The Perfect Punkin and a Camera Crazy Mama

Oh, what a fun day. Today Mom and I took a trip to the Pumpkin patch. I got to pick out my first pumpkin. I was so annoyed that Mom kept trying to take pictures of me but sheesh, she is just insane sometimes. I was not cooperating and didn't feel like smiling or even looking at the camera.

At first, I was meditating with the Pumpkins...And then, I was watching the tractors go by. And then I made friends with the pumpkins and put my arms around them. Uh, hem...notice my Vikings outfit?I went searching for the best pumpkin in the patch. What do you think about these?Bingo! Here's my first pumpkin! It's PERFECT!

Here's me and that crazy lady. Easy with the Camera, Mom. Stop acting like a first-time Mom.Back to school tomorrow with my friends. See ya!

Uh Oh Spahetti O

This has been a glorious weekend so far... I had spaghetti's O's for dinner on Friday night and they were absolutely delicious. They were so good that I decided to use them as a "pretend" shampoo. Today, it was Boyz day at the Shercks while Mom did girlie stuff. We went shopping, bought a new dishwasher, you can see below that I was helping him install it. Our old one just wasn't working well at all and kinda pooped out on us.

After he was done, it was my job to do the inspection, so I looked inside...

I couldn't really see good enough so I got a better look...

Have I told you that I I know how to say a word? Yup. Whenever I see my Mommy, I say "mama mama mammmma!" I think it's official and from experience, whenever I say that to her and gaze into her eyes with my big blues, I get WHATEVA I WANT!

Happy Birfday Dad.

Okay, Dad...I didn't make you a delicious birthday cake, but I DID make you some pumpkin sugar cookies for your birthday, does that count? I know, I know..I've been a slacker blogger so thought I'd post a few pictures from tonight. It is Daddy's birthday and we have been celebratin' fools! We just finished pepperoni, basil & garlic flat bread pizzas. Yum! Um, thankfully Dad is feeling better today on his special day because yesterday he was in bed all day with the flu. Ick.

Family picture playing on the stairs because this is all I want to do lately is go up the stairs over and over again.
And, what else have I been up to? Well, if you don't close the door to the bathroom, I'll go in, open the lid to the toilet, play in the water and then when I'm done, I'll grab the toilet paper a pull it all out, then rip it up in tiny pieces and then I eat it. It's so darn fun.

Gotta run - peace out.

Twins and a yogurt mohawk

I'm one lucky dude. I had a chance last weekend to go to the Metrodome with Gpa & Dad for the Twins game. It was boys outing to celebrate Gpas birthday. We took the train...It was a little chilly outside so I had to wear this poofy hat with my fleece.WHen we got there, it was just magical. We had tickets in the FSN suite...pretty sweet if you ask me. I got to crawl around. Did I mention that I got an A++ for attitude and behavior?I had my own seat. I sat there and whistled for the Twins. Whoot Whoo! Sunday, went to see my home boys Crosby & Cooper while Daddy & Brandon went shooting at the range. Here's me and Cros - we like peas and carrots.Check out Coop's camo shirt - where are you Coop Dogg...can't see you! Their Mommy has a baby in her tummy. How the (@#%!)O(#% did that get there?

Not too much else new except that Mom let me eat yogurt with a spoon tonight. I have a yogurt mohawk! What is she thinking?!?!? Duh...

It's about pumpkin time 'round here so I pulled out a hand-me-down hat from Fuzz (that Cullen made) Little small but I'm sure making it work to be festive. It matches my camo coat perfectly.

This week is FLYIN' by! Hope to see you all soon. I'm gonna give a quick shout out to my ladies out there - Dougie, Cullen & Rye...Happy Diggity Birthday to you all!

Happy Birthday to me, I'm 10 months old and I'm going to a MN TWINS game!

Whew time flies and I've been a slacker about writing on my blog. Ten months old? Yup - sure am growin' fast. Right now, at 10 months old, here are some of the things that I'm doing:

1. I'm eating all people food: hotdogs, pot roast, cheetos (yes), just 'bout everything. I'd rather eat any meat than fruit & veggies

2. I'm crawling all over like a speed racer

3. I pull myself up on everything and am starting to walk along the coffee table

4. I open ever single drawer that I can see, I pull everything out of the drawer and throw it on the ground

5. When Mom & Dad aren't watching, I open the lid to the toilet and I play in the water

6. I drool a lot and I still don't have a single darn toooof

7. I like to sing La La La La

8. I'm starting to wave bye-bye

9. I'm in LOVE with Mickey Mouse Playhouse

10. Still getting up about once in the middle of the night

11. I love to pull Mommy's hair and rip Daddy's sunglasses off of his face

12. Every day, I turn my humidifier in my room on & off about 2,000 times (in a row)

13. I eat kleenex

14. I can crawl up an entire flight of stairs

15. Not a big fan of cuddling...when it's time to go to bed, just put me in my crib.

We've been good at the Sherck household except for a nasty 48 hr flu Mom had earlier this week so we've been kickin' it at home. Daycare is a blast still and this week I've gotten to wear some new jean's n' stuff because it's getting frigid.

This weekend on Saturday Me, Dad & Gpa Sherck are going to my first ever Twins game. Not sure if I'm really into baseball yet (a little boring on TV) but, should be a fun adventure. Pics of me are from the past few days just hangin' at 10 months old!

13 Fun AND 1 Not So Much Fun

What is the definition of FUN?

1. Happy Hour with my buddy Rylan. He is one cute dude. He likes to talk too - he gabbed the entire happy hour.
2. Going to my buddy Zach's FIRST Birthday party. I guess I have to wait another 2.5 months before I get a huge sugarrry cake thing. Pic below is, Zach's Mommy, Aimee, Zach, Mom & me.3. My aunt Zoie & Mommy making funny faces is fun(ny)

5. Taking my first airplane ride to CALIFORNIA is Fun! Mom told me to wave at the Pilot but he must've been hiding cuz i couldn't see him.6. Seeing Gma & Gpa Durham (I call them Gma & Gpa California) - I love them!Gma - thanks for taking care of me and wining and dining me with yogurt n' stuff. And...for taking me shopping. I'm gonna look like like a stud this fall.

7. My Gma has a SWIMMING POOL, uh hem, IN HER BACK YARD! That is what I call...FUN!

8. Playing dress up in my new shades.9. Touching my little toesies in the chilly ocean for the first time ever at Newport Beach, CA(and not the last). I'm sure glad a shark didn't bite me.

10. Traveling with my Mama. Thanks woman for putting up with me on the flights...

11. Learning how to say cheeeeeeez for the camera is fun (thanks Gma CA for teaching me)
12. Fun is being 9.5 months - I have a great life.

13. Fun is being back home from my trip and FINALLY getting some time to spend with our whole family together with Daddy NOT traveling! Yippee.

So, you're wondering....what is NOT SO MUCH FUN?

1. Traveling back on an airplane from California with a 103 temp, a cold, 2 pink eyes and a double ear infection. I'm feeling MUCH better thanks to that nasty goopy pink stuff that Mama & Dada tie me down and force me to drink 2x a day. Duh parents, that stuff is nasty!

See ya!

Allergy season...ha-choo!

Labor day means that summer is almost over. Not fair! Last weekend we were at the cabin with the Gpa & Gma Becker, A Zoie, A Ellie, A Cami, U Ryan & Gma & Gpa Sherck. It was a blast.

Cami loved me up and Ryan, I don't really like him for some reason. So, he went out fishing with my dad instead of hangin' out with me. Hey, Ryan - that's as big as you could catch 'em? Geez...didn't Cami score 2 huge smallmouth bass while reading a cooking magazine?
Aunts Zoester and Ellie Monster.

Here's me, my mom and all of her sisters.

Zoie and Ellie went fishing with dad - check out all of those fish they caught!

We went on a boat ride to Zorbaz for pizza & beer! So, you're wondering where I am because I'm not in this picture? Well, obviously I slammed too many drinks because I'm passed out on 2 chairs against the wall.Hey mom - nice red glow.

I went tubing too! Well, kind of...I went tubing in the yard but it was just as much fun as the water. Check me out, I was waving to the girls riding by in a boat.

I read books with Gpa Sherck - old books about old cessna planes. See that book shelf? I can pull out every single book on that thing. It's awesome...Gpa puts them all away for me.

Gpa Becker! You make me laugh. Everyone keeps telling me that I look like you. It's TRUE!

Gma Lisa reading me a book.

One last thing about the cabin...I love it n' all but, every time I go up there I sneeze and sneeze and sneeze. And, my nose is jammed up and then it runs all day. Mom said it's something about allergies but I have no idea what those are.

I'm getting psyched for my trip in 3 days to California to stay with Gma & Gpa Durham for 5 days. Forecast is 95 & sunny so I'm planning on bringing my SPF. Hmm....how will Mom keep me busy for 3.5 hrs on my first plane ride?

A Prick, the Digits and a Shot

Hoooray! Whew, I lived through my 9 month check-up appointment. Well, why wouldn't I be happy when I had my sugar pie Dr. MaryBeth gaze into my eyes?
She said I'm doing great, healthy and everything is completely normal. This is good news, right?The day started out with a finger prick, followed by my Digits and concluded with a flu shot.

Here's the low-down: Show me the love people...
Height: 28.5" (50%)
Weight: 17.4lbs (5%, a LEAN MACHINE)
Head size: 45.5 (50%)

What does this mean? It means I'm skinny and normal. ROCK ON!
Here's me and Mom just chillin' waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting.

We got home, I got a treat of cheetos for being so good and now getting ready to pack for my trip to the cabin this weekend with a BUNCH of my relatives. I can't wait!

XOXO

Peace out.
