Dear local weathermen, don't you think this has gone on long enough? please raise our temperature & let the rain slow down so i can go outside to frollick amunst the critters. pretty please? thankyou, charlie.

well kids, want to tell you all we love you so very much.

( just found out about another house teetereing on distaster from those awesome tornados!! ruth & jeff's place was hit by the storm we were delayed by leaving minneapolis! (even tho mommy really enjoyed watching it out the window of the plane!) they are all okay, just a lot of mess & repairs! and cousin nathan's was hit last weekend too. :( again, nobody was hurt, thank goodness :0 )

anyways, i want to personally (as personal as this page gets right!?) thank each & every one of you for making our trip special. mommy (grandma too!) really looks forward to her wisconsin week each year. even though we're so far away, she says we hold you very close to our hearts! even those of you who we don't visit for very long with! being with all our family gives us really warm fuzzies! kinda like when she see's me kissing my kitty, Action. and a special thank you to uncle mikey for taking me on my very first ever four wheeling adventure!! (sorry uncle brian, know you offered!) And a thank you too to barb & vanessa & family for letting us stay at your home, we had so much fun! and thank you too to oma for letting grandma stay with her, i know they enjoyed that also :) oh yeah, & feeding us too ;)
ps, next year, mommy thinks she can convince grandma to babysit me for an evening so she can go party with her uncles ;) we'll see about that!!! of course she also thinks she can convince uncle luke to join us too!! anyways, thank you all for all your smiles & visiting with us and we can't wait to see you again next year. love you so very much.
so mommy is pretty delirious (i apologize for her babbling...) so she is off to bed, i kept her up all night again last night! she says it is a good thing i'm so darn handsome or it might not be okay! hugs & kisses all around :)
pps, can you believe we found some "charlie's chicken soup cheese" to bring home!!?? HA! it really does take like chicken soup!!

while we were gone our iris

blooms popped!! (maybe mom will get a better picture tomorrow!) these iris bulbs came from my great, great grandma's (mommy's nana) house in kansas!! how cool is that!? & they are most beautiful!! our roses all came out too while we were gone! our yard smells sooo pretty :)

laddieland!!

Greetings to you!!! just wanted to give you a quick lil update!! i am soooo excited to be here at laddieland! a couple pictures for you, the group picture-this is some of the people i mingled with today! what a lovely bunch! would you believe this is just a fraction of our family?!?!..guess i really am one in a million!! we're even missing some loved ones in our photo!! (UNCLE JOE>>where are YOU!@?!? he was hiding!! so was margie! terri's taking the picture, mikey & crew already left..and we cut off a couple on the left of the screen..oopsie!) today was really fun, we saw lots of family members. was such a short visit, but i'm so thankful they came to see me. i really enjoyed myself.
anyways i have been having a wonderful week so far! i even got my great uncle mikey to take me on a fourwheeler ride!! wahoooO!!! (mom didn't get the cutest pic of me laughing & smiling sooo big on my ride!!) (you'd think w/ as trigger happy as she is she'd get more great pics right?-she blames the camera!!)
yesterday, 19 quads (at least someone counted?) + 1 golfcart went riding on laddie land! mommy thought that was pretty darn neato. she even got to go for a little while while i helped grandma tie up a scrabble game with oma (my great grandma) my mom came back with the biggest smile on her face!! she told me she took some video & pictures & we'll bribe uncle luke with that to get him out here next year :) and by the way, the golf cart was fried! & they had to coast it back down!!!
i have been entertaining the crews with my giggles & yodels. the weather has been awesome, storms included but nothing too crazy where i'm staying, so if you're watching the news, don't worry about me!!! i've played with frogs & dogs, horses & turkeys (actually i didn't get too close to those turkeys! they might eat my finger off & i need them for chewing!!) i goats & a potbelly too!
mommy is a bit sleepy & babbly so she is going now...she'll tell you more later~~ loves & kisses
daddy, i miss you sooo much! can't wait to wrap my arms around you soon!! and tell you all about my trip :) and we're even talking about making a trip to blados (she doesn't know how to spell it..but daddy knows what i'm talking about !)xoxo

just in case you haven't said "awwww" today ;)

i seek out wheels!! i love to see how they spin!!
