause it was a secret so I was whispering to daddy and said, "I got you a Spongebob card and it's a secret". Mommy and Daddy cracked up at me. She tried her best to get me to color it today but I told her I couldn't until tomorrow when it is his birthday. I love when other people have a birthday!!!

Mommy took this picture of my sleeping yesterday with the "magic pink covers". She thinks I am so sweet when I'm asleep.

A visit from Papa's Brother

I didn't quite to know what to make of Papa having a brother. I have only seen him twice in my life but his name is Uncle Ron. Noni and Papa brought him to my house. I took up with him right away because, of course, he is Papa's brother. Here is a picture of him but it is kinda blurry.

I attempted to be a Preschool dropout today

but it didn't work. My Mommy was stronger than I. I tried to tell her that I was tired and my throat hurt and I might go next week - but none of it worked. She didn't even feel sorry for me like she used to last year. Boy, what a difference a year makes. She actually got mad at me and told me we were going to have a very serious talk. I am sure this was one of several. But, I went on to school and Mom made me get out at the drive thru. I didn't cry but I had tears in my little eyes. Mommy just drove off.

She came back to get me and I told her that I didn't cry when she drove off. I am sticking to my story that I went into my classroom and sat down at my table for a minute, then I played at the work bench. I will not lie I was sad but I didn't cry. I did ask my teacher one time when my Mommy would be back for me. I was so happy to see Mommy in the drive thru line!!

Thank you 'Aunt Ronni'

for the really cool coloring book and crayons that you sent me Priority Mail. I've been coloring with Mommy since Rudy doesn't want to color with me:(

It is really nice of you to mail me stuff all the time- I love checking the mail as you all know!!!

Yep, I'm Catholic

Mommy forgot to tell you all that today when she and I were eating lunch at Chick-Fil-A I made the sign of the cross all on my own. Mommy and Daddy have been trying to teach me this for awhile and I usually mess up but I paid attention when my teachers taught me today!! Mommy was so proud and I know Daddy, Noni, and BepBep will be too. Here is what I did.

Mommy opening up our food
Me: Mommy let's pray because we are about to eat food.
Mommy: Ok, can you pray Luke?
Me: Sure, dipping my fingers into my Coke as if it is Holy Water.
Mommy: Watching in amazement
Me: Correctly placing fingers on forehead, "Name of the Father, Son, and Spearlee Holy, Amen
Spearlee Holy aka Holy Spirit.

Mommy: Luke, I am so proud of you why won't you do that for me and Daddy
Me: Cause I'm a big kid at school, when our teachers started the prayer before our snack I told them that this was the stuff we say at our house before we eat.
Mommy: Well good at least they know we say "stuff" before we eat at our house.

My first day as a St. Joe Bulldog

Wow, I had to wake up really early today. Daddy went to work a little late this morning so that he could go with Mom to drop me off at school. I was really happy about this. I seemed so excited that Mom didn't think I'd even cry. However, this is one time that Daddy was right. I did cry when we got there. But, my teacher told Mommy that I was fine after 5 minutes and had a great first day. It was pouring down this morning so I didn't get to play on my new playground but maybe Friday I can. I've had a little bit of a smart mouth today (thank goodness not at school).

On the way to school Daddy was saying that I had a smart mouth like Mommy does and that I'm high maintenance just like her too. Well, Mommy told him that I was just like him NOT her. My Mommy is sweet.... So I said to Daddy, "I'm happy that you are going to work". Mommy and Daddy both thought that this was funny.

Then, when Mommy picked me up from school we went to eat lunch at Chick-Fil-A and started grinning really big and Mommy knew what I was about to say and tried to stop me but I went ahead and said it loudly, "I pooted Mom."

On the way home I asked Mommy where we were going and she said, "home so you can take a nap." I said, "No Deal Mom and that doesn't even make sense." My smart little mouth gets me in trouble sometimes ya know. Whew, I'm tired so I am going to take a nap. Catch ya later. Oh, Mommy took some pictures of course and the first one was through the truck window during the rain, but it is of me and my new class waiting at the drop off point to be picked up.

I met an "older woman"

and her name is Jillian aka Jilli. She is a mini version of her mom, Julie. I enjoyed hanging out with them. I love Uncle Heaffer and I am glad that he brought them over. We had fun running around outside while Mommy and Julie cooked dinner. We had Cavatini, bread, and salad. I wanted my plate to look exactly like Jilli's so Julie fixed it that way. I gave away lots of hugs tonight to Uncle Heaffer and Julie and even Jilli! She brought Barnyard and we watched it together and colored too. It was a really cool evening and I didn't want my new friend to leave but she actually goes to bed at night and sleeps-unlike myself!
