Summer in the South

We've been enjoying our hot summer with Daddy over the past month and settling into a nice routine with Wyatt. The boys are loving being big brothers and Wyatt is all smiles for Jack, which of course makes Jack beyond happy!




One of the first things we did was buy a shuffleboard table and then quickly bought a bowling game to go on top of it, which makes it more fun for the boys to enjoy the table. Our plan is to make our house the party house, so as the boys get older they will want to spend their time at home.





It's harder for Ethan to play but when we have the energy to hold him up there, he loves it.

I caught him reading a book the other night and it was so cute I had to get a picture of it. He is enjoying his stories so much more now. Before he basically just wanted to turn pages, now he really listens to the story.




The other thing we've been doing a lot of is hanging out with friends. Between BBQ's at home, meeting friends at the pool, and the random at home parties I've been attending, it's been a pretty full summer so far. Jason leaves on Monday to head back up to Ft. Bragg for a month (hopefully not any longer) so it will be interesting to see how much of this I can do on my own with these three boys.





Ethan has really taken to being a big brother and is doing much more big boy things now, like feeding himself, standing up, and trying to walk more!

Jack is loving being the big brother and checking on Wyatt all the time. Such great boys we have!







I've added more to my plate by signing up to be a Southern Living At Home consultant (a bit earlier than I had planned but the opportunity right) and will also be starting to addend an aerobics class as Jack's preschool church next month. I'm excited to start getting out more, getting some much needed exercise, and start bringing some more money into the house!

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...
 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...

Summer is Lacrosse

 This summer was especially busy for us as Jack played on TWO travel lacrosse teams and Wyatt played his first year on one. We only had one weekend where Jason and Wyatt headed off to Nashville, TN while Jack, Ethan and I stayed here for each of their tournaments.  This was Wyatt's oh-so-happy-to-get-his-photo-taken face before they headed out to Nashville. I just loved the shirt!!  This was the set up we had for Jack's tournament in town. Ethan was happy as a clam with shade and his iPad!!  Jack had a phenomenal first tournament and was directly responsible for almost all the teams goals. He looked awesome and he joked it was because his annoying youngest brother wasn't around. Boys!  Just a few shots of Jack playing.  Summer also means supporting our local professional field lacrosse team, The Atlanta Blaze. Jack and his buddy Zac had the privilege of working with the team's head coach through the local youth Thund...
