Vacation.....a time for relaxation and revelations! LOL...I hope not!

Well, we made it back from our yearly family vacation. We had a great time this year!! Will finally overcame is fear of the sand....and the ocean....and the water....and the pool...and well everything!!! He had a blast!!! He was non-stop the entire time we were there! He went from not wanting his feet to touch the sand a few years ago to being buried up to his neck in it this year!! Gina found a dead crab on the beach and Will was the only one who would hold it...he thought it was pretty cool. You can go to the link for my myspace page below and look at more pictures from our trip if you want.

One funny story....on the way down to Florida, Jax had to ride with us. So Will and Jax were fighting (of course) over a baby doll of all things....well, I decide to step in and I say, "well, guess what, it is a baby doll and dolls are for girls and do you know what that means?" Dwayne chimes in and says, "you are both little girls!!" Thinking this would outrage them into letting it go....Jax started laughing. My child, the smarty pants, never to let an argument go says...."I'm not a girl...I'm a woman!" LOL!!!

He is so stunning!!!

Will thought it would be funny if he pranced around in my new sunglasses last night! Well, thought he was big stuff! LOL....I have more pics posted on my myspace page if you want to go look.... www.myspace.com/erkymuse Then click on photos! Hope you enjoy!!!

Our Ball Player

Well, Tee ball season is over....thank God! LOL...it is really cute for a couple of games, but it just wears you out after awhile. I will post some pics this evening. Will, being Will, always finds a way to entertain himself. He digs in the dirt, draws in the chalk on the first base line, and pays absolutely no attention to the game going on around him!!! He enjoyed being out there though so I am glad we did it. He got a trophy for his endeavors and had to call all his grandparents and tell them about it...and had to tell everyone standing around the fence about it too! His big story is that he "hit a home run so they gave me a trophy"...he even told an ex-coworker of mine (whose grandson plays on Will's team) that "that they didn't even give them a trophy the other year" she looked at me and said "they didn't?" I said "this is the first year he's played!" LOL...he has such an imagination! I have no idea what he was talking about! We are getting ready to go on vacation so I am sure I will have much more to post on here about that! It has been a while since Will has seen the beach....that should be interesting! LOL

The Robot......

Ok.....everyone who knows my son knows that he is not shy at all and says whatever he thinks! Well...we ran into a situation at the ball field last night that was......well, typical for Will. A coach on the other team had a prosthetic leg. It was a titanium type leg. Well, I was hoping that Will would not notice because I never know what he is going to say and I am always afraid that he is going to be rude. We almost made it through the entire game and then I hear my child's extremely southern accent...."Heeyyyy.....why you got a robot leg for?" I wanted to die!!!!! The coach was really nice about it. He laughed and explained it to Will but Will just kept on. The game is continuing around him and Will is BENDING OVER LOOKING UP THIS MAN'S SHORTS!!!! I heard him say..."how does that robot leg work?" I started screaming at him to play ball and finally got him turned around......I explained in the car how it was rude to just walk up to someone and ask them about something like that and he said...."well, he told me it was a robot leg". That made me feel a little better but this was just another prime example of how challenging and amusing it can be raising God's Will!!!!

Today's a Great Day for a Date!

Today I had the pleasure of spending some quality time with Will...just me and him. We ran our normal Saturday morning errands plus we had to get my tire fixed but we had some laughs. I bought him some new clothes and a new lunch box and then we went to sit down for lunch together. Will had been in rare form all morning and put on a show at the restaurant....no big surprise there! While we were eating our lunch Will looked across the table at me and said, "today is a great day for a date!" So we continued on our date. He decided that he needed to call my mom, aka Mimi and tell her about our date. She said that he had a pretty date and he said, "yeah, but I am the prettiest"!.....thanks a lot son!!! Then he told the waitress..."thanks for the date food." I never know what is going to come out of his mouth. It always scares me when someone asks him a question.

Dwayne (the hubby/daddy) is on a fishing trip until Wednesday so me and Will are going to have a lot of time together...I am sure there will be many more funny stories to post!

Be careful what you say around Will!!!

Will is currently the star of his 4 year old tee ball team...of course!! LOL. He is really enjoying it and wants to play all the time. After his practice last night we, along with my in-laws, went to eat at the local Longhorn. We love Longhorn and Will LOVES the bread. The first loaf of bread went pretty fast and Will said he wanted some more. Our waitress was TERRIBLE!!!! She brought us our drinks and then disappeared. So I told Will that I would ask for some more bread when I saw our waitress but that I thought she had disappeared. I didn't think anything else about it. Well, more than 5 minutes later, our waitress comes to check on us. I asked for more bread. Will, being Will, said "yeah, cause our waiter "distappeared"". (that is how he says disappear) I held it together until the waitress was gone and then I lost it! I laughed so hard. Will thought it was hysterical!

"I want to stink"

I have been pretty lazy lately and haven't posted anything so I thought I would take a few minutes this morning to write some things down before I forget them. Will's t-ball season starts this week. We thought he had practice on Wednesday (turns out my hubby got the days mixed up) and Will was very excited. He does have practice tonight. So I am sure I will have something funny to write about this weekend.

Wednesday was one of those days that is warm during the day and then really cool at night. Will and Dwayne both had on shorts and short sleeve shirts because we thought we were going to ball practice. Well, when we got home Dwayne decided he was going outside to work on something...Lord only knows what. Will, being the outdoorsman as he is, decided he would follow Dwayne outside. Take in mind it was about 45 degrees outside at the time...Dwayne told Will, "You aren't going outside without long pants and sleeves"...in the most stern voice possible. Will, using his most matter of fact voice said, "So then why are you going out with shorts and short sleeves?" I lost it!!!! Dwayne looked up at me and said..."God help me, he is just like you!" Such a smart baby, I mean big boy!!!

Last night Will and my nephew Jax had been playing the the bait tank...which was full of bait fish. So, when Will came in I told him he had to take a bath because he smelled bad. He said he didn't want to take a bath and that he liked to smell bad!! So this went on for about 5 minutes and then I got a bright idea that I knew would convince him to get in the tub. I said "If you can't listen to what I tell you, you can't listen to your coach and so you can't play ball". He spins around and looks at me like a freaking 13 year old (you know the look) and says, "mom, I want to play ball, and I want to stink, ok?" LOL...Dang! I finally convinced him that nobody wants to be around a stinky ballplayer and he got in the tub.

I have no idea what I am going to do when he gets to be a teenager. He kills me!
