My Thankful Life, Part 1

We kicked off the Thanksgiving holiday having lunch with Jack at school. It was fun to join him and all his classmates and their families and see them all dressed up in their costumes.

However, it would have been more fun if I didn't have the little ones with me as they didn't want to eat the food (don't really blame them) and just wanted to climb on everything (Wyatt) or throw things (Ethan). Plus it fell over Wyatt's naptime...

This is Jack's class.

For Thanksgiving we made the long drive out to see Jason's mom and family out in Phoenix. The boys did really well on the drive, minus the first night in the hotel when Wyatt thought it would be much more fun to jump on the bed, laugh at the top of his lungs at 2am and generally keep us all awake until 4am, regardless of the fact that we got up at 6a to head back out on the road.

But we made it there in two days and the boys were so happy to Granny. They especially loved all of Granny's cats! They had the best time chasing them around the house. Not so sure the cats enjoyed the boys as much.

Wyatt is such a big boy now.

Our first day we just spent time with Jason's mom and grandparents taking the boys to a couple parks to burn off all the energy they had kept up during our long drive out.

Granny and Jack making a cake - his favorite thing! He won't eat it but he'll certainly make it.

This is one happy kid.

Even Ethan wanted in on it.

Visiting with Granny G and Grandpa Bill.

The boys just love Granny's house and had the best time running around...

and jumping off the step.

Jack spent a lot of time playing War with anyone that offered. Thanks, Sam, for playing with him!!

Wyatt's favorite activity was definitely chasing the cats!

These photos got out of order but it's Jack and Grandpa Bill playing at a park. Jack had the best time climbing up these pueblos. Can you tell we're in Arizona?

I've got lots of photos to share so stay tuned for more!

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.
