Wintery Weekend

Well, so much for our warmer than normal predicted winter. We've been cold for about a week now and even had snow over the weekend and now freezing rain. At least we're all comfy, cozy at home! The boys were loving playing with Daddy and I just couldn't resist snapping away. Wyatt has discovered bananas in a mesh holder. Between him and Ethan, I can't keep enough of them in the house!



The many faces of Ethan - what a ham! But I particularly like the expressions on Wyatt's face in the background.



It's been fun to watch Jack progress with his Legos. At first, Jason had to build everything for him. Now, Jack gets right in there and creates and plays on his own.

I had to show off Ethan's new way to watch TV. He pulls himself up onto the box and then hangs there - sometime with his chin resting on his hands.



Sunday we got some snow and the boys loved it. It wasn't enough to do anything with but it was pretty to watch. Ethan was fascinated by it but Wyatt wasn't really sure what all the fuss was about!








Jack, as usual, helped me with my Christmas sugar cookies. It's so funny that he loves to help me bake but won't eat any of it. I keep thinking that's going to change, but he's 5 and won't even try something if you say it's sweet.




He sure is proud of his work, though!



The remote control Alaska Airlines airplanes Nana sent home for the two bigger boys have sure been a hit. Jack and Ethan control them and Wyatt chases after them. Then Jack helps rescue Ethan's plane when he can't get it to back up! They all three played for a good 30 minutes (at least) together at this game and I loved watching it.




Ethan and Wyatt will either be the best of friends or constantly arguing. Right now they each need to have what the others got but still love to give each other loves.




Here's Jack back, hard at work decorating his frosted cookies!




Here is Ethan making Wyatt laugh hysterically.

Like I said, they're either loving each other or taking away the others toys!



Tonight we were giving Jack and Ethan a bath and Wyatt couldn't keep away from the tub so we decided to toss him in there too. They liked it until Ethan started getting to excited. It's not really a big enough tub for all of them, but it sure was cute to see!

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....
