A Busy Weekend...

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure

Saturday 29, 2007

Mama, Papa, and me.

Ms. Marissa and I

Later that night, we went to our yearly neighborhood get-together. We grilled out and had a potluck. (I finished eating whatever Marissa didn't)

Luckily, she didn't seem to mind.

Hanging out with my Papa!

On Sunday, I went to the park with mama and mimi.

We came home and I had a little bit of exploring to do...just a little bit further.

I am king of the mountain!

And last but not least, I put the finishing touches on my Lego masterpiece before bed.

Here's the latest....

Marissa and I checking our voicemails...

At Mimi and Grandpa's while mama and papa are in Hawaii.

Grandpa and I came out dressed as twins!

No pillow is safe anymore!

Eating my cereal like a big boy at Mimi's

Home sweet home!

Eating pretzels in mama and papa's bed...

Watchin' Teletubbies

Mama and Papa said that they missed me......what do you think? Oh well, I had fun. Gotta' go train for my big 5K at the end of the month. Please visit our website at: www.firstgiving.com/wickstrom

Amelia's here!

My mama and papa are godparents to Amelia Rosabella Todish who was born on July 5, 2007. So, I guess since Tim and Rachel are my godparents, and they are hers, we must be related or something.

4th of July!

Started my holiday off up at Mimi and Grandpa's condo in Cadillac. I ran around the pond and got to meet my Uncle Ron visiting from Colorado!

Then we ended with a bang at the Todish home. Uncle Tim, Papa, and Mama lit fireworks in the driveway and Carrie, Rowan, and Aunt Rachel (with Amelia in her tummy) watched safely at the end. Happy 4th!

Fun with Rowan!

Today we went to Frederick Meijer Gardens for an afternoon out with my godmother Rachel, and Rowan. We played with the boats in the water and had a blast!

My best friend...

I love my Mookie!

Playtime

Yummy!

Today I used a fork to eat my spaghetti...I'm still faster using my hands, but it's a start! Yum!

More Fun!!!

My first bike ride in the burley cart. I had a pretty good time as long as my helmet stayed where it was supposed to ... on the bumps it would sometimes fall down over my eyes (not fun).

I put my sunglasses on all by myself ... so they're on backwards, oh well :)

I love pushing my dump truck all over ... Thank you Tony, Patti, and Marissa!

I'm having so much fun with my sprinkler I got from Brent and Laura for my birthday. I love trying to grab the little mouse in the middle (and getting soaked in the process!) It's been refreshing with the hot days we've been having.

Back from the U.P.

Over Memorial Day weekend, we went up the da' U.P. for Daddy's 10+1 year high school reunion. I got to swim in the pool and spend time with Auntie Chell and P.J. On Sunday, Grandma and Grandpa Wickstrom came over for the day to visit. I had a lot of fun climbing up the stairs, riding up and down in the elevator, and I got to have "Riverside Pizza" for the 1st time ... YUMMY!

More pictures....

Grandma and Grandpa Wickstrom came up from Florida to see me on my special day...then back up to the U.P. for the summer.

Grandpa loved geting my belly!

Auntie Chell (Michelle) loved spending time with us too!

Here I am at my neighbors "going-away" barbecue. I loved playing with their lawnmower and we are going to miss the Lewis family greatly :(

Here I am at Mimi and Grandpa's house composing my first concerto.

Things are settling down after the big week of the birthday bash. I had my one year check-up and I weighed 24 lbs and was 30 and 1/2 inches long. I'm still in the 75th percentile for both height and weight, but I am slowing down now that I am walking and moving around. I started taking my first steps right before we traveled to Wisconsin to visit friends in Sheboygan, Todd, Tina, James, and baby Caden and then up to Park Falls to stay with Uncle Paul, Auntie Chell, and P.J. for a few days. I am now toddling all over and love spending time outside. We are going up north over Memorial Day for Papa's class reunion and so I'll get to see Grandma and Grandpa Wickstrom and Auntie Chell, Uncle Paul, and P.J. again. I can't wait...I'll get to have my first U.P. sauna! I'm waving "bye-bye" right now to you all! XOXO, Joshua

I'm 1!!! Look out!!!!!!!!!

My 1st Birthday party was so much fun! We had it on my actual birthday (Sunday) and the weather was nice and sunny out! We had about 38 people here to help celebrate and I got some new books, clothes, and toys, toys, toys! I loved my cake and I was so glad that everyone could be here with me...thank you! :)
