End of School Year

 Wow, another school year come and gone. It's going faster and faster.

 At Wyatt's class party he received an award for Team Player.

 Some of his buddies.



 Definitely ready for summer!!

 Then it was on to Ethan's class party.


 Ethan received a Hula Hoop Award for always being "around" to take care of the class. If anything is ever out of sorts, Ethan is the first to make sure everyone knows. Silly boy.

 He did enjoy playing with the hula hoop though.

 And then Jack...end of his 5th grade year, and end of his elementary school career. A bit sad and exciting at the same time. I had to laugh at this photo as they are all sitting around on their electronics waiting for the festivities to get started.

 For the end of 5th grade, the kids walk the hall to the cheering and clapping of the rest of the school, who come out to the halls.

 I know Jack could have cared less, but I enjoyed seeing it.


 And that's a wrap! The mom's and younger siblings on our street meet the kids getting off the bus with a water gun/balloon fight.




 It was a fun way to end the school year. And the kids all LOVED it.

Bring on the summer fun!

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.
