Jack's 7th Birthday Party

 This past Sunday we celebrated Jack's 7th birthday, which is actually tomorrow (September 14).  We got a big bouncy for the weekend - which Wyatt LOVED.
 Jack headed straight out into the backyard once he got home from school last Friday afternoon.
 He even got Ethan out there with him.

 Look at that smile!
 The boys had so much fun - as long as there wasn't too many people in there.
 Jack and Wyatt thought it was more fun to deflate the "castle" as Wyatt called it, and walk on top of it.


 Brother's laughing...
 ...playing...
 ...being crazy and having fun!
 It was a Plant's vs. Zombies birthday themed party (video game).
 The zombies are attacking the plants!!!
 
 The candy side...
 ...and the snack side.
 Time to sing ... unfortunately the cupcakes were too tempting for our neighbor so I couldn't get a good picture of just Jack and his cupcakes.
 "Happy Birthday to you!"
 Blow out those candles and make that wish.
 Did someone say cake???
 Let Mommy get it ready for you.
 Now that they are all sugared up it's time to play.
 Jason and Matt enjoying the backyard patio and watching from above.
 Time for some presents.
 Savannah was so excited to give Jack his present - which was a bow and arrow.
 On to the next one.
 Halo toys.
 And of course the Lego toy - which Jack put together all by himself while Daddy put together the Halo toys.
 Another Halo toy - perfect for when the friends are over so no one fights over toys.
 Of course Wyatt thinks it's his.
 We took full advantage of having the "castle" all weekend long and enjoyed some quality family bouncy time before we had to roll it up and take it back.  We had a great birthday party and look forward to what year 7 brings to our oldest joy!
Happy Birthday, Jack.  We love you.
XOXO

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...
 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...

Ethan's Eye Appointment

We had Ethan's first eye appointment this morning to look at his lazy eye. And, as usual, he is proving to be amazing! The doctor gave us some really great news. He said Ethan appears to have a bit of farsightedness but that it's fairly common for this age and he sees no need for glasses. Both of his eyes are healthy on top and bottom and that the lazy / cross-eye is fairly typical for Down's babies. At this point, he sees nothing that needs to be dealt with, as it's not a constant issue and he seems to correct himself pretty quickly. We'll go back at the beginning of October to have his eyes looked at again, unless we see any dramatic changes between now and then. But the doctor seems to think he'll be just fine and it may even be something he grows out of. Jason and I are relieved that there is one more typical Down's issue that we don't have to worry about as of yet! We're looking forward to a fun filled weekend that hopefully included some ...
