Sandbox!!!

Mama's friend Ree ordered us a sandbox and had it sent to the house! When the UPS man came, I was so excited to see the sandbox. We put it on the deck and it is great!!

Thanks Ree!

NEWSFLASH: Crocs banned at Banks' residence

UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED: Crocs shoes... the Ford Pinto of footwear?

Dad has placed a ban on Crocs shoes which went in to effect about 3 weeks ago (he didn't tell me until yesterday when I got these sweet new Keen shoes)

Since the ban on Crocs, injuries are down about 88% and the use of band-aids is down as well. Crocs are comfy shoes but Beau and I tend to trip and fall down the driveway often in these spongy death-trap shoes.

It's probably just fine as well... Crocs look a little goofy on adults, especially the bright colored ones, and especially on men. I know we all have some Crocs in our closets but let's end this mistake now. We saw a 50 year old dude wearing purple Crocs at the grocery store the other day and I think everyone in the store was a little embarrassed for him.... it was awkward.

Here are my new Keen's !

The Pale Knight

Hey y'all... got this Batman mask the other day and I have been wearing it non-stop!

In other news, we had a HUGE day yesterday... went to Tiny Town, which is a town that as the name might suggest has tiny little buildings and a tiny train to ride. Tiny Town sounded good but it turned out to be LAME! then we went to the rec center and went swimming last night!! that was super fun. Beau has no fear of the water and wouldn't let Mom and Dad hold him, he would just walk until it got too deep and then he had to be rescued. He dunked himself 4 or 5 times and never cried once. I as a little more 'cautious' about that stuff when I was little. Bobo just doesn't care.

Have a good one!

Shaking hands, kissing babies. Can I count on your vote?

Derian is so nice... I had to smooch him! (everyone else was)

Lates,

Got any Irish in ya?

Beau LOVES beer! Last night when Chas and Melissa were over having dinner, Beau keep looking at Dad, then he would point at his beer and yell 'mine!!!'.

Dad hands Beau the beer and he downs the rest... too funny. There are lots of genetics at play there... I am more of a water guy for now.

'Throw 'em the heater!'

I have been really in to baseball... we have to play at least once a day. Mom bought me some plastic baseballs and Aunt Linda (Mom's Aunt, but we all call her 'Aunt'...confusing, I know) brought me a couple bats. Sometimes I get mad when I miss the ball but Dad says you miss more than you hit in baseball... what? these guys must suck at baseball! Why can't I get a hit EVERY time!?

Dad says I can play T-ball next spring because I will be 4 by then... he explained that they set the ball on a little tee and let you whack at it... LAME! I want to play REAL baseball, with a pitcher. Oh well... maybe I will make some new friends on the team.

Baby Derian... in the house!

Mom and Dad's friend's Chas (works with Dad) and Melissa had a baby boy on 7/31. Derian Joshua is a super cool little dude. I am really really interested and amazed by the new baby. Mom and Dad think its funny that I am so curious about him.

Chas and Melissa came over for dinner last night and Derian was really good. He did cry a little one time and I decided to take off my Transformer T-shirt because I was certain that it was scaring him. That seemed to calm him down.

Here is a pic of little Derian with Mama and I at the hospital... you can also read (and see better pictures) about him on Chas' blog (link to the left)



See ya,

Brady
