Santa asked me what I wanted for Christmas

Santa asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I told him that I wanted two new Remington Shotguns, a new Remington Rifle, a Polaris Sportsman, a deer stand, a duck boat, some decoys, more camo clothing, some ammo and a Buck knife. How could he say no to a sweet little hunter like me. I told my dad to make sure there was a lot of room under the tree for my presents.

My First Halloween

It has been a while since I have posted anything on my blog but I have an excuse. It's hunting season and Dad and I have been busy in the field. My grandma, Nancy bought me this pumpkin costume for Halloween.

Murray Hunting Team

Vader and I make a good hunting team!

My dad brought me on my first hunting trip last week. We shot some geese including one that was banded and Vader did his job of retrieving them. Mom is still mad at us because dad and I came home sick and Vader had a sore shoulder. Dad told me to get use to mom reacting like that when we get home from a hunting trip.

My dad promised me a new gun, a four wheeler and a puppy of my own to hunt with when I get a little older. I'm sure I can talk him into a few more things.

Picking Apples

The best time of the year has come, Fall. Fresh fruits, fresh vegetables and hunting season top the list but gorgeous weather ranks up there as well. The pictures were taken in my grandparents apple orchard. This is where we pick the apples so my grandmother (Nancy) can make me a large pan of apple crisp. If you didn't notice we are wearing our "Gopher Gear." Fall is also the start of hockey season. Like I said, this is the best time of the year.

Gotta new pair of shoes!

Proud Grandfather

The three photos are of Grandpa Cliff holding me for the first time. This was the first day we met and as you can tell, we already have a special bond. Shortly after the pictures were taken, I feel asleep and took a long nap. Grandpa Cliff held me the entire time.

Happy Guy

Do I look like my mom or dad?

My Uncles

I have four uncles that spoil me to death but I like it. This is my Uncle Doug holding me when I was two days old. I'm a lot bigger now! Doug is my Godfather and he will be at my baptism in a few weeks.
Uncle Dean is going to teach me how to fish for walleye and cook a great meal. My dad and mom tell me that Dean is a phenomenal cook. I'm still drinking milk for every meal so a good meal would be nice for a change.
My Uncle Jack is the most experienced with kids. Jack has been an uncle before and he knows how to hold me so I don't cry. I'm sure Jack could teach me how to play piano but I don't know if my mom will let me play since she hated piano lessons growing up.



Uncle Derek is not pictured at this time. He will be added to the blog at a later date. Derek was fishing for Musky when I was born so we didn't get any pictures. I like him already!

My new home!

This is my new home out in the country. Vader and I have tons of space to run and play. We get to move in at the end of the month. My mom can't wait to move in. She said her favorite thing about getting a place of our own was that she could have all my baby stuff organized. Plus, we have a guest home for friends and family to come visit.

I'm This Big!

Family and Friends,

Just so you know, I'm over ten pounds now. I eat a lot and I'm starting to sleep more at night. My parents introduced me to a bottle and I don't like it as well. I still eat from it but I would rather be snuggled up to my mom for a meal. I do like when my dad gives me a bottle because he makes all kinds of funny faces and noises to get me to smile. I saw my doctor last week and he gave me a clean bill of health. He said I was growing at a good rate. I guess I will just keep eating and smiling at my dad and mom.

Weston signing off.

Baby Weston

Hello,

I'm now over a month old and I can hold my head up and smile. I like to be held most of the time but sometimes I like to be left alone to relax in my bed. This is me relaxing. If you see me like this, Please! don't touch, I get crabby.

Best Wishes

Weston

Three Weeks Old

Proud Grand Fathers

Two proud grand-fathers spending time with me during my first week of life. Grampa Cliff will be pictured with me on Monday. My dad had some camera problems.

God Mother

My dad and mom called my aunt Julie and asked her if she would be my god-mother. She accepted without hesitation. This is a picture of my bassinet that Grampa Smith made. The bedding was made by my new god-mother.

I Love My Favorite Aunt, Julie

My Aunt Julie flew all the way from Portland, OR to be here when I was born. She waited all week for me to come and I finally showed up on Friday. She called me the "Belmont Baby," since I was born the day before the running of the Belmont. I also have to thank my aunt for setting up this blog for me. Thanks Julie....Love Weston

Going Wild with Brad and Melissa

I'm almost two weeks old and I love the NHL. Thanks to Uncle Brad and Aunt Melissa I can show off my favorite team in my car seat and stroller. Go Wild!!!!!

Piano Man

I think I inherited my Grandma Mary's "piano toes." Her toes are so long it is said that she can play piano with them. My dad has those same long toes and it looks like I have them too. Lucky for me, my grandma Nancy just happens to have a piano....move over Beethoven.

Vader

I remember the good old days when I was spoiled and an only child.

So tired

A few days in and I have already tired out my dad.

Grandmas

My grandma Nancy and my grandma Mary get to hold me for the first time. They anixously waited all afternoon. They both were watching a birthing monitor when the nurse said she thought I was being born. Grandma Nancy will teach me about farmlife and how to enjoy the beauty in gardens and birds and the things all around me. Grandma Mary will teach me about animals and tell stories and best of all she likes to shop, so I expect lots of cute clothes and toys in my future.

Diaper Change

I made my Dad proud with my second diaper change. It was around 11 pm and my dad got up to change me. The nurse heard the activity and came into check on us. She insisted on changing me to give my dad a break. She had been working there a long time and had never seen anything quite like it. I may have my moms looks, but I guess I will have "two-flushes" just like my dad.
