Well--for Justin's 3rd birthday, he got a John Deere, battery-operated tractor. He was so excited when we gave it to him on Friday night that he almost ran over both me and poppi. Barney caught it all on video tape, and when I get a chance I'll try to upload it to the blog.

In other news about the kids--Ada grace is trying really hard to both walk and talk, but hasn't had much success with either. She has said "bubba" and "dada" fairly frequently, but "mama" and "ada" are coming in a very distant 3rd and 4th. She's also feeling kind of puny the last couple of days--her preferred activities have been sleeping, crying and being held since Sunday.

Oh--and hopefully, Justin won't be sharing his new vocabulary words with you all on Saturday. He has started to sing along w/the radio, and since both Barney and I listen to country, that has included the Rodney Atkins song, "if you're going through hell". Well--Barney heard him sining along to that song today. My personal favorite is his rendition of "Before He Cheats" by Carrie underwood.

Hope to see you all on Saturday!!

When Lukas was that age, I loved Grethen Wilson's song "Redneck Woman." I would strategically turn the radio down as the words I didn't want him repeating came on. :) They eventually say them anyway. Two weekends ago, on the way to Coshocton, Lukas says from the back seat, "We're on our way to hillbilly hell!" Straight from the movie Cars. We totally lost it on that one (and then explained that he shouldn't say it again).

Love the Lukas story too....you never know what they will say and when!! That is the fun--especially when you are the Grammie and not in charge of the discipline!! And you should her him belt out Before he cheats--however, we have a Toddler Tunes Cd which Justin refers to as the "Good Music" and he knows ALL of those songs and this little light of mine is fast becoming a favorite. When we are in the car on the way home at night and have Mae and Justin, and the song When you're Happy is on..they both shout AMEN--too funny --the not funny part, Justin has decided to stomp his feet he must do it on the seat in front of him!! Oh well.
