What a Busy Week!

This past week has just flown by and I'm back to being terrible about keeping this blog up to date. Apologies from the mom of two busy little ones...

We dropped Grannie Annie off last Tuesday morning and Jack has been asking to go visit from the minute she left the car. So I guess a trip to Phoenix is in our near future! Not a bad thing.


Thursday we celebrated Ethan's birthday again, this time with the playgroup. We had a lot of fun, but there were a LOT of kids in this little living room of ours. But everyone had fun and Ethan REALLY enjoyed more birthday cake!!






I think a tornado hit the room. We did NOT have fun picking this up!
These two boys really LOVE each other...

Saturday we had yet another birthday party to attend but this time it was at a bowling alley and Jack got to bowl his first game.

He really seemed to enjoy it and got upset when Jason or I would help him or even touch the ball.







A quick side note to mention that Jack has given up sucking his thumb!! A few weeks ago we noticed that his thumbs were raw and bleeding (it's so dry here in the wintertime) so we told him he had to stop sucking his thumbs while they healed. Well, he managed to stop to let them heal and that was enough for him to stop sucking altogether. I'm so proud of him and shocked that it only took a few days to give it up!




Saturday was also a big day for Ethan -- he got his first hair cut. He really needed it (and Daddy had been wanting it for weeks). He now looks like a little boy instead of a baby (but I secretly miss his little curls).

He did really well and didn't cry at all!






The other big event of our week was buying a new car. We traded in my Lexus (sniff, sniff) for "The Beast." It's a fully loaded 2006 Ford Expedition. Yes, I am now officially a soccer mom. Or a T-ball mom, as Jack starts practice on Friday.

It's big and has it all and Jack loves it - especially hiding in the very back seats!!

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....
