Some photos to share


Not much new to report so I'm just mostly sharing photos this time. Oh, for those of you in Seattle, I just wanted to let you know that we won't be coming after all. Jason's company decided that they didn't need his group to come out.

I had considered still traveling out there with the boys but have decided that I don't want to risk Ethan getting an ear infection a week before our trip to England. Jack got an ear infection the first time we took him on an airplane and Ethan has a higher chance of getting them due to the Down's (not that he will, just that he has an increased chance) and I just don't want to take the chance with such a big trip so soon after. So, you will all have to settle for seeing us in April!!!

As you will see from the pictures of the boys playing and hanging out together, they truly enjoy spending time together, as you can see.

Oh, and for those of you who I've been telling my couponing stories too, here are some good finds from this week.

At the drugstore I was able to get everything in this photo for just under $4.00. Not my best deal ever, but it was stuff I needed so it was good.

However, I did a great deal at the grocery store stocking up on cereal and snacks!!!! Here my bill started at just under $50. After coupons the total came to $20.95. Plus, I have a $10 rebate that I'm mailing in - so after that it will only be $10.95 for all this.

Having shopped using coupons for the past 3 months I've realized that there is no good reason to spend more than $2 at most on name brand cereal and that toothpaste shouldn't cost more than a dollar (most of mine have been free or about .25). It's really amazing how much I've saved.

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was...

Master Closet Overhaul

 We have this ridiculously large walk-in closet in our master bedroom and over time it has been overtaken with STUFF. So I decided I was tired of looking at the mess and it was time to clean it out and up.  Take a look...  I can't believe it went from this... To this!  I love walking in here now and actually find myself looking for reasons to go into my closet.  Along with just weeding out old clothes and items I no longer wore or needed (you should see the pile of stuff that was donated!) I made some changes to the room too.   One of them was my shoe racks. I've long wanted a tall shoe rack to go alongside the built in shelves but I knew it would never get off my husband's to-do list so I took matters into my own hands!!  It's not exactly what I had envisioned but it works and I'm happy with it. Thanks Target for the shelves.  Over the past few years I have developed a deep love for scarves and now own several....

 We have traveled around the SE for lacrosse tournaments in the past but this year we had the opportunity to travel to Denver, CO for one. I think it was one of my favorite. We tried to make it a family vacation as well, so we traveled in early the day before and spent some time exploring.  We headed down to Rock Park in Castle Rock and did a little hiking.  See that big rock in the background? Yup, the boys climbed all the way to the top. Ethan and I made it to the base of the rock while Jason, Jack and Wyatt climbed up top.  Ethan and I messing around waiting on the other boys.  Photos of the boys up top.  Our first game was an evening game, so we had most of the day to explore and get used to the altitude (which definitely got to the boys once they got on the field). The fun part of having good friends on the same lacrosse team is you get to explore together. We all drove up to Red Rocks to expl...
