Jack's 6th Birthday Party

 Sunday we had a few friends over to celebrate Jack's 6th birthday.
 He requested an Army theme so we got hats, cups, dogtags, Army parachutes and water guns for everyone.
 And an Army tank pinata filled with candy!
 Homemade cupcakes that Jack helped to decorate rounded out the event.
 After running some energy off, it was pinata time.
 We started off with the typical hitting of the pinata with a stick...

 ...but after a couple kids tried, the top fell off.
 So we resorted to how it was supposed to be done...
 Each kid grabbed a string and pulled - then filled their hats up with candy.
 Then it was time to sing to the birthday boy.
 Even though he doesn't eat cake...
 ...he had to have one with a candle to blow out.  Is that Ethan eying that cake, knowing Jack wasn't going to eat it?
 Later on we had the neighborhood kids back to watch Jack open his presents.
 He could barely wait to see what he got.
 His friends know him so well - Star Wars Legos were tops!
 Wyatt really wanted to find a good seat in the house, probably so he could grab it all for himself!!


 Jack had his eye on this Lego toy for a long time and Daddy came through, even though Mommy had been telling him he needed to use his own money for this one.  Oh well, I'm sure there are more Star Wars Lego toys that he can buy.
 He got great gifts from all his friends, lots of Legos, Matchbox toys and a BIG Nerf gun!
Thanks to all his friends for making it a very happy birthday for Jack!

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

Last Day in Prague

Our last full day in Prague. We had a late night parting the night before and a very early morning excursion but this was the one I was excited for! We did a similar excursion in Italy and loved it too. This was an awesome city bike tour to the Vysehrad Castle. We stopped for photo ops along the way - including here along the Charles River. But it's all fun and games until someone gets stopped by the Polizia! Before we left on our trip I was told to make sure you stay away from the police, so I was surprised to come up the big steep hill to see Jason stopped by one. I guess our tour guides didn't get the permit to ride in the park (too close to kids and a school). We had all just come up a big steep hill and were separated from the front of our group. Jason stopped to wait for me and the rest of the group to make sure we knew where to go. We had three guides, on leading, one in the middle who pulled away from Jason, and then one at the back.
