Spring Cleaning

 Hope you all had a nice St. Patrick's Day.  We didn't do anything exciting to celebrate, in fact, I didn't even decorate for it this year.  We have been so hot here lately (in the 80s until yesterday) that it felt like we had skipped Spring altogether and moved right into Summer.  So I focused more attention on playing outside with the boys.  But the silly leprechaun did visit us while the boys were playing and left them a Shamrock with some gold coins tucked inside.

 Jack found the plant and coins at dinnertime!
 Wyatt is always shooting something!

 Even though Jack and Wyatt like to shoot things together, I'm so happy that Ethan and Wyatt still enjoying playing together too!
 I've been in the (sad) process of transforming Wyatt's room from nursery to toddler room.  We've decided not to repaint (too much effort and I really like the green room, especially since both Jack and Ethan have blue rooms) and have found a nice construction truck theme that will work with the color.  I started by taking out the changing table (that we haven't been using for MONTHS) and brought in the dresser that had been in Ethan's room.
 Eventually we will take out the chest of drawers with the hutch on top once we get some shelves to go in it's place.  The next thing will be to take down the Pooh Bear pictures and replace them with the truck pictures.  I love that Wyatt is growing up, but it's also sad to see the baby room that we've had for the past seven years finally get packed up (for good).  Bittersweet....
Since Ethan's bunkbed has drawers and cupboards all over it, we took out the chest of drawers (now in Wyatt's room) so that he has more room to play in his room.  I do want some shelves to go on his walls so I can put his photos and piggy bank out, but for now it works.

My boys are growing up!

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...
 We have traveled around the SE for lacrosse tournaments in the past but this year we had the opportunity to travel to Denver, CO for one. I think it was one of my favorite. We tried to make it a family vacation as well, so we traveled in early the day before and spent some time exploring.  We headed down to Rock Park in Castle Rock and did a little hiking.  See that big rock in the background? Yup, the boys climbed all the way to the top. Ethan and I made it to the base of the rock while Jason, Jack and Wyatt climbed up top.  Ethan and I messing around waiting on the other boys.  Photos of the boys up top.  Our first game was an evening game, so we had most of the day to explore and get used to the altitude (which definitely got to the boys once they got on the field). The fun part of having good friends on the same lacrosse team is you get to explore together. We all drove up to Red Rocks to expl...

Summer is Lacrosse

 This summer was especially busy for us as Jack played on TWO travel lacrosse teams and Wyatt played his first year on one. We only had one weekend where Jason and Wyatt headed off to Nashville, TN while Jack, Ethan and I stayed here for each of their tournaments.  This was Wyatt's oh-so-happy-to-get-his-photo-taken face before they headed out to Nashville. I just loved the shirt!!  This was the set up we had for Jack's tournament in town. Ethan was happy as a clam with shade and his iPad!!  Jack had a phenomenal first tournament and was directly responsible for almost all the teams goals. He looked awesome and he joked it was because his annoying youngest brother wasn't around. Boys!  Just a few shots of Jack playing.  Summer also means supporting our local professional field lacrosse team, The Atlanta Blaze. Jack and his buddy Zac had the privilege of working with the team's head coach through the local youth Thund...
