please....

This is me so far.

A Holiday Tradition....

It's time for everyone to start preparing for our holiday tradition....arm wrestling!! Now, i know everyone is still upset from last years competition; when I (Emily) embarrassed all my older sisters and won the tournament, but i can't help it--i'm like the hulk...soooo if anyone wants to try and give me a little competition this year i suggest you start pumping some iron soon!! (p.s. Rod is excluded from this years competition; he is on too many drugs to be coherent enough for such an activity)

- if anyone wants to look at my itinerary for Europe and be jealous than follow this link!

Franken-arms

Brooke, these are for the benefit of Devon and Cameron. If they don't throw up, they might really like seeing these pictures of Uncle Rod's Franken-arms!!!

Weekend at Party Pier

Emily is down from Idaho since she has all next week off, so we're just hanging out for a few days. We went to Karen's for dinner tonight and had a lot of fun...we looked at some old family pictures and saw lots of interesting 80's outfits and fem-mullets (mom)

So here's the narrative to the pics. The first is in Pompeii, or sin city. That is Mt. Vesuvius in the background. The next in at the colliseum in Rome. Amazing. Then the next is a picture of Dad in Lucca. Then Florence, the Ponte Vecchio bridge, the only bridge in Florence Hitler didn't bomb in WWII. The last is in Venice, a beautiful city.

ITALY

YOUR MOTHER STILL THINKS SHE SPEAKS FLUENT ITALIAN BECAUSE SHE CAN COUNT TO TEN IN ITALIAN

Whittle Happenings

Here's some recent pics of what we've been up too....Alex has discovered that he LOVES looking at himself in the mirror. He cracks himself up! Audrey still spend most of the day with the cats. Here is our latest stray-apparently one of kids named him Freckles-and he was actually quite content to be pushed around in her stroller. Cameron came up with this Rocket Man costume one day. It's amazing how entertaining a paper bag and milk jug can be! And here's Troy and I at our "Night of Enchantment" enrichment night. So, have mom and dad adjusted to being back yet? How is Carrie holding up? Hope everyone is doing well. Love you!
