What Little Boys are Made of......

Sticks and stones? Not my boys :)

Science @ Its Best

Here is video of a science experiment Jackson has been wanting to do for a while now. Sorry about the blurriness of the video - you still get the idea!

Finally, a Post!

It's been a little busy around here lately (as evidenced by the 678 photos we've taken in 1 month) so my posts haven't been, well, existent! Here are a few photos to let you know what we've been up to over the past month:

Jeremy turned 35 - here is his awesome cake (thanks Linda):

We've been to (and survived)Lakemont Park and Chuck E Cheese's:

(Jackson went on the BIG roller coaster @ Lakemont - pretty big deal for a little guy)

(The boys @ Chuck E Cheese's - lots of tickets won!)

We've been swimming (because summer is finally here - just in time for school to start:)

(This picture was at the Cresson Pool)

(The bottom 3 photos were from a recent visit to our good friends the Foley-DeFiore's, who recently moved to a great neighborhood in State College. They live about 2 blocks from a new community pool that was just awesome - it had something for everyone. I was afraid the boys would never want to leave)

Kennywood

Monday was our Kennywood trip - I love that park. We had such a great time. We met my parents in the parking lot and then met up with my friend, Kerri and her gang. It was fun to travel in a group - everyone was so agreeable!

Jackson's highlights included the Log Jammer and the Racer (I think it used to be called the Red Racer way back in the day and so I still refer to it as that). Jude managed to squeeze in a nap (never in a million years did I think he would nap in his stroller at a park), so we got to stay longer which made everyone happy! I'm guessing Jeremy's highlight was the BMX show. My highlight was riding the Racer with Jackson and the Kangaroo with Jude! We all had a wonderful time!

Let's have a parade

Yesterday was the big firemen's parade in Loretto! Not only did we watch the parade (and video tape it), but we got there early and walked through the parking lot where all the vehicles lined up for the parade! The boys loved it (and so did I:). We're looking forward to another big parade in Ashville next week during the county convention! Lots more video and lots more photos!

Just some cute photos of the boys

Just some recent photos of the boys!

Updates

I know it's been a while since I've posted, but I just took the opportunity to download photos from the camera, so this will be a longer post!

This is a photo from Jude's Birthday party - from LAST weekend, not this past weekend (boy it has been a while since I posted). Thanks to Grammy Linda for the awesome cake - Jude is still talking about it!

Shortly after Jude's party, I decided that I was going to pull out my card-making supplies and make 100 cards...........it took me a week, but I did it! This is me and my big mess of supplies. You might be wondering, "How did you keep Jude away from all of that?" Well, I didn't. Many of my supplies ended up in the lettuce garden outside the windows you see behind me in the picture!

OMG - had to share this one because it is so sweet!

The boys got haircuts - doesn't Jackson look so grown up?

We did DelGrosso's Park yesterday! The kids had a blast - I will post more photos of our trip in another post!
