A day in our city

Saturday morning we headed to Pemberton Place/Centennial Olympic Park for the "Everyday Heros" event - put on by Coke, the Aquarium, and National Museum of Patriotism. (This is really a neat place since Coke and the Aquairum have moved in!) Centennial Park is now bustling with activity and is a nice place to spend an afternoon... Anyhow- Trey LOVES firetrucks and Police cars so what better place to go. He spent about an hour running from Police car, to firetruck, to police car, and firetruck. We even rode a firetruck (although I couldn't really get any good pictures of that).After all the fun checking out the police and fire stuff we walked over to the Olympic fountain rings... Trey is becoming a real water lover so we thought he might appriciate the rings. And boy did he ever! I am thankful for once I thought ahead and brought a change of clothes for him... if only I had brought myself some clothes- Iwent home pretty wet... I had to join in the fun with him! Check out the pictures!

Unfortunetly this was all happening right in the middle of Shelby's nap so she enjoyed some sleepy time in her stroller!

Sitting!

Shelby is now sitting up all alone!!! She still topples over if she reaches to far for something or just randomly tips back... so no sitting alone on the hardwoods just yet! This is an exciting milestone for her- such a new world to see and even for Trey~ he is enjoying that she can sit up and watch him... won't be long until they are running around together!!

Planes and swings!!

Over the weekend we spent the afternoon at a really neat park- Peachtree-Dekalb airport has a park almost on the runway! How awesome... here are some pictures. Trey wanted to try on my sunglasses- NO pictures please!
Here he is with his own Hotwheels sunglasses!

Shelby LOVED the swing! I think I got some really cute pictures of her!

Trey and Chipper watching planes take off and land!

Here is a shot of the swings - like I said the park is almost on the runway!

Trey flying like a plane on the way to the slides!

Trey wanted to ride his bike - and wear my helmet (backwards!)

I had to get a few more pictures before we put the helmet on the right way!

celebration week continued...

The week of Trey's birthday was so much fun- it even included a visit from his Mimi and Pa! They drove from Penn to help us celebrate! Here are some random picture from that week...

Here is Shelby and Daddy!

Trey thought it was great fun to remove the cushions and sit in his chair on top of the sofa!
We had hoped to go to Stone Mountain but the rain kept us away- so we went to the aquarium- Trey thought it was so exciting to "SEE MORE FISHEYS"! We toured the entire "worlds largest aquarium" in about an hour. He would look and then it was on to the next thing. Shelby also LOVED seeing the fish-her favorite were the whale sharks. Here she is with a shark!

Trey and his Pa checking out some fish!
Every morning when Mimi and Pa were visiting Trey would hammer thier mattress (we don't have an extra room so it was inflatable all the way!) - it was his way of fixing it.. you know letting the air out!

We went to the park while they were here. We took along his bubbles- they were a big hit with all the kids at the park- they all wanted to watch or try to blow. Trey mastered this skill and I was covered in soap!

Mimi even got in on the action- check her out on the swing!

Trey doing what he loves- digging in the dirt!

getting ready to slide~

Trey and his Pa had a so much fun playing baseball in his room! LOL!

On Trey's actual birthday we had a big day! First was to ride the Marta train! LOL! That is always an experience. But Trey loved every second of it and Shelby slept most of it! Then it was off to Chic-Fil-A ... one of our favorite places to eat! After nap time it was off to the park and then to watch garbabge truck- finally we had dinner - grilled cheese for Trey!

Trey's train party!

We had a great time celebrating Trey's 2nd birthday at his favorite place- New York Pizza exchange (the train pizza place)! Here are some pictures (in no order...)
Here is Trey enjoying his cake!!!

Happy Birthday to TREY!! He had been looking forward to blowing out his candles ALL DAY!

Trey and Zoe....

HERE COMES THE TRAIN!!!

Shelby LOVED the train as well- she laughed and squealed each time it came by!

So did all the kids!

Trey thought the pizza on the pan MUST taste even better than the piece on his plate...

HI TRAIN!

Shleby watching the train

Trey had such a fun time! Thank you to our parents and friends who helped make this birthday week so special for Trey (and for us)! We love you! (More pictures of Trey's "birthday celebration" later!)
