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...

The Olympics

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I've last posted a message. I guess it's been due to a combination of being really busy and not having much to say! Is that a contradiction? We've been letting Jack stay up late since Friday so that he could enjoy the Olympics. He really enjoyed the opening ceremony and has been in awe of the gymnastics. We went to a BBQ on Sunday night and just as we were getting ready to leave they put the ladies gymnastics on and all the kids say and watched. We had to drag Jack away. In other news, we're getting ready to do a really crazy thing. After only two months of having no debt and house payment, we're putting in an offer on a new home! We really had no plans to do this, but when we went to visit our friends on Sunday, we decided to drive around and look at the houses there. We had looked in there back before Ethan was born and fell in love with the place so we thought we'd just take a look and see how much i...

Busy week

It's been a busy week with little things here and there, which is getting me ready for the busy summer ahead of us with gymnastics, swimming and all Ethan's therapies. Whew, I need a break from just thinking about it. We did have a nice walk down to our community playground this afternoon. Ethan couldn't stop laughing on the swings and the slide (he couldn't get enough of the slide) and Jack made a little friend! Great afternoon. Speaking of therapies, Ethan starts his occupational therapy next week and I'm so excited. We got the therapy notes back from his evaluation and, while I'm not positive on how I'm reading it, the scores say from poor to very poor. We have been very lucky that Ethan hasn't had any medical issues and so far he seems to be doing well with responding to his therapies, so I really want to make sure he has the best of everything. Today has just made me a little blue thinking about Ethan not being 100% of what other kids are and ...
