Sticky situations.

The boys really started to enjoy crawling under this chair and then getting stuck behind it.  I think they learned that when they got stuck and cried, their mommy would come over and pick them  up.  Mommy stopped this game by pulling the chair away from the wall.  Now they just hide behind it and play peek-a-boo with each other.

Papa and Nana - Nana = just Papa

Nana wouldn't get in the picture because she felt her hair was looking a little flat :)

First haircuts

The boys really needed to see their Uncle Todd, so we stopped in DC for a bit on our way home.  While we were there, the boys stole two of Oliver's toys, which we will be returning to him over Labor Day weekend, and got their haircut. 

We only got pictures of Liam initially getting his hair cut because it became evident very quickly that this was a 4-man job (Todd, Joe and Lisa with one child getting his cutting hair; Sarah running after the other one).

How awesome is our camera?!?!  It apparently blurs out vulgar gestures... I'm guessing Todd was giving us the middle finger in this picture.  I wonder if it will beep out any curse words when we are video taping stuff?

Liam and his Godfather :)

Life at the beach... ah.

Unfortunately, we didn't bring our camera down until the last day at the beach, so we don't have any pictures of Annie and Jonathon or Ali and TJ :(

"Walk with me Marie."

"So Marie, are you concerned about what is going to happen to the stock market if the government doesn't raise the debt ceiling?" asked Gabe.

Happy Birthday Gabe & Liam!

Thank you for helping the boys blow out their birthday candles Oliver!

The boys were a little weirded out by the cupcakes. 

We kept trying to have them taste it, but they just wanted to touch it and smear it around. 

Wee wee weeeeeeee!

Who needs Knoebels when you have a clothes baskets?!?!

The boys at the Beach

Pain in the Grass

The video was taken at the Red, White, and Blue Ash festival on the Fourth of July. We were going to stay for a little Kenny Loggins, but Gabe just could not cope with the feel of grass on his sensitive legs.
