Back Strokin' Mach-een!

Like an Old Pair Of Socks

I went to Mom's old office with her for lunch today.  We got to see old friends, who I didn't totally remember, and to meet a new one.  The cute baby up there is Neve, she's mom's friend's new baby.  She's very sweet and very cute!  She didn't even cry once!  It was great to see all of the people that Mom used to work with, and I loved playing office with all of their equipment.  Especially using the copy machine, and sitting in the big chairs behind the big desks.  

I know I haven't updated in awhile, but as you can tell from the photo above, some things still haven't changed.  I still don't like having my picture taken, and I still have a touch of the shys.  Mr. Gunkelman wanted a picture with Neve and me, and this was the best I could do.  I hope to grow out of this, once I hit my fives.

I love being free, it's the best way to be,

Throw Me!

I mean, is there really anything better than being thrown in the air by your daddy into a pool?  I could do this ALL DAY!

Henry's Was Gross, While Joey's was Close!

Here's a shot of Joey and I at the Turtle Races in Nisswa, MN.  It was actually really fun, and funny, until it was my turn to go up there.  I had a little bought with my shyness again, but I think next year....WATCH OUT!!

I see the light,

Swimming Up North on Vacation

Just got back from the annual Erlenbusch vacation up north in Brainerd, MN.  As usual we had a great time!  I have a few pics and a few videos to share.  Thought I'd start with this one.  Mom got the giggles at this one as it looks like I am just running out of cement to run on as I run into the pool.  Also, I like to show off my swimming skillz.  Dig it.

He's so bright, his father calls him son,

Swimming Lessons - Session Little 3!

Henry just started his second session of swimming lessons last week!  He's doing so well and we're so proud!  I thought I'd share a couple of videos to get you up to date on his progress!  He even graduated from a "Little 2" to a "Little 3"!  His dad had tears in his eyes he was so proud!

My First Twins Game (New Stadium)

Yesterday I went to my first Twins game in the new stadium, Target Field.  We had a great time and Mom let me bring my friend Ethan to the game with us!  We sat one row behind the dugout and got to see all the players up close.  I even saw my favorite, Nick Punto.  But I call him Nicki because I have a good vibe with him.  Ethan even caught a baseball thrown to him by Miguel Cabreras of the Detroit Tigers.  How cool is that?  We had the best time, nothing like a day out at the ballpark!

Swimming Lessons Day 3

Yesterday was my third swimming lesson, and things are really starting to come around.  I got right in the pool with no problems, and I'm really starting to have fun.  I am good at moving my arms, and I'm good at kicking, but I can't seem to do both at the same time.  I'm workin' on it though.  Mom said she had the same trouble, I guess its hereditary.  Enjoy!

The real McCoy,

Swimming Lesson Day 2

Things went better at swimming lessons today.  I really like it, and Mom said she's so proud of me!  I thought I'd share a few videos of me showing off my skills...

First Day Of Swimming Lessons...a Little Touch and Go

This was me at the beginning of the lesson.  Mom was slightly freaking (inside).  Visions of last year's gymnastic lessons dancing in her head.

This is my teacher and the other kids in my class.  In the water, learning, and having fun.   

Then something happened.  A really good teacher grabbed me and took me in the water and made me feel comfortable....and that's me up there...on my back... SWIMMING!!!  Next week Mom said she'd bring the video camera and get some real action shots!  I just love swimming!

Independent as a hog on ice,

Cute Cousin Kyle

A few weeks ago, my cousin Jerid (shown left) and his beautiful wife Ashley came to town for a visit.  Then my cute cousin Kyle and my drummer cousin Casey came over too!  We played horsies, and watched football, and ate tacos.  It was great!  If you'd like to read more about it, check out Cute Cousin Kyle's new blog.  It should be a good one to check out from time to time.  Kyle is quite funny and always has an interesting take on life.
