August - Summer Fun!

Well, every August, everywhere, there's a fair! We went to a couple in the area, in the cow state that we live in, there was no shortage of cows! We kept busy in August and had alot of fun. The days are getting cooler...fall is on its way! Enjoy!

Sponge Rollers...hmmm

Well...mom tried the ole' sponge rollers...alot of hassle for the little curl she ended up with...cute none-the-less! I wanted them in my hair too...but realized its not all that its cracked up to be! Stephanie kept taking the curlers out...mommy was getting very frustrated!

Talky Blog

Here's a little update to see all are doing well and a brief explanation from Samantha as to what happened yesterday! Then of course anything else she could think of to talk about and keep watching herself on the screen! Always fun!

First Trip to Emergency Room!

Well...Stephanie made her first trip to the emergency room...and it was sort of my fault. We were our porch and I was in one of the tall chairs and Stephanie wanted up...so I was pulling her arm trying to help, and I guess I pulled too hard. She started screaming and mommy came running. We couldnt find what was wrong, but every time we touched her arm she screamed louder. Mommy was a little upset, but she handled herself okay. We put ice on it and Stephanie calmed down. She would not move her arm. She looked like she was on drugs....which I bet she wished she was! We got to the Dr. (mommy dropped me off at aunt Nini's work) and the Dr. knew just what was wrong. He told mommy to hold Stephanie and he twisted her arm and put her elbow back into joint. She screamed so loud! But after that it was all better. Mommy said if Stephanie needs help getting up that I should call her and not pull her arm so hard. I had fun at Nini's work though!

Pin curls....Maybe not!

Well, mom did it. She tried to curl Stephanie's hair! We didnt have small enough sponge curlers, so she used bobby pins! It looked cute...but as far as the curls go....well....lets just say we went to the store, on our way to church, to buy small sponge curlers! I'm so glad I have natural curls and dont have to go through that! Mom says we better hope and pray they last! Daddy says, "Straight is great" and to just leave it alone!! We'll see what happens next Sunday!

Olympics are here!

Go for the gold! Thats what mommy always says! I love watching the Olympics...especially the gymnastics and the diving in the water. Yesterday we were a part of the Milwaukee Kids Olympics at the Betty Brimm Museum! It was so much fun. We walked in the parade, Stephanie carried the torch, until we got to the stairs, then she couldnt do it anymore! then we played games....it was so much fun! Go USA!

Tribute to what would have been their 54th Wedding Anniversary

Thursday (August 7th) is the date of Papa and Grandma's Wedding Anniversary. It would have been 54 years that they were together. Here is a little video we made for Papa for his "would be" anniversary. There are many photos from the big 50th Anniversary party all my aunts and uncles gave Papa and Grandma. Papa loved the video when we showed it to him. I was glad to see Grandma again. I told Papa it would be okay and he didnt have to cry. He was happy to see Grandma too. We have to keep showing Stephanie pictures of Grandma so she can remember her too. The songs are by Papa and Grandma's favorite singer....Conway Twitty!

More July!

We "got around" in July! We went to the Betty Brimm Children's Museum with Aunt Laurene. They have so many interactive things for us to do...it was alot of fun! Then we went to Toys R Us and spent the money Uncle Roci gave us. It was very hard picking out our favorite toys. Mommy said she's not going back there for awhile! Then we went to the zoo with Daddy! I think my favorite was the elephant...no maybe the polar bear...no maybe the goats....I dont know! I love them all! Then we finished the very hot month with a trip to the beach with Papa. Mommy said she used to go to this beach all the time when she was a little girl. Its real close to Papa's house. She used to ride her bike there. It felt so good to be in the water! See you in August!
