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...

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...

Last Days of Summer Vacation

I'm back...it's been a crazy past few weeks but then what's new. We were dealing with tummy issues for the boys last week and after spending each cleaning up the messes all I could bring myself to do at night was lay on the couch! On top of that, I've been working out 3 days a week for an hour and a half at a time and that has been wearing me out. Oh, and I've started a new business selling Willow House so my free time has been limited. But I've been enjoying it and a happy mama makes for a happy family! Now we're enjoying our last day of summer vacation before Jack starts Pre-K tomorrow, which is the equivalent to what kindergarten was for me back in the day. Jack is excited to get back to school and see his friends and learn "big kid stuff," and I'm excited to get our routine started for the school year. Plus Daddy should be home on Thursday and that will help tremendously! I can't believe he's been gone almost two years. It wi...
