LJ's 2nd Birthday Party

LJ turned 2 years old on Saturday, October 13!! We had a birthday party for him at Little Gym this year... Little Gym is basically like a gymnastics program for toddlers. LJ takes classes at Little Gym every week and really enjoys them (and is really improving in his 'gymnastics!'), so we thought this would be a fun thing to do for his birthday (and keep our house clean!!)

Our little birthday monkey!


Practicing his hoops!

Time for introductions - everyone circles up and shows us their favorite move... 

LJ got a little shy and just stood there! Well, until after his turn, and then he kept showing us his jumps!

And maybe some dance moves!


Circling up and doing activities together.
Time for some gymnastics!

Playing with Will in the circle thing!

LJ got to sit in the middle of the parachute while everyone circled around him turning it and singing happy birthday.... he loved it!


Then some playtime under the parachute!
Balance beam... LJ has gotten so much better at this!

Eagle Jr and Quincy





The food and cupcakes...
And decor...
Time to eat and sing Happy Birthday

Was so cute to see all the little kiddos eating at a table like this... 


Evan just looked for arms the whole party! Got Aunt Funny for about an hour then on to Gigi!
And finally cupcake time!


LJ did so well - really blew out his candle!
Happy happy 2nd birthday to our precious baby boy!! We love you so much LJ!!

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... Ellie's first little mini-crawls: h ttp://www.youtube.com/watch? v=xm3GTgjZXbU And she has mastered the roll-to-sit move!

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...
