Cub Scout Campout

 We had the perfect weather last weekend (upper 70s and sunny) and we made good use of it with the Cub Scout Campout.  Jack and Jason spent the night but the little ones and I joined them during the day.  While at home, Wyatt had fun playing with Jack's tae-kwan-do pads.
 He was so quiet that I had to go in search of him.
 And this is what I found.
 Too cute!
 Showing off his hi-ya moves!!
 One of the cub scout events was making a rocket and then launching them.
This is Jack's rocket - covered in Angry Birds.
 The little ones high-tailed it to the tent.
 They couldn't stay out of it.
 Guess that means it's time to take all the boys camping.

 Waiting to launch the rocket.
 Ethan amused himself with my phone.
 Here's Jack getting ready to launch.
 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 ... blastoff.
 Wyatt had so much fun following Jack around.
 A rare mommy photo - I love snuggling with these boys of mine.
 We had a lot of down time after the rocket launch so Jack spent lots of it by the water, throwing rocks.
Wyatt and Daddy fished.

 Jack was soon joined by his pal Bryce.
 And then Wyatt joined in - always wanting to be with the big kids.
 Ethan didn't want to be left out either and we couldn't keep him out of the middle of the volleyball court.  No one seemed to mind him out there and he never got hit by the ball.  He had so much fun.
It was a great weekend and we all came home with sunburns.

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...

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....
 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...
