Wesley's Tomato

While Ben and I were busy hanging clothes out on the line, Wesley went into the garden and picked himself a tomato. He came running over to us with a huge smile while shouting, "Da Da, Da Da!". He was so proud of his little green tomato that we couldn't be upset. It was so cute. And Wesley being Wesley even tried to take a bite out of it. (Hence the darker green spot on the tomato.) This kid still has to put EVERYTHING in his mouth. :)

What a Nice Boy!

Here's how it all went down... Butters was stretched out sleeping on the ottoman when Wesley decided that she looked a little chilled. He grabbed one of his favorite blankies and nicely covered her up. I also need to mention that he placed one of his pacifiers next to her too.

Maybe he is preparing to be a great big brother? I'll sure give him the benefit of the doubt. :)

Puddles

We had a big storm come through today, which meant we had puddles on our nightly walk. This was Wesley's first big encounter with puddles and boy did he like them!

Got it!

It is a rare chance that I catch a real Wes smile with the camera. I couldn't pass up posting this one. I love how his whole face just lights up. He's got a mouthful of chompers, huh?

Boys will be Boys...

I guess the saying, "Don't dish out what you can't take," applies here. :)

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. :)
