happy birthday to me!

as trevor mentioned, today is my real, actual birthday. november 26. i am four, and next year, i will be five, then six, then seven, then eight... you get the picture. and eventually, i will be 19, and that is old.

i got transformers and transformer underwear and spiderman underwear and skittles for my birthday, this morning.


then, this afternoon we went to chuck e. cheese!



we rode rides and played games and danced. it is a pretty fun place. i got a birthday crown, because i am the king!

then we went and got a christmas tree at hobby lobby! we will decorate soon. i will keep you posted!

birthdays, take two!

over the weekend, we went to oklahoma to see my grandma and pappy and nany and great grandma and great uncle and uncle and aunt and 5 cousins. it was a house-full, and we all had a great time. even the cousin who vomited. as you can see, it is a bit difficult to get a good picture of the seven of us.

elisabeth and i celebrated our birthdays again, and we got a lot of neat presents. i got a transformers outfit and a transformers computer thingie, and some hotwheels, and a sit-n-spin. and mom made my cake out of dirt. she told me later it was actually oreos. if she had told me that at the beginning i might have actually eaten some of it the first time around. you can see here that i wasn't very excited about eating a dirt cake.

it was pappy's birthday too, and he had about a million candles. we had to help him blow them all out. we got him a deal or no deal game for the tv, and i won more money than anyone.

turkey and cake

today we drove down to see my grandma and papa and uncle chris for thanksgiving.

since i was born so close to thanksgiving (i was born the day before, in '03), we always celebrate my birthday when we do thanksgiving. and now that my sister's birthday is also so close to thanksgiving, we celebrate both of ours this day. first we eat gigantic plates full of turkey and other things, and we take naps, and then we eat cake!

i made the rolls for thanksgiving dinner this year, and they tasted really good. everyone said so. it is a tradition now, since i helped make them last year too.

i got a lot of neat presents, including a rocking chair and a remote control car and a finding nemo alarm clock. mom and dad said the clock went off in the trunk for about the last 5 minutes of our trip home, but i did not hear it. i was asleep. this might make us all question the usefulness of the alarm clock later on, when i actually have things i will need to wake up for at certain times. but! it is still really cool.

our cakes were really cookies. elisabeth had hearts with circles. i had a dinosaur! we had candles with our numbers on them, and when you put the cakes next to each other, it said we are 14.

elisabeth and i also got some balloons, but we accidentally let betty's escape on our way out to the car. i hate when that happens. i cried and cried. i cried so much, it felt like " a circle of blood was coming over my eyes." mom and dad explained that that is a sinusy headache that you get when you cry too much.

monsters!

mom and amber made this box for me with little monsters in it. my picture is in there with them, and they are yelling my name!

it is for me, and it is really good! that is how i feel about it, anyway.

snakes and other fun things.

so the other day i was watching this movie with my friend Jess. she is the one who likes dinosaurs. anyway, in the movie, a guy cut a snake's head off, and there was blood coming out. and Jess was really scared. she did not want to watch it because it was super gross! you should never cut a snake's head off. it will grow back, and he will bite you. mom laughed when i told her that, but she better be careful.

my dad finally got back from all his trips, and i am glad he is back. it is more fun around here when he is here too. mom had a headache and so i had to be quiet all the time. he brought me a really super cool matchbox bus with mickey mouse on it! and some cookies shaped like mickey and donald and goofy's heads. i shared them with my sister. dad said he did not actually go to disney world, just to orlando, because he would never go to disney world without me.

also i went to my cousins' house while my dad was in dallas, before he went to orlando. they are fun! i get to ride the four wheelers. i did not even crash into a tree this time.

also i got my hair cut, and mom said it makes me look old. i am not old, i am just three. nineteen is old.

everyone loves my stories lately!

here is an example.

this is a story about a cat named "your own poop."

your own poop did all kinds of things. he danced around. he ate stuff. he howled at the moon.

one day he met a super big gigantic cat named "buttocks."

buttocks looked like he might be a parent.

you know why?

because he pooped!

who is the tooth fairy?

so, halloween was on wednesday, and then the next day i went to the dentist. do not worry, kids, the candy did not rot my tooth overnight. this has been happening for a long time.

a while ago, my tooth chipped. and then it was hurting a lot. so mom took me to see dr. ward, and he said that a cavity made my tooth chip like that. and we made an appointment to come back in december and get a filling. but last week it really started hurting, and mom called, and they got me in to see dr. ward again, and he said that he would have to pull the tooth out. the weird thing is that all the other teeth look just fine. just that front one was rotting and yucky, so there must have been something wrong with it when it came in.

they made me eat some weird medicine and then gave me a "spongebob nose" to wear while dr. ward looked at my mouth. before i knew it, it was all over, and they said i did a super good job.

i got to leave the tooth in a little box for the tooth fairy. she came while i was taking my nap and left me a little bag with some coins in it, including a half dollar (my favorite) and a mexican coin! and also a letter with her picture on it. i think she is actually the lady at dr. ward's office.

halloween

the other day was halloween! i wanted to be batman, and so i was batman. i almost wanted to be a power ranger or a ninja turtle or a skeleton, but then i decided batman. my friend zane was batman also! but he looked different. durko said zane looked like movie era batman, and i looked like golden era batman.

anyway, on halloween this year, we went to church and got candy out of people's cars. that was pretty fun. i went around twice! i got a whole entire pumpkin bag full of candy, and it was really heavy. i still have a lot of it, because my mom and dad will not let me eat it all.

dad dressed up like cakey, and elisabeth dressed up like daddy. mom did not dress up, but she wore a weird hat.
