Visit to Granny's House

On wednesday we drove to Houston for the day to visit LJ's great grandmother, Granny, and family that lives there. We got to see Aunt Betsy, Aunt Nancy, Grant, Sarah, and Rebecca.
LJ and Eagle got to rode in the back seat of Aunt Funny's (Laura) car together, and were so cute chatting to each other as we drove! They are both such talkative little guys!!

Then when we got to Granny's, there was a very exciting surprise visit from Santa!
LJ was not happy that the scary man with the beard showed up here too- so he stayed a safe distance away and in Queenie's arms the while time he was there!!



All the other cousins really enjoyed the visit and the opportunity to remind Santa of their Christmas wishes!!






Queenie took LJ outside to play in Granny's beautiful yard



Here we are with LJ's cousins Lauren,


And Kate!



When we went back inside, LJ insisted on sitting on his Aunt Funny's lap
while playing!



Thank goodness little Eagle isn't jealous! He even gave LJ a big hug while he was sitting there!! Love cousin hugs!



Then little Eagle taught all his cousins how fun playing with, and inside, the dog kennel is!








Thanks for a great visit!!

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress...

Yay! http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=0cmXfOE3GrA Five days of crawling... she is so obsessed with the t...

Mother's Day Celebrations

What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
