Snow Day 2011

I had planned to do a New Year's post but Wyatt has been suffering from a double ear infection for the past three weeks and he is just now starting to feel better and sleep through the night. I've been exhausted and barely making it through the day. But, now we're on our second round of antibiotics that seem to be working and I'm starting to feel human again. It's amazing what lack of sleep will do to you!


Last night we got about 6 inches of snow followed by freezing rain this morning, so we are enjoying a snow day, which has turned into another one for tomorrow (schools closed). We enjoyed spending the morning outside playing with the neighborhood.

Have I said lately how much I love our neighborhood and our neighbors? I am so happy that we moved here!



Jason and I commented how we have no snow gear for the boys (who would have thought we needed it living in Georgia?) and then our next door neighbor posted on Facebook that she had extra boots and snowpants for anyone needing them. So Jack was able to enjoy the snow without getting cold or wet. And since Ethan basically stayed in our arms, he stayed dry too!



Our front yard is perfect for sledding, and eventually all the kids in the neighborhood made their way over to sled with us. It was nice to visit with the moms and dads while the kids played.



Here is Jack enjoying his first time down the hill.






Here Jason took Ethan down for his first sled ride, which he seemed to enjoy but wasn't too keen on doing it again!

Later, when Wyatt woke up from his nap, Jason took him for a sled ride too!



Some of you may remember this hat from when Jack was little. I loved it on him and it's just as cute on Ethan. I can't wait to see how it looks on Wyatt in a year or two too.



Here is Ethan walking in the snow and ice. He did it, but wasn't to happy about it, or wanting to keep at it too long. But he is walking so much more and I'm very optimistic that he will be walking all the time soon!




Hope you enjoyed our snow day, we sure did. Now we're getting ready for some soup for dinner and an evening playing the Wii in the warmth of our lovely home.

Love to you all!

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....
