Sweet Summer Days

We have the absolute BEST neighborhood ever, a pool, park, pond with ducks and geese (and goose, I think they are 2 different animals)great neighbors with friends for me to play with; but most of all we have our very own ice cream truck. Sometimes when I am sleeping I can hear the sweet sound of it's music in my dreams and I can just taste that Snoopy Dog ice cream bar.

Causing Trouble

So I begged Mama to do this........



And this happened......



Yeah that would be the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police letting the air out of Bubba's ( grandpa)
4 wheeler tires. The adults made the mistake of teaching me how to start the big red 4 wheeler ( so much more fun than my little one) and I wanted to ride so bad, so Mama took me for a little ride, then Daddy wanted to ride, then Uncle Dave, then Uncle Mike, then the cops showed up...who knew these things were not allowed the grounds. I did tell them I started the whole fiasco and instead of impounding the brand new shiny object of my affection, they loaded it in the truck and let the air out of the tires! Sorry Bubba!

Memorial Day Redneckin'

So my parents finally introduced me to their pre-Sicily, pre-baby Memorial Day Weekend ritual. Camping at the Charlotte Motor Speedway for the 4 days leading up to the Coca-Cola 600 Nascar Race. I only went along because I heard there were race cars involved. I had the time of my life. Unlimited snacks, my buddy Nick ( we put the tent together ourselves as you can see, our Daddies were useless.) Sunshine and room to run wild filled my weekend. Mom took me to Nanas house after 2 days to get some rest in a real bed, really I think she was just tired of chasing me. I had a blast and will be back next year. We are even famous they posted our pictures on the race fans campsite page. Click on this link....

look for the race weekend campers pics, we are the 18th row down. So I now live in SC, am saying yes mam when answering mom 25% of the time and have been to a Nascar Race .
Do you think I might be a Redneck?

Greenville Zoo

So I totally dig the Zoo. I am still talking about the elephants and how Mom, Dad, Nana and Uncle Cameron let me feed the goats. Mom is still reminding I should not have eaten the special zoo crackers you buy at the front to feed the goats, that they are for goat mouths not Colin mouths. Most of all I am taunted by the monkeys. They were having a bit of a wild morning I guess and were making tons of noise, swinging from their cages, throwing ropes at the cage walls etc... So for all you who know me well I am a little timid. Needless to say the monkeys scared the poop out of me. I did not want to walk by the cage, look at them or even mention the word monkey for days. Mom thinks I might be permanently damaged because I am still reminding her of them while making a horrible face now 2 weeks later. She is trying her best to convince me they were just singing to me but I am not yet convinced!

Love You Nana and Uncle Cameron

A Good Day

So Nana and my Uncle Cameron came to visit the other weekend, 2 of my favorite people. We kept them busy. Friday night we went to Jazz on Main held in downtown Greenville every Friday night, had dinner and listened to the music. Sat morning Mom, Nana and I got up early and headed back downtown to the Saturday Farmers market. Coffee in hand bread and veggies in the stroller we were off to show Nana, Reedy Falls Park. This place is amazing. We picked some flowers ( mama kind of yelled at me for that, it is a public park and all.) Played Baseball with a stick, checked out the waterfalls, found 2 little boys that would fight over all my sports balls that I brought with me and danced in a fountain. We washed down this fun filled morning with a plethora of bad for you fried foods and sweet tea at Wild Wings Cafe. What a perfect Day!

Lake Livin

One of the things my mom and dad always talk about when reminiscing of their teenage years is how much fun it was to grow up spending every summer at the lake. This was my first lake trip. I kind of enjoyed the freezing water, liked playing with Nick and Emma but I absolutely got a kick out of throwing goldfish crackers in the water and watching them swim away. What can I say I am a simple man, doesn't take much to entertain me! Most importantly, don't I look cute in a life jacket?

Happy Birthday Emma

Thanks to Emma Barker for turning 3 I had the best Birthday Party invite yet! We played and played and played at a gymnastics center. Mom can see why people encourage their children to participate in this sport, I was exhausted when all was said and done. I love you Emma.

Family Fest Greer SC

We are in Greer SC you must remember so mom and dad insisted I get a new John Deere hat and a shiny new green tractor toy! We saw a fiddle player, ate corn dogs, blue icees and took in the good southern sights!
