I'm a T-Rex

Ramsey loves to watch the Dinasaur Train in the morning and here he is singing the T-Rex song.

Touch A Truck

Last night downtown Cartersville was having a Touch-A-Truck fundraiser. So of course Ramsey was excited to go. Exhibit A: We met Cope for BBQ since he was coming home from drill and then off to the truck event we headed. First stop was the big rig:

Then it was on to "Sarge":

Tractor:

Police Car:
It was neat because they would let the kids sit in the driver seats and eve honk the horn and do the sirens. Pretty much a dream come true for a little boy:

Front End Loader: There were lots of other trucks including a firetruck and an RV. Ramsey got scared by one of the big trucks horns that went off right as he was approaching it. He clung to Cope like koala cub. Other then that it was neat little kid event. Ramsey said his favorite truck was "the bus that was a house" meaning the RV. Great, next thing you know I'll be making him a t-shirt with an RV on it. :)

Walking in Daddy's Shoes

Forgive me loyal readers (few but beloved) as it is back to school time in our town and my business has been SUPER BUSY. Kids need names on their backpacks, custom first day of school shirts and more. Blogging is taking a slight backseat until I come up for air. Be back soon!

Birthday Party Weekend

We had a fun day Saturday because it included 2 kids birthday parties. In the morning we headed to Douglasville for our friends from college little girls birthday. Miss Ava turned 2! Ramsey was on his best behavior the entire time and once Erin found him 2 little cars in her moms attic he was set. It was so good to see our old friends and catch up a bit. Erin and Vince are expecting baby #2 and will be moving back to Georgia from Ft. Rucker, AL very soon. Hopefully we can hang out more.

We left that party about 1:30 and headed for Cartersville. Ramsey napped on the ride, thank goodness. We got to party number 2 at 3:30. This one was from my friend Katie's little diva, Miss Kendall. It was a great party with an ice cream theme. There was an ice cream bar which was yummy. I got vanilla with cookie dough. Ramsey cared nothing about eating or the party as he only wanted to be in the toy room. He made it until about 5:00 where he started melting down. After a few tantrums over toys (that weren't even his) we left.

I just love kids birthday parties. Ramsey enjoys them and everyone is always in a good mood (minus the tantrums). There is always cake and good food and it it is just a time to catch up and gab about your kids. So our Saturday was busy but very entertaining.

Ikea Morning

Friday morning my friend Kelly invited Ramsey and I to go on a trip to Ikea with she and Ty (Ramsey's BFF). I had never been to an Ikea before and was blown away. It is amazing! Bargains everywhere. The boys were so happy to be together and were too cute all day. Ramsey did great with telling me when he needed to potty and I'd rush across the store like a mad woman.

Ikea has a very cool cafe where through August kids eat for free. So the boys dined on mac and cheese and fries and Kelly and I had wraps and fruit. It was a fun morning and I ended up with a new little table for my sewing center ( I know have 5 machines :). Here are some pictures from out little adventure:

Ty and Ramsey wanted to share the same buggy. Here they are sharing a snack.:

Watching Toy Story on the way home. Ramsey had never seen a video in a car so he was mesmerized:

Ramsey loves his froggy potty. He even loves to dump it in the big potty and flush!:

Monkey Joe Morning

We hit Monkey Joes this morning for some fun with friends before all the craziness of preschool and fall time schedules get going. Ramsey and 3 of his little buddies went and all had a blast. Ramsey is getting so grown up. I could actually sit and talk to the other mommies some and not worry about his needing help of getting hurt but I did check in on him from time to time and found him pushing a kid off a motorcycle game. Bully. Anyway, it was fun morning and I love that Ramsey has buddies that have great mommies. We played until they were good and sweaty and then headed to chic-fil-a for some yummy lunch. Fun times were had by all.

I could not capture any pictures of Ramsey on the bouncy stuff as he was entirely too active for pictures. Here he and Ty are riding some elephants which Ramsey LOVES:
