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...

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....
