TRAVIS BURNT HIS HANDS! (CAUGHT ON CAMERA)

Thanks for the prayers and comments regarding Trav’s hands! They are healing quickly so we are thankful :)

Also, sorry for the slightly shorter vlog this week. It was difficult for Trav to film/edit while his hands were healing!

As always, thanks for watching! We appreciate our YouTube fam so much!

- Travis and Katie ❤️

DECK - if you live in an area where you get snow and ice, the cement slab will start to crack within a couple years. SO I think it would depend on your climate... I am so glad that Travis healed quick. Sometimes we don't have time to think things through, and instinct tells us to stop ourselves from falling, so your instincts kicked in, and I would image most of us have done exactly what you have done.

You’re so blessed to have those younger sisters that can come help you out. Hope Travis is healing well!

Why not consider a screened in porch off the back of the house, that way you are protected from the elements and bugs too! We love watching y'all! ❤❤❤

Going through a difficult time in my life right now and seeing Hailey’s beautiful face and smile is making me forget for a bit.

Honestly go w/ the deck ! Concrete can b really hot to walk on during the summer ( it retains heat much stronger than a wooden surface will ) and on that note, I believe Trav has endured enough heat for the entire Clark family ! Hope your back too 100% soon Trav .

I highly recommend a deck over concrete with little ones. A deck, especially if you use a composite like Trex, becomes an extension of your house. I went with Trex on mine since my grandson was just learning to walk. It was peace of mind not to worry about him falling and getting hurt.

Hailey so so precious! Her in the cowboy hat was cuteness overload. Loved it! Ellie is so grown up and a beautiful women! I’ve enjoyed watching the Bates’ family grow. Thank you for sharing your loves with us! May God continue to bless you all!

Ouch!!! Make sure you keep your hands really clean. Might not hurt to get it checked out!

Glad your hands are healing!! I think it's a toss up on deck vs cement patio. I think having a cement patio gives you more options such as playing with chalk, riding a little trike, playing with water toys, bouncing a ball, etc. The rug idea would be a plus on the patio. Decks are great but need more maintenance. If the patio is done right, make sure it gets textured so it's not slick. If you have a drive way and or side walk to ride bikes on or trikes, little cars etc. you may not need the patio. If you're always in the back, I would do the concrete patio. Hailey is such a beauty and brings me joy to see her smile!

Hailey’s the cutest thing in that hat and her Sunday outfit! So glad Travis’ hands are healing well. As always, enjoy the vlogs. Of course, love Remi!!

I have had both concrete slab and a deck. I think the concrete was more flexible and much easier to maintain over the years. It provide hours of fun for the toddler preschool ages and I didn't feel so separated from them when they were in the yard playing. I bought a cheap "grass like" carpet from home depot and it was awesome. Travis, I hope you are all better now. Hailey is growing so quickly and is so adorable. Katie you are such a beautiful person inside and out. ❤

Definitely a deck…much warmer look. Thanks y’all! ❤

Cement is actually awesome with little ones. Bike riding, sand toys, outdoor play toys...all work beautifully with a cement patio...& if it's covered....play time no matter what the weather! We had a covered cement patio when the kids were little & it worked out perfect for our kids (might have been tricycle races in the rain).

Enjoy these cute moments with Hailey, because she's gonna grow up before you know it. Love you guys! ❤

[joanneschwartz]

I'm happy that you're doing better, Travis! Hailey is so precious! God bless you all! ❤️🙏

[raylew]

Feel better soon! Regarding deck vs patio I'd recommend a trex deck (worth the extra splurge) it's much easier to maintain and more kid friendly. Also, I'm not sure why but in my experience the stone patios look nice but attract a lot of those tiny red spiders.

Continued prayers for healing! Your family is sooo precious!! Thank you for sharing! Hailey is sooo beautiful! That smile when Hailey wakes up melts my heart!!!❤
