New Year

 I love this picture of Jack and Wyatt sitting up at the counter, as this is always how I imagined the boys sitting and doing homework or eating.  Jack got a tablet for Christmas so he's sitting up there playing on his while Wyatt, trying to be just like Jack, is sitting up there using the family tablet.
 Our Christmas turkey wishbone!  Jack, as the oldest, got to choose who he wanted to pull on it with him.
 No surprise that he chose Wyatt.  Wyatt got the bigger piece and Jack was not happy.
 Wyatt certainly can amuse himself while his brothers are at school.  We got the Star Wars Operation game last year and Jack brought it out over the holidays and Wyatt has been obsessed ever since.
 He gets up at the table and pulls the pieces out - you just have to make sure he puts the pieces back.

 This kid cracks me up!  I looked over to find him one morning sitting in the ottoman box playing with the tablet.
 Wyatt's new obsession is the Angry Birds Star Wars game.  He loves to play it on the tablet and now he has the Jenga game.  He's pretty good at it too!
 As most of you know, we've had a rough few days with our dogs.  Stanley has been dealing with tumors for quite while now and last Friday I was sure it was the end.  He hadn't been eating much and every time he drank water he would spit it up.  Then Friday he went outside and wouldn't come in until late in the afternoon. He just curled up in the woods and didn't move all day.  We eventually got him to the vet and we're treating him for sever dehydration and helping him eat more easily.  He doesn't seem very happy so I'm not sure how long he will be with us, so I got a few pictures of the boys with him.
 Not sure why this picture is out of place but I can't move it.



 Other big news for us is that Wyatt got his big boy bed this past weekend.  He seems to really enjoy it.  The first day he napped in it I found him in his fort (the little area behind the dresser under the bed) curled up sleeping.  It was so cute!
Last but not least we are dealing with our second sick puppy dog.  We had been so focused on Stanley that we didn't get Amber to the vet until about a week after we thought she might have broken her toe.  Unfortunately, it turns out that is is actually bone cancer.  She had one of her toes amputated yesterday and we are trying to keep her (and Stanley) as comfortable as possible for as long as we have them with us.

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.
