Winter Wonderland

I have been away from the blog for quite awhile, so I apologize, but I've had to mourn the loss of my pictures. Our silly puppy knocked my computer off my lap and even though it didn't fall far, it fell in such a way that it destroyed my hard drive.
 
Luckily, most of my pictures had been posted to Facebook and I was pretty up-to-date on the blog, but I still lost a few and it's taken me some time to get back into my picture taking, blog posting self.  But I'm back, so here we go.


 As seems to be the case, our Mid-Winter Break seems to have a few snow days added to the front-end or the back end. And since it's fairly sunny and warm now (60s, 70 and maybe even 80 by the end of the week) it feels odd to post these pictures of our snow days.


The boys loved the snow and having friends over to engage in snowball fights!
 



Ethan has never been a big fan of the outdoors, and especially not of the snow, so he enjoyed staying inside where it was warm -- plus he had a new birthday toy to play with (when Wyatt wasn't).

And a teeny, tiny snowman. Cute!


It really came down.
 


And it's hard to see, but the flakes were HUGE! I don't know if I've ever seen such big flakes before.
 















Not sure why this picture is out of order but here you see that Ethan finally got some time with his toy!!



Ethan DID NOT like it in the snow out back because the flakes fell on his head (sensory issues).
 

But was an entirely different creature out on the front porch where he was covered!
 


I forced him out and he was happy at first until he really tried walking in it. I think he dislikes it because he felt so unstable with the snow underfoot.


But I had him out long enough to get this great picture of all three boys!
 



More snowball fights to end the day!

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...
