I have soooo many photos and things to share but have had a hard time getting back into the blogging thing. Jason left Tuesday afternoon and we miss him terribly. Luckily, we've been so busy with activities and hanging out at the pool. This should help make the time go by faster! At least until fall -- but then Jack will be in preschool and that will help.
The first weekend Jason was home we had a BBQ. We invited a ton of people, but luckily, it ended up being only a few. It always seems like a good idea to invite everyone but you have more fun when it's more intimate. Anyway, these are the photos from the BBQ. These show our friends that live in the front of the neighborhood. Dan and Jason were in the same Army unit until just recently, but he, too is on active duty and currently only home on the weekends until he get's deployed next year. So Kellie and her girls are in the same boat as me and the boys and we are getting together weekly for dinner (plus hanging out at the pool a lot). The kids get on really well, so it's nice to hang out with them.
We also hung out with our next door neighbors, whom we really liked, only to find out that they are going to be moving soon (within the neighborhood but out of this section). And the house next to them is for sale and the one across the street is under contract. Pretty soon, we'll be the only house in the cul-de-sac that has residents! Anyway, our neighbors have twin 7 year olds and Jason and Hunter have become good friends. 
The kids played until about 11p so by 1pm the next day, Jack was exhausted. One of the things Jason caught the kids doing was throwing toys down the stairs to the basement. Now we have a few holes and dings in the walls. Jason was not happy but what can you do?
This is a photo of Ethan's first bubble bath. He really liked it!
Now that we have the projector set up downstairs, Jason and the boys spent all their time down there. It's nice and cool down there. And one of Jack's favorite things to do is race around through the rooms (you can make a nice circle through the theater room, the hallway and the game room). Ethan had fun crawling around and exploring. He found his way into the toy box and spent quite a bit of time in it.
Most of our time was spent at the pool. We would make something for dinner and eat at the pool and then swim and play for about 3 hours before heading home to put the boys to bed. Nothing like sun and playing in the water to wear the kids out and make them sleep well! I have so many pictures of us at the pool that I'll be posting them over the next several days. For now enjoy these.....
