The Last of the Seattle Trip

Here we go, the last of the photos from our Seattle trip...

We got over to visit Grandma Alice and caught her on an especially good day. She enjoyed holding Wyatt while Ethan and Jack played in the room around her. Wyatt really enjoyed his visit with his great-grandmother.

We spent some family time downtown Seattle at the Pike Place Market. It was so nice to visit and enjoy all the goodness it had to offer. I miss the days that I worked within walking distance to the market.

Check out the cool dude fish!

Jack got a hold of the camera and took the photo below. He's getting pretty good at setting up his composition!

Ethan and the Pike Place Market pig!

The boys with some flowers for Nana and Granddad.

I had the pleasure of a girls night with Angie and Janine and her girls. It was nice to have some more time with them and laugh over dinner, as we always do. Plus, Ethan and Wyatt really love Kyla and Morgan.

A couple photos of the boys playing at Nana and Granddad's! They love it here.

We took the boys out for another family afternoon, this time to Alki Beach in West Seattle. It was a beautiful day, if a bit windy. The boys loved playing in the sand and burning off some energy.

Auntie Jake had the joy of introducing Seahurst Park in Burien to Jack one afternoon. It was another beautiful Seattle day and we had to DRAG Jack away. The two of them had so much fun looking for sea glass and exploring up and down the beach.

I love these photos of Ethan and Nana!

We spent an afternoon with Grandma Christy and Uncle Spencer at a pumpkin farm filled with lots of cool stuff....

Can you see how big those truck's tires are? Jack is standing right in front of one.

Look up and you'll see goats walking along the goat skywalk. It was so cool to see.

Hayride....

Ethan hanging out in a barn full of corn kernels. He made a friend or two.

Below is some time spent with Uncle Jason and Aunt Delly.

We spent another afternoon with Nana, Uncle Jason and Aunt Delly at another corn maze.

Jack had great fun leading the way through the maze trying to find the locations to punch holes in the map to show we made it.

We had such a great trip, spending time with great friends and all our family. It's hard living so far away from you all but it sure makes coming back for visits lots of fun.

Hopefully we can get you all out here for more visits too!

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...
