Hudson Walk of Fame

Wesley got his very own star on the Hudson Walk of Fame. Well, kind of...

You see, we added a third stall onto our driveway recently. This meant we had wet concrete, which meant having Ben tell me to get Wes out of a nap since the concrete was ready to have tiny hands imprinted in it. Sleepy Wes was able to help us out through his daze. This may have been in our favor, since he only tried to grab the cement with one of his hands. 16 month old Wesley handprints will be forever imprinted onto the Hudson driveway. We'll have to make sure to concrete something else in the next few years so that baby girl can join in the history of 4055 Kristine Street.

(This was attempt #1, which ended up being in a location where the cement was already too hard.)

(Attempt #2 was much more successful!)

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.
