No Tricks Just Treats

Getting ready for All Hallows Eve.

Bowl one of three ready for the trick-or-treaters.

Dressed up and ready to open Halloween cards from Nana & Granddad.

Ready for some fun!

We ALWAYS start our Halloween night out at Publix. They do such a great job of treating the kids to fun and candy. Jack started off with a little put-put -- his favorite.

Who wants to fish for some candy???

And Daddy is more than happy to help out with a cast or two!

Here we found Ethan's game! He got both bean bags in the hole, then took his candy from the bucket and managed to get that in the hole too! Guess we'll be getting a bean bag toss for the backyard now.

Ethan's superpower is to make a hole in one in a single leap!

We are fortunate to have such great friends in the neighborhood. We always get together for a dinner of mummy dogs before heading out to trick or treat together. What a good looking group. I love how our pirate friend can't take his eyes of Ethan!

Let the fun begin! The boys all had a good time and Ethan actually ran into a friend at one house - his physical therapist from school. He seemed quite proud to know someone when the rest of us were all saying to each other, who is this and how does she know Ethan?

Wyatt had a lot of fun too - until it got too late, then all the scary costumes started to show up and he kept plugging his ears and saying, "scared, scared."

Jack's loot...

...all sorted out. This brings back so many memories of my own Halloween's as a child, as I did the exact thing.

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...

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...

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...
