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

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.
