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...

My Week

 Jason left last Saturday (the 4th) for his two week Army Annual Training and we sent him off with a nighttime treat before he left.  I love this photo of my boys, as they all look so happy and the small ones look so grown up - especially Ethan.  We couldn't pry that cup of frozen yogurt away from him!!  And, as usual, when Jason leaves all hell breaks loose.  Tuesday night we were all getting ready for bed and I was getting Ethan and Wyatt out of the bathtub when Wyatt slipped and banged his chin on the edge.  Normally Wyatt gets out first but this time I got Ethan and that just drove him crazy.  He was jumping up and down and as soon as I told him to stop he slipped.  I thought he had just cut his lip or his gums as I only saw blood but then he titled his head up and I saw his chin - too much of the inside of the chin.  I got him dried off, and kept a washcloth to his chin but knew I needed to get him to the ER.  But the last th...

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....
