Just like Daddy

Steve wears sweat bands on his wrists when he plays sports. Travis now has to wear one. When ever we leave the house :) He is also wearing daddy's hat.

Mini OC trip

We spent last weekend in Ocean City, MD. I took off work on Friday and we drove down and arrived around 2. We were able to check into the hotel and then after grabbing something to eat we hit the beach. The weather was about 70 and perfect. The beach was all ours and it worked great because I did not have to worry about Travis kicking sand on other people or god forbid step on their blankets ;)

My mother and father in law met us down there with my youngest neice Kiersten. Also my friend Jen came down with her crazy 9 year old son (I say crazy because he got in the water!). We spent the weekend playing on the beach and splashing in the indoor pool. Travis became and expert at using the pool steps and then jumping off the side. It turned out to be such a relaxing weekend for me. I love the beach and could sit out there all day. Travis discovered the joy of collecting shells and chasing seagulls.

I love the shot below. Steve and Travis look like twins.

"sand box"

I get a call from Steve while I am at work yesterday telling me he wants to buy Travis a sandbox or sand table or sand and water table. He wasn't sure what he wanted. So he went to Toys R Us and called me again making me look up a bunch of different options online. I was super busy and work and just told him to pick the one he liked. He ended up just buying a small plastic pool ($5 on sale) and some sand ($10) and for $15 total this is what we got:

"Wook it sandbox"

Totally works, right?!?!! Travis told everyone on the street that he had a sandbox he was so into it.

Travis also got a new pair of Toy Story light up shoes. I don't think there is a more perfect pair of shoes for my child. He was so excited to wear them that he was walking around looking at his feet....and bumping into stuff left and right ;)

Here are some more pictures from last night. We played catch (Steve and I) for about 30 mins and let me tell you my arm is SORE!! Also please note (or ignore) the fact that my husband is wearing socks and sandals. Keepin it classy!

Running down the hill

Mid throw

So I am off work tomorrow and we are taking a mini vacation. Also we are thinking about going to the Orioles game tonight and taking Travis. Might be a bad idea but Steve assured me we can leave if Trav gets antsy.

Have a fun weekend everyone (and by everyone I mean Kristen and Kelly and maybe my mom because that is all who read this! HA!)

Sunny Days....chasing the clouds away....

The weather here is so crazy.One day it is 90 degrees the next day it is cold and rainy. Yesterday was freezing and raining. We went to Storyville at the library for about an hour last night before dinner.

Today it a little chilly but we were still able to play outside Travis had spent all day at the park with his daddy. When I got home we went to explore the backyard. Travis loves it out back. I feel kind of bad because I don't really have any fun toys out back.....but Travis really doesn't mind. He likes to run and pick 'flowers' (dandilions) and play with his best buddy Jake.

I have an old fashioned wizard of oz cellar doors in the back that need to be painted ;/ But Travis was practicing running up and down the hill.

This is my sad little garden....I am not sure what to do with it. I used to have bushes lining the back fence but the blizzard a couple of years ago really destroyed them. So we ripped them out and now I am left with this

Travis sat of Steve's bike . He thought it was so cool.

New Record

Steve and I were able to go on two dates in 3 days :) Weds night we went to the O's game. We got free birthday tickets. They can't even give the seats away there :( We had so much fun though!! Friday I had tickets to the game but it was raining and cold. We were hoping the game would be cancelled but since we had already paid for the tickets we decided to still go. We headed down to Bo Brooks for dinner. We had a great meal and a fun time talking. The game ended up being cancelled so we just went and picked up Travis. Great start to the weekend!

Momma and "Steve"

Today Travis called his dad "Steve" all day long. Sometimes he called him "Daddy Steve." The thing that I loved the most is that Travis knew that this was funny. I love the fact that he has a sense of humor. Alot of times he will say things and then say "I kidding." :)
