I Need Someone To Loan Me a Lie Detector!!!

I think I have been lied to by Mommy. I also think that she wrangled Daddy into going along with the lie!! Mommy says that Zoe missed her Mommy very much and had to go home to her. Mommy and Daddy have been sneaking around since yesterday whispering about stuff, so I am not sure if they are being exactly forthcoming about Zoe. Mommy did say that she is going to get me a new puppy that will not want to leave me like Zoe did. Mommy says Daddy and I can have a new puppy anytime we want. Something tells me that they are both lying to me but for a very good reason otherwise Mommy wouldn't be so willing to get me a new puppy anytime soon. Anybody know what happened??? I suspect a lot of people know. The truth will eventually come out.

Commentary from my Secretary: Zoe was the perfect puppy...well almost...seems she has an inoperable hole in her heart. Rather than complicate her situation with a boisterous 3 year old and complicate a boisterous 3 year old's perspective on how happy go lucky life is, Uncle Carl has decided that he and Zoe can be best pals and look after each other for as long as possible.

'Twas Two Days After Christmas!!!

Meet Zoe the Fiercest Dog In The World!!!

My Puppy--Zoe the Newest Vance!!!

Guess what??? Seems the Christmas spirit never ends. Yesterday I got to the toy store and pick out my own present from Aunt Lili, Uncle Frank, Jesse and Joey...I picked out a Polar Express Choo-Choo set. Despite Mommy's efforts to deter me from picking out yet another choo-choo set, I won because I told her that she had to let me get it because it was my money from Aunt Lili, Uncle Frank, Jesse and Joey and they would want me to have it. Thanks Aunt Lili, Uncle Frank, Jesse and Joey!!!!

Guess what else??? Daddy and me got a new puppy!!! Her name is Zoe and she is almost four months old. I just love my new puppy. Daddy and I had to promise to take care of and be nice to her. It is my job to give her treats when she is good. Daddy and Mommy have to do all the rest. In case you are wondering why she looks big---she's a Great Dane puppy. Daddy and me wanted a boxer puppy but Mommy said no. We settled on a Great Dane because they are super nice doggies to their families (people and kitty versions). We need nice around here!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Santa Strikes Again!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!! I had a WONDERFUL Christmas!! I am happy to report that I was mostly a good boy in Church last night. Good thing Mommy has my games on her I-Phone!!! I only had a couple minor incidents; however, I didn't tell the lady behind us to stop singing even though I wanted to! I put my magic reindeer food outside last night to make sure that Santa and his reindeer could find my house again. After all, Ryan couldn't possibly be expected to help Santa out twice in one week.

I got all kinds of cool stuff for Christmas!!! As promised, Santa brought me some Thomas the Tank Engine Crocs (Santa always brings me new Crocs), a new tooth brush, candy, tracks and choo-choos!!! He brought me Thomas at Action Canyon and some new trains!!!! I was so excited! I also got more choo-choos from Mommy and Daddy, a giant remote controlled dinosaur (we call him Puff the Magic Dragon though), some puzzles, coloring books, Thomas jammys, and some clothes. I got Rheneas and the Roller Coaster train set from Grandma Dale, spending money from Granny Bev and Grandpa Len, and more spending money from Grandma Lily! Thanks Grandparents!!! Aunt Lili, Uncle Frank, Jesse and Joey hooked me up with Toys 'R Us bucks just in case Santa failed to bring me something. Dude, Aunt Patty, Austin, Ryan and Jessica got me some Thomas clothes---new hoodie---yay!!! I really made out with Aunt Terri, Uncle Tom, Jake and Brooke---they got me a Thomas the Train Washer (I have this thing for car washers), a Thomas bridge, Peter Sam the Train, and a remote control car. Uncle Carl and Aunt Kay got me my very own digital camera/camcorder and Lincoln Logs. (Mommy says they are going to be in big trouble if I use my camera inappropriately--I wasn't sure what she meant but I think they did!!). I got books from Uncle Jerry and Auntie Norma. Ms. Rita was nice enough to think of me and got me a new truck. I must say this has been a great Christmas and I was very, very lucky in that I got all sorts of great presents! I am also happy to report that Mommy didn't have to follow through on her threat----I opened all my presents, mostly by myself!!! I wonder if Mommy really would have let them all sit there under the tree until I opened them myself???

Santa was really good to Sebastian and Rufus too! They got all kinds of toys in their stockings. Mommy suspects that they got into their stockings in the middle of the night because their toys were all over the place this morning. The least they could have done was come wake me up to let me know Santa had already been there!!! Daddy must have been a very bad boy this year because Santa didn't leave him the puppy he wanted. Poor Daddy, better luck next year!!!

My other big news is that I finally got to sit at the Big Kids table with everyone else!!! I got to hang out and eat my Christmas dinner with Austin, Ryan and Jessica. Usually I get banished to the baby table but not this time!!!! I had fun yelling at all of them for trying to take my puzzle!!

Well that was my Christmas. I hope yours was as wonderful as mine!!

Santa Came To See Me!!!

There He Is!!! Santa Is In MY HOUSE!!!

Thanks For My Present Santa!!!

Ryan, Santa and Me!!! I'm So Happy!!!

Guess who came to my house??? Santa Claus!!! He came all the way to my house so he could give me the first gift of Christmas!! I got a shiny new bell like the one in Polar Express and two new Choo-Choos!!! Santa said he was very proud of me for using the potty like a big boy! How did he know??? Mommy was right because Santa did see that I was doing everything that I am suppose to be doing! I better make a mental note of that!!

Anyway, I was shocked about Santa being at my house and I acted very shy. I was just so happy and amazed that he went through all the trouble to find me. Santa is pretty smart though because he couldn't find my house because it was raining (he is use to snow and fog), so he found Ryan and she helped him get to me. Thank goodness for Ryan the Whitenosed Reindeer because she was able to guide Santa's sleigh through the rain!

Santa says that he is coming to my house again tomorrow night when I am sleeping. I gave him my list so he knew what kind of toys I might like. Santa mentioned that he is pretty sure that I have been good enough to warrant more tracks and choo-choos! Oh boy, I can't wait. I will keep you all posted on what happens after Santa comes back when I am sleeping tomorrow night!

I Ought To Be In Pictures!!!

It's My Party!!!

My Very Own Thomas the Tank Engine Birthday Cake!!!

My Radio Control Super Bug!!!

Happiness Is Feeling the Wind!!!

I had the bestest 3rd Birthday Party EVER!!! I had my very own Thomas the Tank Engine 3rd birthday party! Grandma, Granny Bev, Uncle F.O., Aunt Lili, Joey, Dude, Aunt Patty, Ryan, Jessica, Sommer, Aunt Kay and Uncle Carl all came to my party and brought me presents. Grandpa was AWOL again because he was still sick. (I sent him some birthday cake so he could feel better)

Dude even picked out a new Thomas the Tank Engine Magic Coal Mine set just for me!!! He sure can shop when he puts his mind to it!! I got all kinds of GREAT presents! Thanks everyone!! I didn't get to play with my Super Bug (from Uncle F.O., Aunt Lili, Jesse and Joey) until the next day because the batteries had to charge. Joey taught me how to drive it and I just LOVE trashing the house by crashing into everything. Mommy has banished my driving in the house because she says I drive like Daddy. I don't think there is anything wrong with the way Daddy and I drive. Why is it I can ride my bicycle through the house but not drive my car???? Surely I could have loads of fun chasing Sebastian and Rufus with the car!!!

Anyway, I had a wonderful 3rd birthday and I am already looking forward to turning 4!! Thanks again everyone!! Next stop----Santa Claus!!!!!
