Like Father, Like Son

* WARNING GRAPHIC PHOTOS BELOW *

We had quite the excitement last night but for once Jason was home when a child had to be taken to the hospital.

The boys were horsing around when all of a sudden a blood curdling scream came out of Wyatt who ran into the room holding the back of his head and crying - blood EVERYWHERE.

Turns out he somehow hit the back of his head on the side table in the living room.

We were able to get the bleeding to stop but it was a very deep wound and a big bump was forming, so off Jason and Wyatt went to the doctor. Why do these things always happen at night???

Turns out he needed three staples but everything else checked out fine.

So they bundled him up to keep him from moving.

He told Daddy that he felt like a burrito!

Once the initial shock of the accident wore off he was in high spirits - as you can tell from this photo - much like when he split his chin open...I'm sensing a pattern here.

He received three staples without any kind of numbing, as they said that would hurt more, and he didn't even cry!

This little one, I fear, will always be giving me a run for my money. I knew as a baby that he was the one I'd have to watch the most and that he was just like his father!

We have quite the collection of those teddy bears they give out at the hospital but the one that Wyatt brought home last night (shown in the first picture above) is my favorite with the scrubs and the mask! Wyatt was very excited to show it to me.

It was a late night so he got to fall asleep in the playroom. And there is nothing more comforting than the love of a puppy dog!

Let's hope the excitement is over for a very long time.

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...

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...

Summer is Lacrosse

This summer was especially busy for us as Jack played on TWO travel lacrosse teams and Wyatt played his first year on one. We only had one weekend where Jason and Wyatt headed off to Nashville, TN while Jack, Ethan and I stayed here for each of their tournaments. This was Wyatt's oh-so-happy-to-get-his-photo-taken face before they headed out to Nashville. I just loved the shirt!! This was the set up we had for Jack's tournament in town. Ethan was happy as a clam with shade and his iPad!! Jack had a phenomenal first tournament and was directly responsible for almost all the teams goals. He looked awesome and he joked it was because his annoying youngest brother wasn't around. Boys! Just a few shots of Jack playing. Summer also means supporting our local professional field lacrosse team, The Atlanta Blaze. Jack and his buddy Zac had the privilege of working with the team's head coach through the local youth Thund...
