Green Mouth

 

Palmer and I were at the Hanover Rodeo a couple weeks ago.  We each had a green Popsicle type of treat.  It was very yummy, and we LOVED ending up with green teeth and tongues.  Full disclosure: Mom was testing her phone to try to remember which button to push to post to this here blog.

Until we meet again,

Gastrointestinal Review

Welcome to my Minnesota State Fair 2009 Gastrointestinal Review! The tradition continues with the Johnston's and the Willegalle's, including the new little shooter at his first fair - Griffin. Grab your bottle of Tums and hang on:

We started out this year with Martina's favorite, shocker, fried cheese on a stick! So yummy and creamy. It really tastes like a grilled cheese sandwich. We then headed over to Juanita's Fajitas for a breakfast burrito. Daddy said it was just "OK" but I loved it. (See photo above). We washed it all down with a little German Root beer (think Barq's without the bite) and headed straight on over to the Mini Donuts! This is where Griffin really got to shine!

Next was the only new thing we tried this year, yes, we're growing a bit lame in our old age: Pickle Dog. Its pastrami and cream cheese wrapped around a pickle spear. It was good, but how about if it was SALAMI?! Mom got her favorite soft pretzel dipped in mustard next, and it was off to every body's favorite Turkey To Go. Brian couldn't keep his mouth off that one!

After a brief intermission of Palmer and I saying we wanted to go on rides, and then actually really not going on rides, well I didn't anyway, we headed back over to the food. Mom tried the Shaved Hawaiian Ice, pretty good, but really sweet. The day was then rounded out with fried pickles, a quite large pickle on a stick, and the always yummy caramel apple. We really had another great day at the fair this year! Thanks again to the Mitsch's for the best parking spot in town!

Burp,
HAJ

We Were FINE!

Tune in next week for a gastrointestinal recap of the Minnesota State Fair!

Pman - Another Year Older

I'm spend all of my free time organizing all of the vacation photos that I got from Grandma and auntie Chris yesterday. Thank you, thank you. In the mean time, I have to tell you about Palmer's birthday. We were out of town for his actual party, so Mom and I decided to take him out to lunch on his big day instead. We took him to the Machine Shed. Remember that awesome place where all they have is John Deere tractor stuff?

It was such a great time! There were presents! And - you probably won't believe this, but my mac n cheese and Palmer's hot dog were served in tractor trailers! AND - we drank water out of JARS. Who has ever heard of such a thing? Hope you had a great birthday Pman...I sure enjoyed it.

A piece of the action,

Update On Everything

There's a lot going on around here, and I need to bring everybody up to speed:

1. Potty Training...is going awesome. I'm at about a 90% success rate. I told Mom yesterday that I am done potty training. And, I've also graduated to standing when I pee. Less mess.
2. Poison Oak...is getting better. As of today I am off all of my drugs, including the devil inducing ones. I only have to apply an antibiotic ointment (I love that word) twice a day.
3. Check out Brookie's blog today and see me and Palmer big strong men who hug.

Honest as the day is long,

Sunshine State

Here's the 411 - my folks are packin' up and headin' to warmer waters. They're off to Florida today to celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary, and to catch a couple of Twins preseason games over the weekend. What about me you ask? Well, I'm staying here. Its fine, I didn't want to go anyway. Not that I was asked, but I woulda said no if they asked. Anyway, Ill be kickin' it with Pman for the weekend! I'm excited, and I'm bringing my horsies and my cars. We're going to try to work something out so the blogging can continue over the weekend, so be sure to check back.

Winning is contagious,

Chuck E. Cheese Old Pro

I have so much to talk about today! I had a GREAT weekend, jam packed with fun and frolic! I don't know where to begin, so I'm going to begin at the beginning. Friday I got to go to lunch with Pman at Chuck E. Cheese. This was my first time. We had a ton of fun drinking lemonade and going on rides. My favorite ride was the school bus. If I wasn't in the school bus, I wasn't happy. There was the Bob the Builder ride, Barney tractor ride, and Fetch the Vet ride, but nothing compares to the school bus. Palmer, being the daredevil that he is, rode this clock ride, where it takes you in a big circle, but that kind of stuff is not for me. I don't do my own stunts.

The inner man,

I Heart Palmer

I love Palmer. He's my best pal. We always have so much fun when we're together. He likes to sit by me on the couch. And I don't mind it one bit. I just snuggle right on in, and try to enjoy his company. Because if there's anything I'm good it, its sharing.

Honest as the day is long,

The Most Exciting Day Of the Week

Learning To Share

Palmer came over to my house this morning while his mama had to go to a meeting. We ate cookies, read books, and played with my fire truck. We get along swimmingly, just as long as he doesn't touch ANY of my toys. Even the ones I'm not playing with. They're mine. I know...I'll work on it.

To have half a mind,
