My Latest Adventures

I've had a lot of fun adventures lately. To continue from our time in Ruston.....

The day after the Tech Homecoming game, we all went to Mass together. When we got back to the hotel, Parin and Aunt Emmy were changing my clothes to something comfy for the ride home. I'm pretty sure they aren't ready for kids and should stick with Franklin the dog!

Before leaving Ruston, we made a stop at the Kings' for a visit.

Mrs. Lori was feeding me Cheetos. Mommy wanted me to take a picture with her, but I was being silly and wouldn't hold still!




Back at home....

I can now climb the ladder for my swingset and slide down all by myself! I'm getting to be so very independent! Playing outside on my playset is probably one of my favorite things to do!


Friday Mommy, Grannie, and I spent the day in Lake Charles with Mrs. Danielle and her little girl, Mary-Grace. Mommy and Mrs. Danielle have known each other all their lives. Mary-Grace is 5 months old. Her daddy, Mr. Wayne, told her it would be okay if she wanted to date me one day. And I'm glad it's okay, because she's quite the cutie! It was a gorgeous day, so we went to the park by the lake and took some pictures.

As we were leaving the parky, we heard the ice cream truck. We've heard it in our neighborhood before, but haven't been able to catch it on our streeet. For some reason it must skip us. But this time Paw-Paw got the ice cream man to stop. He bought me my very first ice cream from an ice cream truck. And I thought that was pretty cool! A few days later we heard it in our neighborhood when Grannie and I were outside in our backyard swinging. We ran inside, grabbed some money, and headed for the front door - but never saw it. I heard Daddy's phone right and thought that was the truck! Hopefully his phone doesn't ring too often - or I'll always want ice cream!

I was a sticky sticky mess when I finished! It's a good thing Mommy did some shopping that day and had some other clothes in the car because I had to be changed! But I enjoyed every bite!

Aunt Leslie is moving back to Houston. Her company transferred her to their office there. So this past weekend was her last weekend in Louisiana. The moving truck loaded everything Sunday, so she spent Sunday night at our house before heading out. It was good, because we got to hang out for a long time! I had so much fun with her!

Mr. William came over Sunday evening for a little while, too, so he could see her before she moves. He says I have the greatest name ever! (I wonder why he thinks that...?)

Last night Daddy gave me a bath in the big bathtub in their bathroom. I had a great time splashing around! I really enjoy bathtime a lot!

We Are Bulldogs!

Today was the Louisiana Tech Homecoming game. And it was my first-ever Tech football game! Paw-Paw and Grannie came up to Ruston with Mommy, Daddy, and me. Parin (Kent) and Aunt Emmy drove in from Fort Worth, too. I had a great time! When we got to the stadium I'd fallen asleep in the car. Mommy put me in my stroller and I slept for over an hour as everyone walked around the tailgate area. But I woke up in time to eat a popsicle, then head into the stadium. It was a great game - Tech won!!

Here I am right before kickoff!

Here come the Bulldogs!!!!

Grannie and Paw-Paw shelled peanuts for me - I love peanuts!

I found a great place to sit on the bottom front of my stroller.

TOUCHDOWN BULLDOGS!!!!

Mommy took me to see Champ - we took a picture with him!

Paw-Paw and I were really into the game!

Aunt Emmy got on the field to see Tech XX. She and Parin used to walk Tech XIX (Tech XX's predecessor) at the football games when they were Tech students. Mommy passed me over the railing to Aunt Emmy so I could take some pictures with Tech XX.

Me with Tech XX

I had a great time with Parin today!

Me with Parin and Mommy

Parin made me laugh a lot!

Parin ran me up to the top of the stadium!

It was fun sitting up that high!

It was fun to run around!

Daddy's Little Buddy

After the game Mommy, Parin, and Daddy took me on the field to run around and take some pictures. Here I am on the "T" in the end zone.

....and on the 50 Yard Line....

Just chillin' on the "State T"

More fun on the "State T" - just check out that huge smile!

I had a great time letting Parin chase me!

It was such an exciting day! After the game we went to dinner with Aunt Emily's parents, Mr. Bill and Mrs. Wavely. We got back to the hotel and I took a bath, then had energy to keep running around and playing for a little while. But when I finally gave in, I was sacked out!

Go Bulldogs!

Halloween Party

Friday morning was our Halloween Party at Play-n-Pray. I had a great time! Thursday night, Mommy made treats for us to take to the party. She made cupcakes and monster pudding cups. The monster cups were a big hit!

It's a plastic cup (shot glass, actually) with a monster face made out of chocolate, vanilla pudding tinted with green food coloring, and crushed oreos on top.

Grannie made my Halloween costume. I think she did and awesome job! I'm the cutest little clown - especially with my naturally curly red hair! Adorable, I say!

I really like playing with this little car every time we go to Play-n-Pray. This was especially fitting with my costume. I look like I'm driving a clown car!



I was excited about snack time. I got to eat one of the monster pudding cups! I'm such a big boy, eating it all by myself!

Oh yea, this is good stuff!



Yummy! Saving just a little bit for later!

Thanks for making my fabulous costume Grannie!!!

You're the best!

Future Mozart!

Mommy and Daddy enrolled me and Grannie in a weekly music class at our church, St. Jude. This week was my third week to go with Grannie. I was such a good boy! I participated in everything, and had a really good time playing my instruments!

Here I am getting my #14 bag of instruments out of the big box:

First I have to unpack my bag to make sure I have everything I need:

Okay, I think it's all here!

The egg shakers are sooo much fun!

For the Halloween song, I got to be the Scarecrow!

Shaking and ringing the bells is a LOT of fun!!

Brrrr... Ice is Cold!

If you know me, then yo uprobably know that I really like ice. Now, I've figured out how to open the closet door to get a cup, open the freezer, pull out the ice tray, and scoop up some ice in my cup!

Blue Tongue

Uncle Tony knows I love Cheetos. By way of Grannie, he sent me a surprise: special Halloween Cheetos! They're special because, as you eat them, your mouth and tongue turn blue!! So, Uncle Tony... these pictures are for you! Thanks for the Cheetos!

So Cozy!

Sunday Mommy was cooking dinner for some guests. Aunt Julie and Cousin Dawn came in from Atlanta to visit with us before taking a cruise out of New Orleans. I really wanted to help Mommy in the kitchen, but she didn't need my help. So Daddy and I went into their bedroom to watch The Wonder Pets on tv. We were snuggled up nice and warm... this is how Mommy found us:

Trash Truck

I am fascinated with the trash truck. I think that's been mentioned on here before. A few weeks ago, Paw-Paw came to town to visit overnight. That next morning was TRASH DAY!!! He took me outside and let me sit on the back of his truck while we waited for the trash truck to come pick up our trash!
