hey friends!! well, we got our yellow jackets taken care of! daddy discovered on sunday that we have another nest, he got stung again mowing the lawn in the afternoon! So we had to get rid of them before they performed an attack on us (daddy, me, or my kitties!). Too many stories of people/animals being seriously attacked these days. Hope that NEVER happens to us or anyone we know!
This is daddy's LAST WEEK!!! HOORAY!! i miss him sooo much. His graduation is on friday & guess what!? HE was voted to do the speech!!! He's so cool! I hope i'm just like him when i grow up!
as for my sleeping, well, i'm doing pretty darn good! i only wake up about two times a night now, the last couple nights have been a little more, but my teeth are REALLY hurting. i wake up with a big holler! mommy stuck her finger in my mouth yesterday (i know, brave lady right?) and felt several more molars charging thru my gums! (yowsers!) soon they'll all be in, & no more sore gums :)
ps, grandma & grandpa barge, have you heard about southwest canceling their flights from us to you? think they'll go through the winter, but stopping that route next spring? bummer! we'll have to take advantage of it while it still lasts! of course, mommy isn't sure she wants to fly much with me anymore...something about her sanity ;)
better get going, have some puddles to go stomp in today! love you lots!
happy anniversary to cousin jesse & katie! they've been married one whole year now! i miss them so much! wish we were closer!!

our $109 picture :)

if you look carefully, you can see the bees buzzing all around mister matt, the bee guy! he only got stung one time, the yellow jacket went up his pant leg! OUCH!

Happy birthday cousin annabelle!! hope you have a wonderful day today :)

so a little update for you on our awesome rash...turns out after a bit of online inquiring..looks like we have a little case of roseola...thanks to my big cuz jack, who i totally miss, my mommy looked up roseola and low & behold...everything matched my symptoms!! if you don't know what it is..just know it is another childhood "illness" to freak out our mommies...interesting note though auntie steph, didn't jack get it after a weekend at the beach? the research says you accquire it two days before the fever...and WE were at the beach then!!...
while mommy was writing this, i turned on the car alarm from the bedroom & also turned off the computer mid sentence!! got into the cds, had two half cookies ("healthy" cookies!) & got to the keyboard too..so i'm taking her back!! have a good day! xoxo

well, i take it back..this stupid rash is not gone..it's bright red.. :(

well things are getting better all the time. we had a couple rough days recently while i had a bit of a fever...mom would get a max temp of 101.9. it lasted about three days. i think it must be gone now..hopefully! nothing else seem to show signs of sickness or anything, she thought it could've been the outside heat i was reacting to, but the air conditioner was keeping the house (too cool for mom!!) nice & cool. after a few doses of infant tylenol over the weekened, i displayed a rash yesterday!!..totally freaked out mommy!! she was worried it wasn't just a heat rash ..you know how our media is..."a rash? better seek immediate attention..could be meningitis! or polio" anyways, it is mostly gone now & i'm okay afterall. although i'm taller. i grew an inch yesterday. guess i needed the heat to grow?!
we're missing daddy. two more weeks & he'll be home for good. will be fun to have him around again! we have lots of catching up to do! i need to show him my cars. i love my cars & trucks! i've even been sleeping with them!
so i'm still not talking! when does this all take place?..i keep teasing my mom that i might just start speaking in sentences one day & knock her off her socks. (won't take much, she's not all that stable for the most part!) she was trying to get me to say "thunder" the other day! we had a really cool couple of hours worth of some morning thunderstorms yesterday! we're getting a good dose of precipitation here, yesterday, today & tomorrow maybe too! SO nice to have, since we were getting pretty thirsty for some rain around here!
better get going. i'm napping & mommy needs to get some soup started! i love you all & miss you too. have good days okay?

i'm working on my kodak smile ;) have a few kinks to work out yet!
