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...

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...
