4th of July

4th of July was extra fun this year. 2010 represented the 25th anniversary of the Schrocks and Kimmels getting together to watch the Caledonia fireworks. Even my brother and his wife were in town from Denver to join in the celebration. We then headed down to Klinger Lake to spend some time with the Hudsons.


Here are some of the highlights.

Wesley got to take a ride in Denny Wilson's suped up golf cart. Wesley

preferred to drive of course.

Here are three gorilla shirted cousins.

Here are Wes and Elliot enjoying their spaghetti dinner. The pictures were too cute to
pick just one, so I decided to do a little spaghetti series for you.

After dinner, both boys got baths in the lake!

It's a Girl!

We had our ultrasound recently and found out that we are having a baby girl! Our due date is still set for November 7th and all seems to be well. :)

Frederick Meijer Gardens

While the Daddies went off to play golf last weekend, Wes and I went up to Grand Rapids to hang with Renee and Camryn Kolzow. We had lots of fun and even got the chance to spend the day at the Frederick Meijer Gardens.

Beach Boy

We went to the beach on Sunday. Wesley loves Lake Michigan beach way more than Myrtle Beach. Whew! That makes things much more convenient, since it is just a 10 minute drive away.

Steal of a Deal

Only $2? I'll take him!

Wesley knows all about stickers. He gets one after every tumbling and baby music class and proudly slaps it on his shirt. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised that while I was cleaning up from our garage sale, he found a sticker and tagged himself. I couldn't control my laughter after seeing what he'd done. I think he considerably undervalued himself...

That's Our Boy!

Wesley must have noticed that his daddy and I always put our cups on coasters, because he has started to put his sippy cups on them when he is done. As you can see, he also likes to put the coasters in his mouth... :)

Bathtub Funnies

Besides making funny faces in the bathtub, Wesley now likes to lay down on his belly to "swim." He'll even blow bubbles. Funny how we couldn't get him to blow bubbles back during swim lessons a few months ago.

Wesley's 15 Month Stats

Wesley is already 15 months old! He weighs 20 lbs., 8 oz. (5th percentile) and 32 inches in length (75th percentile). He's still tall and skinny, but healthy. :)

He can say Daddy, Mama, uh oh, dah (dog), kitty, hi, tree, bite, hot, and lots of animal noises. His favorite past times are climbing on things, chasing the cats around, swimming, riding in his Cozy Coupe, and hanging with his neighbor buddies. He cut his first molar while we were on vacation two weeks ago and the other molars are well on their way. He's a happy little guy who also makes his mommy & daddy very happy.
