Hi Wada Family,

Chad, I'm not sure if your Mom got her computer "issues" fixed yet or not! So, I'm not sure y'all can read this...but just in case...I wanted to say HI and let you know that we think about you all the time. You are a warrior in my book!

Many Hugs!

Hip hop, hippety hop
My “Easter Bunny” went off to the shop,
He bought me an egg and lots of chocs
And packed them into a cardboard box.
Then he wrapped it with paper and shiny string
It really was such a pretty thing.
Disaster struck when I opened the door-
He slid across the parquet floor,
He went round the corner and past the stairs
And finished up in a pile of chairs.
Of the Easter goodies not a trace,
he’d thrown them into my fireplace!
So a warning before you go opening doors
Make sure your “Bunny” has non-slip paws!





Happy Easter

With lots of love,

Everyone at Post Pals

Hi Chad,
A joke for you....
One day an Eskimo decided to go fishing. He found some good ice, made a hole in it and sat down with his rod. After just a few minutes he heard a loud voice....

"THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE"

Frightened, he looked around but couldn't see anyone. After a while he decided he imagined it and carried on fishing.

"THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE"

This time, he was sure he hadn't imagined the voice at first, and spent several minutes looking around for someone, but there was no one to be seen. So he sat back down, picked up his rod, and carried on fishing.

"FOR THE LAST TIME THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE"

By now he was getting really scared. He DEFINATELY hadn't imagined that voice, it was loud, it was clear, it was shouting at HIM. He looked up and timidly asked "i..i.i..i..is that G... G... G... God?"



"NO" said the voice "IT'S THE ICE RINK MANAGER

Love
Sue

Stacey, what is it I read here........the "dreaded" day for the big 16 year old??? Oh! don't worry, it is so FUN when your first child gets his drivers license....the waiting up and not sleeping, the fender benders and the music playing so loud they have to turn it down when you call their cell phone just so they can hear you!!! KIDDING (am I???) You'll BOTH be fine......a little greyer, but fine.

A PRAYER FOR CHRISTMAS


God Give Us eyes this Christmas
To see the Christmas Star.
And give us ears to hear the song
of angels from afar

And, with our eyes and ears attuned
for a message from above,
Let "Christmas Angels" speak to us
of hope and faith and love

Hope to light our pathway
When the way ahead is dark,
Hope to sing through stormy days,
with the sweetness of the lark

Faith to trust in things unseen
and know beyond all seeing
That it is in our Fathers love
We live and have our being

And love to break down barriers
of color, race and creed,
Love to see and understand
and help all those in need.

Lord, bless those we love this Christmas Day,be they near or far away Bless those good friends who mean so much and those with whom we're out of touch. We bring them all to You in prayer, and ask You to keep them in Your care.

Please know that you are thought of, in a very special way, not just this beautiful season but every day.

Congrats to your whole family on this "next" milestone. Christine has an appointment today and I'm keeping my fingers crossed as we near the 6 month OT mark. Best wishes as you head into the "winter," which probably isn't much of a real winter like we have here in Cleveland. Nonetheless, I'm glad that each day brings more and more optimism for the future.

Hi Wada Family,
Thank you for the post you sent Stacey. I didn't realize today was the anniversary of your worst day. I must say, you had me in tears. But I know that you have an everlasting smile on your face knowing how far Chad has come over the past 4 years. He is truly a special son, as is Bryce. You must be the proudest Mama in the world! Know that we always keep your family in our thoughts and prayers. I hope the boys are having fun in their new school year. Didn't you love the summer with no homework!
Love and Happiness always to you and your family Stacey!
Your life long friend, Anita

Hiya, just saying a hello, I have a few jokes for you today, this time about bears



Q: What do you get if you cross a skunk with a bear?
A: Winnie the Pooh!



Q: Why do bears have fur coats?
A: Because they'd look stupid in anoraks!



Lots of love and big…

Glad to hear that you are enjoying the summer. Sounds like Bryce has been having a blast in San Diego with his buddies! How is Chad doing with his drumming? Buy those ear plugs yet? Sorry I haven't signed in your guest book in a while....as you know Stacey, things have been crazy around here.

Dear Stacey, Chad, and family --- sounds like you are having a wonderful time on vacation! Vegas in July is miserable, though. I've only been to Las Vegas one time, and it was in July. Our car over-heated in line on the "Strip" trying to get to our hotel ... and that night, we greatly overestimated our ability to take a long walk outside. (Had a cab drop us at one end of the strip and tried to walk back to Excaliber hotel at the other) After about an hour, I literally laid down on the sidewalk and told my husband to go on without me. :)

I'm sure you guys are having much more fun than that, though! I'm so happy to hear how great Chad is doing!!!

Hi Wada Family,

Thanks for the update on your lives; can't believe the boys are growing up sooo fast...looking forward to those years too!! Glad to hear Chad is feeling good and that everything is FINE--knew it would be!!!

We are coming down the homestretch of pregnancy #2 Due in mid Aug. Another girl (don't think I have seen you in a long while so didn't know if you knew). Maddy turned one in May and is in full swing of toddler..wow.

Thanks again for keeping in touch. Love hearing from you. Take care and be well :)

Just checking in. Glad to hear there is no real news. That's always the best news of all. Christine turned 15 on June 17th and we are now getting info on driving classes. So hard to believe! She had a sleepover party with her buddies. I couldn't believe the things they were talking about (mostly guy related)! I also couldn't believe that they were going on about cute guys and dating as if I wasn't in the room. That's when you know you're getting old -- when they can see you but assume you're not perceptive enough to catch on to things.

Christine is still of the mindset that guys aren't worth much of her time. But given how little she talks about it, I'm always wondering how much she knows and isn't saying. Although she wasn't the author of some of the notes I found lying around, I would guess that their meaning doesn't need to be explained to her.

How quickly the years go by!

P.S. Sorry, no jokes for Chad. I'm sure a "guy" party has no resemblance to a girl party. But for some non-gender news, I did rush across town for squirrel medicine yesterday and have been busy taking cats to the vet. We've got eight with two visitors this summer.

Hi Chad,
You made it thru school!! Yahooooo! Now you can enjoy summer and the last year before you become a "teenager". Have a super cooooool summer and enjoy!!
PS when are you coming to visit us in tx so you can swim with Brianna and Sierra? They LOVE to swim--also Brie wants to play games with you like checkers, chess, chinese checkers, monopoly, jr.scrabble, and many more--Sierra always messes the games up and then Brianna gets mad. Maybe Brianna can teach you how to play "Pretty, pretty princess",Disney Princess game and all the other girl games! (hahaha)

Have you lost your mind Stacey!! Drums!!!! Yikes! I thought I heard some thundering the other night.....all the way here in California! Ha ha! Good for you Chad! You beat on those drums!!! Maybe he'll be the next Derek.....well....on second thought :-) Our next door neighbor is a very good drummer so I'm use to hearing the beating of drums everyday!
Glad to hear that all counts are great and fevers are gone. Sorry you had a scare Stacey... that must be very nerve racking!
Must go for now. Enjoy the count down from school ending...any fun summer plans? Besides playing the drums?

Hi....Happy Spring to all of the Wada Family!
So good to hear that your counts are still good Chad. I bet it's music to your ears Stacey to hear those wonderful numbers! Sounds like you had a fun time in New Mexico. We just hung around here Spring Break. Did the movies, Universal Studios and just let the girls play with their friends. It's hard to believe that there are only 40 more days left in the school year! It just seems like yesterday that Kailee started Kindergarten! Ashlee will be in Pre-K in September then both in the same school the year after.
One of these days, I'll have to make a trip to Nevada to see all of you. Do you have any plans for a trip to California?
Well, I just wanted to check in to say "HI". Glad that all is well and that you are enjoying this beautiful weather we are having!
Love to all,
Anita
PS- Hey Stacey....took Ashlee to her first concert...The Wiggles! They could be the next BCR's for the 3-4 year olds! You should have seen her screaming and dancing during the concert. Remind you of anything???

Dear Stacey and Chad -- I always giggle when I read about someone being "deported" because I didn't realize what was meant the first time I heard the phrase! I hope yours goes smoothly and quickly tomorrow, and couldn't be happier to hear that your "new normal" is so wonderful!!

Stacey, you are such a positive addition to our ALL-kids list, I hope you will stay around even though Chad has done so great OT!

Dear Chad and family,

Hi Stacey, Chad and family ~ Just stoppin' by for a visit! I was hoping to see some pictures from 2003!!! Oh well, I'm happy for the update! How nice that you could go for a little get-away. It sounds like you all had a lot of fun --even Chad despite his injury. Hope it doesn't hurt any more.

Ok --here are some animal jokes:

Why did the ram fall over the cliff:
*** Because he didn't see the ewe turn!!

What do you call a cow that can't give milk?
*** An udder failure!

Why is the farmer angry?
*** Because someone got his goat!

Why did the farmer yell?
*** Because someone stepped on his corn!

Well, I guess that's all for now.

If I learn nothing more from this experience with ALL, I have learned how much there is to appreciate in each moment. Take care and here's to many more fun family experiences!

Hi Chad! Fisher's mom pointed me towards Kendrie's site and the '100 list'. I'm so impressed with the things that you have accomplished while fighting ALL, and winning! I'd like to leave you a joke, but I can't remember any, so I will tell you something a little bit funny about me: I can't remember a joke that someone told me yesterday, but I can remember my phone number I had in Kindergarten (and that was 32 years ago)! I hope that everything continues to go well for you.

Hi Wada Family,
I just wanted to pop in to say "HI" and to let you know that I've been thinking about you. Thanks for the updates Stacey! My sister Kathy signed up on the Bone Marrow Registry when little Jasmine Halstead needed a transplant. Here is a little girl that we have never met and my sister had heard about her through me and she went to sign up in hopes for a match. I was pregnant with Ashlee at the time so I wasn't accepted. What a great message for you to put out for everyone to think about.
Hope your keeping warm out there. Any more snow? I have another friend that lives in Las Vegas. She sent pictures of your snow. Looked like fun!
Take care! Feel Great! Enjoy Life!
Love ya,
Anita

Thank you for the visit to Spencer's website and your kind words. Chad I am so happy to read how well you are doing off treatment. That must be exciting to be getting the port out soon too. That really makes it official! My son Spencer got a port in December and we love it except when it needs to be accessed. Then we don't love it so much. We''ll be sending good thoughts your way .

We could sure use your talent around here :-) We're counting down the days to OT with you.

You're the MAN!! (and woman!) Congrats on finishing treatment!! I know you have hauled down a long road, and now, you are just minutes away from starting a new phase of your life. We are all very happy for you in Maryland!! Chad, it's kids like you that make me believe that my son can do this too. And Stacey, well, you make ALL of us moms out there believe that we can do this too. Thanks for that!

Hi Chad,
Today is the big day, we are so happy you are finished! I know there are so many emotions right now.... we had and still have some too and Emma has been off treatment for 14 months now..... but as each day passes you will become more comfortable with being "normal" again.... (how weird it is to have to ease in to being normal.... I don't know if I myself will ever be that again!!!)
Congratulations and we are praying for a smooth day today.
Love,

Congratulations Mr. Sixth Grade Student of the Month! Good for you, Chad. Looking forward to congratulating you next month as you officially go "off-treatment". I'm sure that's kind of a wierd thought after all this time, and I'm just as sure that it will all go well. One question, I understand that you are a drummer. Have you mastered "Wipe Out" yet? If you don't know what that is, ask your mom or dad. They might remember it! It's kind of an oldie-moldie!

ACTUAL 'DEAR GOD' LETTERS (Letters to God from children)

Dear God, Did you mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an accident? Norma

Dear God, Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don't You just keep the ones you have now? Jane

Dear God, Who draws the lines around the countries? Nan

Dear God, I went to this wedding and they kissed right in church. Is that okay? Neil

Dear God, Thank you for my baby brother, but what I prayed for was a puppy. Joyce

Dear God, It rained for our whole vacation and is my father mad! He said some things about you that people are not supposed to say, but I hope you will not hurt him anyway. Your friend (but I am not going to tell you who I am)

Dear God, Please send me a pony. I never asked for anything before. You can look it up. Bruce

Dear God, If we come back as something, please don't let me be Jennifer Horton, because I hate her. Denise

Dear God, I want to be just like my daddy when I get big, but not with so much hair all over. Sam

Dear God, I think the stapler is one of your greatest inventions. Ruth

Dear God, I think about you sometimes, even when I'm not praying. Elliott

Dear God, I bet it is very hard for you to love all the people in the world. There are only four people in our family and I can never do it. Nan

Dear God, Of all the people who worked for you, I like Noah and David the best. Rob

Dear God, My brother told me about being born, but it doesn't sound right.

Dear God, If you watch me in church Sunday, I'll show you my new shoes. Mickey

Dear God, We read Thomas Edison made light. But in Sunday School, we learned that you did it. So I bet he stole your idea. Sincerely, Donna

Dear God, I do not think anybody could be a better God. Well, I just want you to know that I am not just saying this because you are God already. Charles

Dear God, I didn't think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset you made on Tuesday. That was cool! Eugene

Dear God, Maybe Cain and Abel would not kill each other so much if they had their own rooms. It works with my brother. Larry


Have a Great Weekend! Debi

Hi Chad,

It is great to have the opportunity to just say Hi to you and to let you know that I think your mom is a really a special person. She has been so concerned about my Boston Terrier, Brewster, who was bitten by a Rattle Snake. It has been so good to have her to ask questions of when I needed information. She was extremely helpful. Thanks, Stacey, for your concern and comfort.

She told me about you and we have been sharing information about you and Brewster. It's interesting how tragedy can bring people together (both yours and ours).

I am so glad that you are almost to the end of your treatments. Brewster finishes his last steroid medication on Saturday.

I am sure you know what a great mom you have but I wanted to let you know that someone else knows that about her too. You are very blessed to have a mom that is as concerned about you as she is.

Our family will keep your family in our prayers. I will also have our church family pray for you and yours.

Hi Stacey,
I enjoyed reading your message about Chad on the ALL kids list and thought I'd visit his page. Congratulations on nearing end of treatment! How nice of you to foster those dogs. We adopted our dear, departed Ringo from the Humane Society and he was such a comfort to us, especially during the early days of Kyle's illness. I always felt that he knew we "rescued" him and was grateful, but we were the lucky ones to have him. We hope to adopt another dog some day. I'm glad your clinic visit was uneventful- the best kind. Best wishes, Sue from ALL kids list

Sounds like your house is anything but quiet these days - Drums, huh? I am sure that these last three years have seemed like a lifetime, but the end of treatment is just around the corner. It was good to see you back on ALL-KIDS - you were missed, but sometimes you just have to step back for a while. I am glad Chad and Bryce are enjoying school. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hello to the Wadas!
It's so good to hear that counts are up and that you can breath a sigh of releif! Now about this camping trip --wow, it sounds like a wonderful time and looks like you enjoyed yourselves. (It might even convert me to becoming a camper!!)
Are you still going through a heat wave? Does school start soon? We have had the coolest July I remember in a long time. It's humid but bearable because of the cooler temps.

Ok --here are some riddles:

What kinds of books does a racecar driver like to read?
--Auto-Biographies!!!

What fish goes best with peanut butter? ....Jelly fish of course!

What flower does everyone have? ...well, two-lips!

Next time I will find some jokes...Have a great day!!!!!!!

Hi Chad,
Just stopping in to see how things are going. We were on vacation for awhile, so this is the first time I've been able to check-in in awhile. What a bummer that your ANC went too low again. I hate when that happens! Your body knows what to do though when it's had enough and the important thing is to keep you as healthy as possible thru the next 3.5 months. Hang in there Stacey!! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!

Hi Chad, GREAT NEWS! I just knew that your counts would be back up when you went in for your check up. I always look back at past journal entries when your Mom puts something that is "out of wack" on an entry. So far everytime there was something different with your counts, you always rebounded beautifully on the next update. It made my day knowing that you were back where you should be!
Camp sounds like fun! Did you go to Camp Clear Creek Stacey? We were in the 4th grade maybe? Can't remember if you were there or not. Had a great time then but I'm sure it's even more fun nowadays to go to camp. Just seems like there is so much more to do than look for bugs and go swimming!
Enjoy the rest of your summer and keep cool!!
Love always!

So,low counts today? I'm sure it's nothing to worry about....you've had low ones before and have rebounded beautifully! Your feeling great so go enjoy yourself! Thoughts and prayers are speeding your way. Try not to stress out too much Stacey. Easier said than done coming from someone who hasn't walked in your shoes. Just remember...he will be okay.
Hope that you are enjoying your summer. Don't know if I'd like to live in 115 degree weather. It's a dry heat though....right?
I'll keep in touch. Thanks for keeping me updated.

Any special summer plans after school is out? We went to the drive in while in Durham. It was our first experience there with the boys. We enjoyed it so much. Of course it helped that we watched a really cute movie and the weather was great! Here's to smooth sailin' !!!!!!!!

We had loads of rain today and even some sleet this morning. I thought I was dreaming! Should be sunny tomorrow (finally). I bet you see sunshine almost every day.

in the middle of a preschool playground.

"I'm free, I'm free!" he shouted.

"So what," said a little girl. "I'm four."

Chad and Stacey: Here's a joke from Evan: What do you call someone else's cheese? "Nacho cheese!" Nettie loves the picture of the boys with Sulley. Glad everyone is doing well. The dogs sound like so much fun. We sure miss having pets around here. Our cat lives with my mom and dog lives with my father-in-law so we didn't have to quarantine them when we moved to Hawaii. We haven't reclaimed them yet until Nettie's OT - Our dog is very happy where she is (a farm) so she may stay there. Hope the puppy recovers well. Happy Valentines Day to you all!

Stacey, Thanks for the entry in Emily's guestbook. I love getting messages especially from other ALL-KIDS families. I hope you are doing well.

Chad, Good job on the freethrow line! We have a pro team here (the Grizzlies) that is really struggling. If I mention to Coach Brown your performance, he may want to sign you up. Just checking in to see how you are doing.

Here is a joke for you but I must tell you that it is currently the favorite joke of my Kindergartener so hopefully it is not too baby-ish:

Knock-knock!
Who's There?

Cows
Cows Who?

No, silly. Owls "Who"; Cows "Moo"!

Take Care!!!

Thanks for the update. I am so glad that Chad's chemo went okay. How was the Run for a Wish?" Make-a-Wish is one of my favorite charities - thanks to them, Matthew's wish for a laptop was granted. He used it to keep in touch with the outside world....I use it now! Our weather is so COLD here, I wish we were there where it warm. Got to love those steroids!!

All is well here. I'll email you personally Stacey about Michael's Mom. She is still hanging in there but has had several set backs. Thanks for keeping her in your prayers. On a happy note, I am a great aunt once again. Felicia, (Ginger's oldest) had a little girl on January 10th, Devyn Renee. She joins older brother (2yrs) Nathan Rene. All doing well. You know that your getting older when your nieces are having babies! I promise to send pictures of everyone soon. I did send pictures of Kailee and Ashlee didn't I?
I'll sign again soon. Please know that I think of all of you often and keep you in my prayers daily! As usual, Hi to your parents Stacey. I hope that this finds them well.
Love ya,

Hi Wada Family,
Here it is the night before Thanksgiving at 12:10AM and I am still up making Pumpkin Pies! The last one is in the oven so I should be in bed by 1:00!! I had Kailee and Ashlee help make them this year....also wanted to keep them up late tonight so they would sleep in tomorrow so I can get some things done without their "help". We are having a quiet Thanksgiving. Staying at home this year with my Mom, Grammie, Sister Debbie, husband Greg and niece/nephew Jessica and Gregory over. A small group this year...we usually have 32! We will be going to the hospital with food for Michael's Mom. Not sure when she will be getting out.
It brought tears to my eye's Stacey to read what you and Chad went through during his last LP. I wish that I could have been there to give you a great big hug. You are truly amazing Stacey. I know where Chad gets his strength and courage from. Please know that I am with you in thought always. If you ever need to talk Stacey, you know I'm here. Can't get rid of me after 38 years!
I hope that you and your families have a very Happy Thanksgiving. You certainly do have something to be thankful for. Your wonderful family!
Enjoy you day.
Love to all,
Anita
PS~ Hey Chad, when you get done cleaning your house, could I interest you in an airplane ticket so you can come clean mine??? What a special young man you are!!

Hey. Ya'll probaly don't remember me, but I am Christine LeMoine's daughter. I used to be friends with Bryce and my mom used to be in the Richard Bryan's PTA. Well, anyways, my mom sent this to me a while ago so I put it in my favs. Well I just heard a cute joke and thought I'd pass it along: A little girl walks into a pet shop and sweetly asks the clerk,"Do you have any bunny wabitts?" The clerk bends down so that he's eye level with the girl and asks,"Would you like a nice white bunny or a soft black bunny or how about this cute brown one," pointing to a brown bunny. The girl leans in closer and softly wispers in the man's ear," I don't think my python gives a thit." Lol. I thought it was cute. Well, get well Chad and congrad. on the grades.

Hi Stacey and family,
Just a note to say hello! So glad to hear that Chad is doing so well in school and of course health-wise.
And yes it is almost that time of the year --Thanksgiving and Christmas. Hard to believe but true! What do they do in Las Vegas --put up more lights? Is there any room? In Michigan lots of people put up lights. It looks especially lovely when it snows.

Anyway, thanks for mentioning Isaiah and Alex on your site --that was such a surprise. Thanks also for your encouragement and friendship. It means so much. Take care of yourself too!

Hi Wada Family,
Just a quick note to say I'm so happy to hear that your doing so well Chad! You Go Boy! Have fun playing your sports, enjoying school (Straight A's!!! :-)), and waiting patiently for the Holidays! Kailee and Ashlee are in the full swing of Christmas. Every commercial that doesn't have "Yucky boy stuff" in it, they want! Stacey, when you get a second drop me a quick email. I've sent you a couple that I asked you a few questions about Chad and Bryce. Also, I'd like to catch up on how everyone on your side is as well as give you an update on Michael's Mom. Too long to put here, plus not the place to put it.
I will certainly keep Alex and Isaiah in my prayers. Jasmine Halstead was at Duke remember? I'm happy to say that she is doing FANTASTIC! I talk to her Aunt often.
Keeping all of you in my prayers! Touch base when you can Stacey. Please say a prayer for Michael's Mom, Tre.
Love ya,

Hi Chad and Family! I've been checking and checking to see if your Mom has had a second to update your webpage. I was thinking about to tonight, decided to check again and viola...there's an update! I'm SOOOOOO glad to hear that you are doing so well. You must be feeling great to have a big plate of tacos for BREAKFAST! I've heard of cold pizza for breakfast but never tacos.
I hope that you and your brother had a fun time on Halloween. Kailee and Ashlee dressed up as a Ribbon Fairy (ballerina type outfit) and Glenda the good witch from the Wizard of Oz. I haven't had a chance to have their picture taken yet but when I do I'll send you one. They both looked very cute if I do say so myself.
Know that I think you and your family all of the time. You are never out of my thoughts and prayers. Keep feeling GREAT!!

I'm just so sorry for the pain you are all experiencing at the moment. I wish I could come and give you BIG CUDDLES.

Chad-the-brave... You've been fighting ALL for 2 years today and you have come so far! My daughter is just a few months younger than you and her 2 year anniversary is coming up in 2 months. You both make me proud everyday when I see or read about all the wonderfully normal things you are doing. You somehow manage to live a norml life, smile and laugh frequently while getting chemotherapy. That's more than so many adults can do so pat yourself on the back!

Chad,

Two years is quite a milestone. You are such an inspiration....the way you've handled your treatments and kept your positive attitude. I hope the rest of your treatment goes as smoothly!

Hi Chad,
It looks like you and your brother had a great time at Disneyland/California Adventure. Kailee and Ashlee saw your picture with Sulley and Mike and now guess where they want to go!?! We just bought Monsters Inc. on DVD and they have been watching it nonstop.
Nice trophy too...I hope you do well at your charity bowling event on Sunday. What a great thing to be involved in! Be sure to let us know your score.
I can't believe that it has been 2 years since you were diagnosed...it seems like yesterday that I had an email from your Mom telling me. I can't wait until we are celebrating the anniversary of you being finished with your treatments! Know that we keep you in our prayers always!
Will check back in with you soon!
Love always,
Anita
PS - I hope that your body gets put back together soon Stacey! I know you don't feel well right now, but your last two "40" emails had me laughing out loud! Is this what I have to look forward to????

Aloha, Stacey and Chad. I LOVE the new pictures. The Monsters, Inc. characters are so cute and that's some big trophy - are you going to have to build a special case for that thing or what? Congratulations on reaching your two-year milestone tomorrow - Stacey, I always think that as if childhood cancer isn't unfair enough, the boys have to go through treatment longer than the girls (usually) - I so hope that on the way to finding a total cure (and they will!) they can find a way to shorten treatment time for everyone.

Hi Chad-

Hope you are getting into the groove at school... are the teachers piling on the homework yet? ;-) Always glad to read that things are going well at the Wada house. I have another cheesy joke for you:

Knock! Knock!

~who's there?

Chad!

~Chad who?

Chad to make your acquaintance!

You may have heard that one before. ;-) Lots of love to you and your family. Isabelle keeps putting your picture next to her cousin Olivia on the fridge... she thinks you two should get married... but she added, "when they're older"! ;-)

Aloha, Stacey and Chad - So happy Chad's spinal went well and he was able to start soccer. I can't think of any good jokes but here's a riddle: It's right behind you, creeps on the ground, follows you home, does not make a sound. What is it?

I'll be praying all goes well for your treatment on Thursday. Have fun at school!

Hi Chad,

I'm glad to hear everything went well with your LP - karate kicks is always a good sign your back doesn't hurt too bad! Dani feels the same way about camp - she wasn't sure it was gonna be for her, but by the end of the week she didn't want to come home! She also has plans to go back next year. Good luck at school, stay strong and keep smilin!

Hi Chad, Bryce, Stacey & Bill,
Sounds like you had a great time at Disneyland and California Adventure! You should have told me you were going there Stacey, we would have loved to stop by to have lunch/dinner with you and your family. We were at my sisters house 15 minutes away from Disneyland. Oh well, someday we'll get together. Glad to hear that you had such a wonderful time at camp too. I can still remember when I went to summer camp in the 5th or 6th grade. I cried and cried when I got on the bus to leave but by the end of the week, I didn't want to leave the camp! I hope that you have as much fun next year as you did this year! What a fun filled summer you all had!!
So how was your first few days of school? I bet your teachers and friends were glad to see you. You'll have a lot to tell them when they ask you what you did over your summer vacation. I'll be thinking about you on the 29th. Stay positive...I pray that you will be up and going right afterwards and you won't have to miss seeing your friends at school.
Know that I think about you and your family daily. Enjoy your school year Chad!
Love,
Anita
PS - Here's yet another joke from Kailee. Why does Sponge Bob have a square butt?

Because he has square pants! I don't know if she made that up or if she heard it on Nick Cartoons. Which ever it is, she thinks that is just as funny as her Smellicopter joke. Oh to be 4 again!

Whoa Wadas! You certainly sent summer off with a bang! Disneyland and Camp Cartwheel sounded like such fun. Now it's time to start the school year off with a bang too!

Hello Chad...

...just thought I would drop you a line all the way from Upstate New York! I took a look at your photos and boy oh boy...Mom, you better watch out! Am I allowed to say you are a very handsome guy?!?!?! You must get your looks from big brother Bryce, huh??

I printed out your history to read in my spare time...(I am at work now taking a WELL NEEDED break). My old Boss and his wife now live in Perump (?SP). Is that anywhere near you? I heard it is about 45 miles from LV.

It is so nice to stumble upon a site that is so positive! It looks like you have held your own through this whole ordeal...Mom and Dad must be very proud of you and your strong will! You keep it up, okay?

Take care (everyone) and I will check in again real soon!

Many Hugs...

Hi Chad,

Glad to hear everything is going great for you this summer. Here are a couple of boredom-busters for ya:

When the money comes out of the ATM machine, scream "I won! I won!!! Third time this week!"

When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot yelling "Run for your lives - they're loose!"

Sit in a parked car and point a hair dryer at passing cars and see if they slow down.

*Things get REALLY boring in Iowa.*

Take care, buddy.

What is a duck's favorite snack?

Give up?

Cheese and Quackers

Glad to hear you are enjoying bowling again this year... we took Isabelle bowling for the first time this month... she likes the bumpers! I think I need to bowl in the lane with bumpers too... maybe then I could have half a chance to beat her. ;-) Lots of love to all the Wadas!!!

Hey Chad! You probelly don't remember me but I went to school with your brother and my mom was in the P.T.A. for Richard Bryan with your mom a long time ago. Anyways, I heard you turned 10. Congradulations! From now on your not considered a little kid. :) My mom also told me you like jokes. Well, I have a fav. website. It has jokes and funny pictures. I love it so maybe you will too. It is www.00fun.com . Do you like blonde jokes? I love them myself. Well, here's one... There was a Mexican, a German, and a blonde in the construction business fixing the roof on a building. They go to eat lunch when the Mexican says, "If I get a chicken taco one more time I'm going to jump off this building." When the German saw his lunch he agreed and said, "If I get German sausage one more time, I'm going to jump too." Finally the blonde opened her lunch and said, "If I get pb&j one more time, I'm going to jump off with you guys." The next day the Mexican got his taco and jumped off the building. The German got his sausage so he jumped off too. The blonde got pb&j so she jumped as well. The next week at the funeral the Mexican's wife said, "If I knew he hated tacos so much that he would end his life, I would have fixed him something else." The German's wife agreed. They turned to the blonde's husband. "Hey! Don't look at me! She fixes her own lunch!"

HAPPY 4th of July to the Wada Family! We hope that you are enjoying Celebrating Independence Day, your Mom's 29th birthday :) and your Mom and Dad's Anniversary!! Wow...alot to celebrate today! We went to a friends house for a BBQ and a little swim. Then it was off to Michael's parents house to watch fireworks from the Church up the street from them. Kailee and Ashlee really liked the show, especially when the big fireworks made the "BOOM" sound!
I was so happy to hear that your counts are remaining so good! We won't accept anything but the best for you Chad! Enjoy your time with your cousins...Circus Circus sounded like fun. I've never been there...walked past it but never went inside.
Always thinking of you and your family!

"Ten Years Old today, Ten Years Old today, he's got the key in the door, never been Ten Years Old before!" I'm really not loosing it Chad...you have to ask you Mom to sing this song to you. She knows the tune! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!! It just seems like yesterday that your Mom told me that you were born! I hope that you had a wonderful day! At least you are out of school on your birthday, mine is Sept. 12th which is the day that we usually started school (give or take a day) when we were growing up. And your Moms birthday....well, we all know that is a National Holiday!
Glad to hear that you had a nice time in California visiting with relatives. Hope that the weather was nice for you up North. Also, VERY GLAD to hear that your counts are so good! Made my day!

Happy Birthday Chad! Hope you had a great time and that you have a great rest of the summer! I don't have any jokes, but I do have funny cats. One steals paper (He ate my parents' license plate order form.). One chews rubber (He ate my nephews' flip-flops). One steals corn cobs from the table when people aren't looking, and one likes to answer the phone! Another looks like a big black dustmop when she sits still because she is so fat. She can also say, "Hello."

Hi Chad, I just wanted to check in. I hope that you have a fun time at Sea Camp. Where in San Diego are you going...Sea World? We just went there last Friday, had a great time! Kailee (4 yrs) was SO happy that Mommy and Daddy didn't want to set in the "Soak Zone" with Shamu! The weather was beautiful! A little chilly in the morning then hot in the afternoon and cooling down again at night. Too bad we didn't go to Sea World a few weeks later. We would have loved to see you and your Mom. Oh well, someday!
We hope that you and your family have a fun Memorial Day. We are staying home and BBQing on Monday.
Prayers and thoughts are always with you Chad! Glad to hear that your doing so well!

Hi Chad, Just wanted to say "HI" and say that I hope the old "Stinky Vinky" didn't give you too much joint pain. Just think, in no time at all of this will be over and done with! We will celebrate here in California on that day with you! Nothing much new here. We are planning a trip to San Diego the weekend on May 18th. My nephew is graduating from San Diego State and we are going to take Kailee and Ashlee to Sea World. They love it there!
Please tell your big bro CONGRATULATIONS on being accepted to the National Honor Society! You go Bryce!! As I write this you are probably out celebrating! Your parents, grandparents, family and friends must be very proud of you!

I'm sure that you and your parents are very proud of him as they are all proud of you to.

Hi Chad,
Glad to hear that your counts are up and that you are feeling better! That was the best news that I've had all day. Do you have any plans for the summer? School is out in June isn't it or are you on year round? If you make a trip to California, you'll have to tell your Mom to let me know. We'd love to see all of you. Also, good going to your big bro for the straight A's. Any news yet on the National Honor Society? You are both so blessed to be such bright handsome boys! You will go far in life, just reach for the stars, the sky is the limit!
We've been busy around here. I'm helping out with the Spring Carnival at Kailee's school on May 4th. We put together 50 gift baskets over here last Tuesday for the silent auction! Whew...what a lot of work! Please tell your parents and grandparents that we say hello. Take care Chad and keep cool in the hot weather! We're keeping you in our prayers.

Wow, the new pictures are great! The mountains look pretty cool. I love snow and living in the south just doesn't satisfy our craving for snow. Oh well, considering it is about 76 degrees today, I guess we should start breaking out the spring & summer clothes and give up on the snow.

God Bless You Guys!

Chad, Sorry to hear that you are still having problems with a cough. Hope it is just allergies and they clear up soon. Hope that the steroid week isn't too bad - I know Matthew hates that week. I love the new picture of you and your brother. Hugs and prayers coming your way!

A joke for Chad!

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to
swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. The teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah". The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?" The little girl replied, "Well, then you ask him". :)
Miss you guys!

Hey Guys! I got the site address from Aunty Joyce and will definitely check for updates now. Glad to hear your numbers are good, Chad. I got a kick out of the Maui pictures in your album. Here's a joke, hope you like it. A Hawaiian chief decided to upgrade his throne. When the new throne came in, he didn't know what to do with the old one, so he stowed it in his attic. Unfortunately, he lived in a grass house, so the ceiling broke, and the old throne fell on him. The moral of the story? People who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones. OK. That was pretty stale. LOL. Willie

Whooooo Whewwwww...you go boy! Great hearing that your ANC is 1990! Consider a big hug and an "Atta Boy" sent from me. I pray that the counts continue to do well with the new dosage of 6-MP. Hope that your Orthodontist appointment went well. I can remember when your Mom got braces. When she would go in to have them tightened, she would come home and bite down on her bed sheet. She would say that she couldn't even bite on her sheet without it hurting! Do you remember that Stacey? I can still "see" you doing that. Pretty funny what we remember as kids. I been meaning to ask how your school play went? I didn't hear much about it, unless I missed an update. I bet it was fun. Okay, here is a joke....well, a joke as told by Kailee and Ashlee (almost 4 and 2).
Knock knock...
Who's there?
Boo
Boo who? (think you know the answer huh? Here's their version)
Boo, Sully and Mike!
Now if you've seen Monsters Inc. you can understand where their answer came from. Not funny but sure is cute coming from a little girl. She (Kailee) made it up all by herself.
I hope that you all have a good weekend and that your Mom gets a rest from the puppies!
Love and many Hugs to all of you!

Hello and Happy New Year! Glad to hear that Santa was good to you all this year! I don't know about you, but it looks like Toys R Us blew up in my house. The biggest gift of all is to hear how well you are doing Chad and to hear that Bryce is doing better too. Those are gifts that you just can't buy. I pray that you both continue to feel well and have a HEALTHY 2002! I bet your little foster puppies are all over the place. Too bad we just do not have any room for a dog...Kailee would LOVE a puppy! Thank you Stacey for sending the pictures via email of you, Chad, Bryce and Bill (sitting in the background.) It was nice to see all of you. Now you just need to send a picture of your parents. I haven't seen them in YEARS.
I hope that all of you have a happy, healthy New Year!

Good luck in your upcoming play at school. Just by the name of it, it sounds like a fun play. Enjoy yourself! Please thank your Mom for updating your website. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you and your family. Take care and I'll check in again.
Please give a special "Hello" to your Grandparents from "Scooter." You can ask your Mom about that name.

Hi Chad, Just wanted to check in with you and the family. I hope that you are feeling well and that no new news on the web page just means that you are having too much fun with friends and school. I still don't have any jokes, guess I'm not that funny. Kailee's new thing is to go up to her daddy, pointing to his shirt and then running her finger up the top of his nose. She then giggles and says, "Daddy you have a joke on your shirt." She's only 3 and doesn't really get what she is doing but thinks that it is the funniest thing!
Take care Chad. You are constantly in our thoughts.
Much love to you and your family,

Hi Chad & Bryce,
Q. What happened to the Jack In The Box who had too many Freezies?...

A. He felt like having a POPsicle!

Caedan made that one up... Hmmm. Hope you guys are doing fine. We're enjoying a lovely Fall day here in Canada. This weekend is our Thanksgiving Weekend. A nice holiday, but with much less HOOPLA than the American's Thanksgiving.

We are waiting for our Dad to fly out and vacation with us, we drove back (3 1/2 days) with my mom and grandma.

Here is my attempt of a joke...
There were three boys at the zoo and the zookeeper came up to them and asked for their names and what they were trying to do. The first boy said, "My name is Tommy and I was trying to feed peanuts to the lions." The second boy said, "My name is Billy and I was trying to feed peanuts to the lions." The third boy said, "My name is Peanuts."
Yeah, yeah, yeah I know, I shouldn't tell jokes!
Keep the faith Chad! We are all praying for you!

Chad,

My name is Kurt. I'm an old friend of your Mom's. We went to school together at Fleming and Narbonne. I've been getting emails from her letting me know how you're doing. I know this may be a tough time for you, but from what I'm hearing, things are looking better. Keep your faith and be strong. That's the only way you can pull through this.

Now for a little joke:

A woman frantically calls the fire department to report
a fire in the neighborhood.

The dispatcher asks, "Well, lady how do we get there?"

Confused she replies, "Don't you still have those little
red fire trucks?"

Okay, so it's a stupid joke, but I bet you laughed.

In closing I would like to say that what your are going through isn't easy. You don't need me to tell you that. But it's life's obstacles that we endure that makes us stronger. I think you will come out of this a better and stronger person, with a true appreciation of life. Most people don't experience that until much later in life, and by then, for most people, it's too late. You have your whole life ahead of you with that knowledge and experience
We are all praying for you.

Take care my unknown friend.

Aloha Chad: This is the second time I am typing this as the first try disappeared on me. I also wrote you an E-mail but understand you never got it. I can't imagine where my mail is going. Looking at all your health updates I see you officially on the road to better times and we are so happy for you. We often talk about you and how well you look and act. Your webpage is really fantastic as I haven't had much time to review it until now. WOW. I have been so busy babysitting all your cousins while on vacation but Courtney and Chelsie have moved up to middle school and they just started so now only have Cheyenne and Dakota. Your cousins have kept me busy keeping them occupied and also alive. Some days I was ready to hang them all up by their toes to the nearest tree and beat them with my bamboo backscratcher. The last day of vacation I took them all to see Atlantis but the bigger boys refused to go there so they went to see Animal. I wish I could think of a good joke for you but I'm just hopeless at jokes. I wish you could come over while you are on vacation and visit with us but I know your mom would miss you too much. We went camping on Memorial Weekend from Friday night to Monday afteroon. Just eat, sleep and swim. Built a bonfire at night on the beach and had marshmallows. We saw this lovely, big sea turtle. When all the kids are swimming and making lots of noise the turtle came in to investigate. Usually there are 4 of them but this time there was only this one. When Cheyenne and Dakota were swimming, it came in so close but then dives and just pokes his head up out of the water to watch. Anyway, Chad, will be checking more often now I'm not so stressed but you take care of yourself and the family and I'll write again soon.
Love, Auntie Pat and Family.

Oh happy day!!! Chad's counts sure went sky high. We are so very excited for you all. Chad, I have a sort of a lame joke for you that I heard on TV. What does a snail say when he is riding on the back of a turtle?..... Wheeeee!!

Hi Chad,
Hope your doctor's appt. today went ok.
I forgot to tell you that I use that pink square sandcastle mold that you gave me when I went to visit you every night when I take a bath....I use it as a rinse bucket in the tub. Also I am still using the Barney plates and bowls that your mom gave me that used to be yours and Bryce's. gotta go take a nap now. I haven't been good about that cuz I think I am outgrowing naps..........love Brianna

Hi Chad,
This is Brianna, you can call me Brie-Brie. How are you doing? What did you do for your 9th birthday? What's it like to be nine?? What kinds of things do nine-year-old boys like to do? What are your plans for the summer?
I'm kind of sad today cuz my grandma,I call her "amah" for grandma in chinese left to go home. I had a nice visit with her. We played Hiho cherry-o game and she got me some Barbie books and sticker books to read. Also I pretended to be a ballet dancer and a singer and she was the announcer for my ballet and singing show.
You will have to meet my sister, Sierra or "sie-sie". She's cute, she likes to say "UP" when she wants my mommmy, daddy and amah to pick her up.
Right now I am going to summer school--we are learning about Jesus and different parts of the country. Tomorrow we learn about Africa; last week we learned about Mexico, made the Mexican flag and ate nachos in class.
Remember when I would say, "more milk, cheese!" ??
Now I can say "more milk, PLEASE!" I guess I said some funny things when I was little. I still like that Dannon Yogurt milk!! Remember I drank at your house when I went to visit you??
When are you and your family gonna come to Texas and visit us, you can swim in our pool and play in my swing set--it has a fort attached to it!!
I'll write more later--hey I can use a mouse on my mom & dad's computer now!!
Love, Brie-Brie

Hi Chad, Bryce, Bill, and Stacey. We missed you at Lake Mohave, we just got back to Oregon at midnight last night. We thought about you all a lot while we were there, and hope to see you all som time this summer. I do not have any jokes, but Chad, tell your mom a funny story for me, o.k? Here it is: Oliver asked me in the car about 2 weeks ago why Cheerleaders were so HOT!!! I of course had to reiterate my cheerleaderdom, and your mom's...so then he asked if I looked different when I was a cheerleader than I do now (obviously I am not very hot now!) So I got out some old highschool yearbooks and scrapbooks to prove how truely HOT your mom and I were...but he did not seem to think so! But, the best part is when I got out the scrapbook I found written on a scrap of paper tucked in my scrapbook the toast I did at your mom and dad's wedding, so here it is for your reading enjoyment:

What can I say about Stacey Nagata?
I almost forgot-she's now Stacey Wada!
Her birthday and wedding and engagement, too,
are a national holiday-it's crazy but true,
She's a good friend who I've known many years,
through laughter and good times and, yes, even tears,
She's really quite talkative and funny too,
Bill-she'll be more than a handful for you!

What can I say about William Wada?
Lucky for me his name rhymes with Nagata!
He's really a great skiier when he hits the snow,
and so on their honeymoon that's where they'll go,
and did I mention that he LOVES to bowl?
For excitement their new life will no doubt be FULL,
You know that for us friends like Stacey are few,
So if someone must take her we're glad that its you!

What can I say about the new Mr. and Mrs. Wada?
Have you ever tried to find words that rhyme with WADA-here's none-NADA,
They were fixed up at work for their very first date,
Little did they know they'd become future mates,
Bill, you can't imagine all of your future joys,
She wants 19 kids, preferably all boys!
So, good luck to you as husband and wife,
Now let's all toast to their future life!!!

Chad, I know your mom is glad her wish for all boys came true, especially boys as wonderful as you and Bryce...

Post more pictures on your website...I will have Oliver type a letter to you soon, his typing is a little SLOWWWWW!

Love, Auntie, Susan

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well especially you Chad. Tell Bryce I said hi. Well heres a joke for all of you.

Ok, there was a rabbi who went on a voyage on a canoe to an uncharted island. As he came ashore he saw a giant kicking carts with people named "Trids" in them. The giant would kick the carts but for some reason it was fun for the trids so they would get back in the huge line to get kicked so the rabbi decided to see what was so fun so he got in line. When it was finally his turn he got in the cart and was ready for some fun. The giant reered back ready to kick the cart but right when he was about to kick the cart he stopped and said "Silly Rabbi, kicks are for Trids"
Yea thats a funny one right. Well if you don't get it its just like what the kids say to the trix rabbit "Silly rabbit, trix are for kids." My whole family enjoyed that joke so I thought that you would too. Hope you feel better!

A Newspaper!
A skunk in a blender--I know, sick, huh.

Another joke, but it's a long one. A pig goes into a bar and orders a beer, and drinks it down and asks the bartender, "Where's the bathroom?"--to which the bartender replies, "Down the hall on the left." A 2nd pig comes in and orders two beers and drinks them down and asks "Where's the bathroom?"--to which the bartender replies, "Down the hall on the left." A 3rd pig comes in and order 3 beers and drinks them down and asks "Where's the bathroom?"--to which the bartender replies, "Down the hall on the left." A 4th pig comes in and order 4 beers and drinks them down and asks "Where's the bathroom?"--to which the bartender replies, "Down the hall on the left." A 5th pig comes in and order 5 beers and drinks them down and heads for the exit door. The bartender stops him and asks, "Aren't you going to ask where the bathroom is????" To which the 5th pig replies, "NO, I'm the piggy that goes wee-wee-wee all the way home"

Corny I know and a long time getting there, but hope it makes you SMILE Birthday Boy!

Tell your mom she did a good job on the page! The pictures are awesome, especially the way the middle one is shaped like a flower! It looks like you had a great trip. Congratulations on your super report card, and enjoy your summer vacation. It's raining here today, but that didn't stop my guys from visiting our church bazaar for the second time and going on rides and playing games. Kyle likes the tilt-a-whirl, but I'm too old to go on those big-kid rides anymore :( Kyle told this joke during "hospital bingo" one time when he was in the hospital :" "Why did the golfer wear two pairs of pants?"

Hi Stacey and Chad, I am afriend of Anita's. You two are about to embark on a great journey together. it isn't going to be easy but you will find out a lot about yourselves. You will find you have the extra strength to carry you thru. Strength you didn't know existed. Plus patience.A lot of patience. More important support. We are here to help you and encourage you. Some days you'll take 2 steps forward and suddenly it's10 steps backward. But tomorrow it could be reversed. Keep a positive attitude and keep the faith. I've seen a lot of miracles over the past 2 years. And you can be one of them. Take care. Next time I'll have a joke or rwo for you, Chad. Be warned that mine are very corny. Ask your Doctor how you can cure water on the knees? Wear pumps. Warned you they were corny.

Hi Chad! What a great webpage! I especially liked the photos of you and your brother in Hawaii. How nice of Bryce to let you drool on his shoulder while you both sleep in the car! Marsha and I wish you a happy birthday and a great summer! I'll have Tavi and Ginger sign the guestbook separately...

Hi Chad,
I am a friend of your mom's and I wanted to come over and wish you a happy, happy birthday!
My little girl, Erin, had leukemia and is going through chemotherapy just like you. I hear that you are one amazingly brave young man.
Well, someone told me that you like jokes so I asked Erin to give me her favorite (please keep in mind that she is only 3 1/2): What should you say when you meet a ghost? Hello, how do you boo!
Okay...it's a little corny...but what are you going to do?
Big hugs to you and your family!

Hello Wada family!
The web page looks great! Well done Stacey! (Hopefully I'll get around to it one day!!) How are you Chad? Sorry for the delay once again, and this time it wasn't even your counts!
I'm sure they'll be right for Monday, so you can start maintenance then. BUT, for now you just have to HAVE FUN & ENJOY your birthday on Saturday!! Have THE BEST day!!!

Lots of love & cuddles from

Chad,
Happy birthday! What kind of neat things are you getting for your birthday? My son Ross is 10 and also has ALL. He's really into sports and playing his N64. Tell your mom she did a GREAT job with the web page!! I'll be thinking of a good joke to send you sometime.

Take care,

Hello Wada Family,

Well, it is so nice to be able to leave a message on Chad's web site. Especailly after all the nice messages you have been leaving on Sarah Anne's. I love the pictures they are so cool. My favorite is the one of Chad swinging in front of that beautiful view. I love to swing and I have never seen a swing in such a cool place. We are praying that Chad's counts come up & he can begin maintenance real soon.

God Bless You,

Hi Chad,
Happy Birthday!!!!! We hope you have a wonderful day. Sorry to hear all the trouble you had at the clinic. Hopefully you will get to start maintenance on Monday, that would be a good belated birthday present!!! I met your Mom on the ALL Kids list, my 3 year old daughter has ALL also. We are going to the clinic today. Here is one of Emma's favorite jokes, it doesn't make much sense because she doesn't tell it right, but she thinks it is the funniest thing she ever has heard. (this is how she says it): "Why does a squirel have no friends? Because he climbs a tree and acts like a nut!!!!!! I guess it is funny to a 3 year old, she laughs and laughs!!! When I figure out how it really goes, I will let you know. Take care and eat lots of cake tomorrow!!!
Love,
Tammy, Ron, and Emma Hall

Hey Guys... GREAT job on the website. Looks fantastic!! Chad, I hope that you have a great weekend, and I hope you get to start Maintenance on Monday! Kate is scheduled to start Maintenance on Thursday, but you know how that goes with low counts and all, so we'll just have to see. Sorry I don't have any jokes for you. Trust me... It's better that I DON'T tell jokes -- I NEVER get them right!!!!! Have a super birthday tomorrow. Your friends in Georgia are thinking about you!

You never seem to miss a beat even with everything you are going through. Always remember that God loves you and will take care of you no matter what. Congratulations on the straight A's!!! I see that you take after your Mom! We hope that you have a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY on Saturday. Enjoy yourself! ncdkesddnd jeehfduejd kdeheddf fhdb dhjeot jher That was a quick Happy Birthday message from my daughter Kailee (3 years old).

Love and Happiness,

Hello Chad from the sunny Bay Area of California. Your mom and I are buddies on ALL-KIDS. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! My daughter Lily turned 9 in March and this is one of her favorite jokes. Here goes: A string walks into a bar and asks for a beer, but the bartender asks him, "Are you a string? Because we don't serve strings here!" The string replied, "I'm afraid so," and walked out the door. While outside he tied himself up and loosened this threads then boldy walked into the bar again and ordered a beer." The bartender gave him a glare and said, "Aren't you a string?" and the string replied, "I'm a frayed knot!" : )
Love to you and your dear family Chad!

hi Chad! Happy 9th Birthday! We are so proud of your great report card. Since I'm a teacher, I know how hard it is to keep up when you are absent so much. Next year will be better. We really want to come and visit you this summer. Let us know when the best time is. Mattie is into dinosaurs and Batman right now. Ian is talking a lot and I always think of you and Bryce when I look at my boys. We love you , your brother and your mom and dad. Have some fun this summer and don't sweat too much in that Vegas heat! Come to California if you want.
Love, Auntie Jeanne and Family
Neat web page.

Hi Chad from California!

Happy Birthday, you cutie you.

I am the worst joke teller, here's an elephant joke that is sooooo bad: What is the difference between an elephant and a plum? Answer: Plums are purple. What did Tarzan say when he saw the elephants stampeding? Answer: "Lookout, here come the plums". He was colorblind.

I told you it was a baaaaad joke.

Will your mom let you in the kitchen to cook? Yvette surprised us lately with a few yummy things and Yvonne's quite the chef herself. Deal is though, you've got to clean up after cooking! If you are game, we make some great (cream of) broccoli soup (or celery or whatever) and are willing to share recipes. (My specialty is fresh fruit smoothies, yummmmmm).

Hugs!

Hey Chad, Happy Birthday!!! On with the jokes, - "You're so tall Jack used you instead of a beanstalk" & "Your house is so dirty when I walked in all the roaches were wearing shoes". Have a nice birthday, hope to see you soon. Cody

Spenser: "When you walk into somebodies house you stepped on a coachroach, -"hey, why did you step on our family pet?"
(I guess this is how Kelly got started, -HELP!!)

A very, very happy birthday to you Chad. We are all very proud of you. And Bryce we hope you stayed awake during your trip b/c the scenery was just lovely. All our best,
