March Fun

 I realize it's been awhile since I've posted and the last things I did share were our Spring Break and Easter pictures -- but I neglected the whole month of March!!  So, here are some random pictures of the boys playing and some of the things we did.

 The boys always want to do whatever Daddy does so here they all sat up to paint some miniatures - one of Jason's favorite things to do.


 Wyatt has quite the eye for it, despite being so young.

 The boys always love getting holiday cards from Nana and Granddad.
Here is Wyatt getting his St. Patrick's Day card while his brothers are still at school.



 Digging in to find his coins!!

 March is often when we find ourselves working out in the yard because that's typically when it starts to warm up here in Georgia.  This Spring we had A LOT of rain, which always bring the hillside down to a certain degree. Over the past few years we have slowly been adding plants to anchor it in. Some plants work and some don't, but we've decided that two of our favorites are rosemary (we fell in love with them during our trip to Italy last April) and Creeping Thyme.

 We are hoping the Creeping Thyme will really spread out over the edge of the hill and down the steps, as that's where a lot of the erosion is taking place.


 We also like the look of Phlox and the bees love them. They are a lovely boarder plant so we added them to the top of the hill with a row of rosemary below.









 I'm working with the boys to learn our phone number and address so I wrote it on the back door in hopes that seeing it every time they walk by will help it sink in.

 Then they can just write it over and over below.

 There is always time for some outside fun!

 Now THIS is one cool dude, with his sunglasses and skateboard. Love it!



 Ethan was trying to hula-hoop. 

 But there's more than one way to play with it.


 Then it was time to ride the skateboard. 

 And here are two randomly placed pictures of Wyatt playing with the castle pieces Daddy has been collecting.





 Now Wyatt is trying to hula-hoop too.

 Don't worry boys, Mommy can't do it very well either!

 Ethan and Jack finally opening their St. Patrick's Day cards.


 And counting coins.

 Then we FINALLY gave Ethan his birthday presents. Only two months late. Bad Mommy.  But it's kinda nice to have a child who doesn't care about presents or getting a toy every.single.time we go to the store.


 Educational...

 ...and fun!













 I'm happy that the boys still all love this playset.

 Jack doing some bounce backs - practice for lacrosse.

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...

My Week

 Jason left last Saturday (the 4th) for his two week Army Annual Training and we sent him off with a nighttime treat before he left.  I love this photo of my boys, as they all look so happy and the small ones look so grown up - especially Ethan.  We couldn't pry that cup of frozen yogurt away from him!!  And, as usual, when Jason leaves all hell breaks loose.  Tuesday night we were all getting ready for bed and I was getting Ethan and Wyatt out of the bathtub when Wyatt slipped and banged his chin on the edge.  Normally Wyatt gets out first but this time I got Ethan and that just drove him crazy.  He was jumping up and down and as soon as I told him to stop he slipped.  I thought he had just cut his lip or his gums as I only saw blood but then he titled his head up and I saw his chin - too much of the inside of the chin.  I got him dried off, and kept a washcloth to his chin but knew I needed to get him to the ER.  But the last th...

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....
