2009-05-12T08:47:00.002-04:00

Bumpa bought me a toy about Power Rangers and then everybody else gave me some. And then I came back to my house. The End. That's my story.

The End of An Era

2008-12-18T20:56:00.002-05:00

It's been a while folks...

I am sad to say that we are on a permanent hiatus from this blog. With the new restaurant, two kids under 3, two dogs, 2 other websites, and a super crazy schedule my moms just can't keep up.

Head on over to our Flickr that is updated frequently to check out new pics of me & my sister Louisiana!

Thanks for reading,

CARNIVAL FUN

2008-07-22T14:37:00.000-04:00

Happy Birthday to me!!!!

The Akron Zoo is Awesome!

2008-06-17T22:06:00.005-04:00

My 'rents took me to the sweet Akron Zoo and I got to see jellyfish and touch a starfish. My dad helped me climb this big wall and I even got to play in Frontier Land. Dad taught me how to churn butter and I showed this little girl how to. Louisiana had fun too but she got tired and fell asleep in her stroller. I love hangin out with my parents and sister. They rock hardcore.

Louisiana & Catcher

My First Trip to the Dentist

2008-06-04T18:03:00.002-04:00

ZOO SCHOOL

2008-05-22T10:09:00.002-04:00

My mommy usually takes me to Zoo School but this week our whole family went even sister. It was way fun! I love hippos and rhinos and I even got to see giraffes up super close.

Louisiana is by far the cutest baby ever. Seriously.

2008-05-17T10:44:00.003-04:00

Earth Day at the Zoo

2008-04-21T19:50:00.002-04:00

Lake Metroparks Farmpark

2008-04-15T10:26:00.006-04:00

Me & the fam headed to Kirtland to go this really cool place called Lake Metroparks Farmpark. I got to meet all these really cool animals and even met a baby lamb named Gator who followed me around. My mommy said we couldn't take him home because my daddy would want to eat him. I got to hang out with sheep and even pet a little horse. It was so fun!

The Akron Zoo

2008-04-07T13:46:00.005-04:00

Because we are members to the Cleveland Zoo, we get to go to the Akron Zoo for free!!! We all went last week when it warmed up and had so so so so so much fun!!! I say leopards, lions, flamingo's, alpaca's, & zaboomofoo! The lions were growling at me and my mommy said they were hungry for me. But I told her that lions eat chicken.

A Day in the Jungle

2008-03-27T08:17:00.005-04:00

Me, Lou, mom, & dad all took a trip to the jungle yesterday. It was pretty fun and my dad found the beginnings of ramps (wild onions) which he is obsessed with. Lou even had a good time but then she fell asleep. I helped push her stroller because I am a BIG BOY. I think that we are going to go on a walk every week as long as it's nice and I can't wait!

School is the Sweetness

2008-03-26T14:19:00.004-04:00

My & my sister Lou went to visit grammy at her school. My moms & dads came too. It was a super blast and I got to eat lunch and play with a bunch of first graders. My moms & dads read a story to the entire class and I helped read Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See with everybody. Mommy also put me in time out because I was kicking people and she says that's not cool.

Speaking of my moms, she's famous. Check out this article that she did with CNN.

Loungin' w/ my Pitbull

2008-03-18T16:30:00.004-04:00

The Rainforest

2008-02-25T11:51:00.005-05:00

My moms took me & Lou to the Cleveland Rainforest and we had a blast. I had so much fun and I held mom's hand the entire time. I also got to check out this awesome crocodile who was following me like crazy and mom said he was gonna eat me but then I told her that he was behind the glass and couldn't get me. Seriously I told her that.

Catcher Goes Crazy

2008-02-19T12:22:00.002-05:00

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

2008-02-04T19:04:00.001-05:00

Me & sister Lou and my 'rents checked out the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Sunday. It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring. There were no dinosaurs and no toys so I hated it. The only cool thing was this giant monster that hung from the ceiling that my mom told me was in a movie called The Wall (which I am not allowed to see yet). It was so scary but everything else was lame.

My Silly Brother

2008-01-28T09:21:00.001-05:00

My brother was making me giggle when he kept swinging my swing. He was doing cherry bumps which kind of scared me but also made me laugh. I like my brother even though he thinks my name is One.

Me & Me Sled

2008-01-28T09:15:00.001-05:00

My 'rents got me this sweet sled Xmas and my dad took me to this hill to go sledding. He couldn't take any pictures cuz he had to watch me every sec. So my mom took some pics of me before we left.

Painting the Winter Blues Away

2008-01-22T13:58:00.002-05:00

It is so freezing outside that we can't go anywhere. So me and my mommy got some paints out and made a beautiful painting. Mommy also painted me and then she let me paint her. It was way fun!

Who is the Cutest Girl Ever?

2008-01-21T19:40:00.001-05:00

I AM!

Me & JP

2008-01-13T14:48:00.000-05:00

My daddy's friend JP came over last night to play with me. We played in my house and he even came in for a cup of coffee even though he is super tall. Then we made a T-Rex out of bones which I would later end up smashing. It was brilliant.

My Mom Says...

2008-01-06T20:33:00.000-05:00

That me and my sister Lou are the best looking kids in the world. She also says we are the cutest and the funniest and the happiest and the best. I agree with her.

I like Cook Chefin'

2008-01-06T20:27:00.001-05:00

My Uncle Mike & my Aunt Liz got me this sweet backpack of cooking gear for xmas. So me & my mommy decided to make some chocolate chip cookies. Mommy let me do everything. I dumped the mix in (cause we don't start from scratch when daddy's at work) and then I even got to turn on the mixer. I also used my spatula to put the cookies on the cookie sheet. It was really fun and the cookies were really really good. I even told my mommy that she did a "great job!"

2008-01-02T23:43:00.000-05:00

My moms & me have been playing paparazzi., I took some pics of her & me and she took some pics of me & Lou. It's cool cuz I just got my own digital camera so know I can take even more pictures of my awesome family.

Merry Christmas to Me!!! And my sister Louie, too.

2007-12-27T20:40:00.000-05:00

My sister Louie (that's what I call her now) & me had an awesome XMAS! Louis got mad clothes and I got the most awesomest presents ever! My mommy & daddy got me the super sweet house and my grammy & papa got me this super cool cook chefin' kichen! Then my 'rents set them up next to each other and now it's like I live in my very own village. Potato even plays with me know cuz I can make him breakfast in my kitchen.

Bathtime Fun

2007-12-18T17:47:00.001-05:00

Yesterday night my moms was given me a bath when my sister Lou woke up. My mom thought that she could bathe two kids at once but she couldn't so she jumped in the bath with me & Lou with all of her clothes on! She's soooo crazy! After the bath I hung out with my sis and tried to shield her eyes from mommy's paparazzi flash.

I Am The Cutest Baby Ever.

2007-12-17T11:30:00.000-05:00

I take a bath every Monday, Wednesday, & Friday and usually I hate it. But today I had a fun time cuz my mom and brother got in with me. Then after my brother helped blow dry my crazy hair. He is so cool. Do you like my hair? After my bath it stick straight up and is curly. I really like it.

I Love My Moms & Potato

2007-12-14T10:37:00.000-05:00

I really like to sleep with my mommy. The other day Tato laid down with us and I was a little unsure of it. But he was so warm that I didn't want him to leave. Best sleep ever.

My Big Brother is Cool

2007-12-12T20:56:00.000-05:00

I am really glad that I have a big brother cuz he is so funny and he sings me songs all the time. I love songs and he knows alot of them. Today I hung out with him and he kept giving me kisses which I really like cuz he always tastes like food which I can't eat yet but I wanna.

Breakfast with the Fat Man

2007-12-09T16:45:00.001-05:00

Me & the fam headed up to the Science Center for Breakfast w/ Santa even though I hate him. He freaks me out and I cry really loud if I have to talk to him. But I had a really good time other than that. I made a thermometer and I met these chicks and we spun around the poles. It was cool. Plus my sister Lou came and she was really good and didn't cry at all. YaaaY!

My Giant Chalkboard

2007-12-04T22:42:00.000-05:00

Mommy made this door into a giant chalkboard. So now instead of doing chalk all over I primarily focus on the door. Although sometimes I like to write on all the walls in every room of my house!

My Big Brother thinks I Eat Crackers

2007-11-30T20:39:00.001-05:00

My bro Catcher & I were hanging in my ma's bed and he decided that I wasn't eating enough so I should eat some yummy crackers. Little does he know cuz mom and me went to see our Doc and she said that I am 11 lbs and I am gaining more than an ounce and a half a day, which is double the national average. Yep double! I'm also tall and my head is big. But anyways, Catcher decided that since I couldn't eat the crackers he would give me a big 'ol kiss instead!

Our Christmas Tree Adventure

2007-11-29T19:29:00.001-05:00

My daddy, mommy, me & Lou all bundled up and went to Heritage Farms to get a X-Mas tree.

it was really cold so mommy and sista stayed in the car & me & daddy picked out the best tree ever and I helped cut it down with a real saw.
We didn't realize how enormous it was. It took up our entire living room.

Mommy said I could help out with Lou so I held her in my arms while mommy put on ornaments.
Once all the lights and ornaments were up I helped Daddy put the star on.

Our tree looked really good but then it fell over,
which scared the crap outta mommy so she made both of us sit by here while daddy finished.Check it out !

It's Very Cold Out

2007-11-14T11:10:00.001-05:00

My whole family went to the Natural History Museum and I saw so many daimers (aka dinosaurs). I also saw an eagle and an owl and this deer tried to eat my daddy's fingers. My sis Lou had a good time too. She was awake almost the entire time we were there and she even touched a dinosaur. She is so super cool!

Vito the Bodygaurd

2007-11-10T17:46:00.000-05:00

My mom has this dog and his name is Vito. I am sure my brother has talked about him on hear. Anyways he loves me so so so so so much. He loves me so much that he has offered his services as a bodyguard to me. And guess what I took him up on his offer. You know there are so many paparazzi (mom) trying to take my pictures that II really feel like I need some additional protection. Plus he licks my feet if my socks fall off.

2007-11-09T21:34:00.001-05:00

My girlfriend Bo came over tonight and I have to say I had the best time ever. Not only did my mom let us play like maniacs but she also let us get naked and dump out all my toys and costumes. As you can see we decided that we should be pirates for the eve...

My sister Lou slept through it all.

2007-11-07T20:15:00.001-05:00

Hello Everybody,

Louisiana here. My brother Catcher has been helping me learn how to blog. Today my daddy & I fell asleep on this really big chair but then I got really hungry so I woke him up. He's pretty cool and I like hangin' with him but my mommy's got the food.

2007-11-05T17:17:00.000-05:00

I love hanging out with my little sister. I even let her sit on my super sweet flame chair that I got for my birthday. That's how much I dig her.

Hiking w/ Dad & Tato

2007-11-04T13:50:00.001-05:00

As you may have noticed, my blog has changed a little bit. I asked my mommy if we could do something so my sister could be involved so she helped me. I hope you like it.

After my mommy & me changed my blog, my daddy took me to the forest with Potato. We went on a really long hike and we picked mushrooms (daddy did, I am not allowed to touch 'em) and ran in the leaves. It was so much fun and the leaves are so crazy with all their colors and stuff.

I'm a BIG Brother!!!

2007-11-02T10:45:00.001-04:00

Akron Zoo

2007-10-17T23:07:00.001-04:00

My mommy & daddy took me to the zoo in Akron. I had such an awesome time and I think I liked it way better than the Cleveland zoo. It is super clean and is really easy to run through. Plus since my mommy is really big cause she is about to have my sister it was way easy for her to walk. Also the animals come really really close and I sat next to a tiger and he wanted me to rub his belly.

2007-10-13T09:13:00.000-04:00

My mommy & daddy & me went to the pumpkin store over the weekend and I got to pick out two awesome pumpkins. I also got to run around in the cornfield with my dad and stand up on a wagon. It was alot of fun and later on when we got home my daddy started to cut up the pumpkins but then I got tired so we are gonna do it later or on Monday.

Sorry I haven't been around so much, my mommy is super prego with my little sister and things have been crazy.

2007-09-21T14:24:00.001-04:00

I love grass! Especially rolling around in it after my singin' class!

2007-09-16T21:03:00.000-04:00

My daddy & mommy took me to a Cleveland Indians baseball game today. We took the choo choo subway downtown from Daddy's work and the walked to the game through this really cool tunnel. Our seats were way up high but these crazy birds kept flying by and that was way cool. I also got some popcorn & peanuts and daddy ,mommy, & me snuck down to the sweet seats and watched the game until I flipped out in the 5th and mommy & daddy took me back to the choo choo subway s we could go home for my nap. But it was awesome and I love baseball.

2007-09-12T21:36:00.001-04:00

This is me & my flame chair. My moms & pops got it for me for my birthday and now I really like it cuz I figured out that I can jump off of it and land on Vito. It's not that high too so I don't get hurt that much if I fall to hard.

2007-09-10T21:03:00.000-04:00

My mommy & grandpa took me to the Great Lakes Science Center and I had so much fun. I got to play in the Polymer Playhouse, I learned about Global Warming, and I made my own cloud. I also went to a bubble show but got bored within a couple minutes. It was really cool to hang with my bumpa especially cause I hadn't seen him in awhile cuz we were in Florida visiting Disney.

2007-09-09T18:34:00.000-04:00

I love my dog Potato. He is such a good boy and he even lets me steal his toy and run circles around him.

2007-09-09T18:31:00.001-04:00

Mommy says Uggs are out now but I told her that Australian Shearling boots with holes in them never go out of style.

2007-08-30T13:24:00.001-04:00

While I was in Florida I got to visit my other grandma. I went over her house and she had this fish that came out of the ocean. Later on I ate it.

2007-08-28T19:35:00.001-04:00

Whew...what a week! My mommy & daddy surprised me with a trip to Disney World & Epcot. It was so much fun. I went on so many rides and even got to go to a Pirate & Princess party at The Magic Kingdom. I stayed up until midnight! I love Disney World, my favorite ride was Pirates of the Caribbean and my least fave was the teacups. They were kinda scary. After both parks I was so tired that I fell asleep in my stroller.

2007-08-18T21:21:00.000-04:00

Today my daddy did a tomato tasting at the farmer's market in Peninsula. Me & mommy thought it would be fun to go help him so we got up really early and drove to the valley. I had so much fun running around like a crazy man. I even met some ladies. Mommy let me get super duper dirty and she let me eat tons of blueberries and mato's! It was awesome. I hope I can go every week.

My girlfriend Bo got this choo choo train for her b-day and she said that I could have it because it took up way too much room in her house. I told her that sounded awesome and she could come over anytime to ride. Even though now that I know how to ride the choo choo I may not be sharing so easily.... Just Kidding Bo!

2007-08-09T08:50:00.000-04:00

My mommy & daddy started to remodel the bathroom and my daddy asked me to help demo the sink. It was so much fun but it was really hard. Mommy said the sink had been there since 1976 which is a really really long time ago.

2007-08-04T21:06:00.001-04:00

It's the day before my 2nd birthday and me & the moms are running all sorts of errands to get ready for my Super Sweet Second birthday party. We went to Borders and read some libros (that's spanish for books) and then we went to the grocery store and bought some food. I tried to sneak m & m's but my ma's wasn't having it. Then they took my car cart away from me which really got my goat.

2007-06-29T08:15:00.001-04:00

My papa had a birthday party last week and mom let me pick out his presents so I got him the new Macca (Paul McCartney) cd & some fireworks. He really liked them both! Plus I got to rock out and play with all my cousins. Sweet!

2007-06-27T10:07:00.000-04:00

My mommy & daddy took me to my friend Gabe's birthday party on Sunday. I had such a blast playing on his swingset. I hope my mommy gets me a swingset for my birthday!

2007-06-17T21:26:00.000-04:00

It has been awhile...

I have been playing alot outside and my mommy and daddy have been taking me all over this great state of Ohio. Not much time for the computer you know? Today we went over yo my apa and ama's house to celebrate Father's Day. It was so cool, I played on all these great toys and I even got to hold a frog in my very own hands! Plus apa let me open some of his father's day gifts that my mommy got him and I really liked it!

My mommy and daddy took me to my very first theatre movie today. Well actually it wasn't my exact first b/c my daddy took me to Harry Potter when I was a wee little one. I only lasted 20 minutes in that one. This movie was different, Shrek the third held my attention for the majority of the movie especially cuz there were a lot of other kids playing. My favorite part was coming out of the theatre and seeing these guys, The Simpsons. They make me laugh so much I love them.

I am so super duper sorry that we haven't been posting as much. My mommy & daddy are trying to open a restaurant and that seems to take up most of their time. Mommy has been working to so she doesn't want to use her time with me sitting on the computer. She would much rather chase me around and tickle my belly.

I went to this place called Cookie Cutters today. I thought I was gonna get some cookies but instead I got my hair cut. No more mullet. Only mohawk.

Me & mommy went to the Cleveland Rain forest and thew zoo last Friday. It was neat. I had never been to the rain forest before so I really freaked out and ran around. I saw so many sweet animals, my favorite was the turtles and the orangutan. He kept looking at me like he wanted to play with me. I also really liked the elephants and chasing these seagulls. I learned how to do that in Florida.

There are so many super fun things to do in my backyard. Today I climbed in the dog toy cylinder and threw balls out for Potato. I fit in it perfectly that when my mommy started calling me for dinner I hid in it and she couldn't find me!
