Auld Lang Syne…Happy New Year…2011

Posted on January 1, 2011 by parksway

So the another year has passed and a new one begun. Where does the time go??

So 2010 had quite a few firsts for me as I learn more about what our world has to offer and also had some great moments for my family and friends. I went on a cruise with the family to Mexico – the first time I’ve ever been out of the country. It was great spending so much time with the family experiencing something new.

My cousins Chrissy/Michael, Erin/Mark, and Bubba had life-changing years, too. Bubba graduated from college and is looking to begin his career in law enforcement. Erin & Mark had a baby girl named Lily and Chrissy & Michael also welcomed a little baby girl named Reese into the world.  These little girls will forever bring them joy and love…until they start dating, then the dads will just get headaches.

Something not so monumental, but a right of passage for a little boy nonetheless, I went to my first baseball game with my daddy and papa Kolias. We also went to Cowboy Stadium which is something ever Cowboy fan should do at some point.

2010 also marked the first time I had any accidents. I bumped my head pretty good on the tile and had a big knot to show for the fall. I also made a trip to the ER on Thanksgiving to get my tongue stitched up. If none of this never happens in 2011, I will be okay with that for sure. I guess whatever doesn’t kill me makes me stronger and keeps daddy & mommy on their toes.

Some of the more developmental milestones were writing my full name (upper case and lower case), counting to 200,  the 4-year old check up and getting 50 thousand shots, and then of course every little cute look or comment that would keep my folks laughing. I keep getting smarter, stronger, and bigger with each day. And my parents are amazed at the little person I am shaping up to be.

In all, 2010 has been my favorite year yet because of my family and friends. I know we will make 2011 even better – that’s my resolution.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Merry Christmas to all…

Posted on December 26, 2010 by parksway

Christmas 2010 has come and gone and boy was it the best one yet. While I know it is Jesus’ birthday, I still get excited about the Santa aspect….real excited, especially since I was such a good boy and I know he ranks that pretty heavily.

Anyway jolly ol’ Santa was very good to me. He gave me gifts that make me laugh, think, exercise, and stretch my creativity. I couldn’t have asked for more…..actually, I did. I asked for 100 presents. I fell a few short, but looks like I gave it a good try. I’m working on another Christmas montage for 2010, but here is some of the raw footage from Christmas morning.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!!!!

Posted on December 23, 2010 by parksway

Today is my mommy’s birthday. She says she is 17….now, I’m not that good at math yet, but something doesn’t add up. When I asked my dad, he wouldn’t confirm or deny. He said some things I will have to learn on my own so not sure what that means.

Anyway, mommy had to work last night so when she came home, daddy and I sang to her and gave her some presents. We also made breakfast for her so today is off to a good start. Now I just need to decide whether to be a good boy or not.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

Build-A-Rudolph

Posted on December 18, 2010 by parksway

While mommy, daddy, and I were busy Christmas shopping, we decided to take a well deserved and welcome break at Build-A-Bear. I was so blessed to be allowed to get a Rudolph (that’s me sounding extra appreciative so the folks get me more gifts – dance my puppets….dance….)

Anyway, I did the whole rub the heart on my funny bone to make sure he has a sense of humor and laughs, rub it on my head so he is smart, rub it on my heart so he has lots of love, and the spinning in circles and all to create the best Rudolph EVER!!! If you squeeze his ear, he says different hings and his nose turns red. he is so cool – I’ll let him play games with me unlike those other mean reindeers that didn’t and only sucked up to him because he became a stud.

It’s a girl – Happy Birthday, Reese!

Posted on December 13, 2010 by parksway

Today, my cousins Chirssy and Michael welcomed their first baby, Reese, into the world and all of our lives. Congratulations and good luck – I know what a handful I was for two new parents. All I can say is that your life will never be the same, but according to my mommy and daddy, your life will never be better.

You will wonder what you did with all your time and learn to survive on half the sleep you use to get, but also be able to fall asleep at a moment’s peace. You will laugh harder at little looks and sounds and even cry at silly Hallmark card commercials or the thought of her growing up. You will spend hours just watching your baby girl sleep or play. You will beam with pride when she says your name or takes her first step. And nothing will compare to when she greets you when you come home – like she waited all day just to see you, hug you, and play with you – nothing is ever more important than that moment. You’ll be amazed at how quickly she learns and what she repeats – cuss words and scoldings never sounded so cute or innocent. You will also build up a tolerance to all the body’s fluids – and there is a lot.

The list of highlights and changes continues to grow – just ask your parents.

The house that Parker built…

Posted on December 3, 2010 by parksway

Well, go ahead and home builder to my resume. Yep, I (with the help from my folks) built a sturdy, attractive, custom home like my cousin Michael at Parkview Homes. The only thing is you can’t eat his, but you can eat mine.

This gingerbread house was one of my gifts I got to open from Santa. Now, you’re probably thinking it’s way to early to open gifts from Santa, but you would be wrong. He dropped off an advent calendar and presents at my grannie’s house the other day for her to give to me – I didn’t realize grannie and Santa were so tight – I probably should be extra nice to her. It has little notes to me checking in and seeing if I have been nice or naughty. If I’ve been nice, I get to open a little gift. If I’ve been naughty, I don’t get a gift and I have to figure out how not to get caught. So far, it’s all been nice except for that one time, but I’ve started the appeal process to clear my name.

Anyway, this was the first go at something like this for mommy, daddy, and me. It was harder than any of us thought, but had a lot of fun doing it so we think we will probably make this an annual thing for us to do. Next year, I thinking maybe a two-story home with a media room and pool – I’ll start drafting some ideas.

I also got this balloon making stuff as a gift on one of my many nice days. Daddy said it was good for huffing – whatever that means – so he didn’t let me do the balloon blowing. I thought it was pretty cool afterward though. This balloon we made look like a heart.

I ❤ you!
