Monring with Aunt Delly's Horse

One of the highlights of our Seattle trip was going with Aunt Delly and Uncle Jason to see Adele's horse Rocket. Jack was very excited and had no fear at all. For Ethan, it took a bit longer to warm up to the animals. He clung tight for quite sometime, while Jack got right to work feeding Rocket an apple and then helping Aunt Delly to get him ready to ride!












Jack jumped right on Rocket with Aunt Delly and before long, was riding by himself!



























We finally got Ethan to warm up to Rocket, which is a great relief, as I really want him to do Hippa Therapy (OT and PT while on a horse) in a couple years and it would be awful if we waited until then to introduce him to horses only to have him be scared and not try it at all. At least now he has been introduced and we can get him more familiar over time.













Jack LOVED every minute of this day and when we left, Rocket gave him a little kiss goodbye (or so I like to think!).







Later that evening I got together with my girls and had a fun afternoon/evening catching up with everyone. I'm looking forward to going back in September for our 20 year HS reunion. Do we really look like we graduated from HS 20 years ago? I'm so lucky to have these gals in my life. Can't wait for our next girls trip somewhere fun!

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....
