Busy Fall Weekend

We have hit the perfect weather season in Georgia. We are cool in the mornings and evenings and warm in the afternoons -- perfect for getting outside to play.

We got Wyatt a little three wheeled scooter so that he could play outside with Jack and all the kids in the cul-de-sac.

Jack enjoyed being the one to teach Wyatt how to use it.

Ready to roll.

Ethan enjoyed being out with his brothers but sidewalk chalk is more his speed. I tried to get a photo of him playing but as soon as he saw the camera he made a beeline to see what picture was taken.

Roller Boys

Saturday we headed up into the mountains to visit Burt's Pumpkin Farm to get our pumpkins. We have so much fun at this pumpkin farm and they have a great selection to choose from.

Loading up to find our pumpkins.

Think I'll take this one!

Wyatt thinks he's found the perfect pumpkin.

Or maybe that one.

Jack has a suggestion too!

Two little pumpkins...

Now three.

I love my boys.

Jack was a big help for Daddy.

All hands on deck.

Family photo time.

Look at that smile? And look at those cool white and blue pumpkins!

After all that pumpkin gathering it was time to cool off in the river.

And, as usual, Wyatt is not far behind Jack.

But all I could see was a little one falling into the water, so Daddy helped Wyatt across.

Our fall door.

Closer up to the front door.

Where did that little pumpkin come from???

Jack got an air pellet gun for his birthday so Jason has been teaching him firearm safety and how to properly use a gun.

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.
