Enjoying Having Jason Home

We've been enjoying having Jason home for his two week vacation before he heads off to Ft. Bragg, NC for the next year plus. We haven't done much except for hang out at home and do all Ethan's therapies and Jack's gymnastics class, which we have to change because his teacher told us he was too good for the one he is currently in!

Monday we had to spend the day at home waiting for the UPS driver to show up with our projector for the theater room. They gave us a window of 8a - 7p! At least the repair guys give you a four hour window. Jack had fun waiting around for them - he sat outside and had lunch waiting for him. He finally showed up at 4:30p and Jack couldn't wait for Daddy to get home to set it up.

Jack enjoyed passing the time until Jason got home on Tuesday by reading his train book. He climbs up on the chair to pick the perfect book off the bookshelf and then reads to himself. This kid needs to get into school this fall.

Jack is going to kill me one of these days for posting naked pictures of him online, but he was so cute I couldn't resist. He loves to take showers in our big shower!

Thursday we spent the day in Alabama. We headed out to get some fireworks (can't buy them in Georgia) and to visit the new Bass Pro Shop out there. It was a 2+ hour drive, so Daddy gave in and put a movie on the DVD player for the boys. Ethan watched a bit, but Jack LOVED it. He watched The Secret of Nimh, which totally took Jason and I back to our childhood.

We went to get fireworks with the idea of spending about $300. The place we went to gives you 20% free when you spend $350 so we did and then at check out found out that they give a 50% military discount, so Jason was like a kid in a candy store and we left with over $800 in fireworks. Needless to say, it will be a fun day here on the 4th of July!!

Ever since we got the projector up, we've been watching a TON of movies down there. It's so nice to be able to watch movies in style and everything looks better when it's bigger with surround sound.

We still have just over a week with Jason, which I know will go fast, so I probably won't be posting much over the next few days.

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.
