End of the School Year Parties

 Wyatt's class party came first and it was a bit different. Normally it's an outside event where kids can just play at whatever activity they want, but this year it was a rainy day so they had to move it inside.  So they stayed with their class and moved from room activity to room activity.
 Action shot of Wyatt bowling!!
 Coloring.
 Mmmm, popcorn.
 Bean bag toss.

After all the events we had a picnic lunch in his classroom, then good-bye school year.

 The following week we headed to Ethan's class party.  Luckily we had nice weather and could play outside.
 Ethan and Gwyn are such good friends!

 I love seeing Ethan interact with other kids to play.
 Lunch time!!
 Next up we came in to get a gift from the teachers.
 Ooooh, what do you have???
 Pig pile on Daddy!

 The last class party of the year was Jack's.  We had some fun outside play time and a Kona Ice!
 Jack had lots of friends to play with and lots of games to choose from.  I liked this one so much that I bought some for home!

 Chalk time!
The we headed inside for some art - decorating a picture of the class.
The everyone got their class award, this year it was voted on by all the other kids in the class and not just picked by the teacher.  Jack got "Team Player."

We were sad to have to say good-bye to Ms. Ellington, she was such a great 2nd Grade teacher for Jack.

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 ...
