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...

Busy week

It's been a busy week with little things here and there, which is getting me ready for the busy summer ahead of us with gymnastics, swimming and all Ethan's therapies. Whew, I need a break from just thinking about it. We did have a nice walk down to our community playground this afternoon. Ethan couldn't stop laughing on the swings and the slide (he couldn't get enough of the slide) and Jack made a little friend! Great afternoon. Speaking of therapies, Ethan starts his occupational therapy next week and I'm so excited. We got the therapy notes back from his evaluation and, while I'm not positive on how I'm reading it, the scores say from poor to very poor. We have been very lucky that Ethan hasn't had any medical issues and so far he seems to be doing well with responding to his therapies, so I really want to make sure he has the best of everything. Today has just made me a little blue thinking about Ethan not being 100% of what other kids are and ...
