Random Thoughts

 We enjoyed a lovely week off school last week, thanks to Spring Break.  I'll post Easter pics soon but here are just a few random photos of the boys and stuff.
 This is a school shirt Ethan wore home from school the day of their fun run - isn't he cute in that gigantic shirt?  His bus driver told me that she got the privilege of walking with Ethan around the track and that she loved it.  I'm so glad that everyone seems to enjoy his company so much.  I guess it's true that kids reserve their bad behavior for outside the home.  I don't mind that so much if it means they behave themselves in public, as my biggest accomplishment as their mother is to teach them manners.
 Can you see Wyatt and Stanley back there along the fence?  Wyatt reminds me so much of Jack at that age.  They both love(d) to just go for walks in the wooded yard.  Of course, this backyard is much more treacherous than our last one, and Wyatt loves to walk along the edge of the top slope.  And there is Stanley but don't be fooled.  He's not just being a loyal dog, following his master, he's following Wyatt because he has food and is notorious for giving it to the dogs!
 I seriously can't keep him off that hill.  The worst part about it is all the ticks he comes in with.  We've pulled at least 7 off him in the past few weeks - the worst being out of his ear.
 Jack is loosing his teeth left and right these days - in fact, he just came home from school and had lost his other top front tooth on the bus ride home!
 The tooth fairy forgot to leave him his dollar last time, but luckily the tooth fell behind the bed so I was able to explain that the dollar had fallen behind the bed too.  This is Giraffey, who has been with Jack since birth (it was the first baby item my mom bought, I think even before I was pregnant, or as soon as I became pregnant) and is his favorite animal friend.  He's been everywhere with us, including England, Phoenix and several trips to Seattle and the beach.  Anyway, he was holding onto the dollar for Jack until he got home from school.
 My sweet Ethan!  He looks asleep but he's actually just laying out watching TV.
 I have the best friends!  During Spring Break we got together with Lisa and her daughter Makenna to play at the park and Lisa brought me flowers and little gifts for the boys for Easter.  She has truly been a blessing to me and I'm thankful for her friendship.
 This is Jack and his best friend Kennedy, who lives two doors down.  They have so much fun together and I just thought this was a sweet picture of them sitting together reading.
This is the view from where I sit and communicate to you all.
Hope you all are enjoying Spring in your neck of the woods.

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...

My Week

 Jason left last Saturday (the 4th) for his two week Army Annual Training and we sent him off with a nighttime treat before he left.  I love this photo of my boys, as they all look so happy and the small ones look so grown up - especially Ethan.  We couldn't pry that cup of frozen yogurt away from him!!  And, as usual, when Jason leaves all hell breaks loose.  Tuesday night we were all getting ready for bed and I was getting Ethan and Wyatt out of the bathtub when Wyatt slipped and banged his chin on the edge.  Normally Wyatt gets out first but this time I got Ethan and that just drove him crazy.  He was jumping up and down and as soon as I told him to stop he slipped.  I thought he had just cut his lip or his gums as I only saw blood but then he titled his head up and I saw his chin - too much of the inside of the chin.  I got him dried off, and kept a washcloth to his chin but knew I needed to get him to the ER.  But the last th...

Master Closet Overhaul

 We have this ridiculously large walk-in closet in our master bedroom and over time it has been overtaken with STUFF. So I decided I was tired of looking at the mess and it was time to clean it out and up.  Take a look...  I can't believe it went from this... To this!  I love walking in here now and actually find myself looking for reasons to go into my closet.  Along with just weeding out old clothes and items I no longer wore or needed (you should see the pile of stuff that was donated!) I made some changes to the room too.   One of them was my shoe racks. I've long wanted a tall shoe rack to go alongside the built in shelves but I knew it would never get off my husband's to-do list so I took matters into my own hands!!  It's not exactly what I had envisioned but it works and I'm happy with it. Thanks Target for the shelves.  Over the past few years I have developed a deep love for scarves and now own several....
