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

The Olympics

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I've last posted a message. I guess it's been due to a combination of being really busy and not having much to say! Is that a contradiction? We've been letting Jack stay up late since Friday so that he could enjoy the Olympics. He really enjoyed the opening ceremony and has been in awe of the gymnastics. We went to a BBQ on Sunday night and just as we were getting ready to leave they put the ladies gymnastics on and all the kids say and watched. We had to drag Jack away. In other news, we're getting ready to do a really crazy thing. After only two months of having no debt and house payment, we're putting in an offer on a new home! We really had no plans to do this, but when we went to visit our friends on Sunday, we decided to drive around and look at the houses there. We had looked in there back before Ethan was born and fell in love with the place so we thought we'd just take a look and see how much i

Last Day in Prague

Our last full day in Prague. We had a late night parting the night before and a very early morning excursion but this was the one I was excited for! We did a similar excursion in Italy and loved it too. This was an awesome city bike tour to the Vysehrad Castle. We stopped for photo ops along the way - including here along the Charles River. But it's all fun and games until someone gets stopped by the Polizia! Before we left on our trip I was told to make sure you stay away from the police, so I was surprised to come up the big steep hill to see Jason stopped by one. I guess our tour guides didn't get the permit to ride in the park (too close to kids and a school). We had all just come up a big steep hill and were separated from the front of our group. Jason stopped to wait for me and the rest of the group to make sure we knew where to go. We had three guides, on leading, one in the middle who pulled away from Jason, and then one at the back.
