The Boys Around the House

Ethan and Wyatt are either the best of friends or are fighting. Usually, Ethan is hitting or pushing Wyatt. Luckily, Wyatt doesn't remember for long and is always back to see what fun his big brother is up to. Their favorite thing is to open the kitchen cabinets and pull everything out. I love these photos of Ethan loving on Wyatt and then the two of them looking at me like cats that ate the canary! Lately, when I tell Wyatt no, Ethan repeats and tells him no while pulling his hands away from whatever it is he's doing.


Here is Wyatt's next favorite place - the dog bed. What is it with all the boys, they have all thought that dog beds were perfect places for them. Here is a rare photo of Amber actually letting Wyatt lay on her. Normally he gets close and she barks at him. But these boys do love their dogs.




I just love when Wyatt smiles with his hands up by his face - he looks almost diabolical; like he has something up his sleeve.

Good daddy/son time!





Ethan waiting for the school bus with Daddy on a rainy day, enjoying the rocking chairs.

It's so cute to see him get on the bus. He sits in his seat by the window and waves like crazy and blows kisses. It's the cutest thing in the world.




Jack and Ethan have been playing together a lot lately. Now that Ethan is walking so much more, Jack has found him to be more of a playmate. Their new thing is to go out front, climb down the front lawn, walk along the sidewalk, climb up the driveway and make their way into the backyard to play on the playset.




Below are some photos of Wyatt when he was really sick. He had a temp of over 104 and was just out. We eventually had to cool him off with wet towels all over his body. It took awhile but eventually did the trick. He's better now, after suffering an allergic reaction to his first round of medicine.




When the fever finally broke, he and Ethan headed outside to play. Here Wyatt is making his way down the back deck for the first time.




And Ethan letting us know where Wyatt was going.





Wyatt's first time on the swings in the backyard.

He loved it!




Jack is doing a great job learning to push and pull with his legs to make himself swing. Even Ethan got on the big boy swing for the first time and did a great job holding on.



Then he and Jack got on the tire swing and had the best time!






I had to take so many photos because they were twisting around so much I couldn't get good views of them at the same time.

Now we're off to enjoy this beautiful weather before the boys go to bed. So happy that Spring is finally here!

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 ...
