What's a guy gotta do to get some attention around here!

As you know, I have a new sister now.  She seems to be taking all the attention away from me.  I like her an all, but we all know that I am the cutest kid in this family!

So... last night I thought I would take things into my own hands.  I have had a cold the last few days, and last night I started coughing lots.  So much that it was really hard for me to breath.  Mom and Dad called the hospital and they told me I had to bundle up and go stand outside with Daddy for a while.  (What kinda stupid idea is that?  I am sick, and they tell me to go out in the cold?  Come on!) It did help, but I was still coughing lots and wasn't breathing well so I had to go to the ER.

While I was there I had to breath into this really weird machine that had medicine in it.  After a couple of those treatments, I felt lots better!  They took a few pictures of my lung, listened to me breath, and sent me home with my very own machine with medicine!  Now when I get like that we don't need to go to the ER anymore.

As always, Dad was snapping pictures on his phone.  Here is one of me sitting in the ER.  Looks fun doesn't it?  Hopefully I will sleep better tonight!

"Christmas Sock"

here is another picture of my little sister Avery. Doesn't she look cute in her stocking? Last night she slept really good, at least that is what Mom tells me.She looks cute in her "Christmas sock" but I sure hope I get more than just a sister in MY sock on Christmas morning!I guess there isn't a whole lot more to update right now. I need to get back to being a big brother... Its a big job you know!

My little sister...

A few more pictures of Avery...

Christmas came early this year!

I like it when they call me big brother!

Hey everyone!  I am now a big brother!  That's right!  Avery Joy Folkestad was born on December 10th!  Technically I am still sleeping so don't tell mom and dad I am on the internet.  I overhead dad talking to Grandma .  He said my sister is 18 inches long and weighs 6.4 pounds.  I can tell already that I am going to need to protect her, she's a little one.

here is a picture of my little sister and mom.  I am proud, but I think mom is even more proud!

Curious Caden

It's been a busy fall around our house and lately I've been up to a little mischief of my own. Last week I jammed something in one of the empty phone jacks and put our phone lines out for a while. This week, I thought I'd check out the red lever by the water heater. Turns out it shuts the gas line off to the water heater and puts the pilot light out (my mom's a good plumber and fixed it). My mom blames me; I say there's a munchkin in our house.

Weekend at the farm

This weekend when dad was in Colorado springs, mom and I headed up north to the farm; and I got to see both Grandmas & Grandpas - I had lots and lots of fun. It was harvest time, so I got to see lots of tractors, trucks and the combine in action. I really liked to look at them and would walk up close, but I wasn't quite ready to take a ride in them - they were a bit too scary. (Grandpa called me a city slicker) Grandma and I went out to the field to pick some corn so I can feed and watch the squirrels out my window at home.


Uncle George and I made good supervisors as grandpa filled the grain bin.

Tuesday we got to go to my Aunt Dori & Uncle ken's organic dairy farm to see a real farm with real animals. I liked the baby calves a lot! We were even able to get some tasty cheese and play on the new fun playground at their farm! (Mom says thanks for the extra's in the bag aunt dori!)
