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...

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....
