Thomas visits with Aquarium

Mommy and daddy ventured with our twin friends, Jillian and Alec, to see Thomas the Train at the Aquarium. FYI: You will see no Thomas exhibits because they weere so interested in everything else!!!

Turner sharing his juice with a stuffed sea otter.

Alec and Jillian....

Taylor enjoyed driving the shrimp boat!!

T and T checking out the new exhibit....MINNOWS!
Whoa, is that man for real?








Taylor's Sick Day with Mommy

Every virus known to man has hit the Slade household. For the past two weeks, someone has been sick. First cute ole Turner, then mommy, then sweet ole Taylor, then poor ole handsome daddy. Yuck! Repiratory infection, strep throat, high fever buth otherwise fine, GI bug , then sinus infection. Come visit, but enter at your own risk!!!
Fresh squeezed orange juice from our orange trees to give nourishment to our inflicted bodies!


Sick, hot, and just feeling bad, bad, bad!!

Picking oranges from our tree. High fever, but otherwise fine and bored to death as , mommy has isolated us from all of our friends!!

Don't you love the little hands as they reach for the oranges!!!

Poor ole Taylor was sick with the throw up bug. He would be humming a song, then blah.... then cries for "daddy-O". His first meal after the GI bug...bread, goldfish and ice water.

I am back , thanks to the motrin!!!!

Back to feeling yucky and in a daze.....








Happy Thanksgiving SSI!

Luckily or unlucky for us all, Turner choked on a donut hole and threw up (at school), thus mommy was forced to start her Thanksgiving celebration early. Three hours later, the boys and I were heading over the St Simons causeway, humming and singing nursery rhymes. Daddy had left the day before to go fishing.The boys did fabulous on the ride down. We ate snacks, watched new movies, stopped multiple times for snack replacements, once for mommy to go potty in the woods. (Yep, my friends. I was not dragging both boys into a nasty public bathroom ALONE...thank goodness mommy now has an SUV.) Bonus: Mommy only had one snack cup thrown at her (ok, hint taken...more snacks needed!).

We are there!!! Poppy and his volunteerism with the Land Trust helped open this cool new park at the north end.

Little Turner under the big ole tree!!!


Snacktime!!!!

The boys playing by the little houses area. see who is there! Jackie! We snuck him down there because, well, he is not well. (enough said there so I don't start crying) He did great and enjoyed the extra attention. Guinness, home with our loving dog sitter, was beyond pissed as he took his free times to consume several key Thomas the tank engine train tracks. Bad, sweet ole dog.

The poor park was just finished and now almost destroyed by the Slades twins! Taylor and Turner loved sitting on the houses and enjoyed removing a ton of little greeen flags, which were probably marking something really important. Whoops!!!

Jackson making his own bed in the Slades front bushes. Sorry Poppy and Granny! Thank you for your patience Poppy, as we know you are not "dog people".

Thanks to this whole tricyle and our beloved rockets, fun outside was had by all. Yes, the weather was unexpectedly hot, thus the boys got to go pants-less!!
Taylor and his cousin, aka SSI babysitter, Elizabeth.
SSI Skate Park!

And yes, the boys are wearing their pajama tops because we had no more warm weather clothes!!

Snacktime with Elizabeth!!
The cousins found some old costumes and of course, they fit the boys perfectly!!!

The SSI pier always brings out interesting people and things. Here are the cousins with Taylor looking at some fish that were just caught. Turner was wanting to be held by his mommy so he could see the fish from high, high up!!

Parktime!!!

Out Boat

The weather was beautiful for a fall boat ride. We bundled up and out we went!!

Daddy and Turner cuddling up. Sorry for the few pictures, but mommy was feeling under the weather, so she was laid out cuddling with Jackie on the bow of the boat.

Play Date with Windhams and Cahills

T and T's best buds are our friends and neighbors. Although the kids are much older, the boys seem to think they are quite as big!!!
Heading out on a walk with the Windhams.

Even the Windham's Pigzilla got to go along in Sterling's basket.


"What's up ahead?"

" who me?""

Taylor and "Ash--eee " stopping for a hug at the lake

Playing at the neighborhood park!!

Parachute Doritos Game with the Cahills and "Ash-eeee"...sweet ole Owen!!

Ashley drew a color and if you were sitting on that color, you got a Dorito. Even Jackie decided this game was worth his effort to get off the couch!!!

That's right, folks. Look closely at Taylor's recent "art " project. Guess I should be glad it was not on my walls.
