Yard Work

We were up early this morning!! I think, mamma and babba would like to sleep in some in the weekend. I get to stay up late in the evenings and when they ask me, if I am going to sleep in, I say: Yes!! But, then when next morning arrives, I am up at the crack of dawn....ha ha, tricked you! Wake up!!!!
We have worked in the yard all day today. First, we moved an empty birdhouse, so that it would not be in the way. Then we assembled my swing and tied the ropes to a branch way up in the tree. Mamma went grocery shopping and babba and I headed over to Lowes for supplies for the next project: Beautification of my play area! We dug, carried, raked and see how neat my play area is now.I love the flowers in our yard and I love smelling them too. I'll bury my entire face in the flower and...mmmmmmmmm.
Sprinkler time!!! I am really brave now and play and play until I am soaking wet.
Finally, ice cream after all the hard work of the day. I have not had time for a nap today, I've been busy working and playing.I think, I'll wake up very early early tomorrow morning too. I had so much fun today and don't want to miss out on anything tomorrow either.

Tiger Davis

Daddy promised me we would go golfing together; well guess what, he picked me up very early from daycare and we went to Oakhurst Golf Club. I was so excited and I knew we were there when we pulled into the parking lot....yeeeeahhhhh!!!

This is me "Tiger - Ben" on hole #2


I learn from daddy, to take a good warm up swing before the actual drive. I am using a Taylor Made Junior-BLUU-Driver.


I am still trying to correct my hook, as you can see I am in the light rough; no problem I can still make the green on my next shot. Daddy's ball usually goes a little right, but mine goes left; daddy says I hit the ball like grand-dad always hooking left. I don't know exactly what all this funny golf language means, just stay out of my way...I am swinging hard like a Tiger.



As you can see, I am ready to drive to the next hole.



Thanks daddy for taking me golfing, I really loved it; lets do it again and again.

Cool down with the Sprinkler

Hi there, it has been so hot these few days. Daddy and I decided to turn on the sprinkler in the backyard to cool us down. I am not sure why, but usually I do not want to get near them. Finally daddy carried me through and we both got wet. Then daddy showed off and ran around in circles and jumped over the sprinkler by himself. Guess what, I can play in the sprinkler by myself now; see the video of me playing.

Friends, omma and abbi

I have this book called Me by me. It is a big box, shaped like a book. Inside, there is a scrap book where I can write in how tall I am, how much I weigh, eye and hair color and so on. There are stickers, colors and clay too. We are halfway through the book and we have done hand and foot prints.When I am not inside in my creative mood, I hang out with my friends outside. I prefer to play with my closest neighbors: Nathan, Delany and Martha.
One morning this week, I brought my blue rolling suitcase to daycare. That day, abbi came to pick me up and I got to spend three days at their house. I was really looking forward to the visit. On our way to daycare that morning, as we were making a left turn out on the big road to get to daycare, I yelled from the back seat: Noooo, the other way to abba!! I stayed with them, because mamma and babba were on airplanes. I had a great time and we did lots and lots of things. Below is a photo from Provo, UT. (Mamma says it is beautiful up there)
On Friday, omma, abbi and I went to the airport to get babba. We rode in the bus - although, not in the bus that I wanted to ride in. We saw the airplanes and trains. Later, we met mom at the restaurant. I was so excited and worked up that I could not sit still and eat - at all!!! I stood up, danced and talked. A big armadillo walked around and handed out balloons. When it was far away, I waved and called out for it, but when it came close and wanted to hand me a balloon and give me a high five, I hid behind mamma. We went to visit great grandma and -grandpa today. We were treated to a newly baked cake and I made sure to water all their plants.

Let's have a party

Chasing Pigeons

A video from last weekend, when John and I spent some time at Old McDonald's Farm

Roger Waters

I spent another weekend with grandma and granddad. Mamma and babba found out, Roger Waters (from Pink Floyd) was in town. I was so excited when they showed up. I ran straight into my bedroom and grabbed my new, blue rolling suitcase (just like dad's) and wanted to take it out to granddad's car right away.

Later in the evening, mamma and babba headed over to the Cynthia Woods Pavilion for the concert. They stood in line for a good while and managed to get a camera through security, they munched on popcorn and drank Pepsi and Beer. They were camping out on the lawn, so they didn't get the good pictures, they had hoped for. And, I am not allowed to post concert videos here. So, I guess we just have to believe them when they say it was a great show from start to finish in real Pink Floyd style.An experience of a life time!
Personally, this is not quite my music style. I prefer Wiggles, Veggietales and all airplane music on YouTube.

Yalla!

Sometimes, we will turn on Benjamin's laptop, go to YouTube and search for Airplanes. From there, Benjamin continues to browse airplane videos on his own. So, these days, there is no telling what kind of music, we'll be listening to. It usually goes something like this: We start off with some loud hip hop, then techno, a little Disney, Dutch rap and finally the last hit from the Middle East.

Lots of fun

It's been a while since I blogged. I have been so busy lately. Since the evenings are really nice, all the kids in the neighborhood play outside until it gets dark and it is bed time. Sometimes, we play ball, sometimes badminton and sometimes we set up our tents. Below, we are 7 kids on a mission at the International Space Station.Last weekend and this one too, John and I spent half a day at Old McDonald's farm. We met around 10-10.30, bought feed for the animals and ran around and fed them, played and just had a great time. Last weekend, when we fed the animals, one of the deer stole half my feed. I wasn't very happy about that, but John saved the day and shared his bag of feed with me. We also pretended to be roosters: Cock-a-doodle-do!!!!!We tried to catch craw fish, but, they didn't bite.
Of course, we needed a break too. We had brought lunch. I had told mom, what I wanted in my sandwich, but when we sat down to eat, I was not interested in it at all. John's food looked so much better. These days, I think that what everyone else has, seems more interesting.
We rode the horses after lunch. I loved it and wanted to keep going round and round and round.
We have also had a good time at home. Babba and I made peanut butter cookies one evening.
And, we like to hang out on the sofa and watch basket ball.
One day, babba and I played mini golf. Our usual entertainment park closed a while back, but a new, indoor mini golf place just opened just down the street from us. It was so much fun. It is dark inside with lots of neon lights and animals.

Mmmm, ice cream afterwards!!!
I am so glad spring/summer is back!
