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.
