Visit to the Circus

Jack has loved wearing his new baseball helmet ever since he got it this past weekend. And he's adamant about helping me with projects, so I couldn't help but get photos of him accomplishing both things!





On Wednesday we met some of our playgroup friends and went to the Big Apple Circus. Jack had a blast! We were about four rows up from ringside so we had great seats - although it's a small enough event that no matter where you sit you've got a good view.

It was a bit too loud for Ethan (and me too) so he spent almost the entire time with his arms wrapped around my neck!

Trying to get Jack to smile!
If you ask Jack what his favorite part of the circus was he'll tell you the port-a-potties. We had to make at least four trips! After that he'll say the lemonade and popcorn. But he really seemed to enjoy it all.


Tonight the boys were playing around and I couldn't keep Ethan off of Jack. It was so much fun to see these two interact. Every night Jack whispers good-night to Ethan and gives him a little kiss. There's no question that these two love each other.





Ethan has been doing great at getting up on his hands and knees. He's now pulling himself up on the couch (with help) into a standing position and last night he pulled himself up onto his knees on my knee by himself. It's great to see all the advances he's making right now. Not long until I'm chasing him around too!



Jack normally hates having his picture taken (for the most part) but tonight I couldn't keep him from jumping in front of the camera. Every time I tried to take Ethan's picture, Jack kept saying, "take mine!"

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...
 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...

Beach Days

I have impressed myself by getting these pictures posted early today by taking advantage of Ethan's nap and then Jack playing with him! Just a quick note to update everyone, today we met with Jack's preschool teacher and saw his classroom. He's very excited to start school, which I JUST now realized is NEXT Tuesday, not the Tuesday after Labor Day. Wow, it will be so strange to have him gone 3 hours, 3 days a week. But Ethan will love the one on one time and I have volunteered to be a class mom for a couple of their class parties. These are photos of our day trip to Wrightsville Beach just outside of Wilmington, NC. I really loved this area and the boys had a great time playing in the sand and water. It was about 100 degrees that day. I love these photos of Jack and Ethan together. You can see how much these boys love each other. I'm going to have to get these framed! Ethan was having a great time pulling up on Daddy and then looking around to see what he was d...
