Catching Up

 Jason has been traveling almost non-stop since the end of July that I feel like I've barely been able to keep it together with getting kids to and from activities.  And of course my blog posts fall, so I apologize and will treat you to several posts as my penance.
 Deer hunting season with bow's and & arrows just kicked off so a few weeks ago Jason and Jack were out back practicing in preparation.  And of course, Wyatt wanting to do everything that Jack does, wanted a try with Jack's bow and arrow.
 He did pretty well with Daddy's help!
 High five's.
 This is how you know you live in a house with boys - even the nice furniture gets overridden with toys!  Wyatt did the exact same thing with my beverage cart. But I secretly like it.
 I have always wanted a full length mirror for our bedroom so for my birthday Jason got me one, which I just love leaned up against the wall leading to the bathroom.  Of course, it's not the most convenient as our closet is on the OTHER side of the bathroom but at least it looks good in the bedroom.  I had three empty baskets that even though there is nothing in them, I think look good tucked in next to the mirror.
 I painted and redid the master bedroom back in the spring but we're slowly adding all the finishing touches.  We still need curtains but since there is only a green space behind us and no direct light into the room, we surprisingly don't "need" them. But I found these gorgeous lamps to go on the bedside tables (the old ones were way to short).
  I had these made for each of the boy's room's and love them!!


 My latest project thanks to Pintrest is a map marking each of the places Jason and I met, married, honemooned and live.  I initially planned to hang it on the wall but then placed it at the foot of the bed and I love it.
 It goes well with the lantern next to it.
He gives me a run for my money but I just love this sweet little face (along with the sweet faces of the other two!!).

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.
