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...

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...

Busy week

It's been a busy week with little things here and there, which is getting me ready for the busy summer ahead of us with gymnastics, swimming and all Ethan's therapies. Whew, I need a break from just thinking about it. We did have a nice walk down to our community playground this afternoon. Ethan couldn't stop laughing on the swings and the slide (he couldn't get enough of the slide) and Jack made a little friend! Great afternoon. Speaking of therapies, Ethan starts his occupational therapy next week and I'm so excited. We got the therapy notes back from his evaluation and, while I'm not positive on how I'm reading it, the scores say from poor to very poor. We have been very lucky that Ethan hasn't had any medical issues and so far he seems to be doing well with responding to his therapies, so I really want to make sure he has the best of everything. Today has just made me a little blue thinking about Ethan not being 100% of what other kids are and ...
