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...

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...

Last Days of Summer Vacation

I'm back...it's been a crazy past few weeks but then what's new. We were dealing with tummy issues for the boys last week and after spending each cleaning up the messes all I could bring myself to do at night was lay on the couch! On top of that, I've been working out 3 days a week for an hour and a half at a time and that has been wearing me out. Oh, and I've started a new business selling Willow House so my free time has been limited. But I've been enjoying it and a happy mama makes for a happy family! Now we're enjoying our last day of summer vacation before Jack starts Pre-K tomorrow, which is the equivalent to what kindergarten was for me back in the day. Jack is excited to get back to school and see his friends and learn "big kid stuff," and I'm excited to get our routine started for the school year. Plus Daddy should be home on Thursday and that will help tremendously! I can't believe he's been gone almost two years. It wi...
