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

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.
