Surprise!

     Yesterday, my big hunk of a man turned THIRTY FIVE years old!  When I was a teenager, I thought that was an OLD age, but now, I think...yeah, it's still old, but not THAT old. ;)  And have you ever seen a better looking thirty five year old?  I haven't...  Anyhow, since it's somewhat of a monumental birthday, I planned a special trip for our family to take to celebrate his birthday. 
     On Tuesday morning, Mark, the boys, and I all loaded a plane and took off for Florida for a couple of Spring Training games.  We watched the Braves play the Tigers in Lakeland and then in Lake Buena Vista, the Braves played the Miami Marlins yesterday. 
     It was a whirl-wind trip and we are already back home, but we had a great time.  Mark's parents are now in town and we look forward to spending a few days with them.

Our seats were in the bleachers and were INCREDIBLY crowded (but fairly close).

Titus didn't seem to mind.  He poked and played with the girl in front of us anyhow.

After just a few innings, we moved to the berm (aka-grass hill) and it was MUCH better.

It was nice for us all to spread out a bit.

*Love*

Love that happy little face.

Napping beside Daddy.

Ready to catch Jason Heyward's home run (unfortunately it went to right, not left).

Family photo!

The bleachers (below is a small field where bases were in the grass).

Braves win big!

Sweet Braves fans ready for another day of baseball.

He wanted to bring his old-school Braves jacket that his Grandma B gave him, but at the last minute, he changed his mind.

Isn't this the cutest jacket ever!?!?

Look how close our seats were!!!

Marcus' favorite player, Jason Heyward, signing autographs.

I put this picture on facebook and people thought the bald guy in the middle was Mark.  Haha!

Marcus took this picture.  How cute is it?

Big swing for J-Hey.

After the game, the kids ran the bases.  Since he would've had to do it alone, Marcus chose not to.  Bummer. :(

Sweet sleepy fella (he slept the last half of the game)

It's hard to be a baby...

Marcus and Mickey are BOTH Braves fans!

After the game, we walked around the property, which was HUGE, but beautiful.

Showing off his new cap.

Playing catch - they both loved it.
