What's going on Grandma?
Look at this adorable picture of a Mouse family! Grandma loves to hear mouse stories! My Grandma told me stories about mice when I was a little girl! Mice have families like we do! A daddy and mommy and brothers and sisters! Even grandma's! They eat and sleep! They run and play! They get to do things in a small way! Like see how they made a blanket out of a leaf! One berry is a whole meal for them! They have tiny tummies! Look at the one mouse that has his arms crossed! He is upset and wants to have what his sister has! See the two little ones on the leaf blanket? They are hungry! Open wide! Eat up little one! So cute! Mommy mouse is feeding them from the tree! Does your mommy ever climb a tree and feed you? That's funny!
I hope you liked the mouse picture! They are the Shoeshoe Family! Mama Shoeshoe and Daddy Shoeshoe (he is at work) and four baby Shoeshoes! Sissy, Missy, Lester and Prissy!
They are a fun family! You have a fun family too!
All of the animals are sleeping right now! Uncle Jesse and Uncle Jake are working on something and Grandpa is at work! Grandma is thinking about you! :)
Love 4ever, Grandma xo

Cows! We love cows! I do want a cow- I agree! Look at the kitty and there is your rabbit!
And look at the birds! My favorite bird is a cardinal! They are so pretty and red!
I want these cows to be on our farm! The big cow's name is Betsy and the little one is Bill!
Little Billy is Betsy's baby! Kitty's name is Milly! What is your rabbits name?
Looks like they are getting ready for Christmas! They want to thank God for Jesus too!
Will you have snow in Braska? I think so! Real soon! That will be fun!
Look for cows for Grandma and Grandpa! Betsy and Billy have lots of family- so see if you can find some of their relatives on the way to Braska!
Hope you enjoy seeing Betsy and Billy- hope they come to Grandma's house! I like them! I like Milly the kitty too! And your bunny will probably find your house! Tell me his name! Is it a girl or a boy rabbit?
I am getting excited to see you all soon! We will have fun!
Love 4ever, Grandma xo

We rode horses today! Grandma and Grandpa rode nice horses today! Uncle Jesse and Uncle Jake rode horses today too! Aunt Audrey and Buddy rode horses! Aunt Amanda and Uncle Michael & cousin Trinity, they rode horses too! All of our church family rode horses! We had so much fun today! Now, we want to buy some horses! What about this horsey in the picture! Grandma wants him! His name it Clifton
that's a nice name isn't it? If we get Clifton, you can ride him when you come to see us! You will like that! I think we are going to be cowgirls and cowboys! Emma, you can wear your Jessie outfit to ride! That would be so fun!
Grandma better go give the animals some cookies! Not Mr. Hoppy Toad! He likes bugs only! Silly Mr. Hoppy Toad!
I love you so very much! Grandma is tired tonight! I will sleep so good!
Love you 4ever xo

Meet Goldie! He is so handsome- isn't he? Uncle Jake likes him! Goldie is very small right now but he can get much bigger and then we will need to get him a bigger fish bowl! Right now he is in Grandma's kitchen bowl! A big one! But Goldie wants a nice house of his own! We will get him one real soon! I think Goldie needs a sister or brother- What do you think?
See how Goldie doesn't have any hair! Mr. Hoppy Toad will meet Goldie real soon!
We will take Goldie for a walk outside when we get his nice fish bowl.
Grandma will have to write more story later because it is time for more school work! Uncle Jesse and Uncle Jake are very smart like you are! Guess it runs in the family! :) They like to learn and take tests!
Your Uncles really like tests! They like to show me how smart they are! Do you like Mommy and Daddy to test you? You should take a test on how good you do ABC's! And 123's! How about writing your name! I bet you get an A for that!
I love you soooooo much! Love 4ever, Grandma! Hope you like Goldie- he is real nice! xo

Here is Bossy's baby picture! He is fuzzy but not the winner! Who is the winner! You pick!
I guess Boosy always had his hair spiked up! No wonder he likes everyone to wear their hair like his! He has had spiky hair since he was a baby!
Whooey Who thinks he will win!
Hector and Kevin are thinking they are getting pretty fuzzy right now because donkeys get lots of hair for winter! Hunter and Lady do too! Mr. Hoppy Toad has to stay under the ground of get by the fire place! He won't get to grow hair- he doesn't want to grow hair! He likes how God made him!
We saw Joe Joe, the black bird, take a bath today! He is so handsome! Grandpa put the dog food on the back porch so Joe Joe couldn't dunk a piece in the water- he was a little upset at Grandpa! Grandpa will move the feeder back! We like our friends to be happy!
I will show you a picture of Goldie next time! He is real nice and does splashes in the water! You will like him! Uncle Jake says he is a fun fish!
Uncle Jesse and Uncle Jake are riding bikes down to see Silver! Silver is not fuzzy so sometimes his people put a coat on him! Really! They do! He likes to wear a nice coat! That is true! Lots of horses wear coats! Daddy will tell you that is correct! Grandma is quite telling the truth!
Well I better go see Silver too!
Hector and Kevin want a cookie and they are telling me to hurry! I think they should learn how to say please! Right now they just say hee haw for everything and think I should understand them! I do!
I really do!
I love you so much! Hope you like Bossy's baby picture! It is the only one I could find of Bossy as a baby!
Love 4ever, Grandma xo
What's going on Grandma?
Oh, no! Look how fuzzy Hunter and Lady are! Whooey Who is hooting about this! We forgot how fuzzy Hunter and Lady were! Aren't they so cute? Hunter thinks he is fuzzier than Lady! Hunter is the first one in the picture- the one with his tongue out! He is a little fuzzier, isn't he?
Now we have to get a baby picture of Bossy and see who is the winner! Mr. Hoppy Toad is so glad he wins the no hair contest! I will have to show him a picture of Uncle Jake's gold fish! Fish are hairless too! I better not tell him about Goldie, no one as met Goldie yet! Uncle Jake won him at the fair but the outside animals haven't met him yet! Shhh until after the contest! Mr. Hoppy Toad is wanting to win!
Hope you like the pictures of Hunter and Lady! They are sooo fuzzy!
Do you still think Whooey Who was the fuzziest baby? I still think Hector and Kevin were! Maybe Bossy will win!
We will see Bossy's baby picture soon!
Grandma better go fix Grandpa some supper, he will be real hungry!
Love you so much! 4ever, Grandma xo
What's going on Grandma?
Oh, baby Whooey Who! Isn't he so cute!
He wanted you to see how fuzzy he was when he was a baby ! What big eyes Whooey Who has! He grew up to be a handsome owl. I wish I could have seen him when he was a little baby. Maybe someday there will be baby owls on the farm. We could go to the zoo and see if they have a baby there.
Bossy thinks he was fuzzier than Whooey Who! I told Bossy to show us a picture and we will decide who was the fuzziest baby! Who do you think it will be? I think Hector and Kevin will win.
I need to find a picture of Lady and Hunter. We already saw a picture of Baby and she was not fuzzy!
Mr. Hoppy Toad is the winner of no hair! ha He wants you to see a baby picture of him anyway!
Have you ever seen a baby toad? I bet he was cute even without hair! You didn't have much hair when you were little either and you were so cute! You still are! I miss you!
Something happen today. Silver got out of his pen and ran down here to see us. We were sitting out back in the swing and Silver came running to Hector and Kevin! Grandpa saw him jump the fence and get in with Hector and Kevin. They thought that was fun! They wouldn't talk to Silver they just sniffed him and looked at him. Whooey Who was thinking Silver should not have run away and Bossy was telling him to go home before his people come and get him. Silver should have listened to Bossy because his people were a little unhappy about him coming to our house. I told Silver that we would come and see him soon. He is a happy horse and likes to run!
Hector and Kevin started talking to him after he got back to his own house. Guess they were telling him to come back someday when he can!
Baby was trying to act like a big dog but Silver just laughed at her bark! Baby always tries to act big- remember she thinks she is a people! She is a very funny dog!
I didn't see Mr. Hoppy Toad today and Joe Joe was not taking a bath today- I miss them when they go off and do other things. Oh, well they miss me too when I go off and do other things!
Grandma better go to bed now!
I love you so much! Love, 4ever Grandma! Who will be the fuzziest baby? What is your guess?
What's going on Grandma?
Look at Ducky! This is a little friend of Mr. Hoppy Toad. Ducky and her family live under the bridge by our house. Ducky wanted to swim today but when he got in the water he was too cold! This is a picture of Ducky ready to get out! His mommy helped him and he shook all dry and sat in the sun with Mr. Hoppy Toad. Toads and Ducks are getting ready for winter. The water will be all frozen one day soon and Ducky wanted to try to swim before that happened. I don't know where Ducky and his family will live during the winter but it will be a nice warm house- I'm sure!
Mr. Hoppy Toad is getting his house ready for winter and chopping a lot of wood for his fireplace! Grandpa is helping him! Mr. Hoppy Toad usually lives under his house in the dirt but he wants to try and stay in his house this year! Hope he gets to! If he gets too cold he said- he will see us in the spring!
Ducky thinks we might not recognize him next spring because ducks grow up faster than people do!
Grandma will see if he will wear a hat so I will know which one is him! Do you think he will wear a hat for Grandma? I will ask him and see what he thinks!
Hector and Kevin ate an apple today for Grandma! Most of the time they want a cookie instead. I told them to eat an apple first and later I would bring them a cookie. They at the apple and are looking at me in the window trying to get me to bring the cookie I promised them! God tells us to keep our promises so I better take them one! Grandma needs to remember not to promise things that I might not want to do later! This time I want to take them a cookie but when it is raining or snowing I might not want to!
I won't promise then!
Bossy is asleep right now and so is Whooey Who! They were up all night talking to Lady! Lady was not sleepy last night and she barked and barked and barked! That made Whooey Who want to hoot and Bossy want to chirp! I even heard Silver, down the road, telling one of them something! Maybe he was saying, "Be quiet please I'm trying to sleep down here!" Hunter and Baby just ignored them all and snored! Mr. Hoppy Toad threw some dirt over his head and went to sleep! Hector and Kevin do not want to talk about it! They just want the cookie!
OK! Grandma better go give all of the animals a cookie! Uncle Jesse and Uncle Jake said, "Don't give all of our cookies to the animals!"
I will buy some more!
If Hector and Kevin ask for milk too Grandma is going to laugh!
I am going out to the barn now! Love and miss you so much!
Love 4ever, Grandma xo *Look at the hat Jake gave Ducky!
Ducky : BY Jake

Happy Birthday sweet Emma! You are four! I am so happy for you! Grandma misses you so much!
I will see you soon! I am happy your Daddy is home with you! Have lots of fun honey!
Do you like the little kitty? I wanted to find a picture for you that moved! I hope you like it!
There should be 4 candles on the cupcake! Is Kitty trying to blow out the candle for you?
See how the fire on the candle moves when she goes forward! So cute!
Grandpa and Uncle Jesse and Uncle Jake say, "Happy Birthday too!" Whooey Who thinks you need a stuffed animal of an owl for your birthday but I told him maybe for Christmas! Hector and Kevin think you need stuffed donkey toys and Lady, Hunter and Baby think you need doggie toys! Mr. Hoppy Toad thinks you need a frog toy for a present! Bossy is just sure you want a bird toy!
Who is right? Maybe you want all of them!
I will send you the picture of the puppies singing and this time think about them singing Happy Birthday to you!
I am going to go for a walk now and see if I can see the puppies and Silver! Hunter and Baby will go with me! Then Grandpa is going to bring pizza home and we will watch the Waltons! Do you ever watch the Waltons? They come on INSP #259 @ noon and at 7:00 pm! Dish network!
I like to watch the Waltons! Ask Mommy about it :)
We will eat pizza and wish we could be at your party! Have fun my oldest grandchild!
Love 4ever, Grandma and the whole bunch of us on the farm! We love you so much! xo
Happy Birthday Emma 4!!

Look who Grandma saw on her walk! His name is Silver! He is so beautiful!
Hunter and Baby took me on a walk and they showed me this beautiful horse! He is our neighbor's horse! We can visit him anytime we want to! Silver likes Hunter and Baby! They are good friends! Today was the first time Grandma ever met him! He likes me! I have seen Silver lots of times but I have never gotten real close to him! Today I did! I like horses! Grandma likes all animals and birds! I like toads too!
Most of all I like my grandkids! I like to share stories with you about God and animals that He has made!
Silver was showing off for me! He thinks he can dance! I don't have any animals that like to dance so this was fun! Can you dance? Uncle Jake can dance! Uncle Jesse does not like to dance! He plays the drums - he plays real good! Grandpa danced a long time ago! Grandma dances when no one is looking!
I get so happy that I feel like I want to dance! So I do! Maybe that is why Silver likes to dance! He is happy!
Grandma better go to bed now! Remember to dance when you are happy! It is fun!!
I will take you to see Silver when you come to my house! We will see lots of animals when you come!
Love 4ever, Grandma xo

Look at Joe Joe! He is taking a bath! Maybe he wants Grandma to get him a towel! I think birds just shake all over until they are dry! Dogs do that too! Donkeys shake off too! Mr. Hoppy Toad does not shake off when he takes a bath. He just hops and hops until he is dry! So I guess we are the only ones that use a towel! Thank You God for towels! I wouldn't want to shake or hop until I was dry- would you? That would be so funny to see people do that! Grandma is laughing about that!
Joe Joe hopes you think he is handsome! He might show you how he eats dog food when you come!
Last year he did it every day! Hunter is thinking he is going to scare Joe Joe when he sneaks his food!
Joe Joe and Bossy have a plan so that Hunter never knows when Joe Joe sneaks Hunter's food! Lady doesn't really care because she likes cookies better than dog food any way! Baby likes to eat bugs the best! She really does eat big bugs! Gross!
Grandma went walking with Kevin and Hector and they wanted me to sing! When I would sing for them they would sing too! I told them that they don't even know the words but they didn't care they just made up stuff! So Grandma just made up stuff too! Hunter and Baby came with us to see if they could mess up our song but we just kept on singing! Bossy put his head under his wing because he thinks he is the only one that can sing good! Whooey Who just said Who Who Who because he doesn't know a lot of words! He sounded good with our singing! Mr Hoppy Toad came to see what all the singing was about and he did a little croak noise and then went back to his house! He looked pretty tired and he hadn't had his supper yet! Baby eats up the daytime bugs so he has to wait for her to go to bed before he can eat. Silly Baby!
Uncle Jesse played the drums today and Uncle Jake made up lots of fun things to play! He is still playing! Grandpa is watching a ball game with Uncle Jesse and Grandma is telling you a story!
I like to play story time with you! I hope you like it too!
Now you know what is going on at Grandma's house today!
I love you so much! Love 4ever, Grandma xo
