Visit to the Circus

Jack has loved wearing his new baseball helmet ever since he got it this past weekend. And he's adamant about helping me with projects, so I couldn't help but get photos of him accomplishing both things!





On Wednesday we met some of our playgroup friends and went to the Big Apple Circus. Jack had a blast! We were about four rows up from ringside so we had great seats - although it's a small enough event that no matter where you sit you've got a good view.

It was a bit too loud for Ethan (and me too) so he spent almost the entire time with his arms wrapped around my neck!

Trying to get Jack to smile!
If you ask Jack what his favorite part of the circus was he'll tell you the port-a-potties. We had to make at least four trips! After that he'll say the lemonade and popcorn. But he really seemed to enjoy it all.


Tonight the boys were playing around and I couldn't keep Ethan off of Jack. It was so much fun to see these two interact. Every night Jack whispers good-night to Ethan and gives him a little kiss. There's no question that these two love each other.





Ethan has been doing great at getting up on his hands and knees. He's now pulling himself up on the couch (with help) into a standing position and last night he pulled himself up onto his knees on my knee by himself. It's great to see all the advances he's making right now. Not long until I'm chasing him around too!



Jack normally hates having his picture taken (for the most part) but tonight I couldn't keep him from jumping in front of the camera. Every time I tried to take Ethan's picture, Jack kept saying, "take mine!"

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...

My Week

 Jason left last Saturday (the 4th) for his two week Army Annual Training and we sent him off with a nighttime treat before he left.  I love this photo of my boys, as they all look so happy and the small ones look so grown up - especially Ethan.  We couldn't pry that cup of frozen yogurt away from him!!  And, as usual, when Jason leaves all hell breaks loose.  Tuesday night we were all getting ready for bed and I was getting Ethan and Wyatt out of the bathtub when Wyatt slipped and banged his chin on the edge.  Normally Wyatt gets out first but this time I got Ethan and that just drove him crazy.  He was jumping up and down and as soon as I told him to stop he slipped.  I thought he had just cut his lip or his gums as I only saw blood but then he titled his head up and I saw his chin - too much of the inside of the chin.  I got him dried off, and kept a washcloth to his chin but knew I needed to get him to the ER.  But the last th...

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....
