Happy 4th of July!

Went to the Robinson's House this morning to watch the Rollingwood Fourth of July Parade and party in the park with all our friends. It was a great time- although a little on the warm side ;)

Group shot of everyone in front of Laura and Eagles house getting ready to watch the parade... fun group!!

Cousins!!
Little Eagle and LJ in their precious matching rompers from Queenie! 
Ready for some golf!
Kate helping LJ with the bubble-lawn mower... we never got it working!

Finally a good place to write with chalk (our drive way has rocks and doesn't work!)

Riding a tricycle...

Loving a big hug from his cousin Kate!

Laura and I - pregnant (17 & 33 weeks) with the next round of boys and HOT...but looking very patriotic!! 

Back home for a very happy lunch! LJ loves putting on these glasses- He calls them his broken glasses (missing a lens), but he still insists on wearing them all the time!

A Visit to the El Paso Zoo- Our first time!

Image
We started out the year with a family outing to the El Paso Zoo- and my good friend Sara, Ava, and Oliver joined us!  Oliver and Ava had been there before so he was our tour guide!  We were pleasantly surprised by how many great animals were there! We will definitely be going back! Lots of zebras- and they were hanging ostriches... LJ just observing while Gigi points things out... Oliver and LJ checking out Zebras... Ok the giraffes were definitely MY favorite- watching them drink water was so funny (and a little sad!)...  Gigi, LJ, and Ava looking at the funny little animals... Just funny... Lobos!! The world's largest rodent- gross! Looking at the reptiles... There were also lions, tigers, lots of birds, sea lions, and more!! Think we had more fun than LJ- but hopefully he will be more excited every time we go!

Fun with Christmas gifts!

Image
We got the new fun game for Christmas called Pie Face- and the point is basically to keep turning a knob (as many times as you spin) until someone gets the 'pie' (pile of whip cream) in their face.   LJ had been dying to play and asked all the time- Evan was also very excited, until he saw what this was about!! Then not so interested! So LJ went first!!  Here is some video from our game...  http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=2hLYeaneyOI Poor LJ had the worst luck!! He got hit with the whip cream 3 times in a row- and after only a few turns of the knob each time! He took it like a champ though! Too funny!  Barrett's turn!  No pie in his face! Celebrating! His next turn... got him on the second turn! LJ LOVED this!  I don't know how, but I managed to turn that thing about 30 times without getting hit with the whip cream! But I was ready for it!  Evan refused to play- and actually didn't like us play...

Ellie's 2 Week Well-Check

Image
 Ellie is two weeks today!! And when I took her clothes off in the morning for her two week appointment, I was surprised to find her umbilical cord was gone!!! Yay (and finally!)! Although I still have no idea where it went (gross!). I am thinking maybe it fell off when I changed her diaper in the middle of the night - and maybe the dogs found it (gross again!). But at least it's gone!! Excited to start giving better baths, any outfit, etc without having to worry about the cord! Overall, we had a very positive 2 week appointment! Dr. Hargrave said she seems to be doing very well, looks very alert (she was awake during the entire appointment!), and is even on the advanced side of the number of expressions she makes (maybe she will be an early smiler!). The only mild concern was that she had not gained her birth weight back yet. BUT the doctor said not to worry yet since she seems to be happy and doing well otherwise, and we will talk more at her 1 month well check. She h...
