Little Getaway For Mom

 As some of you may know, I was able to slip away for five days for a little girl's trip with my girls from Seattle.  It was such a nice break to have some time just for me and to share it with these lovely ladies was just icing on the cake!!

They all flew down from Seattle while I flew from Atlanta and we met up at the Los Angeles airport to start our cruise.
 I don't have a lot of photos, as Michelle quickly became our resident photographer. I'm still trying to work out how to download them from Shutterfly onto my computer to use but until then I'll share the few I have.
 It was so much fun to be silly, stay up late, giggle, share and be together. We headed out to Catalina Island, CA and then down to Ensenada, Mexico (my first time to Mexico believe it or not).
 It's crazy to think that we've all been friends since middle and high school.
 Michelle and I were even roommates after college for a year.
 We stopped at this cool former casino in Mexico and enjoyed margaritas (this place claims to be the birthplace of the margarita) - YUMMY!
 Cheers to my best girlfriends!!
 We all got comfy slipper socks from Coleen and I loved the idea of taking a photo of our feet in our socks by the water. It was difficult to get five of us in the photo with the water in the background but we sure had fun getting the right pose!!

 We ate so much food on board and it was so delicious. Here we are enjoying tea time!!
 It was so relaxing and enjoyable, I can't wait to cruise again and I can't wait to get back to Seattle soon to visit.
The cruise ship takes LOTS of formal pictures and for the most part we passed on purchasing any of them but this one was so good that I couldn't resist.

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...
