{Picnic at Bidwell}

Wesley had his first picnic yesterday with Grandpa & Grandma Struve. We had a lot of fun with them. We got sandwiches from Great Harvest & went over to the park. It was a beautiful day & it didn't feel like January at all....more like the spring but I'm not complaining!!Picture of the day!!

Where's Wesley.....we play that game sometimes until someone starts to cry!!

Wesley LOVES the camera

Thanks Grandpa & Grandma for coming to visit us for the day...we had a lot of fun & we can't wait to see Grandma next month when she comes down to visit!!!

{Disneyland}

For New Year's, Patrick's Mom & Dad took us to Disneyland. We went to the park 3 days & were able to do a lot. Wesley was such a trooper & was really good for us in the park & also on the trip there & back. We had a lot of fun & I can't wait to take Wesley back next year with my family. Brandi, Adam, Bryant & Charlize

The whole family...

The 3 cousins: Charlize {2 1/2 months}, Bryant {4 1/2} & Wesley {5 1/2 months}...

It's a Small World After All......

Wesley's 1st jungle cruise...he loved it.

Beautiful castle with all the Christmas lights...

My sister Melissa & her cute little family were able to meet us in the park the last day that we were there. We rode Pirates of the Caribbean, The Haunted House & It's a Small World. We wanted to do rides that everyone could do. Thanks for coming guys!!

POOR BOY: Welsey wore his cousin's girl tights because he kicked off one of his socks in the park. This was the next best thing....we didn't want his feet to get cold. Patrick didn't like the girl tights so much!!

Wesley's cousin Bryant making him laugh in the hotel room..

This is what Disneyland does to Wesley...I should take him there more often!!

2008 Struve Christmas

Wesley had a good 1st Christmas. We were excited to wake up Christmas morning & it was snowing. We had fun with my family.

My dad, Annikka & Nathan..{my niece & nephew}

Wesley loves to put things in his mouth no matter what it is...sorry little Annikka!!

Did I mention that he loves to lick things also?!?!

Did I also mention that Welsey doesn't stop moving & he loves to fling his arms around!!!

It is so hard trying to get everyone's attention...the 3 cousins on Christmas morning.

My brother Michael & Nathan.

This is one of Wesley's presents we gave him... a rainforest jumperoo. He loves it so much so it was a good pick on Santa's part. Little Annikka fell asleep in it.

Wesley's presents from Santa....he got more then mom & dad!!

My car on Christmas morning...I miss the snow so much.
