Sidewalk Chalk and a Trip to Augusta

I got Ty some sidewalk chalk from the dollar section at Target the other day. I wasn't sure if he'd be entertained by it yet but it was a dollar so I thought I would give it a try. He actually colored on the sidewalk with it. In all honesty he was more interested in taking all the chalk out of its little bucket and then putting it all back in again but he did draw with it for a little while. And much to my dismay everyday it becomes more apparent that the kid is right handed. Boo!



Also the other day Ty and I spent our morning in Augusta. My cell phone broke yet again so I had to take it to Best Buy. There isn't one in Aiken so we had to drive 20 miles to Augusta. There was a splash pad and playground fairly close to Best Buy so I took Ty by there afterwards. The splash pad was not as cool as the ones in Austin but I don't think Ty cared. He still had a good time playing in the water and then on the playground. I will say that one thing that is definitely better then Austin is the weather. We were at this park at noon and it wasn't 112 degrees. It was probably only like 87 degrees and still very pleasant.

Camera Pictures


One of the coolest things about our new apartment is that it has 3 bedrooms. The 3rd one is an upstairs kind of loft area. When we first found out about this extra room Patrick got all excited and thought that it would be a "man cave" of sorts. Ummm ha! It's now Ty's playroom. I put a bunch of toys up there and we will go play with them occasionally so they're like new. Here's a picture of him climbing up on his block table right before I yelled at him to get down. The kid climbs up on everything! 

Here is Ty right after he woke up from a nap. I tried to catch the cuteness that I love when he first wakes up with those sweet sleepy eyes and messed up hair. 

Moving in and with empty cabinets here is Ty climbing in them. He thought he was so cool. 

The big sports team here is the Gamecocks. I have no beef with them and I like Steve Spurrier (their football coach) here is Ty in front a big display they had set up at the Kroger. He's wearing a UT shirt BTW. 


Ty at the park in his wife beater just cute. 

In a big boy swing. He can't go high in them yet, but he's learning.

Paris in a chair. You can tell how excited she is to be in it.


Playing at a different park in some woods. He just started saying lawn mower and its so cute. There was one here so that's all he could really concentrate on, he loves them almost as much as vacuums. Seemingly I have an awesome kid someday for chores, mowing the lawn and vacuuming the floor!



Here we are at the local bouncy place. Its pretty ghetto compared to the ones in Austin but hey we're in Aiken what do you expect? He played with this little 3 year old black boy who kept saying "come on bebe" and Ty would follow. He loves the blacks and the blacks love him. 

Just another shot from Patrick's man cave.

Post Full of Pictures

I think I will just do a (mostly) wordless Wednesday today and get some current pictures on here. Maybe if Ty goes to bed early enough tonight I will do a picture phone update or maybe a 15 month post since his 15 month bday was 3 days ago.
