Seattle Trip, Part 1

I'm wondering when my posts will stop beginning with an apology for being so bad about posting on a regular basis. But as usual, life got in the way.

Jason had his knee surgery two weeks ago and is recovering well but he can't do anything so I've been taking care of all four of my boys....and I'm exhausted.

But Granny Annie is here for a visit so I've been getting some much needed help and a big break!

Anyway, here are some photos of our first few days in Seattle. The boys LOVED being at Nana and Granddad's house. Wyatt especially loved the car mat above and kept pulling it over himself!




We enjoyed some beautiful fall weather in Seattle and took the boys out and about a lot. Here we went to the Ballard Locks to watch the salmon climb up the fish ladder and watch some boats go through the locks from the lake to the Sound.







Ethan looks like such a big boy standing up looking at the fish!




We took a stroll along the water, enjoying the sun and fresh air.






Jack took this family photo!

Then we drove over and checked out the Freemont Troll!








Then we headed down to visit with Grandma Christy and Uncle Spencer!

The little boys both fell asleep by about 6:30p - trying to get used to the time change was tricky the first several days!!






We also spent some time with one of Jason's best friends - Wade, Tabbie and their kids; Gryphon is 5 and Mia is 8 months (I believe). The boys had a lot of fun playing with them.











Jason and Wade took the boys down to a park to see more salmon and feed the fish. They came home happy and soaking wet.










I think this is my all-time favorite photo of Ethan - it just makes my heart happy when I look at it!




The boys love their grandparent's! I hope to find more free time in the next few days to post more photos from our trip!

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....
