Let's Play Ball

The weekend kicked off with the start of baseball season! And to celebrate, Jack danced around the house in his undies -- just take those old records off the shelf -- a la Risky Business!

Ethan has been doing really great too. He's pushing himself to a sitting position by himself now - all the time! I put him in his crib and the next thing I know he's sitting up. It's great that he can now crawl around and push himself up when he wants. Before you know it he'll be chasing after Jack!


Saturday morning was a very early (and long) morning. We had to be at the ball field by 8:15a for the opening festivities. It was mostly standing around waiting until each team got to parade around the field and have their name called out. Jack was cold and tired to start so it was a bit long, but he warmed up eventually.

Most of Jack's team -- Go Bulldogs!

We were done with the opening ceremony by 9am so we had to kill some time (I worked the concession stand from 9:30 - 11:30a when Jack's game started) and it was a bit drizzily (before turning into a 75 degree day) so we popped the tail of The Beast, folded down the seats and had a bit of a picnic.



Let's play ball!
Go get it
Batter up!


Jack had a lot of fun playing and seemed to understand what to do, although his first time around, he missed home base and went back to first!







It's so much fun to watch Ethan play these days, now that he's doing so much. Here he's playing with the newspaper. Forget the expensive kids toys, the Sunday paper entertains for hours!




Where's Ethan? Peek-a-boo!


As you all know, Jack LOVES to help me with special projects. Today I was cleaning off the dining table and he helped me dust. I left the room and came back to find him on the table cleaning every inch of it! He cracks me up!!

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...
