Our Summer Vacay July 11th-July 18th 2009

On the play ground.

Pretty boys curls. I really have to give him a good haircut soon...I just cant bring myslef to do it yet :(

This is the pirate ship at the Inlet public beach/play area. The kids loved it! One day when Mike and Vinney went 4 wheeling for the day (not in the ADK) April and I took Michael and Antonio there. They had fun. It was pretty windy but nice other than that.

We were going to try and do Bub and Sis lakes one day but it was way too muddy. (It rained pretty much everyday we were up there)

Vince and Mike "attempting" to kyack. It was the best thing ever to watch!
Mike flipped over 3x from laughing so hard :)

Green Lakes

This is what happens when we have to leave :(

We buried Michaels legs...he loved it and will sit for Mike or I to do it everytime.

The first few trips to the beach Michael tried to eat the sand and then when he realized he didnt like use the same sand covered hand to wipe it out of his mouth. It only took a few trys to figure out he doesnt like the taste of sand very much.

Grammy got to come with us on this trip!

Michael pretty much loves going to the beach. I think he would spend most of the day there and not give us much hassel. This was a trip to our favorite Green Lakes. We go there about 5-6x a month, to walk, play and swim. We usually walk around the lake right when we get there and then let Michael play for a while on the beach. Pretty soon the new swingset/play area will be finished, and he can play on that. Sometimes he will just stand there watching everyone walk by, or playing (he's a people watcher).

Bedtime fun...

Playing with dad in his toy room...WAY past bedtime.

Summer Fun :)

These were taken in our front yard on the first really warm day we had this summer (I think it was late April early May). Michael is playing in his beloved frog pool!

Happy Birthday!

Sorry in the dealy for this post! April 8th my boy turned one. It was quite a mix of emotions..

They all tell you "ohhh that first year"..It is the some of the hardest times you will have (but also some of the best). I kept thinking ok just get through that year...well I am through it and I wanna do it all over again.

I wanna do that first smile, first coo, first trip to the emergency room, first time rolling over and crawling...all of it. The good, the bad and the ugly. It went way too fast.

But here we are a year later and going strong! He had a pretty good day I think he would tell you. We went to gym class and swimming at the Y, had dinner and cake at the grandparents house and got some new toys..and more festivities to come on Sunday.

Well now here we go into year two ;)
