Happy Fathers' Day!

happy fathers' day to my dad!

i made this shirt. mom drew the letters, and i colored them. i also told her what i wanted the shirt to say. because really, my daddy is so cool. elisabeth helped with the shirt. mom did not want

her to, but i said it was okay. i told mom she was trying to draw me a tie. that is what it looks like, that purple line.

here are some things i like about my dad:

"He likes to play fun games with me, like ToonTown."

"He is sillier than other dads."

"He loves to have beef jerky."

"Also, he loves loves loves candy, too."

"Also, he hugs me and he kisses me."


also, happy fathers' day to my pappy and papa and grandpa! these are pictures of me with them at various times in my life. that is Pappy, teaching me how to hit. and grandpa is giving me a ride on his 4wheeler. and that is me and papa waiting in the waiting room for elisabeth to be born.

happy fathers' day, everyone!

grandma and papa and aunt michelle and uncle jeff

last day, we went to my grandma and papa's house to see them and also my aunt michelle and uncle jeff, who are visiting.

most of the day, i pretended to be a dog named spot. papa gave me the name spot. i guess he did not like my idea of "furry butt" very much. aunt michelle is going to have a baby boy in october, and she said that seeing how much energy i have makes her a little nervous.

i did stop for a minute to sit with papa on the porch. and i sniffed some flowers.

indiana

as i told you a few days ago, we went to indiana. we go there every year, but this year it was kind of crazy! there were storms and hail, and the power went off. this meant that we spent a lot of time driving around in the car, where there was air conditioning. my dad needs that. while we were out driving, a storm hit, and there was water on the road up to people's headlights in some places. mom and dad seemed kind of tense, but it was sort of exciting to me. then the water went down, and the weather cleared up, but the power was still off when we got back to the inn. it stayed off until the next afternoon. me and elisabeth took naps in our underwear, but we still sweated a lot.

on the way home, i helped my mom look for tornadoes out the window, after we got through st. louis. we heard after we got home that indiana flooded the day after we left. i am pretty interested in weather now.

these are some pictures from our trip. as it turns out, indiana is a good place to play Sam and Betty vs. Every Tree. and it is a good place to jump on the bed. it is also a good place to go to the mall. we saw noddy there. i used to watch him on TV before i got into power rangers and batman. i think mom was a lot more excited to see noddy than i was.

simpsonized!

we went to indiana for a few days, and now we are home.
when we came home, mom spent way too much time making us look like the simpsons.

she says we should post real pictures soon. when she finds the camera.

sam version 4.5

mom said that today is my half birthday. well, there you go. i am four and a half.

yesterday was Memorial Day. we went to the park and cooked out with our friends from missouri. mom told me to make the weirdest face i could. as if she really needs to prompt me to make a weird face.

this is me and elisabeth in the yard today. this activity is what i officially call "Me and Betty V.S. Every Tree." she says that V.S. stands for "versus," but i like to say "Vee Ess."

do i look like a lady?

i think it is time to grow a beard.

graduate

this weekend i went and graduated. this means i moved up from one class to the next. we had a big graduation at Ms. Marsha's church, and we sang songs and got certificates. i sang the loudest on "He's got the whole world in his hands," because mom and dad and grandma and papa said they heard me all the way at their seats. i sang it a little bit weird, and mom laughed. some kids in my class cried and wanted to get off the stage, but i did not. i like to be up there singing.

the other day, Ms. Marsha (she is like the principal) told my mom that next year she is going to put me in a class that really challenges me. whatever that means!

i had a lot of fun while my grandma and papa were here. they brought me this big bouncy see-saw thing, and they brought their dog Sugar, too. my papa has boots just like me, but mom did not get a picture of us in our boots. she did get a kinda dark picture of me and my teacher Ms. Paula.

we went to dollar general, and i just wore my power ranger socks and no shoes. me and my grandma were just going to wait in the car while papa went in and got coffee filters, but i got to go in and pick out a helicopter, and i slid up and down the aisles in my socks. my grandma said i could run really fast.

Happy Mothers' Day!

the other day, i went to the movies with my dad. we went to see speed racer on the day it opened, and it was really good. my favorite part was when they won the race before the last race. sorry, i hope i did not just spoil anything for anybody.

after the movie, we went to barnes and noble and picked out a present and a card for my mom for mothers' day. i listened to all the music cards, and i picked out this one. and i looked really hard at all the books, and i picked out this cookbook for making cookies. she opened it today, and she really liked it! she said we will make cookies together sometime this week. she also said that we are her best presents of all.

happy mothers' day to my mom and grandma and other grandma and nany and great grandma!

p.s. i am a good guy that saved the whole world. i am a ninja that is not bad. did you know that? that is what i just told mom. i have to go be ninjas with betty now.

dueling

today, it was pretty outside, and dad had just mowed the grass.

i took advantage of this time to teach elisabeth how to fight like a jedi. i fought Count Dooku while she watched my technique.

as you can see, i am a good teacher. she already knows how to dual wield her lightsabers.

several things

several things are happening lately.

for one, our plants are growing. you have to look at them real close, cause they are just little right now. but we planted the seeds, and they are all sprouting! my strawberries were last, but they finally came up! mom has tomatoes, so we both have fruits. and dad and betty both have flowers ("zillias" and daisies). we also have a chia dinosaur that my dad mostly planted. it is very fluffy right now.

mom asked me the other day where my jaw is. i told her it is in my hand, next to my fingernail. and it makes my fingernails sharp. and she said she thought it was actually in my face. but i told her that no, it started in my nose, then it went to my cheek, and then to my neck and down my arm and into my fingernails. and there in my fingernails, i trapped it. i think it was the first time anyone told her the truth about jaws, so she was pretty surprised.

today i made up a funny name: Bill Cosby Buttcracks

it is springtime!

this means that it rains a lot, but it is also a lot nicer outside.

no jackets are necessary for playing in the backyard, and sometimes no pants, either!
hey. if you can not play in your underwear in your own backyard, where can you play in your underwear?

here is a picture of me reading mom the directions for our plants that we planted. i planted a strawberry, and elisabeth planted a daisy, and mom planted a tomato. we put the seeds in there, and they are supposed to grow pretty soon. i will keep you updated on that!

if you will notice, the picture is only from the waist up. mom says that even if i do not care if people see me in my underwear now, that might not always be the case.

happy easter!

here is the story of easter:

God died on a cross. Then he came back to life, and so that is why we celebrate Easter!

i made sure to remind mom of the Easter story in the van on the way to church, in case she had forgotten.

i am good at finding eggs and helping my sister find eggs!
red peeps are the best.
you get presents at Easter. i had forgotten! the easter beagle brings them.
also, my dad is pretty silly.

we have been busy!

we decided to do another world tour this spring break, like last year. dad was supposed to go to kansas, but instead, he stayed home and threw up and went to the bathroom a lot. mom and elisabeth and i drove around and saw everybody, and we were already gone by the time we found out dad was so sick. we were sad for him, but he said it was maybe better that we were not there to catch it.

we went to see my grandpa, and we celebrated his birthday, even though it was a month late. he didn't mind. we gave him jelly beans, but elisabeth wanted to eat them all.

then we went to see my cousins and my aunt keri. we played board games and gamecube games, and we even jumped on the trampoline when it was not raining. and we all slept in the same room! it was pretty fun.

the weekend before spring break, we went to see grandma and pappy. we played with balloons, and we also went to the park to film the Starship Millerprise III. i will let you know when it hits theaters! if you will notice from this last picture, my hair is kinda shaggy. i got a haircut in between the grandma and pappy weekend and the world tour weekend. i do not really like haircuts, but i guess they are necessary.

more pictures from the zoo!
