Big boy bed

On Friday, July 4th, mommy and daddy finished painting my room and putting my new big boy bed together. I have slept in it every night, all night, since. I LOVE my new boat bed. I am SO excited for bedtime so I can go lay down in it! My room is not quite finished yet, mommy and daddy still have to put down the baseboards, trim the windows, build my bookcase/windowseat, and most importantly (says mommy) accessorize! The rest of my furniture should be here Monday (my dresser and nightstand) so mommy can finish offically moving me into my new room. Here are a few pictures mommy took last night when I laid down to go nite-nite. THANKS to my Papa and Nee for my bed. I love it!!

Sweet boy on his way to Sleepy Town

This is my bed (the covers are messy but I don't sleep with my comforter yet so mommy just threw it on the bed to take a picture)

This is with the trundle pulled halfway out. And the bow of the bed is storage. Lots of toys can fit in there (but right now that's where my comforter stays!)

More on Signing the Bus....

Here are some more pictures from last night...

Mommy and me signing the bus - I got to color my own spot and mommy signed our names.

We had a good time - although it was REALLY hot!

Shaking My Tail Feather....

Last night, my mommy, my nana, and I went to Chattanooga to sign the American Cancer Society bus that is traveling the country. They had a live band playing and I LOVE to dance. Check out my moves in the video below. My mommy thinks it is hilarious how I get distracted by cars driving by then automatically start dancing again!!

(OK, my mommy is too dumb to figure out how to rotate the video so you'll have to view it sideways!!)

Daddy's little helper

On Wednesday night, Richie and I were sanding the sheet rock in Michael's new room while Michael was sitting in our bed watching the Wonder Pets (his new obsession). That lasted about two episodes and then he was determined that he was going to help us sand. I just had to laugh and let him. He grabbed a sponge and started rubbing the wall just like Daddy! Of course, it was too cute so I had to run and get the camera to capture the moment. It didn't take long before he was covered head to toe in dust (as we all were). I took him to the shower and we got cleaned up. Everytime we walk by his room, he points and says "Oh, look at Daddy's mess!". It is quite funny. We are hoping to get the room finished except for the floor by Sunday night and then lay the floor the first part of next week. I will post pictures as soon as it's done!!

Take me out to the ballgame.....

This weekend we met a very good friend of mine and her family in Chattanooga to eat dinner and go to a Lookouts game. It was Michael's first baseball game - and he didn't care much about it. But, he did have fun playing with Kelly's girls. We had a good time and hope to do it again soon! Here are some pictures.

Chillin' at the game in my shades!

The Deck.....

Well, here it is. The deck that was built over Memorial Day weekend. The deck that ended up bigger than we realized. The mammoth deck. But, we love it. And I am very proud to say that I had a big hand in helping to build it (and , yes, it is sturdy and won't fall down!) Richie still has to go back and add a single step along the front and then we are going to plant some little bushes along the edge to make it look pretty! (Maybe then Brownie will stay out from under it!). Richie saved some of the brick that he took down when he installed the french doors to build back in on the left side of them where you see the plywood. As you can see in the picture, to the left is a pool that mom bought for Michael for his birthday. Well, we have yet to get in the pool because Michael is TERRIFIED of it. And he loves water, which is one reason she got it! He loved the pool he had last summer and so we were going to get a bigger one this year so we could all play in it and now he won't go near it. He won't even play outside!! We are going to work on getting him out there and in it maybe this weekend. If we succeed, I'll post a picture!!

Happy Father's Day!

Here is a picture of my boys from Father's Day last Sunday. Aren't they gorgeous?
