I do all my own stunts...

Mommy says that I am a very active boy. So, it takes a lot of activity to wear me out. Grandma visited me this week to give Mom a break and she knows how to tucker me out...with her super-Grandma strength she swings me around and gets me laughing my head off.
I have been playing a lot of basketball, sinking shots from 4-5 feet away these days. Daddy has been helping me fine tune my baseball skills. We are working on my catching and throwing and I am getting better everyday.
Then there's my new found equine skills. It's too easy to just ride and bounce on my horsey these days, so I had to shake things up and start riding it while standing. Where do I come up with these ideas?

A couple more weeks...

Yeah, there's something big happening in a couple of weeks, but it's not what you are thinking. That whole baby brother thing is exciting and will be completely life changing for our family (especially me-I have no idea what's about to happen here) but the "big thing" I'm referring to is the return of football season. Maybe it was born in my blood, but I sense its approach and without prompting have been talking about football constantly the last few days. So, Daddy and I have been tossing the ball around the house and I have recently showed off my skills to my friends next door. Brendan and I are football buddies, for sure.
Aside from football, I have also been working on my colors and have added blue to my repertoire. I am getting better at yellow, too. Red and green are really happy to hear that they'll no longer be incorrectly used as often, I'm sure.
See you soon!

The latest Buzz...


Many times, before I close my eyes for a nap, or night night, I lay there and marvel at how good this boy has it. This week was just one great day after another. Monday, Mommy and Lauren took Emer and I to Target for some fun. We looked at all the cool Toy Story toys, did a little grocery shopping, and fake registered for our little brothers (just so our parents could get the discount on diapers and essentials)...with Emer and I doing all the scanning with those nifty little guns. Then, Grandma came to visit me. I showed her how I play at the splash park and how to slide and swing. We had a brief driving lesson too, because I'm quite the little speedster. Then, I showed her how to swing a bat and a tennis racquet. We had a fantastic 4 days with her...and can't wait to see her again when my littlebrother arrives.
The surprises kept coming though. After a fun morning at church, we got home just in time to get a visit from Aunt Teresa, Uncle Tom, and Brandon. They brought me an awesome sandbox and toys to play with in the sand as an early birthday present (because I wouldn't get much sand time in late October). Even more, they showered me with Toy Story gifts, DVDs, a rolling backpack, cookies, and comb. Yes, I no longer have to watch 10 min increments of the movies on Youtube, and I have my own talking Woody and Buzz to play with. What an awesome day! My aunt, uncle, and cousin are super generous! And I say again, this boy has got it soooooo good.
We'll talk to you next week!
