13 feet to the bottom - don't look down.

Today was the first time I got to jump off a diving board. I was kind of scared at first, but mommy and daddy did it so I had to do it. Mommy is way better at diving that daddy is. Mommy looked graceful when she did it, and let's just say daddy didn't. It was really fun. Mommy and daddy said we are going to have to make it a Sunday event. I'm looking forward to it.

And the Show Went On!!!

Daddy is nuts!!! That's all I have to say about this one!

It's A Hard Knock Life

Man guys summer is almost gone. Can you believe it? Pretty soon my days of playing golf and hanging out at the pool will be over. But that just means that Christmas is right around the corner. I can't wait for all the goodies that come along with Christmas and the SNOWWW! Well a few more days and mommy goes back to work, which means no more getting out of daycare early for me. Oh well, all good things must come to an end.

Junkanoo Rush

Today Daddy decided to help me get culturized to Junkanoo. For all my non-Bahamian viewers out there, it's a Bahamian Christmas and New Year's party where people dress in costumes and dance to the beat of goat skin drums, cowbells, trumpets, and whistles. Daddy and mommy and grammie and granddaddy went to the New Year's parade when mommywas between 4-5 months pregnant with me. I can still remember hearing the music and feeling the vibrations from the drums and trumpets. It was great. Anyway, daddy and I couldn't find goat skin drums or cowbells so we had to improvise. I love this stuff. 242 all the way.

It's Pool Time

Hey guys,

Ever since I got back from Nassau, I've been in love with the water. Unfortunately, we don't have any beaches up here so I have to just make due with the pool. What a tough life. Me and daddy go to the pool almost everyday. I used to be scared to get my face wet, but now I realize it's so much fun to put my head under water. Everything looks so neat down there. I like when daddy puts those weird looking glasses on and goes underneath the water with me. He looks goofy in those things. He said that one day I'll get to wear them too. I hope they have something else invented by then though. Anyway, daddy even lets me jump in, but I have to have my floaties on. The other day I decided NOT to heed his fatherly advice and jump in without my floaties. Guess what - I did not float. I was able to stay on the top by kicking my feet, but I got tired after a while and started to go down. Daddy quickly came to my rescue though. He's the man. Anyway, by next summer I hope I won't need those floaties anymore. Maybe then daddy will let me do a front flip off his shoulders. Oh one more thing, I got rid of my "BABY" (the pacifer) this week. Mommy was out of town at a conference so daddy decided it was time for me to put away childish things and man up. So when daddy put me down for my night time siesta, he told me that I was a big boy and didn't need BABY anymore. It was tough I tell ya - TUFF. But after a little "sole" searching (kicking my crib) I survived and finally fell asleep. I knew I could do it. Well, take care guys. It's mommy's time to put me down tonight. Maybe I can sucker her into giving me BABY. hehehe.

Future Major Leaguer???

And he only just turned two years old. The second one was a bad pitch by mommy :)

I'm Two

Hey everyone,

Since the last time we spoke so much has happened. I met my Goddie Kendy, and I went to the Bahamas with my daddy and then came back and turned two years old. This past weekend we went to Tulsa to spend time with Gabriella and Nichy and Morgan. She's two too. "Two too" (hahaha that's sounds funny). Being two is so much fun. Someone said that it was terrible, but I don't think it's terrible at all. It's great. In Nassau I swam in the ocean two times. The water was sooo pretty. I also had an early birthday party with all my cousins. That was a lot of fun. I got a nice tan while I was down there, but boy was it hot. In Tulsa, we went to the zoo and got to see lots of animals. My favorite was the monkey even though I was scared of it. They're too fast. Well back to the grind tomorrow. I have to go to work in the morning. Now that I'm two, I have responsibilities at daycare, like picking up the toys and practicing my numbers and ABC's. Still working on this potty training thing too. It has it's pros and cons. Hope you guys are doing great. Enjoy the pics.

Long Time - No See

Hey everyone,

Sorry I've been away for so long. Things have been crazy. Time has been flying by. This growing up thing is nuts. There is so much to learn. Since the last time we spoke, I've learned that my name is Sammie. I've also learned my colors, and I've learned how to con mommy and daddy into giving me what I want, but I still have yet to master the great white throne. Sometimes I make it and sometimes I don't. Oh well, I guess that's why God created diapers. Well now that daddy is getting ready to go on summer vacation, he said he'll help me keep the blog updated. I tried to do it by myself but I don't know how to spell yet so that created somewhat of a problem. Well, come back when you have a chance. We have lots to talk about. Later.

More of the White Stuff

So we got more snow on Friday. It was great. Everything was white. Me and mommy made snow angels and daddy and I tried to make a snowman, but daddy said the snow wasn't wet enough. It seemed really wet to me. Oh well. That snow stuff is really yummy. Mommy let me eat it but she said to be careful not to eat any yellow snow. Don't know what that means either but I made sure not to do it. I think we are going to try to make vanilla snow ice cream today and make another attempt at the snow man. Anyway, I'm headed outdoors. Talk to you later. Hey daddy, WAIT FOR ME!!!!!

Christmas Recap

Hey everyone,

I just finished recuperating from the holidays and thought I'd share. I had a great time. I got to spend time with my Grammie and Grandaddy from Nassau. They flew up here with my Auntie Laurie and my Uncle Dorrie and Aunt Janice drove from Cincinnati with my cousins Alex and Dyson.

We had soo much fun. We played lots of games and other than me and Dyson fighting over Buzz Lightyear and Elmo everything was great. I ate so much good food. I can't wait to go back to the Bahamas.

We all got lots of presents and played the Wii. I love that thing. It's addicting.

Grammie also celebrated her birthday on Christmas Eve. She was soo happy she started to cry.

It even snowed for Christmas day. What more can you ask for. Family, food, toys, and snow. I hope every Christmas is this much fun.
