More special moments from LJs birthday weekend

What a wonderful birthday weekend for our little 2 year old- and 2 month old! Gigi was at our house ready to play by the time we got back from our Sweet Berry Farm excursion on Friday!  THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING GIGI!!!!


And then Uncle Joe came over to make us a delicious dinner and help out together new gifts - with LJ's help of course!


Saturday morning started with a great visit from Queenie, Grandad, Kate and Lauren! LJ got some wonderful gifts and and a little playtime with his cousins!




Of course Evan had to get in on the cousin action!
smiles for Kate!

Thank you SO much Queenie and Grandad! LOVE my gifts...
So much that I need to get to them and stop posing for pictures!


Silly happy boy!!!

Then off to the Farmers market we went to pick out some cup cakes for LJ's birthday party that afternoon...


Starting about the Wednesday before his birthday, I would ask LJ what he wanted for his birthday, and (don't know where this came from) he started consistently answering "A silly hat!". So after the farmers market, off to the party store we went so Gigi could get LJ his silly hat!!


October is the very best month to find silly hats too (halloween time)- so this was quite an adventure!! I think they tried on at least 50 hats!


Checking him self out in the mirror...


Monkey ears were one of his favorites- probably related to his current obsession with Curious George!


Evan didn't get too into the hat shopping! Maybe next year!


But he did enjoy some quality time with his Gigi while his brother took a long nap!





The rest of LJ's birthday was just perfect with a good nap followed immediately by his birthday party at Little Gym... So many pictures we will give it a separate post...but here is a quick picture- he did wear his monkey ears for most of the party!


Evan was happy after such a fun day -celebrating both his brother's 2nd bday AND his 2 month bday! We got lots of cooing and smiles!


And then he fell happily (and hard) asleep in Gigi's arms!






The weekend fun continued on Sunday! We started our day at another friend, Greer's, 3rd birthday party!

And we ended it by opening presents! LJ got very into opening each gift! He wanted to play with everything (which I distracted him from by showing him another gift to open) and got really excited for each new thing! It was very cute and fun!!





And the final celebration for LJ's birthday was at his school on Monday! He took cupcakes or his class, he got to wear a crown and a sticker, and got a special card from his teachers!

Reading his card as we leave his classroom...

Happy little birthday boy!



Thanks to all for making this birthday so special!

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! 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...
