Yawn... So Sleepy

After a big day of playing and cooking and basically running all day, all I want to do is sleep. Sorry!

Luther Version 2.0, LIVE!!!

Daddy has set up his webcam so that anyone can log onto it and see me! If you use yahoo messenger, add Daddy as your friend, his username is briancpolley and request to view the webcam. it should allow everyone to see it, live. it gives a nice view of the living room and my play area. If you have trouble, leave me a comment and I will have my people get back to you!

O christmas Tree!

Today we got to put up our Christmas tree! We even dug out this old Santa Claus to stand up on the entertainment center. Daddy said that it is fiber optic, and that's all good and well, except that I have no idea what it means. What I do know is this, his beard and the stuff in his hands light up and change colors. I also have repeatedly told Mommy and Daddy that I do not want to see Santa Claus, and that he cannot come to our house. Daddy thinks I am scared of him.

Our House...

Hey Everyone! Daddy and I got on Google Earth today, (what an amazing program, by the way!) and found our house. If you look close, you can see the playground right out back. There isn't a whole lot going on here. We got our phone turned on today, and Daddy has to go get his Italian driver's license Friday, so I am sure buisness will pick up then. Daddy will probably try to drag me all over to take some pictures or some other craziness. I keep telling him to pace himself, but he doesn't listen to anybody.

Jet Lag!

NO YOU CANT MAKE ME GO TO SLEEP! IT IS NOT NINE O'CLOCK IT IS ONLY THREE IN THE AFTERNOON! I DONT CARE WHAT THAT CLOCK SAYS! I KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!

A Room With a View... A room full of toys!

HEllo everyone, and welcome to the first International version of The Alexis Update. I am only posting two photographs tonight, because our house is still not completely unpacked, so Daddy said I couldn't show the house. My room got done in a hurry though! It was the first room that Mommy and Daddy unpacked and put together! Our new house is really nice. It has marble floors (or some substance that feels and looks like marble) so I have to wear slipper gripper socks all the time, and I haven't slept more than 4 or 5 hours at a time since we got here. (Jet lag really, REALLY messed me up BAD!!!!!!) Our living room is really big, and my bedroom is too. We have a little fenced in yard, and a carport. The picture of me is looking out my bedroom window. When I climb on the bed and look out, I see the backyard, and the playground. It is right outside the fence. I think it has the best view of any room in the house. Mommy and Daddy Don't agree. Apparently there is some volcano you can see from the guest room or something. It just looks like a mountain to me, but early this morning you could see the lava and the hot molten magma rolling down the sides.

November 8...paging Dr. Lexy.

Expert medical care, available from a very cute doctor withe tiny Levi's and a very cute hair bonnet. Blue paper booties are optional!

November 7

Election day, and just hanging out in Missouri. Dad & I went to the Arch today but sorry, no pics handy right now, so I'll just post a cute shot Daddy took of me playing in the leaves at Mamaw's a couple of weeks ago.


Anyway, when Aunt Tricia got home we drove in a convoy to Nana's house to see her & Aunt Panda. I was VERY whiny in the car the whole way and drove Daddy nuts. Hee hee hee.

November 6..spa day!

Today I hung out with Dad while Lisa & Tricia had to work, then we did a little shopping and played and had bath time. AND, after Aunt Tricia painted my nails, I painted hers. Anyone want to book an appointment with me? I got mad skills, pedicures only $20!

November 5, more zoo.

Back at Lisa & Tricia's house, so we had a lazy day and slept and then went to the zoo for a while and out to visit Lisa's mom, Becky. At the zoo, I fed the lorakeets (and won the staredown with this guy, too!)

Then we posed on the statue of Phil the Gorilla, shortly before we went in and saw the real male gorilla, who was being very mischevious and throwing his plastic barrel at the windows, then rushing and banging on the glass to scare the onlookers. Funny, but a little scary, to be honest, because he's kinda big. Is this a great picture of me & my Daddy? I think so.




Finally, to top off the zoo fun, I got to FEED A GIRAFFE! Aunt Tricia was holding me and one of the giraffes was near the wall. I was holding a leaf Lisa had given me when the giraffe leaned (and leaned and leaned and leaned...LOOOOOOONG neck!) and at the last minute stuck his tongue out to take my leaf. We didn't know how long that tongue would be so we just moved at the last second, or else he might have given me a Snoopy kiss! Anyway, then we got more leaves and when we were better prepared, he came back over and ate the leaves right out of my hand. It was pretty cool!

By the way, like my outfit? It's all pink right down to my Timberland boots. When I got dressed, I told Aunt Tricia, "I'm a pink Princess girl."

November 4...back to the StL!

Today we headed back to Lisa & Tricia's house in the StL! We got to ride the very fun red train at the Detroit airport and best of all, my DADDY was waiting in the St Louis airport to pick us up. I missed him lots and was very happy to see him!

November 3

Happy (early) Birthday, Stacey! It was Carlos' birthday on our first full day here, so we decided to celebrate Stacey's birthday a few weeks early before we left. Aunt Lisa helped Eva & I make a cherry pie, as requested by the birthday girl. It was fun and deLISH!

November 2

Tonight we were playing and I got to wear one of Eva's dress-up costumes...I was a fairy princess with pretty pink wings. Do I rock, or what?

November 1.

Ok, I'm backtracking a bit to get you caught up as much as I can. On Halloween night, we went to Portsmouth to the Halloween parade. It was cool and I saw a drunken Santa Claus and a scary Donald Rumsfeld costume.

Then we capped off the evening with a bath and some nice milk. Did you know that when you blow into the straw, instead of sucking from it, all KINDS of cool things happen to your milk? I love bubbles.

Happy Halloween!

Today we went to the park (again! again! again!) and I swung higher than any kid has ever swung before. Ever.


And then we went shopping and I got some new pj's from the aunts. AWESOME!

Halloween..."T" minus one.

Hey, it was only Monday the 30th but Eva's town of Exeter has trick-or-treating a day early. (They really should have it a day late, shouldn't they, then everyone could get their candy for big discounts?!)



First we went to the park by the ocean...wow, an ocean AND a playground. How lucky can a girl get?

Anyway, I was a monkey and Eva was a bumblebee and we went trick-or-treating and got lots of good candy!

Sunday...fun day!

Well, it's our first full day in New Hampshire and we had big time fun stuff to do. First, we had chocolate chip pancakes WITH sprinkles, shaped like Mickey Mouse. Then we bundled up and went to Planet Playground, a very awesome park. Then we went to an orchard and had cider donuts and picked apples. After that we came home and took a LONG nap, then had quesadillas for dinner, made a birthday cake for Carlos and carved a bunch of pumpkins. One of them says "Boo...Eva & Lexy." I'll post a picture of that tomorrow, when we trick or treat!

Eva and I made up a very fun game where we put our faces right above the toilet and yell NOOOOOOOOO! over and over again. Why?

Why not?

It all looks like a sorority party gone bad, to be honest.



Finally, we took a bath and had lots of bubbles. Stay tuned tomorrow for more updates and trick-or-treat photos! We might get to go to the park again and maybe even to the beach.

Saturday...the big trip!

Well, Saturday morning came too early after our late-night World Series partying. But, we got up, had a honey bun and Lisa's mom took us to the airport. We flew to Detroit (ha ha, in our World Series gear, ha ha) and there was some bad weather that delayed us. Daddy though we might have been delayed due to being Cards fans. Then on to Boston, where Eva's daddy Carlos picked us up and drove us to New Hampshire. I was so happy to see Eva and we're going to have lots of fun this week. Saturday night we had pizza and then watched a DVD...fun!

Friday, the best day!

What a day! I went to Aunt Panda's, and we picked her up, then Daddy drove us to Nana's house in Louisville where we picked Nana up and drove to Indiana to meet Aunt Tricia & Aunt Lisa so I could visit them and go with them to Eva's house in New Hampshire for a week. It was a rainy yucky night and the rain just seemed to follow us along the road.

Then, right as we got to St. Louis, Brandon Inge of the Detroit TIGGERS struck out for the final out of the World Series. Ladies & gentlemen, introducing YOUR 2006 World Champion St. Louis Cardinals. We saw the fireworks from our car and the whole city went wild! We pulled over and Aunt Lisa jumped out, grabbed the camera, grabbed me through the window and we RAN to the stadium.

Then Aunt Tricia parked illegally and ran to meet us there. She waited in a long line to spend lots of hard earned money on t-shirts and we partied for a while. Everyone was so happy, and a guy had set up a drum set and was drumming his heart out. We went in the stadium for a while and everyone was high-fiving me.

It was cold and when we met up with Aunt Tricia we went home. I fell asleep in the car and slept ALL night. They didn't even wake me up when they put my pj's on me. We weren't AT the game, but we had the next best thing. GO CARDINALS!

Hog Stink Pumpkin Farm and Petting Zoo

Today I went to the Hog Stink Petting Zoo and Pumpkin Farm with Aunt Mandy and Uncle Dave. It was really neat. We got to pet all kinds of farm animals and stuff. We also got to pick our own pumpkins. I got small ones so I could carry then all by myself. It was cold, so when we left there we went to a pizza place and ate. It was a big day!

Luther gets a haircut!

I apologize for my updates, or lack thereof... but i have never before suffered the perils of dial-up internet, and I feel like I have taken a huge jump back in time. It's like living in 2001 or something!

I got a haircut today, because my hair was getting so tangled all the time, and i just refuse to keep it up.

In the next few weeks I should be seeing everyone, so I love you All!!! See ya soon!

Whew, I'm one busy kid.

Sorry no posts lately. I've been traveling all over America and hanging out with my Mommy before she had to head to Italy. We're moving there and Daddy & I are joining her there next month, so I'm staying with Daddy in Kentucky for a few more weeks.

I've been seeing my sisters, my grandparents, my aunts and uncles and my cousin Carson. Busy busy.

Tricia & Lisa came to hang out with me last weekend, while Daddy drove Mommy to Virginia. I was sick but we managed to have a little bit of fun and in a couple of weeks I'm going to New Hampshire with them for vacation to see Eva, trick-or-treat, go to the ocean and all kinds of cool stuff. Daddy's getting a little "Lex-vacation."

GO BUCKEYES!!!

Today was the opening game for almost all of the NCAA football teams, b ut more importantly, it was the opener for The Ohio State Buckeyes!!! They opened their season against Northern Illinois University, on Saturday, and routed them 35 to 12!!! (Their first four possesions resulted in touchdowns, and NIU didn't score a touchdown until the fourth quarter. In honor of the Buckeyes win, I have temporarily adjusted my color scheme in honor of the greatest football team in NCAA history!

GO BUCKEYES!!!

Love you, Mommy!!!

Go Cardinals!!!

What a huge day! It was my first game at the new Busch Stadium in St. Louis! My awesome Aunts Tricia and Lisa got me my own Fredbird at the Build-a-bird Workshop in the stadium, and soon after that, I got to meet the real Fredbird!!! I watched the game, Which the Cardinals won 13-6 over the Florida Marlins, and ate a big ear of roasted corn on the cob! I cheered alot, for Eckstein, the smallest guy on the team, and Poujoles, the STL's home run king! Then, during the third inning, a message came on the scoreboard that said, "Welcome to St. Louis Brian and Lex"! That was Awesome! So me and Daddy sent a message to mommy on the scoreboard that said, " I love you and miss you mommy, love lexy"! It was a great great day!

My aunts, The zoo, and a goat!

It started as an overnight trip to my Aunt Panda's house, but when Daddy heard the word "injustice", it became a crusade to stanp out the inequalities that plague the people of St. Louis, the state of Missouri, and all midwesterners that are unfairly deprived of my company. More specifically, my wonderful aunts Tricia and Lisa, whom i had slighted during my travels. For this I am sorry. So our journey has taken us from Tollesboro, to Lexington, and weare currently in St. Louis. Tomorrow we are going to Indianapolis to see Aunt Becca and Jason, and Friday we are trekking to Fostoria to spend Labor Day weekend with Mamaw and Papaw.

During my time in St. Louis, Aunt Lisa took me and Daddy to the zoo. We stayed there all day and walked around. I saw the brand new baby elephant, prairie dogs, fish, spiders, butterflys, and bears. You name it, and I saw it. But my favorite animals were the penguins and the goats. The penguins were really noisy and kept jumping into the water and splashing me! The goats were friendly. I got to pet them and brush them, and I even kissed a couple of them. One of them tried to eat my Daddy's shirt!

Tonight My aunts are taking me to the Cardinals game in the new stadium! I am very excited about it, and I am going to where my St. Louis Cardinals shirt!

The Great Poopy Incident of 2006

It was the best of times... It was the worst of times. And some may say, it was the poopiest of times! I just think it was funny! On Tuesday we arrived in Fostoria, to visit Mamaw and Papaw and Nana, but when we got here, Papaw thought it would be awesome to give me pneumonia, or at least a nasty cold! So, I've got the sniffles and a little sneezing, and a big bowl full of Bugles corn snacks, and I am standing in the living room watching TV, while Daddy is in the potty. I'm minding my own buisness, taking a poo in my diaper, when Mamaw and Papaw both start yelling, because it is coming out, in liquid form, all over their brand new floor! MAmaw rushed me to the bathroom, interupting daddy, and they proceeded to attempt a tag team cleanup, but the best was yet to come.

Daddy was gagging, I was laughing, and Mamaw threw up her lunch in the bathroom floor, and then i got in the bathtub. Daddy got me all cleaned up, and took me in the other room to dress me. When he was drying my bottom, he saw what he thought was a little spot of poo he had missed. But it was in fact the skin of a dill pickle slice, and it was about 3 inches long. (you dont want to know where the rest of it was!)

So, today I decided to use the potty. I am too nice!!!

What's new?

Well, lots! First off, my mommy had to have some surgery and she is still in Rhode Island, recuperating, so GET WELL, MOMMY! I love you!

Second, I'm in Kentucky now with Daddy, and Mommy will join us here soon for our leave before we move to Sicily. Daddy and I drove down here in the Escort with Jarrod in the front seat, me and the dog and two cats in the back seat, a bike strapped to the trunk, and a trailer with motorcycle towing behind. What a sight we were!

Then, this past weekend, Papaw's work had an outing to Kings Island, so we went with Papaw, Mamaw, Daddy, my sissies and Aunt Jera. Then that crazy Tricia & Lisa drove in and surprised me, so they tagged along too. Here's a picture of me meeting DORA!

Dentist!

I went to the dentisit for the first time today! It was part of my overseas screening, to see if I am fit for duty or not! I told them I was and that I could play all day without any assistance, but they insisted that I get checked out. I was really good and I have 14 teeth now. LT. Yang was really fun and even gave me a new toothbrush when I was done!
