Hangin' with our Homies on a beautiful weekend

Summertime is HERE! I know, I know. We are lazy boys.  So so lazy about updating our blog because we've been buys partying outside cuz the weather has been BEAUTIFUL! We love playing outside and being able to be outside with our friends.  Last weekend, going into Friday we had hardly any plans for the weekend.  This doesn't typically happen to the Sherck household.  What did Bennett and I do? Well, we made plans.

• Friday night - we invited all of our friends over for chicken enchiladas (well, we call them cheeeeken enshila-the's)
• Saturday: We went shopping and bought a new patio set for the deck. It's really cool and comfy. I already dropped ketchup on one of the cushions.
• Saturday night: Jenny came to babysit, we went to another pizza party while Mama & Dad went out on their fancy anniversary date to Pittsburgh Blue for steak and wine. They said it was delicious.  We call our parents the "carnivore couple" Ha. It must have been special because Mom wore her black strappy sandals.
• Sunday: We hadn't had enough so we rigged up the boat and headed for BIG LAKE with our friends.  Pictures are below - enjoy!

 Love, Bennett & Brady

A Sign of Summer

A note from Mom today....
I've been finding these little dirty socks all around the house the past week...I think summer is here! I start to act like I'm mad, but it truly makes me smile inside. I love cleaning Brady's dirty socks and his dirty hands because he's been digging in the flower pot.  I don't tell him that this makes me happy - but it makes us smile every time because we know he's having a blast.

Because I'm obviously fascinated with our boys - wanted to keep sharing some fun pictures. They are SOO FUNNY!

Dad: "Brady close the bleepin' door!"

Memorial Day 2011 @ the Lake!

Ernie's on Gull Lake

 

We're back from a great LONG weekend at the cabin!  Mom, Bennett & I headed to the cabin Thursday night, had some fun with Gma Sherck & Aunt Pat until Friday around lunch time. Daddy came home from Canada on Saturday and we had an awesome time spending the rest of the weekend together as a family.

We really are lucky to have a place like Gma & Gpa Sherck's cabin to spend time away from home.  It has been so dang freezing all of the time we've been up there lately. Bennett and I want to go swimming!!  I even bough a new pair of snazzy swim trunks to show off with all of the ladies "little girls" up at the lake.

Busy week ahead of us and a weekend AT HOME (for once!)  Whooppee!
Love, Brades & Bennett

The start of summer? I THINK SO!



Bennett 14 weeks

This is a night in my bunk room at the cabin. I love the bunk room - and I sleep so great, especially with big rain & thunderstorms at night.



Reading books with Dad in the dark.

 

Here's me with daddy...with the flash. Cute, huh?




Playing with my main bro. He's getting so big, he looks like he's going to EAT ME.



FIsh on!

Tomato Sirens

A note from me, Brady.

Daddy left early on Saturday for his annual trip up to Canada for his fly-in fishing trip with Gpa and Cousin Mark. We had all weekend to play outside but NOOO, the weather was horrible!  These super loud horns kept going off over and over again.  Because we were so scared and crying, Mom said we had to go in the basement to be safe.  We talked about the tornado sirens, about why it was important to be in the basement but, I looked at Mom and said "well, tell the tomato to go away!!!!"  She said if she had the masterwoman powers she would have.

We stayed inside a lot this weekend and were a little cooped up.  Mom was trying to get pictures of me & Bennett together which is a challenge because we're both on the moooove!  A couple pic examples below...not easy, I guess to get a good picture. Right, Mommy?

Take 1



Take 2

Here is a picture of us hanging together in the basement when all of the bad storms were passing. I was taking care of Bennett while Mom was drinking her glass of wine.

Brothers

I was bored as heck this weekend, so Mom and I did a lot of PRETENDING.  We played house and I was the princess, Bennett was the puppy and Mom was the Daddy.  Mom said it's not too cool for me to be the princess but I don't get what the big deal is...in the pic below, we were preending to be camping/fishing.  I caught a green block on the fishing pole and wouldn't have seen it unless I had my headlamp.


Typical Brady

 Last Friday before Dad left on his trip, I saw Daddy give Mom a huge, big, passionate kiss!  I asked Mom "Mom, can I try that?"  She responded to me that I couldn't. Hmmm. Wonder why not?!?

I've also gotten in a little bit of trouble lately.  Because I'm talking like a 5 yr old, I'm starting to say some things that are a little naughty such as "you're stupid" & "you have a fat head."  Mommy & Daddy have been getting very angry at me when I say these things but I don't think I quite understand why I can't say them, but I know I need to stop it because I've been seeing smoke come out of Mama's ears.  Also...I've been much more picky at the dinner table at night as well and will often say "Mom, I don't like X (potatoes), X (potatoes) will make you sick"

Oh boy. I'll learn someday.

My first day of school - I love Shelli (so far)

Yesterday was my first day at daycare!  Brady has been telling me all the things we do at Shelli's house like "we eat fish sticks, play outside and eat cereal"   I found out yesterday, he was right! I spent the day just taking it all in: Curious kids in my face,  I met little puppy Bailey, played outside, napped, drank bottles and went in Shelli's swing (that I love much more than the one at my house)  I figure the routine of school may not be too bad...

Shelli, are you always this nice?  Shelli told Mom yesterday that I did a great job for my first day...but Mom is convinced she was lying through her teeth!  (The exact reason we love Shelli - I don't think Momma wants to know the truth:)

Later,
Bennett

My First Fishing Opener on Gull Lake - 2011

Hey all, it's me B-man.

Last weekend was fishing opener and my Dad took me fishing on the boat! It was a blast - so much fun that I completely skipped my nap on Sunday. I sure slept well Sunday night...

I've posted a few of my favorite pictures. Thanks Daddy for teaching me the right spots, how to "watch the bobber" and "feed the fish snakes" well, thats what I call worms.  I had so much fun.  On the drive home, Mom asked me if I was hungry and if I wanted to stop to eat dinner.  I looked at her with a sad face and said "I don't want to eat, I want to go fishing"

Dad - I cant wait for the years to come!

Fish on!

I like fishing but I really didn't want to touch the Shark fish (walleye)

12 weeks old tomorrow and school on Monday:(
