Playing Around

 I seem to blog only in spurts these days, feast or famine!  As I have several posts to add, I guess it we will be feasting - enjoy!

Above is Wyatt playing with his remote Lego car after we put it together.  And below is Jack playing with his remote control helicopter (can you find it in the photo?).
 
 I don't know why, but my photos are loading up in odd orders and I can't seem to move them around, so I guess it will be back and forth between the two.

 Wyatt and Ethan really enjoyed chasing it around the house.
 Even Amber seemed to enjoy it.
 I'm constantly changing up the decor in my home, mostly after I've seen it at someone else's house.  I've admired the family name sign at my friend Betsy's home for years and there was finally a good deal being offered so I ordered one.  I was off in my colors, as I asked for a tan background on the plaque only to sit up against a tan wall.  Oh well, we want to paint the room eventually.  Other than that, I really like it.
  A closer view.
 I found a little globe to go along with a Pintrest idea I found of marking it up with places you've been and the dates.  I haven't started marking it up yet but one of these day's I'll get around to it.

Below is Ethan watching Wyatt and Daddy play with his robot game he got for Christmas. He hasn't shown too much interest in it yet but give him some time and I'm sure he will.
 Here is a closer view of the globe. I wish it was a tad bit bigger but I LOVE the airplane flying over it.
 Serious contenders!!

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...

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...

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...
