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...

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....
