Cleaning dada's boat at the beach was fun, with the help of my cousins. 

Dada has a sweet boat.  I can't wait to be old enough to fish on it.  Someday. 

How much fun is this? 

I can't get enough of the brush.  I was actually very bossy about it with my cousins, who legitimately wanted to clean with it.  They let me have my way because I'm 3, and I know it!

And the inevitable. 

Good times at the beach. 

Guess who's back?  Yep, those crazy cousins of mine, Brenden and Marianne.  

Aunt Bridey brought me a whole bunch of new used books, which is awesome.  Mama is thankful to have new reading material. 
Marianne read me a book about helicopters. 
Brenden and I played with the new castle block set that my Grandpa in Chicago sent me.  It was all good until I started running off with the pieces.  Brenden was not very amused, at all. 
Dada is still in Birmingham, we miss him a lot, so we all took turns talking to him on the phone up in the pirate ship.  
Enjoying ice cream on the patio at night.  These are good times. 

Happy 3rd birthday Luke!

My best buddy Luke turned 3 on Saturday, so he got to have his birthday party on the day of his birthday.  By the way, it seems like forever until my party, which is this Saturday.  I can hardly wait.  Luke's party was a circus theme.  I loved the duck game.  
Luke's mama made delicious cupcakes.  
After the rest of the kids went home, Jackson and I got to stay and play in Luke's pool. 
Jackson got some sweet air jumping in the pool.  He will be four in October.  I hope I can jump as high as him when I'm his age!
Luke's mimi is about as nuts as my Ga.  
Luke got some very cool loot.  He was very patient waiting for his gifts, or at least it seemed to the rest of us.  Mama's worried I won't be nearly as patient.  

My nanny (aka Ga) is better than your nanny.  Look at what she has waiting for mama when she gets home from work - peach fuzz!

I am loving hanging out in the backyard, even if it's 111199999 degrees out.  

I really like "mowing" the grass with my new bubble lawn mower.  Look at that crazy garden!

Quick break.
Look at mama's cabernet grape plant that Ga got her.  Who knew we could grow grapes in Texas.  Just don't eat them.  They are, as I say, nasty. 
Update on the scar...looking extra red after an hour of running around in this heat.

What a day!  Where to begin?  Since Ga already outed me on Facebook this morning, I'll admit I took it easy and slept into 9:15.  No need to be the early bird around here.  Ga made me pancakes with M&Ms.  I ate 3!!!
We went for lunch downtown and picked up mama on the way.  We ate in a restaurant with two stories, so we spied on the people below.  
After lunch, Ga, dada and I went to the Astros game.  I lasted for 5 innings, which is 2 more  than I am now, so I guess that's a success. 
Don't be fooled by this picture.  I sat still for approximately 10 minutes, and then proceeded to circle the stadium twice, stopping at every stand to look for an ASTROS 18 WHEELER, which we found of course.  I am one spoiled boy. 
I was intrigued by and scared of the train with its oranges.  The Astros won 5-0 over the Pirates, but no home runs.  I might have bolted if the train actually went off.  
Of course we visited Ga's brick, which mama and dada bought well before I was born, when this place was called Enron Field!  After the game, we headed home.  I actually went to my room and took a nap for an hour, which is the first nap I've taken since I gave up my "pass" last Sunday.  It was a rough week (ahem, for those of you who told mama it would be 48 hours) and nights at the beach this weekend were AWFUL but we seem to have turned a corner.  Two nights sleeping through the night with no pass.  Keep your fingers crossed.  
Mama woke me up when she got home from work, and gave me more new presents.  I had already got my biggest motor home before we left for the game, and I got 4 more!  Matchbox, Hotwheels, Playmobil, and antique, all ordered off Ebay.   
I also got a car wash to run ALL my cars through.  ALL of them.  And my golf cart, another Ebay purchase.  
Ga and Papa got me a bubble lawn mower and bubble machine.  
We turned on the bubble machine and I danced through the bubbles.  The perfect end to a perfect day.  Happy birthday to ME!

The UPS man came on Monday, just like Grandma said he would, with my birthday presents, and there was no way I was waiting until Wednesday to open them!

I loved my card that sang about three little fishies. 
Ooooh, a car wash to keep all my cars clean!
But wouldn't you know it, my favorite gift is the organic gummies.  Thanks grandma and grandpa!

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend.  We headed down to the beach the first chance we got.

We packed up the golf cart and headed down to the water. 

We have quite the set up with a canopy, coolers, chairs....
I had lots of fun hanging with mama and dada for the whole weekend.  Good times. 
Giving mama a kiss. 
Dada found a hermit crab and tried to lure him out to show me.  
Ga and I hunted for treasure....
until I heard the ice cream man, and then I took off.  My favorite thing about the beach is the ice cream man!
Papa helped me decide which to get.

I also had some quality car and truck parking time - one of my favorite games.  Dada didn't seem to mind too much. 
Mama!  Enough with the camera already!
Dada hanging out on the 4th of July .  How patriotic!
We went to JB and Becky's house and played with their grandbabies. 
It didn't take us long to decide to get in the pool, so I had to head home to get cleaned up before the fireworks show. 
On the way back to JB and Becky's house, we stopped by my best girlfriend Zoe's house.  Her granddad was setting off fireworks.  When they would go off, I would shout that they were MY favorite color (green) or Zoe's favorite color (purple).  
Back and JB and Becky's I ran around this deck, which goes around the entire house 1,000000000 times.  Really. 
And occasionally stopped to watch a firecracker -- this time with Ga as protector. 
On Sunday we spent some more time at the beach.  These are the good times.
