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.

A Day to Play!

We have been enjoying BEAUTIFUL weather in Georgia! For the last couple days we have been in the high 60's and it is suppose to continue for at least the next 10 days! So yesterday, we walked next door to the playground and played for a while. Garrett has gotten braver and will actually go down the slide now. Ty sat in the swing for a little while, but then he had enough.

Valentine's Day at our house...

Garrett praying before they eat.

After two Valentine's Day parties, I was (and still is) exhausted! Garrett had a party at school yesterday and then we had a party at the house for his friends. I didn't even take one picture of the party we had here, but we had a blast! We have made some really great friends here in Georgia!

I'll just post some pictures because there really isn't much going on. The boys and I are headed to Tennessee next week during Garrett's school break. It should be an interesting ride :) Ty is still growing like a mad man and is quite the pincher and hair puller and a back breaker. Garrett and his every changing vocabulary. Right now his favorite thing to say is "Oh, Mom" and "Its my turn on the computer" and he keeps telling me to "Share". I forgot to add "Okay, okay".

5 Months Old!

Ty William is 5 months old! He is growing way to fast and will be a year old before we know it. He is a whopper at about 18 pounds and has grown out of some of his 6 months clothes! He is a back breaker! I am struggling carrying his carseat with him in it! He is in size 2 diapers, but barely (just because I bought a big box :). He can roll over both ways and can pull hair with the best of them. He loves, loves Garrett and will always smile whenever he sees him.

He hates his carseat and just stares at me at cries whenever he isn't asleep riding. He attended his first college basketball game this past weekend (Georgia Tech/Maryland). Unfortunately (for me) his sleeping skills are slow to come around and we are having a Garrett repeat. If only I could sleep just once through the night!

We started giving him baby cereal and some baby fruits because he is such a big boy. He loves to eat! He will put absolutely anything in his mouth. He loves anything shiny, my Dr. Pepper cans are his absolute favorite and he just starts shaking whenever he sees on.

He has gotten too big for his baby bathtub, so we bought a bathtub ring and he and Garrett took a bath together. I'll have to edit some of those pictures and put them up. He loved sitting in the tub and was just amazed at Garrett.

That's all for now, not much going on these days!

Not much new...

Not much going on these days at the Coffey home. We do have new hardwood floors in our house and they look fantastic! We had to hang out upstairs/downstairs for four days (and went a little crazy), but it was all worth it, the nasty carpet is gone! I'll try to post some pictures up later of the house.

The boys are growing like crazy lately. Ty is a whopping 18 pounds! Garrett officially has started to look like Justin Bieber, we are way over due for a hair cut!

David and I are fixing to celebrate our 6th anniversary this Saturday. Its hard to believe that we have been married 6 years. I told him, 6 years, 2 kids and 4 states later (Tennessee, Kansas, temporarily Maryland and now Georgia), here we are :) We are celebrating with a trip to the Cheesecake Factory and going to watch Georgia Tech and Maryland play on Sunday.

Here are some pictures from this past week, enjoy!

Etsy...

I have started an shop on etsy. I only have a few nursing covers on there right now, but plan to continue to add items. Feel free to pass the word along for me :)

Snowlanta...

Today is officially our 3rd snow day from our winter weather. I think cabin fever is starting to set it because David's office has been closed all week and we are dying to get out! We got about 5-6 inches of snow and then a layer of ice on top of the snow. People in Georgia have trouble driving in snow and ice and the roads have been a mess! The interstates have been shut down off and on since Sunday night and they haven't even come close to touching the secondary roads. The boys and I were planning to come a visit to Tennessee, but it will just have to wait :(

On the other hand, Garrett enjoyed playing in the snow and has went out the last two days. We went to Home Depot to maybe buy a sled, but the stores around here don't even get them in, so no luck. He played with some other kids from the neighborhood yesterday and took a snowball to the head (no worries, he didn't even cry).

Ty made his first trip in the snow yesterday. Luckily, Garrett's snowsuit fit him and we bundled him up for a few pictures. Enjoy the pictures of the snow!
