Santa 2009

2009-12-09T16:45:00.001-06:00

Grif was so excited to see Santa. He yelled and waved at him the HOUR we waited in line. Although, things changed when he got into Santa's lap. He didn't cry but he wouldn't smile, talk, or do anything but have this look on his face. We asked if he was scared and he kept saying I not scared of Santa. We are going to Polar Express this weekend and Santa will be there. I hope we have a better experience.

Every year Dad swears we will not go back to Portrait Innovations and every year we some how end up there. Oh well, I had a great time. I also got to go see Santa afterwards. Mom will post that picture later!

Old Baker Farm

2009-10-11T14:07:00.003-06:00

Well, we had quiet the adventure this past Saturday morning. We loaded up in the rain and met the Malones for a morning at Old Baker Farm Pumpkin Patch. It was muddy and misting rain and I loved it. I had an excuse to get dirty and there was nothing Mom could say. We began our morning by taking pictures before we got too wet. Then it was off to the hay ride to the pumpkin patch. It was really muddy so the tractor slid a lot and we were hoping we would not get stuck. As we arrived at the patch we noticed that the people were out picking their own pumpkins in the mud. So, since Mom and Mr. Tucker were the only ones with old shoes on they got to go into the muddy field and pick our pumpkins. As you can see by the picture, Mom was very deep in the mud. She kept saying she felt like she was in high school again and she was mud riding, don't know what that is. I bet I find out some day what she was talking about when I am older. Anyway, we then went to the best part of the day, petting zoo. I got to pet a baby goat, baby bunny, a baby chicken and get up close to a 200 pound pig named peanut. We also got to see a donkey, goats, and baby cows. The best part of the day was definately the horse ride. Eme and I road the horse and had a blast. I leaned over too much a couple of times to see and nearly fell off.

We had a great time. I hope this is something we do every year with the Malones.

Happy Grandparents day! We love you all!

Who me?

Roll Tide!!

2009-09-12T11:28:00.002-06:00

Well, it is possbly the best time of the year...FOOTBALL SEASON!!! I was pumped up and ready to go. As you can see I had a great seat for the game. I got so excited all I could say was "Woll tide" and "Go ama" ! I love this time of year. I really like watching the games with Dad because he is funny but, we didn't for the first game. We are going to let him get good and warmed up before we sit back and watch the entertainment!

Labor Day Weekend at Mimi & Granddaddy's

2009-09-12T08:13:00.001-06:00

Mom and I went to visit Mimi and Granddaddy over the long weekend. As you can see I helped Mimi make a Butterfinger cake. We ate lunch at Nanny's then watched some Alabama football. I only made it to half time but, what I did see of the game was interesting.

Alex's 4th Birthday party

2009-09-12T08:04:00.002-06:00

My buddy Alex had his 4th birthday a couple of weeks ago. He had it at the Jump Zone that had huge blow ups to jump it. I personally liked the slide a lot. Dad didn't have that much luck on it. A little boy started climbing back up it when Dad was coming down. In order not to hit this little guy Dad put his hand out to stop him and when he did - BAM!! He caught his finger and it went the opposite way! Yuck...poor Dad, he is just now recovering. He was most worried about his golf swing and thank goodness it wasn't hurt. Although, I don't think Mom would have minded it being messed up. :)

Birthday Party Pics

2009-08-21T15:49:00.003-06:00

Yes, yes, yes, I know it is a month after the party but there has been a LOT going on at our house lately. So here are a few of our pictures. We had a blast!

They are coming...

2009-07-26T20:57:00.001-06:00

Well, it has taken Mom a while to get to sit down to download all the pictures from the half birthday party. When she started to download them there were 872 pictures from one weekend. So, it has taken her a little bit to get them sorted out and figure out which ones to post. The birthday party pictures will be up on the blog within the next few days!

Still Tryin'

2009-07-26T20:49:00.002-06:00

Well Mom, Aunt Mandy, and Uncle Michael will not give up on trying to get a picture of the three of us. As you can see this has been one of their best attempts. Although, it is not perfect it is still cute!

We love the Gator!

2009-07-26T20:41:00.002-06:00

Papa Joe got the neighbors John Deere Gator after their boys had out grown it. We have had a ball chasing people on it, running over Nana's flowers, and riding in the back. I am so glad he got it.

Two Peas In a Pod!

2009-07-26T20:38:00.001-06:00

Griffie, come back here!!!!

2009-07-26T20:35:00.002-06:00

Well, as you can see "Booper" is just a little mad. See what had happened was, (quote Mom uses from SNL), I snuck into the driver's seat while Coop was standing in the back of the gator and gunned it. As I gunned it Coop went flying! He landed on the grass and wasn't hurt but, boy he was mad!

Park Pictures

2009-07-12T20:50:00.002-06:00

We visited the Veteran's Park several times through out the holiday weekend.

Thinking it over...

2009-07-12T20:23:00.003-06:00

Well I had to wait and wait and wait some more before we got to ride the golf cart. So, as you can see while I was waiting I was thinking over the worlds' problems. For example, will this new health care plan pass ( I hear my Mom worrying about this a lot), how much will our taxes go up and what can I do to stop it,what kind of car will the government allow me to drive when I am old enough to drive, and most important when will the new Diego episodes come on. Oh how rough it is trying to figure out answers to all these tough problems.

Being silly with Mom

2009-07-12T20:16:00.002-06:00

I love my Mom but, sometimes she can be so silly. She loves taking pictures and has had the camera in my grill the last few weeks. Ugghh, she drives me crazy with the camera but I love her!

Everyone had to drive

2009-07-12T20:01:00.003-06:00

Throughout the July 4th weekend eveyone had to take a turn driving me on the "fas car" (translatation: fast car). I had to have Mom, Dad, Granddaddy, Papa Joe and even Mimi drive. I really enjoyed when they would go fast around the corners. We had a ball!!!!

Safety First...

2009-07-12T19:50:00.003-06:00

See Granddaddy heard how much I loved riding the go carts at the beach so, he got Uncle Andy's go cart ready for me to ride. I had to wear the goggles though, to protect my eyes. We don't want a rock or anything getting into my eyes. You gotta love the fact that my Mom's ears.

Playing with Eme...

2009-07-05T12:28:00.003-06:00

I love when Eme comes over. We have the best time. Although sometimes we have to do an under cover operation in order to hide from some of our neighbors, it is all worth it to play!!

Bribery...

2009-07-05T12:22:00.002-06:00

Well,

as you can see there is my prize. Prize for what you ask, well for using the potty. Mom and I went to Wal-mart and I picked out Bill which is one of Thomas' friends. So for a week now he has been sitting in the bathroom on top of my other prizes waiting for me to use the potty.

I am not giving in. I will use the potty when I am ready. She can put a dozen trains up there but, I'm not budging.

Playing in the sprinklers

2009-07-01T12:28:00.003-06:00

Well, when I'm not at Mimi and Granddaddy's I make due. It is hot and I want to be refreshed. Although, Mom and Dad played jokes on me. They turned the water off so I would go check it out and as soon as I bent down to look at the sprinkler they turned it on! They thought it was hilarious although I didn't find it that funny.

BOO!!

2009-07-01T12:14:00.002-06:00

Just practicing for Halloween!

Entertainment in the 'Mont...

2009-07-01T11:50:00.003-06:00

Well, as you can see Granddaddy and I can come up with some creative forms of entertainement. We had a great time at the bon fire. I'm sure the neighbors were wondering what was going on but, oh well. As you can see we were both amazed with it.

Swimming at Mimi and Granddaddy's

Enjoying a summer classic...S'Mores!

2009-07-01T11:24:00.002-06:00

Coop and I enjoyed s'mores a few weeks ago. As you can tell by my face I liked them a lot!

Trying to Explain it to Granddaddy...

2009-07-01T10:16:00.003-06:00

I can honestly say in 25 years I have not seen my Dad speechless until NOW. Grif got the best of him. I didn't even get the best part of this situation on video. Please ignore my snorting and laughter in the background. I really could not control myself.
G's Mom

Hangin' in the pool...

2009-06-28T21:36:00.003-06:00

...While Mom and Dad do yard work. Yeah I may only be two but I know how to work the system. See to get out of things like yard work you just mess a few things up and they will tell you to stop and to go play with toys. For example, instead of raking all the clippings away from the bushes, I started raking them back under the bushes. Mom didn't care for that much at all. Another example, I kept trying to keep them cool by spraying them with the hose. They didn't care for that too much in the morning but by the afternoon they wanted me to spray them. (Thanks Granddaddy for showing me how. Sorry about the wet cigarettes during our lesson.). So, as you can see I did enough so that I could just sit back, relax, and watch them do all the work. Life Is GOOD!!!

Showing them how to do it...

2009-06-28T21:31:00.002-06:00

Well today I went to show Aunt Gina and Uncle Andrew how to do swimming "G" style. If you don't have the Stearns Puddle Jumper Monster life jacket, you just aren't cool. I wouldn't let anyone help me because I CAN DO IT!!! I keep telling all of them that but, they just don't listen. Oh well, you can see how much fun we had. I can't wait until next weekend when we go to Mimi and Granddaddy's for the 4th and I get to swim so more!

Yes Granddaddy, Mom is putting the latest pictures from your house on next. :)

Botanical Gardens in Hoover

2009-06-14T20:42:00.002-06:00

What an experience. Once we had met Ms. Katie and Addison we decided to sneak over to the pond to feed the fish. We had a great time throwing the bread in and watching all the fish and turtles. There were a ton of them. Ms. Julie kept a close watch on the geese swimming around, she was not very fond of them. Check out The Malone's Blog to see more pics of our trip.

Play date with my best bud..Eme!!

2009-06-14T20:37:00.003-06:00

Mom, Ms. Julie, Eme, and I went to the Hoover Library for story hour. We had a blast as you can see. This is only the beginning of our fun. We went to the botanical gardens in Hoover. That is where it all got interesting. Mom and Julie did not notice the sign that said "DO NOT FEED THE DUCKS OR GEESE." Well, they gave Eme and I crackers to throw. THEN we had to RUN!! The whole flock of geese swarmed us. Ms. Julie had all the crackers so she took off. Mom scooped up Eme and yelled at me to RUN!!! We ran almost all the way to the parking lot before those goofy things stopped following us. You can see more pics in the next post of us feeding the fish.

S'Mores

2009-06-14T20:34:00.002-06:00

As you can see I had my first S'More. I loved it! Mom made s'mores for Cooper and I. Let's just say that I missed my bed time that night.

More Beach Pictures

2009-06-14T20:28:00.003-06:00

As you can see I had a great time at the beach. I did like to roam the beach on the last day we went down there. Dad was not happy to be at the beach. He is more of a pool guy and by that time I was too.

They're a comin'....

2009-06-11T19:52:00.002-06:00

Mom has been tied up having a ton of fun with me, Ms. Julie, and Eme this week. We have a bunch of pics that she hopes to get on the blog tomorrow while I am at school. Hope everyone has a great weekend!! :)

I had a great time learning to swim. I also enjoyed the girls checking me out as I swam by.

Playing like Dad...

2009-06-05T15:01:00.001-06:00

I guess I felt left out because everyone was always on their computers at the beach. Mom was doing homework (or so she said, I think she was on Facebook), Dad was doing business, and Nana was looking at craft blogs. So, I thought I should try it out too. I have to say, it's not as great as it looks.

Grif at the beach...

Theme park pics

2009-06-05T11:13:00.001-06:00

How lucky were we? We got to enjoy the theme park with my big buddy, Eme. I had a great time riding the train, riding the swing, the carousal and most of all the go carts. I love how the go carts went fast!

Well at least we got one...

2009-06-05T10:56:00.002-06:00

Loving the big tub at the beach

2009-06-05T10:27:00.002-06:00

Play date and Dinner date

2009-06-05T10:12:00.002-06:00

I had the best time with my pal Eme. We got together and played in the water toys, then in the bouncy and then I had a hot date for dinner. We had a blast. Can't wait to do it again!!

Playing with Aunt Linda, Logan, and Gabrielle

2009-06-05T10:05:00.001-06:00

We went to deliver their birthday presents. Unfortunately we had to miss their party because we will be on vacation at the beach. I had a great time playing with Logan's train table. Hint, hint.

Playing with Eme

2009-06-05T09:58:00.002-06:00

Eme is our best buddy. She is our neighbor and we have already played a bunch this summer. I hope to have a lot more play dates.

Nanny's Boys

2009-06-05T09:53:00.002-06:00

These are all my boy cousins on Mom's side. Funny isn't it that Nanny only had one boy and three girls. Then all of her girls had girls except for one boy and all of the girl granddaughters have had boys. Funny how life works.

Family Pictures from the Zoo

2009-04-06T18:57:00.001-06:00

A big boy visit to the zoo

2009-04-06T18:48:00.003-06:00

Well as you can see we took another trip to the zoo. You can expect to see a lot of zoo pictures this summer. Mom and Dad bought a season pass to the zoo so we can go all we want. Mom is looking forward to outings this summer.

You know I'm growing up when they let me walk around the zoo. I did really well until we got to the camels. I wanted to ride them so bad but, Mom and Dad didn't let me. I had to get in the stroller for pitching a fit. Although, for most of the zoo I got to walk.

Don't we all have days like this?

2009-04-06T18:40:00.001-06:00

Do you have days like this? Well I figure I will after all we have done today. Between the egg hunt and the zoo, I'm sure I'll be like this too.

Zoo Candids

2009-04-06T18:29:00.000-06:00

The Rides...

2009-04-06T18:23:00.002-06:00

I love the carousel. Dad took his turn on the ride this time. Mom took her time sitting out and taking pictures.

The Birmingham Zoo steps it up!

2009-04-06T18:17:00.002-06:00

Yep, this trip of many to the zoo, we realized that there was new animals. As many times as we have been to the zoo we have yet to see the Hippo and the Rhinos. I had a great time yelling at them but, they never payed me any attention.

He shoots and SCORES

2009-04-04T10:59:00.000-06:00

In the CLC were games and lots of fun things. Dad and I got to shoot hoops.

I made a slam dunk!!

The BEST of both worlds

2009-04-04T10:49:00.003-06:00

I love trains and firetrucks. I was so excited when I saw that the ride at the egg hunt was a train - firetruck. Man, how cool am I? Mom decided she would let Dad enjoy this fun event.

2009-04-04T10:41:00.001-06:00

The hunt is on!

2009-04-04T10:32:00.003-06:00

Well after the great story with Ms. Abbey we were able to go out and hunt for eggs. My age group got to go to the CASA playground and hunt eggs. Man, I had a great time. There were eggs everywhere!

Before and after Ms. Abbey told the Easter story...

2009-04-04T10:23:00.003-06:00

As you can see I was sitting very nicely waiting on the story. Once Ms. Abbey (our children director) started the story I thought I should go up and stand in front so I could get the MOST out of the story. Then I decided to walk among the girls and boys listening to the story and then around the sanctuary. For those of you that know my Mom well, you can only imagine what she was thinking. :)

Checking out the eggs!

2009-04-03T19:28:00.002-06:00

What happens when a two year old gets an egg.....

2009-04-03T19:24:00.001-06:00

It's that time, for Easter Eggs and Easter Egg Hunts

2009-04-03T19:13:00.002-06:00

I am sooo excited, I get to go to my first Easter Egg Hunt tomorrow. Our church is having its annual egg hunt and I can't wait. The Easter Bunny will be there so I better be on my best behavior.

As you can see we decorated eggs tonight to take to the hunt. I had a great time. Mom handled the color while Dad and I added the stickers.

Watching a movie at Nanny's

2009-04-01T07:53:00.002-06:00

Boys, boys everywhere! Well, all Mom's family went to Nanny's for lunch during Spring break. Itsn't it funny that three out of four of Nanny's kids were girls and three out of four of their kids were girls and now look. All the Great grandchildren are BOYS!! Someone needs to have a girl, good luck Uncle Andrew!

Look at my NEW wagon

2009-04-01T07:44:00.003-06:00

I got a John Deere wagon during Spring Break. I guess you could say I had a good time that week. I got a new wagon, went to Mimi and Granddaddy's (where Mimi gave me cheesecake), got to drive several tractors, and got to spend time with Mom. Wow, it was a good week!

A tractor filled weekend...

2009-04-01T07:34:00.003-06:00

Granddaddy got a new tractor to cut the grass with. I got to drive his tractor also. I am only two and already have so much driving experience. Watch out Mom and Dad I will be H_ _ l on wheels when I turn 16!

Riding Uncle Dennis' Tractor

2009-04-01T07:22:00.003-06:00

Man, I am so lucky. My Uncle Dennis is a farmer and do you know what that means? He has tractors!!!! I went to visit the shed where he keeps all of his tractors. I got to ride and drive one, I am so cool. We rode around and around and around in the cotton field when I got to drive. I also saw a picker and a combine. As you can see, I was just the right size to sit in the wheel.

Following in their footsteps....

2009-03-08T11:41:00.003-06:00

Mimi got me this cool drum set. Granddaddy and Uncle Andrew helped me out with lessons. I have to say, I think I am doing really well. I hate it though because, Mom left the drumset at Mimi and Granddaddy's house. I guess she just wanted Mimi to enjoy the noise from them all the time, and not miss out if they were at my house.

Granddaddy's Birthday!

2009-03-08T11:37:00.002-06:00

All of us went to the 'Mont for Granddaddy's birthday and was all about helping him open his gifts!

Telling Uncle Andrew how it is....

2009-03-08T11:32:00.002-06:00

See I know my uncle is an attorney but, he still needs my help. I had to explain the card from my point of view. I like him even though he will not give me a cousin to play with. Oh well, I will remain the only grandchild on Mom's side and love every minute of it!

Playing with Jake and his E Collar

2009-03-08T11:21:00.003-06:00

Jake had a mishap with his harness. It cut into his leg and had to have stitches. So as you can see, he had to wear an E collar and was not very happy about it. Mom let him in the house some during his healing and I had a ball playing with him. I chased him around the house and rolled around in the floor with him. It was fun to watch him try to sniff or lick with the collar on. Jake is much better now and we are all glad! Mom cried because she felt so bad about Jake being hurt and Dad cried when he saw the Vet. bill. :)

Snow pics with Emerson

2009-03-08T11:12:00.001-06:00

Well I don't think our neighbor Emerson enjoyed the snow as much as I did. She was not up for pictures or playing. We later found out she had an ear infection. I love Emmie and hope she gets better soon!

You can also see where Dad got me with a snow ball too. I love him!

More snow pics!

2009-03-08T11:03:00.002-06:00

Man, I really wish we could get some more snow. I loved playing in it. Dad and I had a great time throwing snow balls at Mom too!

Sophie playing in the snow!

2009-03-08T10:59:00.002-06:00

All of us had a great time watching Sophie play in the snow. She loved finding her bone buried under the snow!

My Handy Helper

2009-03-08T10:50:00.002-06:00

I have to admit this was not my idea but, it is working like a charm. I got this idea from Super Nanny to give G a hard hat and tell him he is my handy helper. This works so well because he helps pick ALL of his toys! I might actually be figuring out this parenting stuff!

Bear's First Birthday

2009-03-01T12:23:00.003-06:00

We had a blast at Bear's birthday party at Gymboree!! I loved jumping off the blocks into the parachute. I wasn't the only one though, I had to wait in line a lot! We had a great time dancing, catching bubbles, and eating cake!!

We have tried potty training some but I am just not ready yet. Oh well, at least I get to wear my cool pants in the mean time.

My Mom loved on Emma so much I am not sure she had any kisses left for me! I think Mommy is really wanting a little sister for me! I love Emma girl too, she's so cute. I like patting her on the head.
