Trip Extended

It's been so nice being here with Jason and being a family. I can only imagine how hard it's going to be when we leave here. For both the boys and myself. Not to mention Jason.....

But the good news is that we have decided to extend our trip through August. We'll be leaving on Sunday the 23rd. Then it will only be a week and a half before Granny comes to visit and Jason comes home for Labor Day weekend.

I was concerned how Ethan would do without all of his therapies for a few weeks but it seems like he's making some big strides. He is now holding his own sippy cup and drinking from it. And the other day I was holding him up and he took steps (with me still holding him) to turn around to face me! I was so excited. I've been trying to work with him a lot but it's been hard to spend much time in this small apartment before going stir crazy.

We've got lots of fun coming up over the next couple of weeks. Jason has a three day weekend this weekend so we're going to do a bit of exploring around Fayetteville (children's museum, animal ranch, etc.) and maybe take a drive out to the North Carolina coast. Next weekend we've booked a hotel for two nights in Myrtle Beach, SC and I'm so excited. I've always wanted to go there and it will be fun to experience the beach in the summer -- normally we visit Daytona Beach, FL in November so it will be quite a different experience!

I'll try and post every few days on here without pics and then when I get home at the end of the month just post blogs filled with pictures.

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...

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....
 We have traveled around the SE for lacrosse tournaments in the past but this year we had the opportunity to travel to Denver, CO for one. I think it was one of my favorite. We tried to make it a family vacation as well, so we traveled in early the day before and spent some time exploring.  We headed down to Rock Park in Castle Rock and did a little hiking.  See that big rock in the background? Yup, the boys climbed all the way to the top. Ethan and I made it to the base of the rock while Jason, Jack and Wyatt climbed up top.  Ethan and I messing around waiting on the other boys.  Photos of the boys up top.  Our first game was an evening game, so we had most of the day to explore and get used to the altitude (which definitely got to the boys once they got on the field). The fun part of having good friends on the same lacrosse team is you get to explore together. We all drove up to Red Rocks to expl...
