The Newest Family Member

December 8th, 2008

I should have made this announcement earlier, but wasn’t real sure if the newest family member was just a phase…or the real thing. But it looks like Teddy is here to stay…

Teddy is the newest addition to our family.

Ace made Teddy at Build-A-Bear, and I’m betting Ace would consider Teddy to be his best friend. Ace goes no where without his newest companion!

Ace likes Teddy to be nekkid. If you have ever been to Build-A-Bear you would know that once you build your bear, you have all sorts of options for clothing…underwear, pants, shoes, shirts, hats, and all sorts of other accessories.

When Momma tried putting clothes on Teddy at the Build-A-Bear store Ace went nuts! So Teddy is nekkid. Also, once when Ace had a bad diaper rash and refused to put a diaper back on after Momma took one off, she put a diaper on Teddy to try and convince Ace that even his best friend wears a diaper. Ace wasn’t having it and cried until Momma took it off. Teddy is not to be wearing a diaper!!! 😀

Teddy also gets most of Ace’s kisses. Ace will give Teddy a big hug and kiss him on the nose. It’s a crowd pleaser almost everywhere we go. I’ll have to post a video. It is just too cute. 😀

Teddy has only been around a few months, but Ace has put him through the ringer a time or two. He has been dragged on almost every dirty surface known to man. His nose is always saturated with saliva, and he has been puked on numerous times…including last night.

Teddy doesn’t complain. He doesn’t cry. He’s just happy to be sitting in Ace’s lap in the carseat or in Ace’s arms at night to go to sleep.

Welcome to our family Teddy! It looks like you are going to be around for awhile! 😀

Crack Is Whack!

October 6th, 2008

16 Comments »

This weekend we took Ace and his cousin Olivia to Circle S Farms. You enter through a pathway with corn stalk walls and are greeted by a couple teen age girls who collect your money, and then you proceed to some cool farm-like activities for kids to do.

Circle S Farms - Sign

They had live animals, goats and chickens, for the kids to look at. They had a playground made of straw bails where kids could climb and slide down. They had tractors and bug pumpkins to look at and sit on, and also a hay ride that took you out to pick your very own pumpkin!!

And then they had the scare crow maze. It was a maze made from straw bails that was designed, I’m pretty sure, for torturing parents. The maze was about 3 ft tall and it had a wood slat fence on the top. So, it was tall enough where kids could run wild inside there, but parents were stuck crawling, duck walking, waddling, or whatever form of propulsion they could come up with while hunched over…

Ace wouldn’t go in the maze, so I took his cousin Olivia inside. There she goes at a full sprint around the first corner. I had lost her in the first 20 seconds.

So I keep wallering through this parent torture device. I was moving as fast as I could trying to find Olivia because I just knew at some point she would get scared and want out, but wouldn’t be able to find her way. I speedily rounded one corner and was greeted by something that I had least expected to find…

CRACK! and lots of it!

There was a Mom crawling in front of me wearing low rise jeans…that were riding, well, WAY TOO LOW! I swore I stopped fast enough for my hands and knees to make a screeching sound in the loose straw!

I stopped inches away from taking a face plant into the recently discovered revene…but far enough away to not smell the flowers. 😀

I was startled, to say the least, and couldn’t help but watch as the landscape I had almost became intimately familiar with bounced it’s way around the next corner.

I put myself back together, gathered my senses, and continued my way through the parent trap to eventually find Olivia waiting for me outside…ready to move on to the next “attraction”.

And now I know why the say, “Crack Is Whack!”

And to help you remove the image of my face inches away from a three quarter exposed bum…I’ll leave you with a few pics from the crack free portion of our day at Circle S Farms…

I Wasn’t Invited

August 21st, 2008

11 Comments »

Remember the good ole’ days? The ones where you lived for today. Your biggest worry was figuring out who was having a party this weekend, and who was going to buy you some alcohol because you were underage! Remember those days?

If you remember those days you probably remember (or maybe you don’t due to your condition) a few nights where you prayed to the Porcelain God. Remember that? Remember putting your face where you usually put your rear end? Remember giving it everything you had, and then some, and asking the Porcelain God to please make it stop and promising yourself that you would never do it again?

Remember how good the cold bathroom floor felt on your face as you lie there with your pants unbuttoned and probably down around you knees dreading you next worship session?

Well, I forgot about those days until I saw this picture that Momma took of Ace. Looks like I was not invited to the party… 😀

BEWARE! Swimming Children Have Super Powers!

July 15th, 2008

22 Comments »

Remember when you were a kid and loved going swimming? Did you have a favorite game that you played in the pool? Did you ever imagine you had super powers?

I always imagined that i had some kind of underwater jet pack that propelled me through the water at high speeds.

If you could pick a super power to have in the pool, what would it be?

If you wished you could shoot “heat rays” from your eyes like Superman does, you should come swim in our pool. Apparently swimming in our pool causes just this phenomenom.

If a swimming kid places both palms upwards and stares at their parent, a beam will shoot from their eyes and zap their parent right in the face! Seriously!

Take a look at the picture I took of the warning on the side of our pool… 😆

Uncle JoJo, What Is That?

April 25th, 2008

I am jealous of most of the other Mom and Dad bloggers. Why? Their kids talk. Their kids say the funniest things…which makes for some great blogging material.

Since Ace does not talk yet, I rely on pictures, videos, and the cuteness factor!

However, I was hangin’ out with my three year old niece, Olivia, the other day when she said something to me that rang the “I gotta write a post about this” bell. Let’s call it good practice for when Ace starts talking…

Olivia On Sit and Spin Olivia: Uncle JoJo, what is this on your arm? (Petting my arm)

Me: What? Where?

Olivia: Right here… (gently tugging on my arm hair)

Me: That’s hair!

Olivia: Where did it come from?

Me: (Trying to think of an answer a 3 year old would understand, I resorted to…) I don’t know.

Olivia: I know where it came from!

Me: Really? Where?

Olivia: The top of your head!

Nothing makes you feel like a crippled old man like having a three year old let you know that you are going bald!

At least she patted me on the top of my old bald head to make me feel better afterwards. 😀
