Jack's Preschool Graduation

Where does the time go??? Friday morning, Jack "graduated" from preschool! Jason had a knee doctor appointment that he was unable to reschedule, so he took Ethan (I didn't want to have to deal with both him and Wyatt if I didn't have too, plus it's good for him to get one-on-one Daddy time).

This is Jack entering his school (it's part of a very large Baptist church) and I was so focused on getting a good shot of the church behind him that I didn't notice that his zipper is coming down or that his shirt is coming up! Good job Mommy.
Wyatt and I dropped him off in his classroom and then found a seat in the sanctuary. Wyatt did really well and even enjoyed sitting on the seat next to me for a bit. There was a lot of watch, so I'm sure that helped.


I always thought graduations from anything but high school or college was silly and a waste of time, but as soon as they started playing the music and the kids came in with their graduation caps, the tears started forming and I had to work hard the ENTIRE time to keep from bawling like a baby! It's so hard to see your kids grow up, even though you really want them too.




All the kids sang together and then each class had their own song. I love how Jack stood there singing with his hands in his pockets!!




Then we headed back to his classroom to get him before heading upstairs for cake and punch. Here he got his graduation certificate and his own bible. And after each kid got theirs, they all said the same thing, "can I take my hat off? The pins are hurting my head!"




Jack had such a great time going to school here and he met his best friend Bryce in class last year! We are hoping to get them into the same sport for the fall so that they don't go into shock not being in class together anymore!



Jack had really fantastic teachers this year, Ms. Sharron (above) and Ms. Barbara. And while I'm so glad that I won't have to drive Jack to school anymore, I sure am going to miss this.

But I guess Wyatt will end up here in a couple more years and we'll get to do it all over again. I feel more tears welling up!

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....
