Fall is here - the annual trip to 101 Market

I know that Fall is FINALLY here because today we went to the 101 Market as a family to pick out 'punkin's!!' I've attached a few pics from the adventure...the only pic I didn't include is the one of my screaming/bawling because I DID NOT like the corn-cannon. They would shoot corn ears out of this gun and I HATED IT! (PS: I'm a wussy) I picked out the very best pumpkin for a jack-o-lantern and to help Mom make the delicious pumpkin seeds with a lot of salt! Family picture!

There was a petting zoo, I fed the animals - especially the Baby Kangaroo. He really liked the Honey Comb cereal.

Dad and I checkin' out the goats.

This was called the CORN PIT. FUN is one word that sums it up! It was a big huge bath tub thing of corn!!!....enough that we both found corn pellets in our 'shorts' after we got home. Ha!

We took a huge long bumpy animal ride that was pulled by an ATV. We went into the corn maze and out a bit, up and down hills. I thought it was fun...but Mom squeezed in there with me so I wouldn't be scared.

Daddy has been traveling a lot lately for work and it was soo nice to have him hang with us this weekend. We love you Daddy!

They also had go-carts...but I am too little so we just watched the other kids.

And, finishing with one last picture...I'm whining about something.

I hope you all have a good week! Lata!

22 month MILESTONE! A new BED!!

This weekend I went shopping with Mom and Daddy and we stopped at this store with bunch of beds...they said I could pick out any which one I wanted so...I picked out this one!Then we stopped at Pottery Barn and I got a brand new quilt, sham & sheets. We brought it all home, then Dad and I worked in my room taking down the crib. I was a little nervous, not really sure what he was doing!Here is the final video. Think I'm excited? Geez...turn up the volume!! I was first blowing my fish mobile, and then singing "no more monkey's jumping on the bed!!"

So, you're all wondering how the first night went? Well, five minutes and I was sound asleep in my new bed with all of my animals and blankies. I slept through the night until Dad woke me up at 8am. For my naptime today, I fell asleep by the door with my blankie, but Mom must've "transferred" me to the bed after I fell asleep because I woke in my comfy new bed! This is definitely a milestone and a great step for me as I prepare to be a big brother. The next few weeks may be tough, but I know my parents don't play any games so wish us BOTH luck! I sure don't want to be standing by my door screaming every night this week but if its something they'll make me do...I'll cope, I guess.

Choo Choo Cullen!

This past Saturday was sooo much fun! I attended my buddy Cullen's 3rd Bday party at Choo Choo Bob's - it's a train store in St. Paul and a ton of my friends were there! Above is a pic of Evelyn (I call her V), she's Cullen's little sister. Below from left is Koen, Jade, Reesie is in the back and then me. After we played with trains, we went into the bday room and ate pizza and then cake! Check out that cool cake - happy bday Cullen!

Cullen lives in Madison, WI and I miss him since he lives there. I wish I got to see him more but....Saturday was so much fun that I'll remember it forever!

One last picture - me and Fuzz watching the trains!

Pump It Up - Brooklynn's 4th Birthday Party!

This weekend was a blast - Friday night had a chance to spend a few hours at PUMP IT UP for Brooklynn's Bday BASH....she turned FOUR years old, gettin' to be a lady these days. Here are all of my friends!!

Me - 22 months old. My 2nd birthday is in two months...hmm....am I having a bday party since I got jipped out of my 1st? hee hee

New Laptop and a Thump, Thump, Thump!

Not so little anymore.

I hope ya'll haven't given up on me. I know I've been a horrible blogger lately but I promise that things will get more on a weekly schedule. Know why? Well, because the FedEx guy dropped off a brand new shiney laptop for me and Mom thanks to Daddy. Now we have a place to store our pictures and Mom has a personal puter that runs super fast!! Whippee!

Labor day weekend we stayed home from the cabin and went out boating - just our family and then had a packed lunch on the boat. It was fun....and if you can even believe it, Dad didn't fish. We just strolled and I drove the boat the entire time. We made it to the State Fair again this year! I ONLY ate a pronto-pup, carmel apples, cheese curds, mini donuts. fries and....I forgot all of the rest. My favorite part was the tractors - I'm definitely a BOY.

Mom, you ate ALL of them? Geez.

We have been busy lately and I've attached a few pictures below to show you! I went out to eat and then played with my friend Kassidy....I call her K-Rae.

We went to St. James last weekend to hit up Tara & Mike's wedding reception. I was bustin' a move on the dance flor and, oh....I had my fair share of cupcakes (5) I would freak out when Mom would take them away from me (I could reach them on the table) and fortunately, it wasn't a battle she was going to fight. She's happy Gpa Becker came to rescue me before it was too late.

Hmmm...wonder why I was up this night until 1am?? SUGAR HIGH!

Today was a special day, a 16-17 week update on my baby bro/sis. Mom went to the doc and things look great with a strong heartbeat of about 150bpm! She goes back for the big ultrasound in 4 weeks. Please continue to pray for a healthy baby. No, we are not finding out the sex of the baby - we have no reason to find out...we're fly by the seat of our pants Shercks so we like the suprise.

Tomorrow night is Brooklynn's bday party at PUMP IT UP, followed by a surprise bday party for Jenna's husband Kyle i St. Paul so all I'm sayin is...I'm sleeping in on Sat. The "mom gfriend gang' are coming over Sat night to sit around in their PJs and watch TV so I think I'll join in the festivities.

Dad is in Canada again for work through the weekend. We sure miss him when he's gone a lot. Mom and I have just bee chillin' at home and playing. Dad missed it - last night I farted (he taught me that) and then I looked at Mom and said "Pee-ewh, Momma - Brady funnnney!" Oh Lordy.

Cheers to a new laptop and updates! .

What I've been up to lately....

Starting off with a pic of my Aunties Ellie & Zoie on their first day of school this week. Wow - they're getting big!!Last week was crazy! Shelli was off on vacation to some sunny place so I had a chance to spend most of the week with Daddy, Mom and Gma/Gpa. Bad news? I came down with a cold and then followed by the icky flu bug of vomiting and the squirts. It was not fun. After some relaxing time and about a liter of "juice" (Pedialyte), I have officially turned the corner and feel great! I'm back at daycare and rockin' and rollin' with my friends or, as I say "fends"

Last weekend we headed up to Gull Lake. Dad participates/volunteers at an annual Fishing Tournament called Fishing has no Boundaries. I'm very proud of him for his involvement in this tourney and I've attached some super funny pictures below! If you'd like to read more - catch Daddys' Due North blog http://www.duenorthoutdoors.tv/bill-shercks-blog/

Here are Daddy's fishing partners last Saturday. They were hoots!

Update on my end. I still love ice cream, especially ice cream with chocolate.

My new favorite thing to do is pretend that I'm working like Mom does all of the time! Haha....I know how to use the mouse and type on the keyboard to write these blog posts!

Here is me & the Mrs. on a playdate outing with all of Mom's friends and the kids at a splash pad. Mom is feeling much better but her belly is getting huge already! It must be the cheetos & fudgesicles! Ha! The baby peanut is now 15 weeks old and a growing machine. Please continue to pray for a healthy baby sister or brother AND a healthy rest of the pregnancy! Everyone keeps asking.....will we find out the sex of the baby? Um...we're a 'fly by the seat' kinda family and we can't think of one good reason why we would find out! I think we'll wait for the surprise. I sure hope it's a boy so I have someone to play in my sandbox with me that Gpa Sherck is building me!

This weekend we're headed for the MINNESOTA STATE FAIR! I'm sooo eating a funnel cake, cheese curds, a corn dog, snickers on a stick, watermelon and corn on the cob! I can't wait!!

My life is about to change...a GROWING family!

News flash! I'm going to be a big brother!! This picture was taken over a month ago and I'm sure the baby has grown much more in Mama's belly! We are so very excited and very blessed to have a new peanut Sherck on the way with a due date of March 2nd but will most likely be induced late February. The doctor doesn't want Mom to have the baby in the car:) Please pray for a healthy baby and great continuation of the pregnancy!

Carrie's 6K

We had a great weekend celebrating the life of Carrie Lorman who was brought to heaven last December. Carrie took care of me when I was little - her memory lives on and they had the first annual Carrie On 6K race and it was awesome. They had over 400 people that attended the event...some of my favorite pictures are attached!

We all let go of pink balloons in Carrie's memory. I know that they've reached her by now...all of the balloons had messages to her!

Here is Shelli with Carrie's daughter, my friend Brooklynn....she was exhausted from the busy morning!

I was in a, what I called it...a "run race"

Here was the kiddie run called Brooklynn's Brigade. I didn't win. To be honest, I didn't even finish the course. Ha.

BUT....I was a racer and I even got my own number.

Here's me and Mom before my race, she even made me stretch n' all.

Thanks to everyone that have supported our good friends the Lormans the past 9 months. We miss Carrie deeply but this past weekend was a great way to get together to celebrate Carrie's life! I can't wait until next year!!!!!!! And, next year I expect all of you to join me!!! :)

BUSTED in the Bubbles......

We got busted! Last night it was Daddy's turn to give me a bath. About ten minutes after we headed upstairs, Mom heard us giggling and laughing. She caught us in the act and grabbed her camera! We had boys time-a bath of not so much scrubbing and tons of bubbles! I think we had about 6 inches stacked and it was awesome. I'm sure this will be embarassing when I'm 15 yrs old. Ha!

Do I look like my big daddy?

Happy Friday everyone! Today was a very special, great day - Mom picked me up from daycare to take me out to lunch to meet with my GF Ainsley at Culvers! We ate corndogs, chicken sticks, fries and chocolate ice cream together. Isn't she a cutie batootie? I even looked at her and said "cute!" I found this picture of my Daddy when he was a little kid, probably my age maybe a little older. What do you think - any sort of resemblance? I know I have Mom's blue eyes and blonde hair but, we sure look like clones if you ask me!
