Photo Catch Up

Wow, has it really been over a month since I posted last??? I would love to say it's because we've been so busy doing lots of fun and exciting summer activities but I'm afraid we've just been living. We have done some fun things, including planting lots of flowers and veggies in our garden and making a Slot Car racetrack table but it seems like the summer just slipped away. Of course, we only had two months, which is long but not long enough. Now we are back-to-school shopping and getting ready for an August 3rd return to school. So here are some photos of the boys from the past month...




Wyatt followed Jack out to the car one day and figured out right away how to climb up into it! I can't keep my eyes of him for a second.

And he and Ethan are just the best of friends - always together, whether they are getting along or not, they are always side-by-side.



Jack spent a week at Vacation Bible School at his old preschool and this is him with our friends following their program at the end of the week.

Then we spent an afternoon at the Big Day Out for kids with special needs. It was so much fun! I love these photos.



I think Ethan in these glasses is my favorite photo of him! And here he is with a hammer to bang and he didn't want to do it. Yet at home we can't get him to stop banging stuff. Figures.....









They had everything....bouncy houses, basketball, skeeball and a baseball to hit. The boys were in heaven!








And then carnival games with prizes. Jason is so good about getting Ethan to do all this stuff. I'm so impatient.




Grandma Christy will appreciate this. Jack got a bucket of Army men and immediately brought them home and set up battles all over my kitchen and breakfast nook! He loves having battles all over the house with them. Pure boy.




I forget when this picture was taken but I remember Wyatt being so hot and tired that he fell asleep in his high chair eating dinner an we couldn't get him to wake up for anything!

And here are the boys celebrating Father's Day with Daddy.






Daddy got a firepit!



And finally, just some random photos of the boys.

Jack loves the puppy dogs (as does Wyatt) and Ethan loves his stuffed dog, Scout.



Jason had his final knee surgery to fix what we hoped was the problem with the constant pain in his foot and it looks to have been successful. Jason reports little to no pain and the pictures of the tendon showed that it was completely twisted around. So we're hopeful to be on the mend!

I hope to post more soon but for now I hope you enjoyed a little snippet of our summer vacation.

Cheers!

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 ...
