Weirdy Wednesday!!!

I've missed several WW's so here we go!

This is Emmy's face the ENTIRE time that we are at Chuck-E-Cheese's- wow...

I LOVE this hair.

Look at how I found the cheese... Emmy is a little weirdy who LOVES cheese.

Happy Birthday Jason= Outback is mana from heaven~

Everyone sang and Jason felt like an american king!

My mom gave Jason an Outback awesome blossom- yes she did!

Fishing with his baby girl.

One of the first things that Jason and Emmy did was go fishing!

Emmy caught her first fish- whoot whoot!

precious!

She really couldn't have been happier :)

He's HOME!!!!

Jason flew in at midnight- because Outback was no longer open- I had picked up take out beforehand- let's just say I have never seen my husband so happy- the camera didn't capture the tears- but I think there were some- besides a rare steak, bleu cheese chopped salad and walkabout soup- he also had thinly sliced pepperjack cheese and deli turkey waiting for him in the car- what a life! :)

I loved the reunion of these two- look at J's face in the first pic and then Em's face in the second- it's scary... but Emmy was sooooooo excited to see her Daddy and all day long (which was a long day considering that he flew in at midnight) Emmy would see an airplane and then scream "hi Daddy hi!!!!" so cute!

Happy Birthday Grammy!

A free digital scrapbook by Smilebox

CUTEST kid in the world!

Grammy sent us 100000 of the most adorable outfits in the WORLD-but- they are all still a little big- this one is the closest to fitting- and it is soooo cute! :)

I just love it and the hair! It's Ems FIRST pony tail- I know!

She always knocks on the garage door and yells knock knock!

what is up with this color- boo!

Dancing- something that she is doing ALL of the time lately :)

A package!! A package!!!!

Trying on a pair of the cuttest shoes EVER!

Emmy was sooo excited for her package :)

She doesn't look so pleased- and her face is dirty but it was a GREAT time!

LOVE it!

SUGARBEAN is a GIRL!!!!

THINK PINK!!!

Isn't she CUTE?!

I already can't stand how darling she is :)

Talking to J in the waiting room.

We all wore what we though it was- Ems was both-

Here we are right before we knew!!! :) yes- that is Jason on the computer- skype is a miracle!

On Wisconsin! On Wisconsin!

I just LOVE Wisconsin- everyone needs to visit there- if only to read signs like this at the airport-

see churches like this EVERYWHERE-

for signs like this...

for the accents and fun sidewalk prints like this (and YES they really do use these words in this way)

for decadent home- made pies like this...(rhubarb)

(cherry) thanks Uncle John!

for homes that look like this-

and farms that look like this-

and this-

and for quirkyness that comes out in many forms- but my California husband isn't even going to know what to do with the back of THIS car- I love it- Wisconsin really is a slice of Americana in its very best form :)

CULVER'S one of the best things about Wisconsin...

OK- so, WI can do food like no other place I've seen- yes the south has their BBQ- but EVERYTHING in Wi tastes better and is a heart attack waiting to happen- one of the "state treasures" is Culver's- my mouth waters typing the name- they have butter burgers and frozen custard- not yogurt- CUSTARD- and the daily flavors are to DIE for- we went on chocolate eclair day and they threw in a chocolate eclair and mushed it up- for real?!

They have the world's greatest rootbeer- I don't even love root beer and this is something I HAVE to have.

Here are the kiddos waiting for their team scoopie meals- yep!

Here's what Ems did when hers came ;)

And here are a few examples of the delishisness that can be had- ah! I know- who has butterburgers- then double it and add bacon?! This really wouldn't fly anywhere else- but the people of WI LOVE them- and I think if the visitors were brave enough to try them they would be converted.

the Old Wisconsin Sausage Factory...

Our old house is like 5 minutes away from this gold mine-

I remember this bull from when I was LITTLE (like we moved when I was 5) and I am so happy that he is still there! Very little changes in the areas of WI that we visit.

CRAZY yes- all of the left over sausage that didn't get shipped out gets sold here for dicount prices- sooooo happy!

Such a great place :)

Uncle Dave!!!

Emmy was SO happy to be reunited in love and glory with her Uncle Dave- she was a little nervous at first- but then remembered that she LOVED him!

Looking at the Canadian geese-and loving every minute together.

And how could she not have the best time ever with this guy?! We love him and can't wait to see him again :)
