The Boys

I was just looking through all my photos and realized that I've got so many photos that I haven't posted yet...one day I hope to get caught up. But I'm still playing catch-up from over the weekend.

I did two back-to-back Willow House events (basically I worked all day) on Saturday and then Sunday we got our Christmas tree and I haven't slowed down since.



Here are just a few of the boys playing and with each other. Scout is one of Ethan's favorite toys (it sings and talks to him) and, of course, Wyatt loves it too. But Ethan won't let him have it. Hopefully Santa will bring Wyatt his own.



I can't believe how big Ethan and Wyatt are getting. Ethan is now taking about 13 steps independently and can even hold a small toy when he walks. And he wants to hold our hand and walk a lot more too, which is a big improvement.

Wyatt is crawling everywhere, except what he really wants to do is walk, since all he hears from us is encouragement for Ethan to walk. I wouldn't be surprised if they both start fully walking at the same time. I just wish Wyatt would stay little for a bit longer...


Mommy got a rare chance to nap with Wyatt! His bottom two teeth and coming through so he has been pretty fussy lately. I'm basically a stickler to making him sleep in his crib but it sure is a nice treat when he falls asleep on you. I can see why this is Jason's favorite thing. Unfortunately, I usually have way too much to do to nap for an hour during the day, so I'll take this rare treat when I can! I know these boys are going to be big before too long and not want to snuggle with Mommy.



I love how these boys (for the most part) love to play together. I think Ethan and Wyatt will be really close friends as they grow up. And there is definitely a soft spot in Jack for Wyatt. I can't wait to see how they interact with each other over the years.




Now we're just getting ready for Christmas. We've got the house decorated and the holiday baking started. I hope to post pictures soon. I still need to share our trip to Florida. If only there was more time in the day or another me...one can dream!

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....
