Daddy letting Storm jump in a puddle for the first time....

....and then getting picked up from falling in it!!

Storm watching intently as Michael teaches how to

write his name in PlayDough!

August 19 was Raymond Paul Attisano III's

FIRST Birthday Party! WOO HOO!!

(I can't believe he's ONE already!!)

There's the beautiful Birthday Boy!!

"Gramma! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaassssssssse

can I go in the pool???"

Aunt Michelle showin' off her baby belly!

Storm's trying to help teach the Birthday Boy how to swim!

That's my munchkin!

Raymond Paul's awesome cakes....

Those are two amazingly proud parents! And with every reason to be!

Now that's how you eat your first birthday cake!!

The boys ended a busy day with chillin' out in

Raymond's new wagon!

Happy 1st Birthday Raymond Paul!! We love you so much!!

(That boy is just TOO DARN BEAUTIFUL!!!)

August 17, we spent the day at Knoebles -

and a perfect day it was!!

My favorite attraction was the mine,

where we panned for gems.

We even got to take our treasures home!

We went on a lot of awesome rides....

Michael & Clayton's favorite ride was the Phoenix...

There they are, 4th row from the back!

Michael rode some crazy rides by himself!

This one completely rolled you upside down, like

a wheel - better you than me sweetie!!

Soaked, tired, and ready to go home -

That's what I call a day!

We went to Jersey a few weekends ago to see Mom-mom

& Pop-pop.... and of course to do some cool things too!

Michael's making sure he gets all his rest in now!

It's so great to finally be here!

Storm wastes no time getting in his "hello's!!"

The boys have certainly missed their Great Pop-pop....

and their Great Mom-mom!

We started our weekend off with a night on the

boardwalk and Fritz, the balloon clown.

He made Michael and Storm matching

balloon swords!

My guys....

Storm enjoyed his first jumbo-dog experience!

....and got to play his first boardwalk game!

Great job Storm!!!

The best way to start off a Saturday morning

is with some catching of the crabs.....

We went to Jenkinsons Aquarium and saw so

many cool animals!

And look at those great-looking guys I

got to hang out with!!

Michael loved having a horse-shoe crab

"dance" on his hand!

Stan and Clayton liked the Sharks!

The gators are my favorite!

:)

We went to the boardwalk Saturday night and the guys had a great time

going on all the rides!

Mom-mom, Pop-pop, Momma-dukes and Storm had

a surprise birthday party waiting for me when we came

home from the boardwalk! Thanks guys! I love you!

Storm, Ocean; Ocean, Storm

This is the first time Storm's been in the ocean!

The water was perfect!

The guys had a GREAT time at the beach - Clayton buried Michael

in the sand, and Storm buried himself!
