Out And About This Fall

I know, I know...it's been far too long since I've posted last. I need to get on a better blogging schedule but this has been a busier than normal Fall for us so bear with me as I catch up and resume.

 This dog loves the formal living room chairs - especially if he can snuggle up with someone!

 We are always looking for something new and fun to do with the boys. Jason did a little research and found a place in North Georgia where we could climb rocks.

 It was fun to stretch our legs and hike a bit.

 Everyone climbed up the rocks but me.



 Ethan REALLY loved it!

 But the mom in me could only see someone falling.

 The boys could probably do this for hours. I certainly enjoyed the hiking but insisted on getting more padding and proper gear before letting them do more.

 This kid is such a monkey!



 Then it was back to lacrosse. This Fall we had both Jack and Wyatt playing. These photos are from one of Wyatt's games. He was the smallest (and probably youngest) player on the team but he had no fear and would plow through the big kids.

 His coach told us that if kept it up, he should be a really good lacrosse player!

 Following in his big brother's footsteps.


 We have new neighbors a couple doors up that have become really good friends and the boys have enjoyed playing with their kids and especially roasting marshmallows in their fireplace. Hopefully by spring Jason will remove some of our beehives and we can enjoy our fireplace again....


Both of the boys after they each received the dog bone for good plays in lacrosse.

We have our own Stormtrooper!

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...
