We went to Mirror Lake today in Devons, (right near mom & dad's stomping ground before they moved to Lowell, also the same park where Dad proposed to mom so she said she was enjoying reminiscing.)
So today at the beach we had a blast.
Adley holds his breath and walks underwater under the buoys (he learned it from his friends who swim under the buoys. ) Mom will need to buy this boy some swim goggles now...
Nathanael thinks he can swim too. He sits in the water up to his neck, and he loves to plunge forward and works hard to keep his head up. (He does a good job, it's crazy.) He walks very well in the water now, and pretty fast. He wants to be deep like his brother (of course.)
So that's our fish report. We Love the water.
And Adley's latest fascination is Transformers. He was looking through the Halloween cosutme catologs and he saw the transformer ones (which don't come in small 4T size, mom checked) so all he talks about is Transformers. Now when we are driving he tells mom which trucks are transformers. He's never seen the movie or the cartoons, but maybe that's something mom should look into.
Adley might be Spider Man for Halloween, but that's not a sure thing.
Love you guys!
Adley & Nathanael

Our Dr's visits
So today we went to the Dr, Adley for his 3 year and Nathanael for his 15 month.
So Adley is 39 inches long in the 85 percentile and 35.2 lbs in the 80th percentile. The fun little height predictor on babycenter.com still has Adley being 6 ft 1 inch at 18. Adley is in top form, everything checks out.
So Nathanel was 33 inches long in the 90th percentile (Adley was 32 1/2) and 25 lbs 13oz in the 65th percentile (Adley was 26lbs 6oz). Poor Nathanael has an ear infection (mom had no idea....he did have a bit of a cold.) Nathanel got 3 shots. OUCH!
Then both boys had to go get a finger prick and neither of them made a sound they were so fascinated by the blood filling the tube, they are champs. Nathanael needed another one because he was slightly anemic last time, and Adley was routine. (Also poor Adley when he turns 4 will need 4 shots.....)
The boys were sooooo good so we went to McDonalds for lunch and they both had Happy Meals (and they ate the whole thing...mom just helped a little with some fries....They were hungry from such a busy morning.)
Time for a snooze, so we can rock out the rest of the day!

Birthday Weekend
I had a fabulous Birthday weekend, (and the fun isn't even all done yet.) I went to the park with my friends in the morning and had a blast. That night I had cake with mom and dad. On Saturday I went to another park to play with Grandma and cousin Jayden. There's lots of pictures to add, but here are a few photo's for you guys.
Thanks for all the Birthday wishes.

Vacation Bible School
Oh what a week, I had a blast in the frog group. Most of my friends from church were in my group too, and my Sunday school teacher was in charge. It was a little hard leaving mom on the first day, but once she was out of site I was having a blast. I made all kinds of artsy things that I explained to mom and dad when I got home. Talking about all the cool letters I glued to my fish. I even sang in front of everyone at church Sunday morning. Well really I was looking around checking out my friends. But at home I shake one fist in the air and sing "Son Rock Kids Camp!" I'm already asking to do it again. This year was a camp theme, next year is Rain Forest...how fun.
Can you believe I'm going to be 3 this Friday! Mom asked me what kind of cake I want, and I had a few choices but I picked Thomas Train...good luck with that cake mom. Maybe she won't go 3-D on it...that would be crazy.
There are just a few new photos from our latest Beach adventure. There were lots of rocks for climbing and my buddies are climbing, chatting with me there.
OK over and out!

The Boys
Updates:
Nathanael: Just cut his 4 molars all at once. So after the 4th of July until mid last week the poor boy has been waking up once or twice a night. So thankfully for mommy too, he's back to sleeping soundly. He doesn't mess around when it comes to teeth. He loves to look for his brother, he wants to do everything he does. He copies his motions too. If Adley makes a crazy face, he'll try to do it too. He gives the best totally open mouth kisses, and hugs his stuffed animals sooo tight he's a love bug. He enjoys flipping through his books, and knocking down whatever brother builds. He loves to put things in things still. So fun.
Adley: Is getting so big. He LOVES to jump on tramolines or off anything. He's a potty training champ. He's a good reader of some of his fav books. He's going to his first vacation bible school in a couple weeks. He'll be 3 in Aug....crazy. If you're looking to buy him something he will soon to be in size 4 shirts, and probably 4 pants, he's wearing 9 shoes but is alright for shoes right now. Maybe some cool dress up items like helmets, swords, shields, capes...He likes search a word and is getting into super easy mazes. He loves bubbles and balls, maybe an indoor basket ball hop for his room.
So enjoy the new photos coming up soon!
The boys!
Also the new video's will be listed where you see the photo's in an album called Web Video's

Our Vacation!
Our Trip to Schroon Lake NY!!
We left in our car late on the 30th, and arrived at Uncle Ben’s and Auntie Bee’s in time to go to bed. Day 1 We were close enough to the town center at their house that we biked to the park and the beach. We did the park in the morning and the beach in the afternoon. These little boys are fishes. Day 2 was an early morning, up at 6am, we were dressed and at the park by 8am. Grandma arrived that morning, it got a bit drizzly out but we went for a hike up Severance Mountain, 1.2 miles and a sweet view. Adley hiked up half of it, he’s a trouper. Daddy held him the rest of the way. Day 3 we went to the Caves, There was a huge cave and some little ones to explore. That afternoon we hung out at the house and played. That evening we cooked smores in the fire pit out back. Adley loved to cook them but was not as excited to eat them. Especially when they were all black. Nathanael had marshmallow all over his face, and got upset when it was sticking his shirt to his chin. Day 4 was the 4th of July, we went to the park in the morning, then home for a bit. That afternoon we had the church chicken lunch in the park and Adley bounced all afternoon on the 4 bounce toys they had set up. There was a band we could hear in the distance. The parade at 6pm Adley collected lots of candy – there was a lot thrown, he was psyked. Then home to have a junk food dinner and out on the boat to watch the fireworks on the lake. A late night for the boys. Day 5 We went to church in the morning, what a nice service, the boys loved playing in nursery. Then to Pitkins for lunch. Yum! The Warren County Bike Path in Lake George. What a nice ride, we did 5 miles and stopped for some fun photos with the largest Uncle Sam. There were even stops with important battles that happened near the path. After the ride we went to millionaire beach. The boys swam and played in the sand. For dinner we had pizza at the house and after went for ice cream at Stewarts. YUM. Then Adley found a friend to run around with in the park. Day 6 we did the park in the AM, then to Fort William Henry in the afternoon. The boys got to dress up as red coats, and there was cannon fire and rifle fire. Adley got in the stocks and wanted to know where the hole for his head was. That night we got to play fun games on the table. Day 7 We packed up a bit, and hung out at the house because it was rainy, we tried to decide what to do for the day, but the sun came out just after lunch so we biked to the park and swam at the beach. Then the thunder clouds rolled in and we booked it home. We drove down to the Delaney’s and had a fun supper with them and the kids had tons of fun. What a fun vacation.
