Sharing my life with my blog friends. 
Tuesday everything was back to normal and I got to see my friends at school and check out progress on some construction work being done next door. The guys and I spend recess supervising and the construction workers seem not to mind. I also got to turn in my art homework. This week's project? An umbrella. 
Thurdsay was a big day for Grandma Maggy. She retired! Mom said that means that she never has to work again ... a lot like Grandma Kathy. Anyway I got out of school early and Mom, Dad and I headed to a retirement reception at the Des Moines VA. There were lots of people there and I got to give Grandma a big hug then enjoy some cake. 
Fast forward to Saturday. Uncle Chris flew in from California for a visit before he finishes classes and heads to China so Mom, Dad and I had everyone over for lunch. Not only was it a celebration of Chris's upcoming trip it was also Grandma Maggy's birthday! (I'm a little jealous as she got to have two cakes this week.)
The gang's all here! 
Happy birthdaytirement, Grandma! 
Hurry up, Mom! 
Weird, but after lunch and a piece of cake the size of my head I had some energy to burn off. Uncle Matt called via Skype and we got to talk to our favorite Texan. I'll be visiting the Austin crew in a few weeks.
Today was church. Grandma sang in choir and Uncle Chris joined us. I was proud of he and Dad ... they didn't cause any disruptions at all! Big boys! 
Home we go ... 
Grandma Maggy had Dad help her buy a car seat so she would always have one ready in her car. I think she and I are going to have fun this summer. Zoo trips? Yep! 
Bye Uncle Chris. I love you. Have a great trip to China. Be safe and learn lots. Tell Katie hello for me! 
Mom, I'm hunnngggggrrrrrryyyyyyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Wow. Nothing like a mommy lap to put a boy to sleep. I didn't even finish my apple sauce! 
The final thing on the agenda this weekend was drawing for the Miller family majors pool. Four tournaments. Five players each. Big money. Big pressure. Lots of trash talk. 
Seriously Dad, I think David Duval is due for a win. 
Much love to all.
Saturday was a slow day. I didn't even get out of my jammies! My nap just wasn't happening in my bed so I talked Mom into cuddling on the couch and I feel asleep pretty quickly! 
After my nap Chelsea from school came over as Mom and Dad had a wedding reception to go to. I'll admit, though I really like Chelsea I just wasn't in the mood. (I plan to apologize to her at school tomorrow.)
Today was a most lazy day. Again, a nap on the couch ... 
... followed by loading cookies onto the baking sheet ... 
... and quality time watching them in the oven. 
A quiet week capped off by a lot of couch time. Not bad, I guess.
Love to all ...

After school Grandma Maggy came over and game me a green cookie. Yum!
Friday after school Mom, Dad and I headed from Grandma Kathy and Papa's house. We got there late and I was really sleepy. Good thing I got a good night's rest as Saturday was busy!
... then we headed off to see what I really wanted to check out ...
... Papa's new tractor!
Isn't she a beaut?!
My seat is very comfortable and has great visibility.
Fast forward several hours and I spent time working with an old favorite of Uncle Eric's. Papa made this years and years ago ... some fresh paint and some TLC and it's good as new!
Next on our list of things was a visit to Mom's favorite restaurant in high school, Sub Arena. What a trip down memory lane. 
Clayton! With lunch behind us the group visited a great friend. Our visit was good ... we had a lot to catch up on.
On our way back we stopped and I got to spend a couple of minutes talking with my buddy Tim. He always makes me smile and it was nice to see him.
Need help on the four wheeler to get gluton? Me, me ... pick me to help!
Those are some good looking calves!
Papa told Mom and me all about the little babies. They were playing and having a lot of fun!
Next came a surprise. Unbeknownst to the Millers the annual Denmark school carnival was that very day! Three generations of Houstons went to the Denmark school and there are rumors that it won't be around much longer. Mom, Dad and I had to go check it out!
Mom and Dad are trying to get me to not pick my nose so they weren't too sure about this game. (I won a prize from this nose so I guess I have to keep digging to find one in mine.)
Frog thump? One ticket. One winner. (Yep, again ... I've got skill!)
Next came lunch then a visit to Sherry's home. She was hosting a birthday party for Mom's cousin Justin and I got to play, meet Justin's daughter and son and have lots of fun.
Talon and I sat on the steps for awhile afterwards just talking about what we had seen. (As little boys we agreed that this was about the coolest thing ever!)
After that excitement there was time for one last trip to see Papa's tractors before heading back to Des Moines. I didn't want it to feel left out so I spent some time on Grandma's AC G. It's a cute tractor!
I felt kind of bad though ... it was my turn to watch him and I just turned my head for a minute and Dad ended up climbing into Papa's new tractor. Bad Dad ... Bad Dad!
That's it for now ... have a great week, everyone!
