The Boys

 The blog site has changed so it's going to take me a bit to get used to the new layouts.  Until then, I hope you just enjoy these photos of the boys.
 Wyatt wants to be just like his big brothers and copies everything they do!  Here I was watering the front yard when Jack came home from school one afternoon and these two decide to run through the sprinklers together.
 You can see Wyatt wanting to do everything that Jack is doing.

 Here he is trying to walk down the front yard like Jack, but he goes down on his belly because he's not stable enough on his feet to walk down.


 They had so much fun!
 And got so messy - covered from head to toe in wet grass!
 They both jumped into the bathtub immediately after these photos.
 Jack has really been enjoying school.  He comes home everyday wanting to do his "homework."  He told me that he didn't really have homework but that he wants to do work anyway.   Here is made this dog all on his own.  He cut all the pieces out and taped them together and it looks really good.
 Wyatt loves to spend time with Ethan, even when Ethan is in time out (usually for hitting him or taking one of his toys away from him).
 Now that Jason's shoulder has gotten better he has decided that he wants to start hunting with a bow and arrow.  And, of course, he had to get one for Jack so they could do it together.
 Jack is loving it.
 And so do his neighborhood friends!

 Jack has gotten pretty good too.  He can now hit the deer target in the heart.

 Jason took Jack to his first rodeo this fall and they had the best time.  Jack had to get a cowboy hat so that he could fit in with everyone else.
And here is my troublemaker.  This one is ALL BOY.  Here he dragged the chair over so that he could climb up so that he could get whatever was on the side table.

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 ...
