Caseville 2010

We had our annual Tomlinson "Christmas in July" get together in Caseville (aka.... "the BIG lake"). I got to see lots of family and my cousins, Kate, Jack and Claire. We had a great time playing in the sand, shuffleboard, and staying up way too late. Elliot loved to dig in the sand on the beach; almost as much as Daddy did. :)

Boat Ride!!!!

Happy One Month Birthday Ian!

Berrien County Fair

We went to the Berrien County Youth Fair with Grammy, Grampy, Uncle Ben, Aunt Wendy, and Wes. It was a great day for the fair! I got to pet some animals, eat some greasy fair food, and best of all.... RIDES! Daddy said that in a few years that us boys are going to have to set up a vendor booth and start guessing peoples weight to make some money to go to the fair.

Week 3

Brotherly Love

The pediatrician told Mumma at Ians 2 week check up that "no serious injuries" has occurred with a newborn and his brothers, those don't come until later in life. :) Actually I am very good with my baby brother, Elliot on the other hand, well, he still just doesn't get it.

Ian is 2 Weeks

Ian is growing like a weed! At his 2 week check up, he weighed 8.14 pounds, which places him in the 75% percentile! (Statistically, he should have just regained his birth weight of 7.12 pounds at this point.) He was still 21" long, but in the 90% percentile for height. What!? Apparently Ian hasn't gotten the message that this family only makes skinny short kids! All Mumma has to say is that he had better fit into his brothers' hand-me-downs! :) He is doing great adjusting to his new home. He is up about 3-4 times at night and eats about every 2 hours (thus the big weight gain!).

Ian is Home

Poppin' Wheelies

...yeah, that's right!!! I figured out how to do this little trick all on my own.

Happy Birthday Ian!!

Man, he finally got here!!! Ian Joseph Tomlinson was born on Sunday, July 25 at 11:12 AM. We weighed 7.12 pounds and was 21" long. He is so small, but is getting bigger each day. I just LOVE holding him and I told him that if anyone ever tries to hurt him that I would "fight them, even if they are a stranger". Mumma is doing well and I think Ian is really gonna like his new home.

Happy 4th of July 2010!!!

We had another great weekend at the lake for the 4th of July. Boy was it hot!!! But that didn't bother me and Elliot since we were in water all the time!!! We had a great time playing in the water, going for a golf cart ride, and of course watching the fireworks over the lake.

Mmmmm, spaghetti dinner!!!

A quick washdown AFTER the spaghetti dinner. :)

Pop!!! My favorite!!!! What kinda holiday would it be without pop?

Mumma and Aunt Wendy bought us these tshirts without even knowing! Pretty funny, huh.

Little Athlete

Okay, so I'm no Michael Phelps, but I am doing pretty good in my private swimming lessons. I'm a bit on well, let's say the reserved side when it comes to jumping and diving in the pool, but once I do (very gingerly) get in I am a pretty good swimmer. My teacher Oscar said soon I shouldn't need any "extra help" (aka floatation device) to help me swim.

This is my lacrosse class that I take at the Y. I'm actually pretty good - or so says my teacher, Coach Don.

Here I am at goalie - I'm an excellent goalie when I am actually watching MY game instead of the old farts playing pickleball on the court next to me. :)

Face off! Here I am with my cat-like reflexes.... Well, not really, actually I was a bit slow on the draw and lost all of my face offs!

Happy Father's Day

Mumma thought a good Father's Day present for Daddy would be a remote control helicopter.... wrong...that was a great present for ME! I love to fly this thing. We had a great Father's Day with Daddy - but would you expect any different since we have such a great Father? :)

Kalamazoo Klassic Kids Run 2010

I had my third "race" of the season - the Kalamazoo Klassic. It's a 1K race, but don't think that it's easy, cuz the hills on the course are killer!! Daddy ran with me and I also met up with my BFF Mason and his sister Lily. Daddy calls me a "digital runner" - I'm either on or off! As usual, Elliot and Mumma were at the finish line cheering me on!

Penny Pinchers..

Mumma and Daddy thought they could save a few more bucks and start giving me and Elliot haircuts at home. Well, actually, if you recall from Elliots first haircut post, he really wasn't all that crazy about having his haircut, so I guess they thought they would give it a try to see if he liked it any better. Apparently, they thought they would get their moneys' worth too and just pretty much shave this head! :) Actually, I will admit, they did do a pretty good job, given their client that is....

Healthy Kids Run 2010

You all know how much I love to run in races...and this race was my second of the season. It was 1.55 miles and Daddy ran with me. He said I am a "digital runner" - either run like crazy or stop. ....whatever. I had a great time and Mumma and Elliot were at the finish line cheering me on. I have another 1K race on June 18 that is super sweet cuz I get to run with the WMU football players.
