SeaWorld Orlando

 Wednesday we had most of the day together, minus a couple hours Jason had to do a phone call. We weren't sure what we would do but decided SeaWorld would be a good option because it wasn't too big and Jason got free passes through the military.

We saw the dolphin show first and the boys LOVED it. It had dolphins, exotic birds, trapeze artists and the works!

 Here they all got to touch the stingrays.


 Then Jason had to sneak off to do his call so I took the boys on a big roller coaster ride that went through some water at the end. I wasn't sure how Ethan would do but took my chances. I'm not quite sure if he really liked it or not - I know he liked some parts of it - but he was a trooper and survived. And it was refreshing.

All the other exhibits were a long wait in the heat so we headed off to watch the whale show.

 Waiting selfie!!

Wyatt's favorite mammal is the Orca so he loved it, as did the others.


 Then we killed some time until we could finally meet up with Daddy.

 It was a hot day and Ethan walked almost the entire park before we finally had to rent a stroller. But we tried some more rides in the kid area before calling it a day.

 The dolphin pool behind us looked so refreshing we just wanted to jump in!

 Put a fork in us, we were done! Walking around in this heat wore us all out so it was back to the hotel for a nap before dinner.

 We brought the boys skateboards so Jason and Jack skated over to the restaurant across the street from the hotel while Ethan, Wyatt and I walked.

 Then they burned off some more energy afterward before calling it a night. We had a big day coming up - Universal Studios!!




Jack's really gotten the hang of it.

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...

Last Days of Summer Vacation

I'm back...it's been a crazy past few weeks but then what's new. We were dealing with tummy issues for the boys last week and after spending each cleaning up the messes all I could bring myself to do at night was lay on the couch! On top of that, I've been working out 3 days a week for an hour and a half at a time and that has been wearing me out. Oh, and I've started a new business selling Willow House so my free time has been limited. But I've been enjoying it and a happy mama makes for a happy family! Now we're enjoying our last day of summer vacation before Jack starts Pre-K tomorrow, which is the equivalent to what kindergarten was for me back in the day. Jack is excited to get back to school and see his friends and learn "big kid stuff," and I'm excited to get our routine started for the school year. Plus Daddy should be home on Thursday and that will help tremendously! I can't believe he's been gone almost two years. It wi...

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...
