Labor Day Weekend

We spent Labor Day weekend with our friends in Hilton Head, SC and enjoyed a lovely beach stay.

Jack was so excited the first night that he woke up every two hours on the half hour like clockwork asking if it was time to get up! Maybe that's why I came home from the vacation so tired.

Jack loved having Myleigh and Melania to play in the water with -- and we could barely keep them out of it.

Ethan and Wyatt were more content to just play in the sand and occasionally let the water run up to their knees.

It was quite a bit of stuff to haul across the street from the condo to the beach but at least it wasn't a long walk.

One day for lunch we ventured out to The Salty Dog and found these parrots for the kids to enjoy.

Wyatt has some big shoes to fill ... but he's trying his best to do just that.

I say it often, and it really is true, his cuteness is his saving grace!

Jason spent a weekend playing with his new tree stand to get himself ready for deer hunting season with his bow and arrow. Jack loved watching him, until he got bit by fireants. Poor kid came running down off the hill onto the back deck fast as a flash screaming the whole way. Then he woke up the next day covered from head to toe in red itchy bumps. We took him to an after hours clinic only to find out he had a bad allergic reaction to the bugs AND strep throat. He never complained of a sore throat or had a fever, but Ethan and I have both been on antibiotics for awhile so I guess it shouldn't have been too big of a surprise. The biggest surprise is that Wyatt hasn't gotten sick at all. Normally you just look at him and he comes down with an ear infection or a cold!

Wyatt truly is all boy and loves anything cars, trucks or sports. He often goes out and hits balls off the t-ball stand we got for Jack (who really could care less about it). The other day, Ethan joined in and they had fun playing together. I just had to watch out and make sure they didn't hit each other (on accident or on purpose) with the stick they were using!

Here is Wyatt, my copycat, sitting on the box the same way Ethan does to watch TV. I had never seen him do that before and it was so cute.

And here is the king of our castle, looking down amongst his people, taking stock of everything!

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.
