Happy Valentine's Day

 I hope everyone had a good Valentine's Day. It was fun this year to help the boys get their Valentine's ready for their class parties. Here is Wyatt signing his name to all his cards.

 Not too bad for 4 years old.

 Next it was Jack's turn.

 We also had Teacher Appreciation this past week so it's been crazy getting Valentine's ready as well as different things for the teachers everyday (along with a school project that Jack had to turn in). We used to have this week towards the end of the school year and I much preferred it.  Too much going on this week and everything is expensive because they bump up the prices for the holiday.  Oh well...

 I did have fun with these Thanks a "latte" cups, filled with a Starbucks gift card and some extra goodies.

 Wyatt did much better at his class party -- still didn't sit at the table with his friends and hung out with me, but he warmed up much faster and seemed to have more fun.

 When we got home it was time to dig into his goodie bag with all his Valentine's cards from his friends.



 Ethan and Wyatt both made me and Jason Valentine's at school.

 Jack with his party loot.

 Here are the boys Valentine goodies from me and Jason. Now that they are getting older it's harder to find stuff for them. And, truth be told, about time to stop getting them gifts all together. I think with all their parties they get enough candy and junk, I certainly don't need to be adding to it.



But they seemed to enjoy what they got.
Happy Valentine's Day from our family to yours!!

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...

Master Closet Overhaul

 We have this ridiculously large walk-in closet in our master bedroom and over time it has been overtaken with STUFF. So I decided I was tired of looking at the mess and it was time to clean it out and up.  Take a look...  I can't believe it went from this... To this!  I love walking in here now and actually find myself looking for reasons to go into my closet.  Along with just weeding out old clothes and items I no longer wore or needed (you should see the pile of stuff that was donated!) I made some changes to the room too.   One of them was my shoe racks. I've long wanted a tall shoe rack to go alongside the built in shelves but I knew it would never get off my husband's to-do list so I took matters into my own hands!!  It's not exactly what I had envisioned but it works and I'm happy with it. Thanks Target for the shelves.  Over the past few years I have developed a deep love for scarves and now own several....
 We have traveled around the SE for lacrosse tournaments in the past but this year we had the opportunity to travel to Denver, CO for one. I think it was one of my favorite. We tried to make it a family vacation as well, so we traveled in early the day before and spent some time exploring.  We headed down to Rock Park in Castle Rock and did a little hiking.  See that big rock in the background? Yup, the boys climbed all the way to the top. Ethan and I made it to the base of the rock while Jason, Jack and Wyatt climbed up top.  Ethan and I messing around waiting on the other boys.  Photos of the boys up top.  Our first game was an evening game, so we had most of the day to explore and get used to the altitude (which definitely got to the boys once they got on the field). The fun part of having good friends on the same lacrosse team is you get to explore together. We all drove up to Red Rocks to expl...
