Family Summer Vacation Part 1

These photos are so long in getting posted -- sorry. I had every intention of staying on top of my posts but as usual, life got in the way. I returned from a trip to Seattle with over 400 photos to download so I have a lot of catching up to do!! These photos are from our family vacation down to Pensacola, Florida, with a few stops along the way!!

Our first stop was The National Infantry Museum at Ft. Benning, GA. They were building it while Jason was stationed there a few years ago, so he was eager to check it out and show the boys. Plus, it was a nice stop along the way to break up our road trip.

Hope you enjoy some fun family photos!!

This is the Bradley Fighting Vehicle that Jason used to command back with his unit in Seattle.

Wyatt's new thing is to plug his ears when he's scared.

After the museum we headed down to Eufala, GA and enjoyed some outdoor family fun with lots of fishing. We spent one day at Providence Canyon State Park, known as Georgia's Little Grand Canyon. It was a lot of hiking up and down steep hills carrying little boys but it was a lot of fun. I can't wait to get back there when the little ones are bigger and will hike on their own.

It was so pretty!

It was a HOT day (Jack took this photo).

There was a homestead on this site years ago and as you walk along the rim you can see all these old broken down cars. It was pretty cool.

Ooooh, a play park!

Now, we're off for a long weekend at the beach with some friends!!!

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.
