Elliot & Atti's Vacation

Elliot and Atticus went to Dallas to visit Joe and to see the Red Sox play the Rangers. Atti went to two MLB games and caught a fly foul at the second game!



Atticus playing in G-Pa's pool!

9th Inning: Atti just couldn't make it!

Play Day

Atti loves to play at our condo's playground! His newest idea is to get gravel in both of his hands, climb to the big twist slide, and then throw them down the slide one by one. This task takes about twenty minutes because he waits to hear it fall off the slide to the ground before he will throw the next one. When all of his rocks are gone he will slide down and start over. I only let him do it about three times before my neck is strained from looking up at him from the side of the slide.




When Atti finaly makes it down the slide his hair goes crazy from the static. It is not a fast venture at any point and his little bottom drags along and he has to scoot down!




Yesterday we decided Atticus was big enough to sit on a swing all by himself! I barley pushed him an inch and he thought it was the best thing in the world!




I have lots more pictures, and I promise to post them shortly.... (thats for you Nana! I caught your hint!)

Marine Graduation / California Quickie Vacation

Sooooo....Atti and I went with my family to A.J.'s (my baby brother) Marine Corps. boot camp graduation the first week in July. It was entertaining to take Atti on an airplane again; he is just so busy now it is hard to keep him sitting in one seat for a two hour flight. Not to mention that he throws tantrums that can rip your eardurms if he is not getting his way!

Anywho, we went midweek and had a nice time. It was very impressive to see the changes that my brother had undergone and how grown up he now was. It was nice to spend a bit of time with him too, as he is already gone back for more training.

Here are some photos and descriptions of what was going on during our trip:



A.J. and Kat on the ride to the hotel after A.J. had been released from his 13 week imprisonment! He was excited to eat a candy bar and sleep in a bed!



I think this is A.J.'s platoon (I couldn't see too far to read the red flag) lined up on the parade deck during the graduation. I loved it when they all yelled together - very powerful.



A blurry picture of a happy A.J. as he picked up some civilian clothing from our room so he could change into something not made of wool and a bit cooler than he was used too.



Atticus riding illegally on Nana's lap in the shuttle from the base to the hotel. They were making farm animal sounds; Atti knows that sheep say "baaaa" and horses go "pwwwww!"



This is the toddler king eating frootloops in MY bed! He climbed on up with his snack and made himself comfortable.



A.J. taking my mom's arm like a gentleman! WOW!! From boy to man in 13 weeks!



Once again, I think this is A.J.'s platoon. He should be in the second row, third back....



Grandma Sugar and Atti look at boats in the harbor on the back side of our hotel. Atticus wants to jump in the water and take a swim!


Me and Atti at the pool for A.J.'s after party. We swam later and the water wasn't too bad. I have given birth to a baby fish!


Last memories as we left the base. A.J. has never been more relieved in his life!

4th O July

You may have noticed that my posts are all out of order...I am playing catch up from the last month that I have slacked and not blogged! On the 4th we went to the Centerville Parade with Claire in the morning and Atti loved picking up candy, although he did not get to eat any of it. We stopped by a BBQ in Sandy for my dad's side of the family, and then in the evening we went to my moms and watched our neighbors do fireworks, but Atti fell asleep and I didn't take any pictures!
