Our Summer Seattle Visit, Part 1 of Many

I had meant to get to this a long time ago but life has gotten in the way....school started, Jason left for his two week Army training, we all got sick (Jason with pneumonia), work with Willow House was occupying a lot of my time, excuses, excuses, excuses. Now I'm finding myself with a better work/life schedule so hopefully I can get caught up!

Anyway, these are some photos from our trip to Seattle this past July. The boys and I had so much fun and had beautiful weather.

This first posting of photos was from our first full day and how we spend many of our evenings, out in Nana's front yard running around and burning off energy. It's so nice to see how the boys played well together and really enjoyed their surroundings.

Here they are helping Nana pick flowers from her yard to fill her door bucket with.

And it such a beautiful yard to spend time i.

Ethan really enjoyed his time with Auntie Jake!

Jack is such a goofball sometimes - he cracks me up!

And Wyatt wants to be just like him - everything Jack does, Wyatt does and everything Jack says, Wyatt says. Yet they have such different personalities.

This is why we got Wyatt into gymnastics.

Mom is so talented with her flowers!!

Crazy boys!

The boys loved it when Uncle Jason showed up to play.

Even though we hadn't seen them in months, the boys had no issues seeing, playing and hanging out with their family. I love that they love them so much, even though we live so far away.

And I can't wait to share more photos with you over the next few days...

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...

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...

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...
