Liam and Leif

Just a quick picture of two of our new favorite friends. These brothers moved into our neighborhood last summer and we really really REALLY like playing with them. That's Liam next to Cole. He's a 10 year old 4th grader who is an excellent athlete. Next to Bryce is Leif who is a 7 year old 1st grader who likes dogs and video games and laughing really loudly. They have awesome parents and two great dogs and we couldn't be happier to have them in the neighborhood.

God's Promises Do Not Involve Leprechauns

The most perfect rainbow we've ever seen was right outside our front door tonight!

No literally... It sprang right up out of the field next door.

You can imagine how quickly we had our rubber boots on and satchel ready to be filled with gold.

We were SO close to nabbing that leprechaun!

But the closer we got, the harder it was to see the rainbow.

There was no gold and we must've just missed that little leprechaun.

Mom says its because rainbows aren't really about leprechauns and gold. They're really about God's promise to never flood the earth again and we can't really see or touch a promise either can we?

Bad Cut

okay I will admit that a haircut was LONG overdue and Old Man Vandygriff was losing his mind over my mop top but today was literally the worst. Mom told the gal we like it a little longer on the top. Does THIS look "a little longer" in any way?!  I was so mad. I asked Mom if I could fire her. Then I asked if we could call her boss to have her fired. I could not be consoled. Not even by the world's biggest snuggle butt. It was a very bad day.

New Socks

Got some new socks today so I decided I needed to try them on. All at once.

Yep. They fit!

The Entertainer

Lately Coley and I are obsessed with music. I don't just listen though. I learn the words and the moves and put on shows. Tonight I went over to Chloe's house and they paid me a dollar for singing and dancing. I think that officially makes me a professional entertainer!

And yes. Rock stars do love tater tots.

Yeah Man. Yeah.

Mother Goose With Mother Vandy

Today was Mother Goose day at school. We ran into a member of my wolf pack in the line to go in and I knew right away that it would be fun.

Okay most of it was arts and crafty stuff, which I am not into, but there was one thing where you have to jump over candlesticks and other stuff like Jack. That was cool!

You can probably guess this is where all of the boys were.

Humpty Dumpty is my favorite nursery rhyme. I can relate to any dude who falls off walls and cracks his head on stuff.

Mom did talk me into one craft. We made old mother hubbard's dog.

Here's my teacher whom I love. Mrs. Singer has done an amazing job with me this year. She is a really really great teacher.

Mom tried to get me to read.

I sat for a photo then proceeded to tell Nicholas that my chair was bigger than his and therefore I was the King. That didn't go well and soon we had some entertainment in the form of an all out war.

We soon made up when the Moms convinced us to go make girly crowns. We liked stamping the heck out of them.

And then it happened. We were walking to the door to leave and Stella came in. She looked at me in my King's crown, I looked at her in her Tiara and we ran to each other. Mom was shocked but I assured her that Addie is still my girlfriend #1. Stella is officially #2.

Booty Shorts and Ball Blasting

We got to see Uncle Scott today!  He and Sue came down to stay with us for Sue's volleyball tournament. He even brought me a birthday present!

Okay LEGOs are cool and all, but building them with this guy is fantastic!

We decided to go and see what this "bolleyball" thing was all about. At first we thought it was just a bunch of really tall girls in booty shorts.

Then we found out that the aim of the game was to SMASH the ball at the other team and we were hooked! That's our Sue with an awesome block at the net.

She is a tower of power.

The other girls can't even get close.

We could definitely get behind this ball blasting sport.

As for the booty shorts... well these two guys were there to make sure nobody got too excited about those.
Thanks for coming to see us and letting us come to see you Sue!
