Little Getaway For Mom

 As some of you may know, I was able to slip away for five days for a little girl's trip with my girls from Seattle.  It was such a nice break to have some time just for me and to share it with these lovely ladies was just icing on the cake!!

They all flew down from Seattle while I flew from Atlanta and we met up at the Los Angeles airport to start our cruise.
 I don't have a lot of photos, as Michelle quickly became our resident photographer. I'm still trying to work out how to download them from Shutterfly onto my computer to use but until then I'll share the few I have.
 It was so much fun to be silly, stay up late, giggle, share and be together. We headed out to Catalina Island, CA and then down to Ensenada, Mexico (my first time to Mexico believe it or not).
 It's crazy to think that we've all been friends since middle and high school.
 Michelle and I were even roommates after college for a year.
 We stopped at this cool former casino in Mexico and enjoyed margaritas (this place claims to be the birthplace of the margarita) - YUMMY!
 Cheers to my best girlfriends!!
 We all got comfy slipper socks from Coleen and I loved the idea of taking a photo of our feet in our socks by the water. It was difficult to get five of us in the photo with the water in the background but we sure had fun getting the right pose!!

 We ate so much food on board and it was so delicious. Here we are enjoying tea time!!
 It was so relaxing and enjoyable, I can't wait to cruise again and I can't wait to get back to Seattle soon to visit.
The cruise ship takes LOTS of formal pictures and for the most part we passed on purchasing any of them but this one was so good that I couldn't resist.

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...

Last Days of Summer Vacation

I'm back...it's been a crazy past few weeks but then what's new. We were dealing with tummy issues for the boys last week and after spending each cleaning up the messes all I could bring myself to do at night was lay on the couch! On top of that, I've been working out 3 days a week for an hour and a half at a time and that has been wearing me out. Oh, and I've started a new business selling Willow House so my free time has been limited. But I've been enjoying it and a happy mama makes for a happy family! Now we're enjoying our last day of summer vacation before Jack starts Pre-K tomorrow, which is the equivalent to what kindergarten was for me back in the day. Jack is excited to get back to school and see his friends and learn "big kid stuff," and I'm excited to get our routine started for the school year. Plus Daddy should be home on Thursday and that will help tremendously! I can't believe he's been gone almost two years. It wi...
