The Newest Family Member

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.

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!!! :D

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.  :D

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!  :D


Rotten!


Flying High and Crashing Cars

Last weekend was a blast!  Friday, Momma and I went out to celebrate our 6th Anniversary (we’ve been together for 10 years now)!  Then we went to an awesome dinner at Tony’s Italian Restaraunt here in Columbus, and ended the night out by seeing College the movie…pretty freakin’ funny flick!

Saturday we had big plans.  We drove Ace and his cousin, Olivia, to the town where I grew up to check out a Fly-In.  Here we got to see a bunch of cool air planes.  Instead of blabbing on and on about the planes, I’ll just post some pics…

  

  

 

Then we were off to the Demolition Derby!  One of my favorite things to watch!

My brother had been building a car to drive in the derby.  We went down to watch him wreck his car, but he had to back out at the last minute due to some car troubles.  Oh well, we still had a good time!

Have I ever mentioned that Ace likes anything with wheels?  Well, he does…and he loves derby cars!  He ket pointing at the cars and blabbering in giberish…that means he likes what he sees.  :D

The derby was very crowded and we were late to find a seat, so we had to stand and watch.  Of course there were a few rednecks (I fit right in. :D ) standing in front of us so the kids could not see.

So, here comes dad/uncle to the rescue!  Go go human pedestal!

At the end of a very long day we all had a very good time.  I’m glad that Ace and Olivia enjoyed the planes and the derby so much.  Now I know I have someone to watch the derby with for years to come.  :D

 


I Wasn’t Invited

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…  :D

Toilet Trash

Ace has a new obsession…the toilet!

No, not potty training yet (wouldn’t that be nice!), but playing in it…  :D

He’s been curious about the toilet for a while now.  He would get so excited to see the rush of water wash whatever happened to be in there at the time down into that hole in the bottom of the toilet…never to return again.  :D

So the other day Momma went down to the basement to switch a load of laundry.  When she came back up here is what she found… (it’s a bit blurry, but you get the point)

Ace Playing In The Toilet

The toilet lid was down.  Ace lifted it up and threw in an empty toilet paper roll as well as a brand new full roll…and was playing away.  :D

The next day I was home with Ace and was cooking up a magnificent lunch (Ramen Noodles) and I see the bathroom door was open.

I had a feeling I was walking into something bad…here is what I found…

Toilet Trash

Toilet Trash

Ace had taken the entire contents of the bathroom trash can and emptied it into the toilet.  Empty cigarette packs, an empty box of razors, some empty toilet paper rolls, a dirty diaper,  a wrapper from a pregnancy test.  Good Lord Kid!

I’m just glad he hasn’t learned how to flush yet… :D
