Our first day with LJ on the Beach

Barrett and I went out to Bahia de los Suenos to meet up with LJ, Capi, Gigi, and Grandma.

This was LJ's first time to Mexico (or out of the country period) and to the beach. Although LJ had spent a few days with everyone here, we were so excited to do everything we could with him in the small amount of time we had!

We started with a little tour of the place, including a visit to the horses and to the chapel on the hill!


He was in awe of the big bell in the chapel!

He was the most excited to see and pet horses that he's ever been! Kept repeating "Nay horsey"!



Surprisingly, he did not like the ocean, water, or even the pool very much! He loved playing on the sides or in very shallow water, but he was really not interested in swimming!

LJ preferred being in his dad's arm to in the water!

Happy as long as dad holds him!


 Then off to the beach we went!





This is about as close as he wanted to be!
Then we found a play ground... LJ's favorite games were jumping into Barrett's arms and bouncing on the raft-thing!


Play time continued a the main house...

I always love pictures in flowers- can't help it!














And his favorite new activity- coloring! Especially with Gigi!

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...

Mother's Day Celebrations

Image
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...
