2005 Journal
In a
like a LION and out like a LAMB is the way March is looking
this year!
Finally
doing some decorating around this place to make our house a
home...so you will be seeing lots of that kind of stuff.
Probably will slow down the amount of times we get to update
the site. But we will try and keep it up to date.

Mommy
& Daddy Go On A Date!
March
5, 2005 |
Boy, it's been a
long time since Mommy and Daddy have been able to go
out...alone! I don't know why they would want to go anywhere
without me, but that's okay. All I know is that I got to spend
the whole night with Amanda! I was so excited when I heard
about her coming that I kept asking Mommy all day about it.
Finally, after my nap...I laid upstairs and waited by my window
until I saw her coming!
Mommy & Daddy went to see a play, Miss Saigon, at the dinner
theater. They said it was really good and had a really nice
time. I was a good boy for Amanda and I hope she comes back to
see me soon. It had been way too long since I had seen her
last!

Geocaching
Adventure
March
6, 2005 |
The recent
snowfall and frigid temperatures, haven't kept us from going after a
newly place geocache. Finally, a new one, easy enough for me,
was placed nearby. The weather was rather mild today also...so
off we went. There was a lot of snow and obvious tracks in the
snow for us to follow, but we still had a nice time and hike.
I managed, with minimal complaint, to hike it all by myself with no
help! Daddy and Mommy "couldn't" find it, so I had
to...it was hidden in a rock under a big piece of bark. Being
a new cache, it had a lot of nice stuff in it....I got a NEW
matchbox car, already recognizing it as one I have, but who
cares....cars are cars! We traded some hand warmers for it,
replaced and hid it better than before and began the trek back
home. Geocaching is still a lot of fun for us...can't wait for
the weather to get a bit warmer. Daddy has an idea cooked up
for a new one that will blow everyone away!

Placing
MY First Geocache!
March
13, 2005 |
We decided to
take over a recently archived cache and place a new one...it turned
out to be the one that we had taken the photographer to when we did
that article for the paper. I haven't placed one yet, so we
decided now was as good a time as any. We went shopping at
Wal-Mart and I picked out all kinds of goodies to put in it.
We decided to name it "Little Boys and Their Toys".
(Here is the link). First, we had to hike back and retrieve
the old one we were replacing and gather up any "geo-junk"
that was laying around. We were able to rescue only a few
things from it that hadn't gotten ruined in the weather.
Mommy, Daddy and me hiked all around the Game Lands, until we found
the perfect spot. We made it kind of simple since it is a
"kid-friendly" cache. I was able to get around with
little help so, I am sure everyone else will have an easy time of it
too. My favorite part of the day was playing in and around the
creek. I got pretty wet and muddy but that's what taking extra
clothes and shoes are for! The weather was okay, just a bit
chilly...we are sure Spring is just around the corner!

Hershey's
Chocolate World
March
13, 2005 |
We were in
Hershey today...eating lunch...so I asked Daddy if we could go to
Chocolate World. "Sure, why not?" I was so
excited to go...it's only about our 20th time there and I love it
every time! My favorite part is the cow and the conching
machines...yummy! Plus, you get a Hershey Bar at the
end. What's better than that?

Happy
St. Patty's Day!
March
17, 2005 |
I woke up this
morning, just like I always do and went downstairs to get my
chocolate milk and....the living room and kitchen were a MESS!
Those silly, tricky leprechauns struck again! They had my toys
everywhere, all the couch cushions thrown all over, the chairs were
all upside down and toilet paper from the bathroom was all down the
hall! It took me a long time to clean it up but when I was
done, I found a little bowl of goodies for me...sticker, lollipops
and chewies! Yummy!

Sam's
Birthday Weekend!
March
18-20, 2005 |
Friday ~ we drove
all the way down to Sam's house tonight. We were making good
time on the highways but did hit some traffic that slowed us
down...but we still managed to arrive around 9 o'clock, which was
plenty of time to play! Sam and I were soo excited to see each
other and begin playing. The grown-ups did some visiting but I
honestly couldn't tell you what about...heehee. We played
trains, tractors, cars, and on the computer. It was time for
bed, so we "camped out" in Sam's room. Mommy and
Daddy weren't sure how I would do, but I did just fine.
Saturday ~ Today is Sam's big party but we spent the morning playing
and driving Sam's present, his Gator truck, around the
backyard! It was soo cool. We also played a lot of
"soldiers"...Sam has cool gun toys that make noise.
We ran around shooting everyone that was a bad soldier...that was
usually the grown-ups or Sam's sister, Sarah. Sam's party
started around 1 and a lot of his friends came. It was really
nice and they were all nice to me too. We played outside, ate
cake and ice cream and helped Sam open his presents. He got a
lot of nice stuff. Later that night, we all (The Hartley's
too) went out to this pizza place for dinner...we had a really nice
time. I ate my whole slice...even the pepperoni! After
dinner, since we were good...we went to Dairy Queen for ice
cream! Sam and I were so tired that we fell asleep in his mom
and dad's bed watching movies! I think the grown-ups stayed up
and played games.
Sunday ~ When we got up this morning, Sam's mommy had a hug
breakfast cooking for everyone, eggs, bacon, sausage gravy, and
biscuits. Everyone really enjoyed it. After the
Hartley's headed back home we all decided to go to one of the
museums in DC. We decided on the new Air & Space Museum,
since no one had been there yet. It was a huge place and was
really neat to see all the planes up close. There sure were a
lot of them and some were very unique and a lot had some major
history stories to go a long with them. My favorite was the
space shuttle and rockets. Daddy and me rode in one of the
simulators. Mommy said she was worried about me in there...but
I thought it was the best thing! I laughed and laughed...so
much that I had the people in there with us...laughing at me!
heehee. We went to the gift shop and got our magnet...and I
got some space shuttle chewies and some astronaut ice cream
food...it was yummy!
Our day had come to a quick end, as did our weekend. It was
time to say good-bye and head home. I didn't want to leave my
buddy. I hope he can come and visit us soon or we can plan
another trip down sooner than later!
THANKS TO THE LEMMONS FAMILY FOR SUCH A NICE WEEKEND!

Coloring
Easter Eggs
March
22, 2005 |
Tonight we
colored our eggs for Easter. I helped Mommy fix all the
dyes. We mixed vinegar and I put in the tablets of
color. I had fun splashing the eggs in the cups and fishing
them back out. We made a whole bunch, so I hope everyone is
hungry for boiled eggs...heehee! I made one for everyone in my
family! I can't wait for the Easter bunny to come...I hope he
brings me lots of candy!

Too
Much Gum?
March
23, 2005 |

Tonight I
learned a very valuable lesson...well...Mommy & Daddy hope that
I did. Let's see...Mommy was working on the computer and Daddy
was sleeping on the couch. I was bored and remembered that
Mommy had just bought some chewing gum at the store...she got some
yummy green apple and a minty kind. I managed to
"eat" all of it before getting caught...probably about 28
pieces! Mmmm! Let's say that Mommy wasn't very happy
when she came out and found all the wrappers all over the
table! Daddy was woken rather quickly too...heehee. I
was okay for a little bit, managed to get my bath and watch some TV
before going to bed. Every now and again complaining of a
belly ache. Funny, Mommy didn't seem to feel all that bad for
me. Well...I didn't make it much longer before all of that gum
came back up! I had to get another bath and change my PJ's
again...but I would have to say I felt much better....:)

Happy
Easter Weekend
March
25 - 28, 2005 |
The Easter
holiday came upon us fast! Mommy likes it better when Easter
is in April! Anyways, Grandparents Wiles and Proper came for
the whole weekend. Uncle JG came up on Saturday. Aunt
Susan & Uncle Allen joined us on Sunday. I was
so excited to have a house full of people to play trains and cars
with me! I would just wear out one relative after
another. I even suckered Pap-Pap into playing Playdoh with
me! Grammy got me some cool new trains, some new Percy's' and
a Chocolate Factory! Grandma Proper got me some cool Easter
stuff too...lots of eggs and most important...M&M's! Uncle
JG got me a cool, red Starsky & Hutch car...it has big back
tires. Uncle Allen & Aunt Susan brought me a big jug of
money and want me to pick out a playground for my backyard! I
would like one with 2 slides! That should be fun to watch them
build...and I hope that they let me help!
Easter morning I found my basket on the floor with all kinds of
goodies in it! A huge chocolate bunny, jelly beans and peanut
butter eggs! I also got a new Acceleracers HotWheels
car! It's awesome!
A few funny stories from the weekend were when I pointed out a
picture of Jesus and asked Uncle JG if he was a "good
guy"...he told me "yes"...so, I wanted to know
"if he's a good guy then why did they hang him on there
(pointing to the cross pic)?" I thought that was a pretty
good question. Then later when Mommy pointed to a picture of
Jesus and asked me who it was, I told her it was "David
Hasselhoff"! Everyone thought that was pretty
funny. Guess I have watched the SpongeBob movie one too many
times!
Well...Happy
Easter everyone! I hope you all enjoyed your holiday!
