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...
 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...
