I WANT TO CRAWL!!!

This crawling business is hard work! I've been at it for awhile now, and I've only moved a few feet. Can't get my arms and legs to work together. But you watch out, Mama, any day now I'll be cruising!

Lake Norden

Daddy's hometown is pretty cool! Here we are in front of Salo Hall, home of the South Dakota Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame. My Granddad Ray, whom I never got to meet, started it a long time ago, and it draws visitors from all over the country. Across the street is his business, J&R Feeds. My Uncle Rusty runs it now, that's him with me and daddy in his feed office. One of the women who works for him said I was "oh for cute"!

Ooh, this place has a waterpark!

Yes, I DO get to all the pools, don't I?! This picture is from the Watertown Waterpark (yes, that's the name!) where I went swimming with my cousins. The beautiful Emily is on the left--aren't I lucky to have all these pretty girls to take care of me?

My South Dakota "Grandparents"

So many places to go this month! Now I'm in South Dakota, hanging out with my dad's relatives. I don't have any grandparents out here (but there are Aunties, an Unc, and a bunch of cool cousins!). I've decided to adopt these people, Carlos and Anita, my Aunt Sherry's parents. They have 20 grandkids already, so I figure they know what they are doing. They invited me out to their farm in Hazel for lunch. To return the favor, I left them with a poopy diaper. Carlos says he'll put it in his corn to keep the coons away!

Hope he'll take me ice fishing next winter....

Working on my record deal....

Heading home today, but thought I'd touch base with my buddies Kenny, Jewel, Brad, and Martina before I go to discuss my plans for an album. I plan to cover some old favorites, like "Itsy Bitsy Spider", and some of my own new material, like "Aaaaaaa-yeeeeeee-ahhhhhhhhh--bbbbbbbbubb".

Hangin' with Chance at the Barn

Boy the dogs are HUGE here! Actually, that's a horse, the first one I've ever seen. His name is Chance, and Pop swears I'll get to ride him when I'm bigger!

It's Just Crazy Around Here.....

Wow, there's alot to do here at the Ranch! Went swimming with my crazy cousins (all beautiful girls, lucky me!) on Thursday. They are a silly bunch, as you can see. I'm teething this week, and that diving ring sure did feel good on my sore gums!

Pop took me to see some goats at Miss Sue's farm yesterday. (The goats are NOT relatives.) They are very soft, but tried to eat my fingers. I didn't like that one bit! Pretty cool, especially since the only animals I see at home are dogs, cats, and Congressmen.....

Ridin' at the Ranch

I'm back in Mt. Juliet this week hanging out with the grandparents at the Ranch. Pop made me a terrific new hat with a buffalo on it! Spending my time playing on his saddle and checking out all the new toys they have here. Hoping to ride a real horse later this week!
