Random photo fun

Well, I had surgery... so cut me some slack.  I didn't take many pics.. and I didn't take ANY quality. Sorry mom, guess you'll have to wait for October to have a new Facebook photo!  Enjoy some of the things we DID do.

Ya Ya Tracy sends fun St. Patty's Day treats!!


We shop til we drop and along the way

GO SU!!!


Lil' man gets a new do!


Then we had dinner with the G-Ma's
YUMMY Outback!


Then last night Connie came over to visit and have dinner... there was much fun to be had!!




My boy even drew his Daddy wake boarding... maybe surfing..

regardless, he knows his Daddy well!


Then... right before dinner arrived... he found the powdered sugar!


During bath time... Tristan started showing me his letters he knew in sign language..

I said "Oh - go show Aunt Connie!!  She totally knows sign language!"

He ran out "Aunt Connie, Aunt Connie!!"

I hear her delight that he can do it... and then I said

"Have Aunt Connie say a sentence"

"Say I love my Grandma"

(Connie then teaches him)

"Do your hand on your chin, then this.  Do three bumps out.... now do..."

T screams "Oh my gosh Aunt Connie, this is JUST like Rock, Paper, Scissors!"

best line of the night.

Gotta love this kid!!

Thank you for everything Mom.  I could NOT have survived my surgery without you!!!!

Baseball fever

Today was the first day T REALLY showed interest in baseball...

So, we packed up our stuff and headed over to the park!!!

Daddy knocked a few out of the park...





Yes, Gramma was batting AND playing in the field!



He learned to field a little today... gotta work in his stance!


in the end... Gramma takes T out!

Fun day with the Mays

Well, I can't do much ... so I thought at least I could do is take T and my mom to a park.  There is a cool park near my old house... so we jumped in the car and met the Mays there.  Uh oh.......... the are completely rehabbing it....

Closest park I could think of... my old neighborhood by Bebah and Grandpa!

Turned out to be a perfect day!!


Bebah saved the day and brought a loaf of bread... the kids LOVED it!!


Lots of cute little photo ops


Then when it was time to go... Grayson, Cullen and T helped Bebah up the big hill.


The of course, they couldn't forget Grandma!

(Tay sportin' her NY shirt = LOVE!!)


Little cuties!  And, a great afternoon!!

cutest plumber ever!
