Just some news

Hello Bay-bay!

Let me tell you about my weekend. On Saturday morning, I went to soccer class. It was lots of fun. We played a real game! My mommie said "Get the ball X, get the all X!" I think she was more excited than me. One time Ella had the ball, and my mom told me to get it. So then I ran up from behind her and did a slide tackle! Even Ella's dad said "Way to go X!"

After soccer class, my mom took me to her grade school reunion. She spent the whole time talking. Boring! I spent the whole time eating Doritos, chips, skittles and Flav-or-Ices. One of the dads brought a big bounce house, and that was lots of fun! After the reunion I went back to Papa and GGs, and I went in my pool. I love my pool!

Yesterday after school, my mom took me to Genji's. It is a Japanese steak house. You sit around a grill, and they cook your food right in front of you. The chef had a big knife. I told him "Hey, you be careful with that knife." I had two bowls of soup, some rice, and a lot of filet. It was yummy.

Today after school, my mom took me to the all to play because it wasn't nice outside. I was climbing on some of the stuff in the play area, and my mom told me that when I was little, I couldn't climb on it. So I went over to another toy and climbed on it. Then I told my mom "When you were little you couldn't climb on this either." It was a good night!

Talk to you later.

One more thing -- I can hold up two fingers, and I can hold up three fingers --- ad I know whether it's two or three!

What you can learn from riding in a car with me

Recently, my mom took me on a trip. We spent 4 hours together in the car. It was very educational for her. Here's what she learned.

I told her "I got hair on my arm." She said "You do?" I said "Yes but not a lot of 'ems like Papa." Then I found hair on my legs. She asked who has a lot of hair on their legs, and I said "Smokey." Smokey is my cat.

My mom let me listen to my Disney CD in the car. Do you know how many times you can substitute the word "poop" for other words? A lot! For example: "Here we go loopdy-loo, here we go loopdy-lie" becomes "Here we go poopdy-poo, here we go poopdy-pie." "Knick knack paddy whack give a dog a bone" becomes "Knick knack paddy whack give a dog a poop!" I had a lot of fun with that one. Funny, though, I fell asleep when the CD was playing, and when I woke up my mom was listening to something else.

Ryan's Requested Update!

For my GF Ryan...

How YOU doin? I am getting pretty good at saying this. In fact, I am getting pretty good at saying lots of things. At least that is what Uncle Butchie says when we talk on the phone. Yep, things are good in my world and how could they not be.....it's my world!

Last week I hung out with my GG and Papa -- who would not want to hang out with them. GG takes me to school every morning, and we say hi to everyone we know as we pass their house along the way. We say hi to Jennifer, Walt and Judy, and we tell Jeffy to "Wake Up!" We also stop at Starbucks where GG gets "coffee, black." I make sure she gets me chocolate milk, and I make sure she gives them my name for the order. I love it when they say "Xavier" as they read back the order. At school I get to play all day, and I get a treat every time I go to the bathroom in the potty. By the way, GG gives me two treats when I go poopy in the potty. My mom says I don't a whole bag of Skittles every time I go potty, but I kinda think I do.

After school I make sure GG and Papa get their exercise by going with me to the park to play. It is a tough job, but someone has to do it. But I'm not completely unreasonable. After the park I let them take me to Dairy Queen for a treat. These trips have been good, as I am now a ice cream cone expert. For me it is "banilla wit spinkles".

And guess what? I am taking a soccer class on Saturday mornings! I already know the important things..."NO HANS"! And I can do a header!

My mommy has been working really hard, and I appreciate it. In fact she has been working so hard, I am going to let her take me to a resort so we can relax together. We are going to the Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City. What can I say? I am a kept man. Ain't no shame in my game!

P.S. Hey V -- I would LOVE to come over and play on the "twampoline!" I'll tell my people (aka Mom) to call your people (aka your Mom).

Peace and Hair Grease to you all.

Time to Catch Up Again

Hi! My mom's been traveling again so I haven't been able to blog lately. But don't worry -- I put her in a time out.

Let me tell you about my Memorial Day weekend; it was a lot of fun. On Saturday (Ryan's birthday), I went to my Papa's base ball game. I put on my Granger uniform and got introduced with the team. The Grangers were playing as part of the Heritage Festival, and they had an old time army from the Civil War. I liked it except they shot their guns. But after they shot their guns, they "marched away to camp." The Grangers won! On Sunday, we took Papa to play Bocce ball for his birthday even though it wasn't until May 29th. We had a lot of fun! After Bocce Ball, we went to the Fortiers for a BBQ. We ate a lot of food, and I played with Noah. On Monday, I marched in a parade with the Grangers. It was my first parade ever! I put on my Granger uniform, and my mom pulled me in a wagon with Jackson. Jackson's dad, Moonlight, plays for the Grangers. I waved to the people, waved my American flag and said Huzzah! It was a lot of fun.

Last week I stayed with Papa and GG because my mom was in Mississippi. It was a good week. They take me to the park after school every day. Every day! My mom says she'll never be able to keep that up in Midland, but we'll see.

Want to hear something funny? This past Sunday, my mom and I were at Papa's base ball game. My mom did something I didn't like, and I told her "I'm not happy with you." That's what she tells me sometimes when I make a bad choice. Ha! I got to tell it to her. I love it when I can do that.

I have to pick another Xciting Person of the Month -- I'm way late on that. Blame my mom.

Hope you are all well.
