Garrett's New Ride
David's Uncle Jimmy brought Garrett a PowerWheels four-wheeler yesterday. Unfortunely we are back in a cold spell, but Garrett rode it all over the driveway. I'm sure when it warms up he is going to spend many hours outside riding! 
Enjoying Spring, then back to Winter, then back to Spring and so forth...
We have had very crazy weather lately (just like everybody else). It will be 84 one day and right now it is 47 degrees. I dug out everyones' shorts and t-shirts and now we are back in jackets and pants. We were spoiled by the warm weather, hopefully it will reappear soon!
We have still been traveling nomads lately. I just got back from a quick trip to TN and am planning to stay in Georgia for awhile with no more trips! I am completely exhausted and our next trip will be a dousy! We are headed to Kansas in May and we are driving. It should be very interesting :)

6 Months Old!
Ty is officially 6 months old! Its hard to believe that he has been with us for half a year! He was definitely a great addition to our family. He went for his 6 month check-up last Monday and weighed 18.1 (63%), 26.5 inches long (55%) and his head was 17.25 (53%).
He is a great baby and has did great for most of our road trips. He is a master roller-over, the drooling king, toothless and still has big BLUE eyes! He is so close to crawling. He gets up on all fours and kinda of throws himself toward what he wants. He can scoot himself to whatever he wants. He loves to put anything in his mouth and is still an awful sleeper :( Maybe one day I can sleep again!
He loves Garrett and Garrett loves him most of the time. He pulls Garrett's hair and Garrett says, "no do that Ty". We had a trip to the ER about a month ago because Garrett told me that he fed Ty a bingo chip and I wasn't sure if he did or not since he had them all over his mouth. Luckily, no bingo chip! I can't leave the room for 30 seconds anymore :)

Garrett Coffey, the Comedian
Garrett is quite the funny man these days. He LOVES posing for pictures and just wanted me to keep taking pictures of him at the hotel. I thought they turned out really cute :)
The Georgia Coast
Warning: Lots of pictures on this post and not really in any particular order!
We just got back from 5 days down on St. Simons Island off the coast of Georgia. David got called to do a last minute trip down there for work and of course we couldn't pass up a trip to go! We love the area and I think this makes our 5th trip down there. David had to work nights, so the boys and I just made our self at home. I have gotten to know the area pretty well and killed lots of time so that David could sleep.
On day one, we went to Jekyll Island to the Georgia Sea Turtle Hospital/Center. I think this makes our 3rd trip there, but we love going. The bring in hurt sea turtles and rehab them to be re-released. Jekyll Island is very historic and ritzy. It used to be owned by the Rockefeller's and was used as the wealthy peoples' vacation island back in the 20's. It's still pretty ritzy today.
On day two, we just shopped and spent time in Target and Old Navy, I know not very beachy, but Garrett has decided that he was to lay/dig/love the sand and I couldn't hardly clean him off with Ty clinging to me. Garrett also decided that he loves the ocean. Last summer he would hardly get in the water, but this trip he basically jumped in and the water was COLD! So I didn't want to have to jump in and get him :)
On day three, we did go to the beach that morning and enjoyed being there with few people. St. Simons is a beautiful place and not very touristy. We went and walked about down town or what they call the village and visited the lighthouse again, walked on the pier again and hit the playground. I told David, I completely see us living there ;)
We also went up to Savannah on our trip. I love Savannah, but on Saturday it was too crowded and to much Mardi Gras stuff going on. So we didn't stay long, but went over to Tybee Island and had supper. We ate at this fabulous place called the Crab Shack. I got crab stew and it was DELICIOUS. David got a sampler and it was huge! If you go to Savannah, it is definitely worth eating there.
On Tybee, warning if you go to Savannah do not stay at the hotel in the background. We were scared just looking at it from the outside (it was the Ocean Plaza=scary!)
He didn't like the wind!

Enjoying Georgia
Lots of blog catch-up to do! I have been gone off and on for two weeks and we are finally home for a couple of days, it is so nice to be able to travel, but its exhausting!
We had beautiful weather for a couple of weeks now and have been finding new things to do outside. We have had playdates and explored new places in our region. Garrett has great playdate friends and we were able to meet up with them two weeks ago to explore a new park!
Blake and Bryan were very curious about Ty sleeping :)

Bonita and Clarence came down a couple of weeks about and we went out to Red Top Mountain State Park and the Etowah Indian Mounds. It was an absolutely gorgeous day!
Another great thing about were we live is that we have a paved trail that is about a mile from our house. It actually runs all the way to Alabama, but we didn't make it quite that far ;) My goal is to start walking it weekly when the weather is warm enough.
