Christmas Is Here!

I have been waiting for Christmas.  I have a new favorite Christmas book about Captain Cookie and Gingerbread Pirates.  I make Mommy and Daddy read me that book every night.  Santa comes and doesn't eat the gingerbread pirates but then in the morning they turned into pirate toys.  It is a good book.

Christmas is here...and Santa came to our new house!  We left him some cookies and I knew he could find our house.  I love it that he brings presents.  I got hot wheels and movies and Paw Patrol toys. What else? A Kris Bryant picture for my wall.  And some kinetic rocks toys too.  

And I was hanging out on Christmas in my new Spiderman robe.  

At Gram and Poppy's house, I got a Cubs hat and a bow and arrow (don't worry it is nerf 😄) from Landon.  He showed me how to shoot it outside.  It is so cool. 

The coolest thing was Gram's phone glasses.  You put the phone in the glasses and put the glasses on your face.  Then you can ride a roller coaster!  It was kinda scary but I didn't get scared.

It was a good Christmas with lots of good stuff.  Merry Christmas to all!

First IU Games

I went to my first IU basketball game.  I see them play on the TV with Daddy.  I always ask what color are they?  The red team?  The white team?

We went to the game as a family.  They played the Houston Baptist team and IU won by a lot of points.  And I cried until Mommy bought me a IU basketball.

Then I went to another game with Daddy, Landon and Kevin.  We got to play on the basketball floor.  I wish I had my basketball so I could shoot it.

I Brush My Teeth

Mommy likes to take pictures of me brushing my teeth.  Maybe I told her to take pictures?  I don't 'member.  Oh yeah, don't mind the black eye in some of these...preschoolers with tennis rackets are dangerous.

Parade Time

Me and Daddy and Luci drove to Grandmas house to go to the Cubs parade.  Then we got on a train with a lots of lots of people. The train driver gave me some pennies and tickets to play with. And we sang my favorite song, "Go Cubs Go".

Then we stood outside forever. There were even more lots of people. Someone had a world serious trophy and I liked it.

When the parade come by it was soooo loud!  I screamed too but I couldn't hear myself screaming loud.

I saw Kris Bryant and Rizzo and Javy.  It was a special day.

Cubs Won The World Serious!

Guess what? The Cubs won the World Serious! They played against the Indians baseball team.  I watched all of the games on TV.  I wore my Kris Bryant shirt and we had the W flag.

But I was sleeping when they finally won the World Serious. It was past my bedtime. Daddy stayed up late and he was excited.  He told me while I was sleeping and then I watched it the next day.  Kris Bryant caught the last ball.

Grandpa waited 65 years.  Daddy waited 37 years.  And I waited 3 years.  Lucky boy.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween from Leadanardo. He is the leader of the ninja turtles.  He is my favorite teenage turtle.  He has a sword and blue mask.  I don't like the blue mask but I like the sword.  Sometimes Leadanardo's mom carries his sword so he can carry candy.

Riley looks a little scared of Leadanardo.

Just Chillin

What am I up to today?  Ahh...just chillin and watching TV.

Target Practice

This is one of my favorite things to do...hit baseballs at Daddy.  I like to practice baseball.  I pretend that I am the Cubs at Wrigley Field.  I already have my home run trot down.

I Went To The Holiday World

We went to the Holiday World place and Rowan came with us.  Baby Maggie didn't come because she is a baby.  Babies are too little for the holiday rides.  I went when I was one year old but I don't remember.  This was Rowan's first time. 

I rode in a rocket ship and sea horses and in fishes.  Riley was too big for the fish ride but I liked it.  I like all of the rides.  It makes me mad when I'm not big enough to ride them all with the girls. 

They have a big pool with a lot of slides.  I did the slides over and over and over.  Sometimes Mommy and Daddy went with me but I liked going by myself because I'm big enough to do that.  And I spent 30 minutes climbing on a hippo.  But it wasn't a real hippo.  And we rode in a canoe but then our butts got a little wet but I wasn't wearing my swimming shorts.

And I drove a car with Daddy.  And we didn't crash.  But I think the most fun ride was the Scrambled Eggs (Scarecrow Scrambler).  Here is a funny bideo of us being scrambled....but it might make you dizzy and fall down.

No Hands!

 

I went to a soccer game at the baseball field.  Did you know they play soccer at the baseball field too?  I play soccer but I didn't know that.  The baseball field is where Buddy Bat lives but he wasn't there for the soccer.  But I saw him on a picture taking out the trash.

The first time the green goalie guy picked up the ball, I yelled "no hands!" because you are not supposed to use your hands.  Daddy was laughing. I didn't know about goalies because my soccer doesn't have them.  There was a green goalie and a yellow goalie.  They can use their hands.  

And I killed some cotton candy.  

Colors, shapes learned to tell...

I am learning lots of stuff in school.   My teacher teached us about red and circles this week.  Everyone is the class wore red.  And I got to wear my IU shirt!  I am really good at drawing circles now.  I can draw lots of circles all over all of the papers at home.  

I made some friends in my school but I don't know their names yet.  I see Liam at the cheerleading football games because his sister is a cheerleader like Riley and Luci.  And I know Chelsea from the afternoon class but she isn't my morning class.  She was my friend before.  When I get out of school I sit with Luci and then go hug Luci's and Riley's friends (chasing the older women already).

Off To School!

I am a big boy now....I went to my first day of school today!  Now I can go to school like my girls.  I got a new backpack and a Paw Patrol lunch bag and some crayons and stuff.

I was so excited to be going with them.  Mommy and Daddy went into my classroom and showed me where to put my my backpack.  I was too shy to stand by my teacher.  But she is nice.  We played with play doh.  And I colored a picture of my hands.  I like to color.  And I have some friends but I don't know their names.  

And I ate pancakes for my first lunch!  Pancakes for lunch that was so funny.  I liked my first day of preschool.  Then Daddy came to pick me up. 

(Look Mommy and Daddy forgot to fix my backpack straps!  Well, it is the first day for everybody.)

The J-Man in Florida

 

We went to the beach in Florida.  Me and Riley and Luci and Mommy, Daddy.  And also Rowan and baby Maggie and Aunt Sissy and Steven.  Who else?  Jack.  And Landon and Kevin and Kristie.  Oh yeah, and Gram and Papi.  That is a lot of people!  All of my families!

In Florida they have the beach.  The beach is fun.  Making sandcastles and rolling in the sand.  We dug some holes and put the ocean water in them.  And we go on the beach and take pictures.  

We went to fish restaurant with a lot of monies on the walls.  They had a bird in there but it was sleeping.  And in Florida they have nice big pool to swim in too.

And I do some amazing cannonball jumps!

Silly Julian

Do I have enough sun screen on? I did it myself.

I'm ready to work!  I like to help by wearing work glubs (gloves) on my feet.  But I do have glasses on.  Safety first!

Cubs Game

We went to the Cubs game in Cincinnati to see my favorite player Kris Bryant and Rizzo and Javy.  I was at my house getting ready for the Cubs game today practicing my pitching with Cubs glove.

(I know all about the leg kick but I just need to get it on my front leg :-) )

I took the glove to the game to catch a baseball but we didn't catch any baseballs by us.  They were too far.  The Lord Boys came to the game with us.  I had fun with Carter and Aaron (aka two of the Lord Boys).

The Cubs won the game in 15 innings but we had to leave after the 10th inning because it was too late.
