Spring Break & Easter 2012

 There are a lot of photos in this posting...I hope you enjoy all the action shots of the boys playing.  These are all from our Easter Weekend, which was the last weekend of Spring Break, and Jason had the Thursday and Friday off, so we had lots of fun family time.  Besides hanging out at home, we made a trip into the city to visit the zoo, but it was so crowded.  Jack and Wyatt had fun, but it was a bit too crowded for Ethan.  Except for the panda exhibit and the play areas, he didn't want anything to do the place.
 Anyway, as you can see from these photos, Wyatt is our sports kiddo.  He loves anything to do with a ball - hitting, kicking, throwing.   He's got a pretty good arm, too.





 Jason's been in seventh Heaven playing ball with the boys.  They all love it.  And he and Jack have been tossing the ball a lot lately too, and Jack seems to really like that.
 But Jason is loving his bee's.  Last weekend he was out checking them and so far they've been doing what they are supposed to be doing - having babies and making honeycomb.




 I've been admiring all my pretty flowers.  I love this time of the year when the grass is green and all the flowers are in bloom.  I never thought I would be interested in gardening, but I've really been bitten by it over the past few years.  I can't wait until we get the backyard done and I can start planting my walking garden!!


 There's our little backyard garden.  We have tomato's, strawberries and peppers.  We have a pot on the back deck in which I'm going to be planting lettuce and carrots.  We'll see how that goes!
 Our other big project over the holiday weekend was planting some grape vines.  I think this will be a pretty spot for them.
 Jack loved helping Daddy.

 Here are the boys, Easter morning, going through their Easter baskets.







 And then the hunt was on...

 Every time Wyatt found and egg he would call out, "egg."















 Then it was back to the planting.
 Jason did all the work, as my hand is still in a brace from having a cyst drained.  One more week to go.




 The final look.  I can't wait for them to start growing up and along the wire; it will look so pretty and with the completion of the backyard landscaping, this will soon become my favorite place to spend time.
 I love the view looking down the side of the house.
 Now it's Ethan's turn to play.  He's pretty good hitting the ball too.  Next year, when he's 5, there is a sports team that is for kids special needs that I'll enroll him in.  I'm really looking forward to the busy spring ball filled days.


 Ethan and Wyatt had to wrap up the day playing with the plastic eggs.  They were so cute out there together.
Hope you all had a nice Easter!!!

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.
