Mom and I took Davy up to North Carolina this October to experience a little mountain fall. The weather was beautiful and up in the Highlands we hit the peak season. The trees were bright with shades of fall colors: reds, yellows, and oranges. Our last morning there the temperature was in the lower 30’s and the air was crisp and clean. We had a lot of fun collecting leaves to bring back to Davy’s school for show-n-tell.

>Falling Leaves
>Corn on the Cob….Yummy!
>
So after our week long trip up to the Hampton’s for Brandie and Laurence’s wedding, we brought back some of the best and sweetest corn we had ever eaten. The lady at Southwest airlines check in looked a little confused when our bag was overweight and we opened it up to move some of the corn to another bag. Who would have thought that 12 ears of corn would weigh 12 pounds. Davy loved the corn, as you can see, it was his first time biting it off of the cob and he didn’t do so bad…..

>Petting the Sting Rays
>
Its Family Fun Day at the Tropicana stadium so we took Davy to watch a little baseball. The free gift of the day was a Devil Ray’s lunch box, the old fashioned metal kind. right now it is being put to good use with Davy’s current baseball cards. We also waited in line to feed and pet the sting rays. To feed them put the small fish between your third and fourth fingers and then lay your hand face up in the water. The rays swim over the top and gobble up the fish. Davy will get to do that at another time. He did have fun however petting the sting rays.
>Catching (Sun) Rays – Poolside with Lad and Katie
>
Davy was invited to hang out poolside on a Saturday afternoon by Lad and Katie.
As you can see the three of them were very relaxed and enjoyed the warm Florida sun.
Davy took the opportunity to learn how to kick his feet in order to move his enormous floating crab and Mom and Dad dunked him under water several times in order to get him ready for his upcoming swimming lessons. He was enamored by the water, but was very careful not to fall in or get himself in “over his head”.
Thanks for the invite LJ and Katie, Davy may be spending some more time with you poolside this summer.

>It’s Kiddie Pool Time
>
It’s a warm, beautiful day outside and nothing could be more fun than some good old fashion backyard water time. As I stood in the isle at Walmart contemplating which kiddie pool I would like to get the boys, I finally decided on agreeing with the professionals and getting the age appropriate one. It just looks so small. And in true Mama fashion, I just couldn’t get only the pool, so I bought the ring of squirting water to go around the pool for them to run back and forth through.
Davy, Michael, and Dusty had a great afternoon. I think at first they were a little confused, but it didn’t take long for them to get completely soaked, laugh and splash. Dusty enjoyed a few drinks from the pool and Michael gave Dusty a cool down while he was sun bathing.
>Mama…Mama…BOO!!!!
>
How cute is our little sweet potato??!!!… Davy loves to come into the kitchen and help me cook. As you can see, Bruce is the catch of the day. Normally, he stirs and bangs on different sizes of metal bowls with a wooden spoon but today, he found where the pots are kept and discovered that if he took them out he had a new hiding place. Every little kid loves to play Peek-a-boo, and Davy has mastered the game. He hides behind his toys, his hands, furniture and goes “Boo, boo, boo!”. You just can’t help but play along with him…. Boo Davy!!!

>Golf Fever

Andy purchased Davy his first set of Golf Clubs this weekend. Granted,the plastic set won’t allow him to hit the ball very far, not unlike his grandfather, but it will give him the opportunity to work on some fundamentals that all children learn, such as chasing the dog with the club, and wacking their mother and father in the shin with the club.
Here is an inspiring video of a two and a half year old who can already play better than most of Andy’s friends…Davy’s not quite there yet, but we’ll keep you posted on his progress.

>Look who’s walking!
>
There really isn’t a specific day that Andy and I could say….”Davy started walking today”, he has been taking steps for over a month now. We were waiting for the day that Davy just got up and walked without us saying, “Big boys walk, use your feet”. Well, today seems to be the day. Easter Sunday! Today he walked all over the place. To the kitchen, on and off his toys, and even outside. Boy are we proud of him….
Mountains! Beach! or Both!...
