What did I catch on fishing opener? Hayfever.

Fishing opener weekend! We're so happy that Daddy actually was okay with us (me & Mom) spending the weekend with him at the cabin while he fished. He did a great job - was up by 5am both days and caught some good lookin' fish. I had a chance to spend plenty of time with the G's - Gma & Gpa Sherck. Here's me and Gma scopin out the fishing hot spots from the dock.

We went on a HAPPY HOUR boat ride! Gpa let me drive the boat really fast and then I said "whoa whoa whoa whoa!"

No, this is not child porno, but I HAD to post. One benefit of the cabin: I can run free if I get all of my clothes wet & dirty! I was fishing in the yard and caught Gma on the line....

I spent plenty of time playing in the sand with my trucks and throwing rocks. Gpa counted that I threw exactly 1, 523, 277 rocks in. Who says I have a short attention span? Well, I threw rocks in the lake for 1.5 hours today.

If I found a rock up by the cabin - I RAN to throw it in the water. The weather was beautiful - calm and high of 75 degrees both days.

The cabin is fun n' all, but from the time I got there - Mom & I sneezed, wheezed, coughed, scrathed our eyes, and our noses ran the entire time. I think I caught myself a case of the fishing opener hereditary Becker hayfever.

Pretty pumped for this week - I get 3 days ALONE with my Daddio cuz Mom is out of town for work. We're going to go and do boy stuff, like clean the garage, eat pistachios and run to cabelas for fun.

Mother's Day: A Scavenger Hunt, A Turkey & A Surprise!

This weekend was a special weekend for Mama Sherck because it was Mother's Day! The weekend started out...Dad and I got up bright and early on Saturday morning and made Mom an Egg Beaters omelette with Bacon, Aspargus & Morel Mushrooms. Before she ate, I took her on a scavenger hunt. I gave her a card that said "Happy Mamma's Day...look by the stereo" By the stero was another card with the picture below and it said "Free for one night away on June 25th...it's all booked!"
I sent her to my highchair where I had the next card hidden. I had a picture below and it said "reservations all set for June 25th for 8 people"

The last hiding spot I took her, had a picture of all of her girlfriends below. Me and Dadda were sneaky and planned this special day on June 25th with all of Mom's girlfriends. Two hotel rooms booked, dinner out for girls night and her friends have it on the calendar! I thought she hated the gift because she started to cry but then dad said that she was happy....she LOVES her girlfriends sooo much!

Saturday night we headed over to our friends from church, the Colby's. They have a beautiful huge house out in the country of Rogers/Hassan and I had a chance to play with my buddies Ian and Declan! Here's Ian (6 yrs) being a goofball:)

Me and Declan. He's 2 yrs old but he's a little guy and we're about the same size. Thanks Dirk, Leah, Ian & Declan for inviting us - we had a blast!

Sunday morning, Dad headed out by 330am for his first day of turkey hunting. By 8am the bird was down!! Great Job Dad! Sheesh, he's been talking about this for the past 3 months and the whole adventure lasted a total four hours. A nice 21 lb bird. Not as bid as last year but he told me "it's not about the size, it's about the experience Brades"

When Dad brought it home, he had to hold me because I wanted to tackle the thing...This pic below is the BEFORE TURKEY PICTURE:

This is the photo of Turkey: AFTER. Fresh homemade Turkey Pot Pie! Yum!

Have a good week everyone. Please pray for us that our insurance company starts being nice to us and giving us money this week at a decent price so we can figure out our carpeting in the basement. I really miss playing down there because all of my really fun toys are in the basesment. Happy Mother's Day to all Mommy's out there. Being a kid, I sure know that there are many things that Moms just do better.

Hangin' w/ the Boyz: Coop, Croz & Jax

Last night headed over to our friends house, the Murphy's so I could play with my boyz Cooper, Crosby & Jaxson. Here is a pic of their parents, Brandon & Keegan. They're really cool. Keegs made me some delicious pizza for dinner. Coop-doggy-dog, 3.5 yrs.

Croz-meister. He's my age. Notice we had popsicles after pizza! Yum!

And, #3 is Jax. Look at his chubbalicious cheeks! He's a very good baby.He didn't make a peep the entire time we were there. He is 3 months old.

The buddies!

And, here I'm kickin' back a few with my main "boy" my Dadda.

Off to another busy day today that consists of 1) Office Max to buy Mom a new work chair for Mother's Day, 2) Nap & 3) Party at the Colby's with my friends Ian & Declan. Can't wait!

A Bunch of Jibberish

Happy new week, everyone. Boy do I have a lot of stuff to tell you (and a lot of pictures to prove it) It's obvious that I'm not so smart because I really can't figure out on this blogger how to dowload pics in the right order. Oh well. I'm getting tired for a Sunday night and getting ready to hit the hay. Pics of my FAB weekend below...
Dad went fishing on Sunday (without me) but the minute he opened that garage door I was by the back door helping him push the boat back in the garage.
Mom has a new nickname for me....RAINMAN. I love counting toothpicks. Don't tell Dadda that she let me play with these because he say's they're not very safe for a kid my age. I giggled the entire time...

Saturday 11am met for our weekly park play date at French Park in Plymouth! Here's me on the DIGGER!

Here is little baby Keelin, mama friend Martina's little one. I just call him "baby" cuz I can't member his name ever.

And, we also met the Fuzzmeister!!!!!!!!

And princess Jade. When were there - she went potty, ON THE POTTY and she was telling everyone about it.

Typical look of Brady Michael Sherck. This pic, I look a little like my Gpa's little brother Dan who passed away before I was born. It's the upper "Becker" over bite lip. Love it or hate it, it's here to stay...

Saturday night I had my first Birthday party at PUMP IT UP - an indoor inflatables place for Addison's 3rd birthday. All of the kids from daycare were there. Here's Emma, Mom & me hangin in a jumpy thing.

Here's the "CREW" - notice me, I was NOT going to sit for a picture. I was the youngest one there so....I'm learning all of this ediquette stuff.

I have labeled this picture OVER-STIMULATION.

My most favorite part of all....SHELLI was there. Man, I love her. I could care less about my Mom when she's around. And, I have a nickname for her - I call her "mommy" I'm sitting on her lap with Brooklynn watching Addison open gifts. I love you Shelli and Brooklynn.

TUPTATE!

Here is Addison in the pink - she was blowing our her candles. She was wearing this princessy poofy pink dress for her special day.

And back-tracking here....Friday night we met out with friends to Guadalajara, a local Mexican joint here in Rogers. I met up with Gavin, Brooklynn, Zach and all of their parents.

Gavin & Brooklynn...I think they're in love.

Brookie is starting to take care of me. All night she was holding my hand and watching out for me. I love that girl. Too bad Gavin has her wrapped around his finger.

I'll leave you with a video from tonight. I'm really starting to talk jibberish.....no one really has any clue what I'm saying but I talk non-stop. For example, tonight after my bath. Mama drained the water and I didn't want to get out of the tub. I refused. I laid on my back and was trying to reason with her... Turn up the volume and hit PLAY.

It's not a sucker?

So, this morning - Daddy was in the shower. As usual, I was digging around in the drawers in the bathroom and I found a ton of suckers and i was munching on the pink wrappers. Then, Mom said "Gaaah. Eewwwhhhhat! NO Brady, that's not a sucker. It's a tampon..." Dad started laughing but I'm not exactly sure why...

Buzzy as a Bee

This is another one of those picture posts - I have been so dang busy lately, it's hard for me to take the time to post! In no particular order, the excitement of the past week. I'm now almost 17 months old. Time flies! Here's me & Dadda this weekend - eating panpakes for breakfast.

My favorite thing to do in the garage lately is play with Dad's fishing rods - I even know how to say "ouch" and "no-no" and point to the sharp stuff. This past Wednesday night, I had my first REAL babysitter. I've had several people watch me before, but this cool girl named Myriah (she's in 7th grade) came over to my house while Mommy & Dada went to the Twins game! Thanks Shelli for recommending Myriah because I lOVVVVVVVED her because she took me to the park and let me chew on rocks.

They went with our friends Katie & David - super fun! The new field is amazing and they loved every minute of it - the Murray's steak sandwich, the pizza, the gelado and even the beer.

Here's Mom and Ryerse, they had this whole huge thing of treats. Oh, women.

Lately, at this age - I want to help with EVERYTHING around the house. I helped Dad patch a few holes in the yard and he even let me throw some grass seed.

Saturday was a great day! I met all of my friends - Fuzz, Reese, Jade, Gavin, Brooklynn & Addison at the Maple Grove Community Center for an indoor playground date and picnic. We had a blast - that was....until I threw a 20 minute FREAKOUT tantrum and everyone was staring at me. Mom was super embarassed but I told her I was sorry. I didn't get a pic of all of the kids together - we're all just like monkeys and were running around like wild animals. I call this place a little over-stimulating. It's cool & all, but man there were a ton of kids and I preferred to just stand and watch the other kids. (see picture below)

HEre's is Fuzz & Jade - we had a nice picnic lunch. I'm not in the picture because I was throwing my fit during this time.

Saturday night Karis came over! She was in town for the weekend and it was a GREAT visit.

Karis taught me how to play the drums on the counter. I was a gigglin' machine.

Speaking of Karis - her new boy toy Steve - I posted a picture of us from a few weekends ago when we were in Duluth. He had this super cool wind chime in his backyard that I wanted to listen to all night.

This past week, I also met up with an "old buddy" of mine, Evan. Actually, I've never really met him before, but his Mom & Dad and my Mommy & Dada went to the child birthing classes together. Evan and I are the same age and we met for a play date at the park - he is one fearless dude.

Evan - can't wait until next time!

That's about it. I've been very cranky lately but my parents are hoping that it's just more teeth coming in. I'm saying new words everyday and thanks to daycare, my new favorite word is "mine" and "let's roll" Dadda and I always say "let's roll" when we're leaving the house to head for daycare in the morning. Hope everyone is doing well! XXOX

Cheezy Church Pic

It was that time - time a month ago or so, for the cheezy church picture with the blue background. Sure wish they would have taken a few photos after we had a chance to get a little tan, but guess that didn't work with their schedule. I have a lot of cool little friends at church from the nursery, can't wait to see if they smiled for their family photo?? I sure did - and I look pretty dang cute if you ask me.
