April Birthday's

 Sorry that I've been absent with my posts, it's always hard to balance family and computer time.  Plus there was a little Italy vacation thrown in there for good measure!  Ha ha.

Before Jason and I left, we decided to celebrate Jason's birthday, since we were going to be gone from the boys on the actual birthday and we also had the pleasure of having his step-mom and my mom in town.  We were originally going to celebrate Wyatt's birthday too but he decided it should only be for Daddy.  Well, truth be told, he threw a fit about people watching him so we decided to wait on his.
 
 We had a nice dinner at the local Cajun restaurant followed by a cake at home.  His traditional apple pie would follow upon our return home.
  
I found the perfect gift for Jason from the boys. Ever since Jack was a baby Jason has always referred to the boys as his little bears (Wyatt insists he is a puppy dog each and every time) and himself as the papa bear, so when I found this shirt I HAD to get it.  And he loves it!!
 
 I also found a really cool book about Star Wars art.
 
 Our other April birthday came at the end of the month and our youngest turned 4.  Where, oh where, does the time go?  I'm constantly telling him to stop growing up, but he refuses to listen.  This is Wyatt's birthday hug for Daddy.
Poor Wyatt had no wrapped gifts from us this year (why is wrapping a gift so hard for me to do???) but he could have cared less.
 He was so excited to share with Jack what he got.
 Garden Warfare video game.
 Present #2 was a great find of my on our local Facebook Yard Sale page - this awesome castle.  Daddy put it together while I was out and about in the afternoon and it has been a BIG hit ever since!
 Next up we had cupcakes before dinner.  Hey, it's a birthday, we can do what we want!!
 The neighbors came over to sing and take a cupcake home with them (and truth be told, I really did not want those cupcakes here.  They were a watermelon flavored cake and frosting and it was really artificial and fake tasting.  I've come a long way in my homemade family cooking these days).
 Happy Birthday To You!!
 Seriously, 4 already????
 A rare photo of Mommy, so even though there's nothing of Wyatt except the back of his head, I'm keeping it so that the boys have pictures of me to look back on!!
 And finally, gift #3 before bed.  And what was I thinking when I got this gem of a gift?!?
 A Spiderman arm disc thrower, what could possibly go wrong in the hands of a four year old?  Or a 40 year old for that matter.  :-)
 Daddy "trying it out" first.
 Then strapping on the weapon of mass destruction.
 Watch out --
Nobody is safe now!
Happy Birthday sweet Wyatt.  We love you so much.

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

Last Day in Prague

Our last full day in Prague. We had a late night parting the night before and a very early morning excursion but this was the one I was excited for! We did a similar excursion in Italy and loved it too. This was an awesome city bike tour to the Vysehrad Castle. We stopped for photo ops along the way - including here along the Charles River. But it's all fun and games until someone gets stopped by the Polizia! Before we left on our trip I was told to make sure you stay away from the police, so I was surprised to come up the big steep hill to see Jason stopped by one. I guess our tour guides didn't get the permit to ride in the park (too close to kids and a school). We had all just come up a big steep hill and were separated from the front of our group. Jason stopped to wait for me and the rest of the group to make sure we knew where to go. We had three guides, on leading, one in the middle who pulled away from Jason, and then one at the back.
