Amelia Island the Plantations! February 12-15 2009
Mom is going on a girls weekend to Amelia Island with 13 other girlfriends. She is so excited but is a little nervous because she only knows a hand full of them. The night before she left I had my nails done while mom let her feet soak. She wanted them pretty for the beach. The pictures below are of the awesome girls my mom spent the weekend with, the great food she made and the view she looked at every morning. Dad did not take any photo's of us before Adam and I but be had a lot of fun! Dad did a great job while mom was gone for three nights four days. Mom had the best time and hopes to see everyone really soon. My first time having my nails painted and loved every minute of it.

This is the view mom woke up to every morning. Thanks Marianne for inviting my mom she had the time of her life. Say, the pool looks like Mickey.

The famous thirteen.

What a shot, look at that sun set.

Before mom left on the trip she had to find a meal to make. See, everyone was in charged of making a meal. Mom made two breakfast Casseroles. This is her famous Overnight blueberry french toast. It is so yummy!

This is the famous veggie and egg dish. Adam loves this dish but I don't because I don't like any vegetables.

St. Stephens Festival February 2009

St. Stephens Festival Feb. 2009 I am watching my dad and sister ride the carousel.

I love riding on carousel rides!

My mom, sister, dad and I on a ferrous wheel. We went up really high... so high we could see the top of the church. This is my dad and I checking out all the people below.

The family on the way up. The sun was so bright it was hard to see, that is why Sarah's and my eyes are closed.

Chug a Chug a Choo Choo.

My first roller coaster ride and I had a blast. I was not afraid one bit. This means the next time mom and dad take me Sea World I can ride on the Shamu roller coaster.

This was the last ride. Mom and dad bought $20.00 worth of tickets and man did that go fast! we left after this. Adam and I had lots of fun and can't wait to come back next year. We have been members of St. Stephan's for three years and this is the first time we attended the carnival because A. we were always out of town and B. Mom was really PREGO!

Super Bowl 49 Sunday, Feb 1. 2009

Every year that dad is not at work we have a super bowl party. This year was really nice because we have not had a party in two years because dad shift fell on guess what? Yep the super bowl. Everyone brought delicious super bowl food such as wings, snacks, chips and mom made her famous meet balls and spinach dip. There was enough food to feed an army and by the end of the night everyone took something home.
2009 Super bowl Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals. Mom is such a softy she wanted the Arizona Cardinals to win because they have never been to the super bowl before. This was a great game and can't wait to see who is at the super bowl next year. Mrs. Michelle's mom and Mr. Anthony playing with me while watching the game inside. This is my first super bowl game and as you can see I am more interested in playing with my music toys.

These are all the people daddy works with. Some are from the fire department and others are nurses from the hospital.

Daddy and the rest of the fire fighters decided to build a fire in the back yard. Mom was very nervous and I was a little two but in the end, everyone like the warm fire since it was a cool night.

Nicole and I are enjoying playing dress up and decided to come outside to check the score. Pittsburgh is winning, darn come on Atlanta!

Mr. Anthony is giving me more love! Like I need more attention!

Mr. Matt enjoying the game and flying me through the air.

Enjoying some time to myself. I actually have a few minutes to play with my sisters tea set before she rips it out of my hands.

January 2009 Ratermans

Ok , the Ratermans drove from Georgia to Miami to watch the Cincinnati game. Mom tried to look up on yahoo, if it was the Cincinnati basketball game or football. What ever the case may be, Is a ll she understood is that Cincinatti lost but everyone had a great time. That goes to show you how mom an dad keep up with sports. After the game Great Aunt Mary, Great Uncle John, Second Cousin Laura and Second Cousin Carol decided to meet us on I-Drive for a bite to eat before they headed back to Georgia, We ended up meeting them on I-Drive at Fridays for a bite to eat. Everyone looked great and it was so exciting to see everyone. We wish we did not live so far apart. Uncle John when we are older we will be sure to stop in Georgia for a few days to visit before we head to Ohio. At this time mom and dad just think we are to young to be in a car for so long. Thank you for a great lunch, we miss you all and hope to see you soon. .. Laura your voice is beautiful and keep singing and Carol good luck with the golf scholarship.

This is the first time I have meant Great Uncle John and by the way I love your sweat shirt.

What a great place to eat. I was so happy to see my god mother Great Aunt Mary Thanks again for a great meal. Your the best. Don't mind my eyes the Florida sun is way to bright. Mom, I need my sun glasses.

Hanging out with daddy while mommy is in Inidana for Joys wedding January 9th -12th 2009

Dad is in charge! Mom is on a plane to Indiana for Joys wedding. Joy is my moms best friend and they have been friends since grade school. Now with mom gone ... PARTY TIME! Sarah and I are preparing daddy for a show. See Video!

I am playing jingle bells on the piano, while Adam does his best karaoke. See Video!

Best buds! I just love wrestling and loving on my sister.

It is freezing but not as cold as Indiana. When I talked to mom she told me it was snowing in Indiana and that Joy and her went outside in the hot tub one night! When she got out of the hot tub part of her hair was frozen. I guess she forgot to wear a hat!

This is what mom was up to while in Indiana.

Photo of Joy and her husband Greg.

The girls went for manicures.

and pedicures, how pretty.

The three amigos.

Mom and Joy enjoying a game a duck pin bowling.

What is duck pin bowling? I had never heard of it or played until I went to Indiana. The game is similar to bowling but the bowl is a little bigger than a base ball and weights a lot more. The ball does not have holes like a bowling ball. The goal is to throw the bowl down the lane and hit objects similar to pins. It was great watching balls being thrown into other lanes and people falling because the floor was so slipper. If you have not tried duck pin bowling you have to give it a shot. Once you try you will want to play all the time. Google duck pin bowling to learn more about it.

Video of Sarah and Adam playing the piano and singing.

Day 9 Ohio Trip December 30, 2008

Day 9 Ohio Trip December 30, 2008

.

We are leaving in the morning! Today was another busy day in Ohio. We started our adventure by going to the Natural History Museum in Cincinnati. We visited the kids museum and the holiday train exhibit. This is a photo of me was taken at the kids museum. I walked through a cave and inside it was a tree. The whole in the tree was a secret place the fish were hiding. Mom could only see me through the glass. I went through this tree at least three times!
Admiring Grandmas earings!

I had so much fun. The goal is for me to pull on the rope the harder a pull the more balls go into maze and drop onto the floor. This place was a zoo... we did not stay in this section for very long.





























In the children's museum there are a variety of stations for example a doctors and vet office. A grocery store, diner, house, school and the list goes on and on. I played at each station but mom had so many photos she decided to only show the photo of me in the diner.































Having a blast playing with Legos. There is a video at the end do not forget to check it out!


























What another fun game. The goals was to roll the ball to the person standing at the other end. Using two balls was more challenging.

Driving grandpa to the doctor!





















Hanging out with grandpa in the play area that is designed for little ones like me.






















Look at this huge water table. There is a video at the end that shows more details, be sure to take a look!

Climbing in the air, I am not jocking there is nothing below me but peoples heads. Check out the video below, I will amaze you!

Every year the Museum has a special holiday train exhibit so grandpa and me thought we would check out some of the trains.

























Daddy took be to the top of the museum to watch all the real trains. This was really fun!

When we got home from the museum mom and dad took me to see my second cousin Kristin cheer during a basketball game.

Go Falcons! I want to be a cheerleader too!
