Perfect weather made for an all-around awesome trip to the Ballpark! (unlimited trips down the giant jump-around slide helped too) Back at work:  Ruby, the hardest-working  Grounds Crew dog in professional baseball,  is better after a foot injury. Working the System:  AC & Davis used hand waves,  good-mannered yells,  smiles, and sad faces to get autographs. Serious Work. Fun Work. Work for 5 year olds & under:  photos with mascots (according to AC) Future photo-editing work:  to photo-shop a smiling AC  into the arms of this lovable mascot  Professionals at work.  We had second row seats! Hard at work:  taking-in all the fun possible during a double header! with 2 complete trips around the Ballpark (stopping only for bobble heads, sunscreen, autographs, t-shirts, ice cream, wind-blown hats, home runs, play areas, new friends, squishy balls thrown from the dug...

-to the dining room with the Cars tent! and Davis' cousin AC spent the night!  both boys were on their very best behavior,  and had a great time!

Tuesday, Mommy and Davis journeyed to Tulsa with her friend and daughter. They're both about the same height, and had a really good time checking-out everything at the aquarium!   a lot of pretending going-on...it's fun to be a fish! Macy & Davis

WE'VE BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF TIME WITH G AND R... MOMMY REALLY ENJOYS HANGING OUT WITH MRS. E AND WE HAVE A WEEKLY GET TOGETHER. THIS WEEK IT'S BEEN TWICE, ONCE AT THE PARK AND ONCE AT OUR HOUSE! IT'S BEEN BEAUTIFUL WEATHER SO WE HAD TO GET OUT! HERE ARE SOME PICS OF OUR FUN!

We had a great time going to eat Chick Fil A with the Goss Boys and of course Miss Erin too!! Did you know that you can trade your "toy" in for Free ICE CREAM??

We had a visit with Becky and Greg yesterday! They finally made it in from Buffalo! It was too short of a visit... but we had a great time! Thanks to the Crooks for hosting!! Sam is such a funny little man!! Zoe so cute in her cooking gear!! I love that all three of the kids played so well together yesterday! It's so fun to see all their little personalities coming out...

Monday night we ventured out with the Goss boys and our new friend Jack... we had a blast riding the train out at Creekmore Park! Every day since Davis has asked me if we can go ride the train. He will love that we are going to do it at his birthday party as well!

There might be only a few good reasons for crossing over the state line into Oklahoma: family, friends, race cars, and pumpkins! We met-up with Reed & Garrett for a morning of pumpkin patch fun! Baby Reed always has a funny story to tell Davis They seem to really understand each other We went on a hay ride too! serious about pumpkins yeah, he was making a swift detour towards the mud before we wrangled him We would have liked to stay longer, but it was heating-up quickly, and Davis was tiring-out from all of the excitement and needed to take a power nap before the big game!

Thursday night we went to visit Erin, Garrett and Baby Reed (i didn't get any pics of him, but promise to next time!) I was so excited to find Erin on Facebook we were friends from 6th grade on through Jr High and High School and lost touch somewhere along the way. She lives 2 blocks from me... and has 2 of the cutest little boys! Garrett almost 4, and Reed will be a year in October! Mommy and Davis had a great time and can't wait to get together again! Davis had his first sprinkles... and insisted on eating them one at a time! You can see some are stuck to his face...

Davis was excited to hear that he was going to get to meet Mommy's friend Tracy and her son Graeme at the park! They were visiting here for the Holiday's from Germany! It's crazy to see her with a little one, just about a year ago I saw her and she wasn't even showing, now she has this adorable little man! He was such a happy boy too! Isn't that cute? Tracy and her Mom were impressed with my idea... I can't take credit for it though, it worked great, I can't recall where I saw it. I think in a parenting magazine! Graeme loved it, Davis wasn't so sure about the little man behind him. It was great to see them, but too short of a visit for us... and who can chat while chasing a two year old around the park? It's nearly impossible. We can't wait to see you guys again in April. Maybe we'll have some adult time too!

SAM ~ DAVIS ~ THOMAS Friday morning Davis and I made a trip up to NWA to our first Playgroup! It was a fun time for me and after lunch, Davis finally warmed up and relaxed enough to let go of my hair or leg. He's not used to a lot of people and noise... and it was pretty loud with 8 children in there at one time. It was great to meet all the mommies and the cute kiddos! Thanks so much Kate for including us!
