Boise Trip July 2008

I've been meaning to post. These are some pages that I just finnished from out trip out to Boise ID this past summer. As you can see we had a great time. There were a couple of first in there: Zachary's 1st b-day and Adam's first river raft trip and 1st movie in a theater.

Adam is potty trained!!!!!! Oh, the battles that have been faught over this. We finnally have success. I owe our triumph to 3DayPottyTraining.com The author of this e-book has the magical formula to potty train any child.

Edward Cullen's Hair vs. Adam Engstrom

Adam woke up with the greatest hair ever and it reminded me of Edward Cullen's hair. When I put the pictures next to each other I was surprised by the similarities.

Ferry Ride

We went on a ferry ride to Ellis and Liberty Islands and that would have been enough for Adam but then we got off... Major melt downs. You can tell by the pictures that we had a good time. Ha ha. No, we really did have a good time it was just very dramatic.

Halloween!!!

If you can't tell Zachary is a spider and Adam is Spiderman. We got some friends to come over and go with us. The older boys had a great time running form house to house with each other and inbetween houses throwing webs. Zachary loved the candy!

Adam was all spiderman out. He was so stoked that he got to ware his costume to school. He come home with a huge bag of goodies and lots of stories to tell me. I love pre-school. I sometimes think that we should have put him in for three days a week instead of two.

Grandma E is in town take II

So to finnish up on Grandma E's visit. She made us cinnamon rolls which were the best I have ever had. The boys absolutly loved them. I love Adam's faces in these pictures. He looks like he is in a place of pure bliss. Adam really likes to blow out candles (I think that he just likes the fire) so we made it a party. We sang a little song about Grandma and blew out candles. There's always something to celebrate.

The following day we went to Sandy Hook (most Northern NJ shore). The view was great. You can see NYC and a lot of the burrows. There is a light house, old WWII guns and the beaches are nature reserved (BEEEautifull). We went to gunnisen beach. Oopps! It is a nude beach. Yes, we got a show and it was horrible. Zachary had a great time playing in the sand. I think the shore is one of his most favorite places to go.
