Christmas Review

I can't believe it's almost March and I still haven't posted all my pictures from the holidays. It's safe to say we've had a very busy year. So, forgive the late post but here are our Christmas pictures. And what a better one to start with but this one of the boys, all looking at me and somewhat smiling at the same time. I think this might be my favorite photos of the boys so far. I love the way Ethan is sitting with his leg up on the bottom step; he looks about 14 with that attitude.

While Jason and I enjoyed watching National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, the boys decided to write their letters to Santa. I love how intense they were with them.

Then it was time to sprinkle the reindeer food on the front lawn before bed.

I couldn't get Jack or Ethan to join this photo so here's Wyatt leaving the letters and cookies and milk for Santa.

Wyatt's very artistic letter to Santa.

Jack's artistic letter to Santa.

Christmas morning found lots of goodies for the boys from Santa.

And a full tree.

Our annual pictures of the boys coming down and seeing the tree for the first time.

Ethan was very happy to get a Peppa Pig and George toy.

Time for stockings.

Ethan loved that Peppa fell over and giggled.

Then it was time to dig in to the gifts under the tree.

Skylanders from Jack that Wyatt had been wanting forever.

The aftermath...the boys were all very happy.

Jack and Wyatt playing with Jack's Battlebots.

It was very cool to watch them have to get their droids through the maze to fight each other.

Then it was time for Jack's BB8 remote control.

The dogs weren't too sure of it.

But it's a very cool toy.

Ethan loving his binoculars.

And playing with the Seahawks puppet.

It's so rare for Ethan to play with anything other than the iPad, so I had to snap some pictures.

Our family game night. Is it any surprise that Mom and Dad were out first???

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

The Olympics

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I've last posted a message. I guess it's been due to a combination of being really busy and not having much to say! Is that a contradiction? We've been letting Jack stay up late since Friday so that he could enjoy the Olympics. He really enjoyed the opening ceremony and has been in awe of the gymnastics. We went to a BBQ on Sunday night and just as we were getting ready to leave they put the ladies gymnastics on and all the kids say and watched. We had to drag Jack away. In other news, we're getting ready to do a really crazy thing. After only two months of having no debt and house payment, we're putting in an offer on a new home! We really had no plans to do this, but when we went to visit our friends on Sunday, we decided to drive around and look at the houses there. We had looked in there back before Ethan was born and fell in love with the place so we thought we'd just take a look and see how much i

Last Day in Prague

Our last full day in Prague. We had a late night parting the night before and a very early morning excursion but this was the one I was excited for! We did a similar excursion in Italy and loved it too. This was an awesome city bike tour to the Vysehrad Castle. We stopped for photo ops along the way - including here along the Charles River. But it's all fun and games until someone gets stopped by the Polizia! Before we left on our trip I was told to make sure you stay away from the police, so I was surprised to come up the big steep hill to see Jason stopped by one. I guess our tour guides didn't get the permit to ride in the park (too close to kids and a school). We had all just come up a big steep hill and were separated from the front of our group. Jason stopped to wait for me and the rest of the group to make sure we knew where to go. We had three guides, on leading, one in the middle who pulled away from Jason, and then one at the back.
