Merry Christmas

The tree is ready for the boys.
 The stockings were so heavy that they had to sit down by the fireplace instead of hang on the mantel.
 Looks like Santa came by!
 Is that a t-rex holding a rubber band gun???
 Good morning boys!
 What do you see?
 She must be getting old, for once this big bone was too big.
 Ethan spotted this toy car garage and made a beeline for it.
 Forget opening the stockings, I want to play!
 But we eventually got him opening gifts. He did much better this year and actually WANTED to open them.
 Playing with their Santa gifts.
 These are some happy boys.






 
 Playing with the Pump Rocket that Santa left for the boys.

 After breakfast, a shower, and all our family gifts we took a break and then opened gifts from Nana and Granddad with them on the computer, followed by gifts from Grandma Christy.
 And then Granny Annie on the phone.



 Loving all the toys and gifts!!
 One of mommy's presents was this great plate tower.
 Now I can unclutter my cabinets and actually access all my beautiful plates easily and see them all the time!  The next best thing to a China Cabinet.
 We all gathered for a simple Christmas ham dinner.
 And actually got Ethan to join us - even if he only had a bowl of applesauce!!

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and cheers to a very happy and prosperous New Year!!

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...

 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...

Summer is Lacrosse

 This summer was especially busy for us as Jack played on TWO travel lacrosse teams and Wyatt played his first year on one. We only had one weekend where Jason and Wyatt headed off to Nashville, TN while Jack, Ethan and I stayed here for each of their tournaments.  This was Wyatt's oh-so-happy-to-get-his-photo-taken face before they headed out to Nashville. I just loved the shirt!!  This was the set up we had for Jack's tournament in town. Ethan was happy as a clam with shade and his iPad!!  Jack had a phenomenal first tournament and was directly responsible for almost all the teams goals. He looked awesome and he joked it was because his annoying youngest brother wasn't around. Boys!  Just a few shots of Jack playing.  Summer also means supporting our local professional field lacrosse team, The Atlanta Blaze. Jack and his buddy Zac had the privilege of working with the team's head coach through the local youth Thund...
