smile please



in case you didn't notice, we're ALL Packer fans where i come from. this is Tommy and Tyler - i got to play with them when we were back visiting Wisconsin. i was actually cranky and wanted to cry in this picture but everyone kept calling my name and making funny faces. it's hard not to stop crying and at least try to smile for that. i wonder if they know how silly they all look?

the next Ansel Adams



this is my friend Tyler. he was taking pictures of himself and everything else in the house - he's so good i think maybe he's going to be a photographer when he grows up. he even took a picture of a picture of people i don't know. anyway, we visited him in Milwaukee so we could be closer to the Packers when they played. just kidding.

Packer Family


we celebrated the 10 month anniversary of my birth day with Grandma and Grandpa in Wisconsin. and as you can see, it was Packer Sunday when we took this picture. i was finally feeling better after having projectile puked on Grandma's couch (right about where Daddy is sitting). Grandma and Grandpa took really good care of my crabby ass while Mama and Daddy had fun at Auntie Jeanie's wedding. now i have a new Uncle Curt. and he has a Harley - can't wait to go for a ride!

what more could you want?



two handsome dudes in a hot tub having a good time. need i say more? or i guess, need Mama say more? she's the one that publishes these posts you know. but the ideas come from me. i'm the inspiration!

water baby



who needs a swimming pool when you have a HOT TUB!!! Daddy bought me this floatie when he first found out Mama was pregnant. and he was SO upset when he found out he couldn't take me into the hot tub as an infant. but NOW i can hang out with him anytime! and i can splash ALL I WANT and not get in trouble for drenching the bathroom. the bubbles are fun and Daddy keeps the temperature just like bath water. everyone should have one of these!

trouble, trouble



i am being VERY naughty in this picture. I'm eating pieces off of Mama's spider plant, i'm smudging up the door window, and i'm screaming every time Mama tells me "no". who made up that word anyway? why can't everything be "yes"? what kind of negative world have i been born into? I've decided that i will be a positive person and not take "no" for an answer. at least not from Mama and Daddy for the next 18 years :-)

yoga


while Mama harvests the garden i like to practice my yoga and get a bit of a snack in at the same time. but i don't understand why i have to be wearing socks - my toes just don't taste the same with them on! i'm wearing my badger shirt in this picture - did you know that they're 5-0 after beating Minnesota today? GO BADGERS!!!

bath time


Sadie is SO good at making sure that there's no extra food ANYWHERE on me after i have dinner (or on the floor by my chair). i think she likes peas and carrots the best. after she gave me this bath Mama had to give me ANOTHER bath in the tub because she said i smelled "like dog". i don't understand why that's a bad thing. if they don't like the smell of dog then why do we have three big ones?

Opa's little hippie boy


Daddy said that Mama can't cut my hair anytime soon. that surprised Mama a bit because she said she thought she'd be the one trying to keep the scissors out of Daddy's hands. i'm not sure what they were planning to do with the scissors but i'm glad they both agree not to get them out for awhile.

Auntie Jeanie



Mama said Auntie Jeanie was REALLY hung in this photo but i don't see anything hanging down. and Daddy said it was all because of Knob Creek. but i don't remember us going to any creek. so i'm not sure how Auntie Jeanie ended up not feeling so well but at least she was smiling as i dropped cheerios on her lap!

the Horse Lady


inside my head i call Auntie Julie "the Horse Lady". she knows EVERYTHING about horses and teaches me a little more every time i see her. her and Uncle Justin brought Shy, Dom, and Gator to the land for a camping weekend. the dogs like to eat the horse poo and i like to lick the fence railing while Auntie Julie babbles.

Auntie Duck Duck



Auntie Duck Duck comes camping with us a lot. she kept me all snuggly warm just before bed time. then her, Fer, Auntie Julie and Mama woke me up with all their giggling behind the camper where i was sleeping. I'm not sure what was so funny, but Daddy didn't think it was funny at all. No more group trips to the girls' bathroom!

i LOVE camping!


there's so much stuff on the ground that fits nicely in my mouth. and so many different smells, and sights, and sounds. and fire! Daddy calls Mama a 'pyro'. that must be a good thing because she makes nice big, warm fires for all of us to gather around. Mama and Nana made the fire pit behind me. Daddy says you can send signals to space from it. i hope the space people see it and come join us for s'mores!

Harley


This is my buddy Harley. he came camping with us along with eight other dogs and three horses. i think there were more animals than people! so i felt right at home.

the Hat Game



Papa likes to play a game with me. he throws his dirty, grimey baseball hat onto my head. and in anticipation, i smile and giggle. then i pull the hat off, hand it over, and we do it all over again, giggling all the while. Papa and Nana think it's really funny. i guess it's more like a game that i play for them. whatever i can do to keep them from crying, you know? by the way, did you check out the cleavage in this pic? pretty hot grandma, don't you think?

hard work



sometimes hanging out in a swing anchored to a door frame is very tiring. i decided to take an afternoon snooze while swinging in mine. i woke up and found that i had drooled alllllll over myself.

Daddy?


Nessa, Zach and I were hanging out and playing the piano for Si. he looks good with lots of kids hanging on him don't you think? guess that means that Alex is going to need to start gettin' busy!

Anessa


This is my girlfriend, Anessa. she's an OLDER WOMAN. mama calls her a cougar but i'm confused - i thought that was a kind of wild cat. anyway, Nessa came over to show off in her pool. little does she know but i peed in it.
