What's going on Grandma?
Look at the kitty hiding in the bucket! How sweet! I wish we could have her. I thought I would send you her picture. Her name is Peek a Boo! She sticks out her tongue when she wants her milk- what would Mommy do if you stuck out your tongue when you want milk? If you try it let me know what she does! Lady does that sometimes when she wants a cookie. Mr Hoppy Toad catches his bugs with his tongue! This little kitty's tongue is so cute! She is winking at the camera- I don't think she is shy! I think she is funny and cute and I wish I had her!
All the animals are asleep and Grandpa is telling us to get a snack and get to bed early tonight- he is tired. Uncle Jesse and Uncle Jake are playing a game on the TV- a basketball game! They have been laughing and shouting for a long time now! I wonder who is winning? Sounds like Uncle Jake is - he is laughing the loudest!
Grandpa is cleaning the kitchen so Grandma can write to you- That's a good Grandpa!
I made some cookies today so that will be our snack. I wish you were here to help us eat them!
I hope Lady doesn't smell them! I will save one for her to have tomorrow. She will be so happy! Baby wants your chicken nuggets, she doesn't like cookies. Hunter acts like he doesn't care what he eats but I know he likes steak the best! Me too! :)
I better go help Grandpa :)
Love 4ever, Grandma xo

Sally the cow is smiling really big for you! She lives down by the barn that Whooey Who stays in for the winter. She likes the camera, you can tell! Big smile for my grandkids, Sally!
Good girl!
I can sing songs to her and all her friends and they just stand there and smile at me!
They like the song Jesus loves me- the best! I want to pet Sally but she thinks I better not! Why does she think I better not? Who told her I better not? I tell her that I think I better but she still thinks I better not! I better keep trying and maybe one day she will think I better pet her too!
The wind is blowing real hard today. The animals are all laying around until it stops blowing so hard!
Bossey is ducking his head to stay out of the wind but I see his spikey hair sticking up!
Whooey Who is down the road by Sally and he is taking a nap!
Hunter, Lady and Baby are snuggled up together on the back porch and they didn't see Joe Joe get a piece of dog food! Somebody saw him! Guess who!
Goldie thinks I haven't told you about his new trick- so I better tell you! He took a bath in a big bowl and he couldn't see out the sides because it wasn't a glass bowl- he got upset and Grandpa had to calm him down! He had never been in a place he could not see out of before and he did not like it! When he was upset about it- he learned some new moves! He can hop up and down! Now Goldie thinks he should be in the circus or somewhere to show off! Uncle Jake thinks he should just be his very own fish and stay here with us! Goldie wants to show off for you when you come!
Hector and Kevin are standing with their faces in the wind and their long ears are blowing backwards! So cute! They are smiling! Did I tell you that Sally the cow is their friend? She is! They go to her yard and see her every day! They smile at each other! I am smiling at you right now! Are you smiling at me too? I hope so!

Whooey Who has a barn friend! See the little skunk, she was trying to be real still but Hunter, Lady and Baby know all about skunks! They wanted to be sure that I was warned! Skunks spray a real stinky odor! Real, real stinky! Worse than anything you have ever smelled! We smell bad things so often on the farm that we almost think some smell actually smell good to us! But not skunk spray! No way!
Hector and Kevin will help the little skunk get back to her family. They will keep Hunter, Lady and Baby out of the barn yard until she can run. They don't want to hurt her they are just barking and she won't move until they leave! I think Whooey Who is friends with her. I think they both like to eat stuff that is in the barn! Bossey wants her to spike her hair but he can't get her to hear him because of all the barking!
Joe Joe might try to put a white stripe down his back too if he sees her! Wouldn't that be funny?
Mr Hoppy Toad's house is not to far from the barn so he might be wondering what all the barking is about! I'll tell him when it gets warmer and he comes out!
Time to feed Grandpa and your uncles! I know what to have this time! A pot of beans and lots of cornbread and a stinky onion! Do you like onions? I do!
We had a stinky story, didn't we? We haven't had a stinky story yet! That was fun unless I go back outside and the little skunk sprayed Hunter! She will if he doesn't listen to Hector and Kevin and stop barking! Wait! I don't hear the barking anymore! There she goes! Run little girl, run! She made it and Hector and Kevin did it! They kept Hunter, Lady and Baby busy for a while! That was a nice ending to an almost stinky story!
I better fix supper now!
Love 4ever, Grandma xo

Look at little Happy the goat! She is smiling and so sweet! Happy has lots of brothers and sisters! She wanted to smile for you! One day I will take you to see her and all her family! I think you have seen lots of goats at the petting zoo's- Did you like them? I sure do! I thought this was a great picture and wanted you to be happy when you looked at her!
Grandma has to be in a hurry right now because I have been real busy with your Uncles and all of the farm animals! Grandpa will be home soon for his supper and he will be hungry! I still don't know what to feed everyone! Lady thinks I should fix hamburgers, cookies and milk for supper, Hunter thinks I should fix steak, Baby thinks chicken nuggets, Joe Joe thinks dog food! Yuk! Bossy thinks a worm or seeds and Whooey Who thinks maybe I could find something in the barn to eat! Goldie thinks - goldfish crackers!
Hector and Kevin think I should fix something with hay in it! I don't think so guys! Can you just see Grandpa sitting down to a plate of hay? No way!! And we all know Mr Hoppy Toad thinks I should fix flies for supper! Sometimes in the summer I might accidentally eat a fly but not on purpose!
Wow! Grandma is getting real hungry now! I think I will fix what Lady said! Hamburgers! She will be hoping that Uncle Jake won't eat all of his! Maybe I will save her some of mine! Of course everyone will have to get their favorite snack later!
I better get busy! Hope you liked the picture of Happy the goat!

Isn't this doggie praying, with his boy, so cute?
I was looking for a picture to use in my story and I found this one! I love it! I was praying with Lady last fall and I saw her doing something just like this! I can't stop looking at the doggie- he is so sweet looking. Wonder what he is praying for? The little boy is probably praying for his mommy and daddy and his brother or sister and he is surly praying for his Grandma! :) But I wonder what the doggie is praying for? A big bone to chew on? What do you think? I want to go outside and pray with Hunter, Lady and Baby! Wait just a minute and I will go out and pray with them- I will be right back!
Ok! Grandma is back! That was so fun! I prayed with them and they were so happy about it! Hector and Kevin heard me pray and they wanted me to pray with them too! We all thanked God real good!
Lady wanted to lick my face while she prayed with me! Hunter was real still and Baby did a happy dance while she prayed! Have you ever done a happy dance while you pray?
Grandma does that a lot!
Hector and Kevin put their heads together while they prayed! So cute! I still like how the doggie in the picture prayed with his eyes closed and looking so thankful for all his blessings! Hey! I think that's what he was praying! He was thanking God for his boy!
Uncle Jesse and Uncle Jake worked real hard after school. Uncle Jesse cleaned the barn for Hector and Kevin- they were happy about that! Uncle Jake - well I am not sure what he did! Maybe he played ball and worked on his skateboard moves!
Grandpa is resting in his chair because he worked on the garden spot after he sold furniture today!
Grandma walked five miles today! I walked outside too! I saw Whooey Who on a pole down by the barn! I didn't see Bossy but I heard him! I think someone else will have spikey hair soon! He was really telling someone something and we know his favorite subject! Spikey hair!!
Mr Hoppy Toad will be out soon if it stays warm- he better wait a little longer! His new roof fell down again so Grandpa will have to make him a teepee house! I will send you a picture when he gets it done!
Goldie wants another bath! He needs one too!
Joe Joe came by today and took a bath and got some dog food! He is fast! Hunter didn't even see him do it and he was laying right beside the food!
Did Grandma forget anyone?
I will look at the doggie praying again and then I will go to bed! Hope you liked the picture too!!
Love 4ever, Grandma xo

Grandma found lots of lady buggies! All different colors like a box of crayons! Which color is your Lady Buggie? I like the blue one the best! They are all so pretty! I didn't know they came in blue and purple! Did you?
I better tell you about Hector and Kevin! They have been so happy for the warm day we had- running and acting so silly! Donkeys are so fun to watch! We see people drive real slow down our road just to stare at them. When they do Hector and Kevin put a show on for them! They put their mouths together and hew haw in each others mouth! We would say yuk if someone did that to us but they think it is fun!
Hunter, Lady and Baby are happy for the warm day too! They brought back a big old bone from somewhere and they are so proud of it! Hunter will carry it for a while and then Lady and then Baby tries to take a turn but the bone is too big for her!
So funny!
Whooey Who came back yesterday! He has gotten bigger! So handsome!
Bossey dropped something out of his nest! I wonder what it was! I didn't go see yet.
Joe Joe is still sneaking dog food when the dogs go to the front porch! He is getting fat!
Mr. Hoppy Toad hasn't tried to come out again- he is waiting on real spring!
Goldie gets lots of bathes and does lots of tricks for us! Hide and seek is his favorite!
Uncle Jesse and Uncle Jake are still playing basketball and they are very good! You would like to see them! They would show off for you! They like to do that!
Grandpa is in his chair watching a ballgame on TV - we are going to get a snack and then go to bed!
Oh, no! Baby is checking to see if we have a chicken nugget for her! She likes to sneak up to the window by the back door and see if I will give her one! OK, Baby- but just one! Shhhhh don't wake anyone else up!
I better go give it to her and get my snack too!

What is this animal? Ask Mommy and Daddy! Is it a gopher? A ground hog?
He is soooooo cute! He needs a name! What should we call him?
Grandma was looking for a ladybug and found this little guy! I just had to send you his video!
Is he a chipmunk? I really am not sure!
Will you tell me a story about what you think he is doing! I think he is wanting someone to give him one of the balloons! What do you think? He can't talk so he might be trying to get your attention!
Look! Look! Get me a balloon!
Now you tell Grandma what you think he wants!
I will be excited to hear!
Love 4ever, Grandma xo

Did you not like Mr. Hoppy Toad? I thought mommy might not like his big picture but Grandma thought you would like him! He is soooooo nice and fun! Fat too!
Maybe you will like little Holla's cousin. Her name is Napkin! We named her Napkin because we like to rub our fingers on her and she is white like a napkin! That is a good name isn't it? She is so cute! Look how surprised she looks when the camera films her! She raises her little head every time I say Napkin!
Look at her tiny little pink feet, hands, ears and nose! All pink and white! See her little whiskers! See her little eyes! Mommy and Daddy can take you to a pet store and see one of Napkins cousins. That would be fun!
All of the farm animals are sleeping and Goldie is swimming around waiting for Uncle Jake to feed him again. Whooey Who and Bossy are asleep too!
Grandpa is ready for bed but Uncle Jesse and Uncle Jake want to stay up and eat a snack! Hurry up boys, Grandma and Grandpa want to go to bed! What are they going to eat? Cereal and Fruit Roll Ups! Yum!
I hope you like the movie of Napkin!
Love 4ever, Grandma xo Miss you!
