House Updates

 We finally started on our major back yard transformation.  I'm so excited I can't even stand it.
 This is what the backyard looked like before they started.
 Wyatt can't hardly stand all the excitement of having all the tractors and trucks and stuff in the backyard working.
 This is him saying "cheese" as I take his picture.
 We also just got some new furniture for the house finally delivered.  This is our new family room sectional.  It's huge and we had to rearrange the playroom toys and train tables a bit, but we got it all to finally fit (not in this photo) and we LOVE it up there.  Now we close down the main floor about 7 or 8p (or when we get home from the pool in the evenings) and spend the rest of the night upstairs.  The kids play while Jason and I watch TV and then we get them settled into their beds and enjoy the room ourselves.  We can all find our own space on this big guy!
 Starting the big dig.
 Wyatt loved it.
 We then enjoyed watching the trees come down.
 And more digging.
 This is how the yard looked by mid-day.


 Here's where all the trees ended up.
 The kids have been warned to stay out of the backyard as much as possible during all this but they do get out there a little bit when there is an adult out there as well.




 By the end of the first day, this is what the yard looked like.  HUGE difference.
 We also got some new entryway furniture.  A bit more grand than the tiny little table and small mirror we had before.
 This fits the space much better!

I'll keep posting on the backyard as we got and update the boys too!

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...

Busy week

It's been a busy week with little things here and there, which is getting me ready for the busy summer ahead of us with gymnastics, swimming and all Ethan's therapies. Whew, I need a break from just thinking about it. We did have a nice walk down to our community playground this afternoon. Ethan couldn't stop laughing on the swings and the slide (he couldn't get enough of the slide) and Jack made a little friend! Great afternoon. Speaking of therapies, Ethan starts his occupational therapy next week and I'm so excited. We got the therapy notes back from his evaluation and, while I'm not positive on how I'm reading it, the scores say from poor to very poor. We have been very lucky that Ethan hasn't had any medical issues and so far he seems to be doing well with responding to his therapies, so I really want to make sure he has the best of everything. Today has just made me a little blue thinking about Ethan not being 100% of what other kids are and ...
