Halloween 2012

We had a very fun Halloween this year (well until after 10 pm- when we realized LJ actually has Croup Virus)!

LJ's day started at school where he got to dress up, carve a pumpkin, go trick-or-treating around the school, and have a little celebration with his class. He had all sorts of goodies and art projects for me when I went to pick him up!
LJ always goes straight to the train table when I drop him off at school... 
I don't know how well he kept his helmet on through out the morning- but there was food on it when I picked him up so it was not part of his evening costume! Next year I will have to do 2 costumes (one just for school!). 


Then we got to go to LJ's friend Emilia's 2nd birthday party! All of LJ's friends dressed up, and we got to go trick-or-treating with them around Emi's neighborhood after the party. The kids all looked so cute!

Family shot!


Sweet brothers!! (of course- I didn't know that LJ had croup and was probably giving it to his brother right here!)

I love that Dylan is holding the A!
Cake time!!

LJ really wanted a good look at this awesome cake (another amazing Karyn creation!)
LJ is very excited... Maybe he remembers how fun this is from his bday!?

LJ is eating really well by himself ! Yum cake!


LJ checking out Elise's oranges... "Hmmm, maybe that looks better than my cake..."
"O well! Back to mine!"
My soon-to-arrive nephew is in there!
LJ loved my whistle- and he learned how to really blow it!

Fully and happy little man!
Time to go Trick or Treating!

Pretty big group of us!
The Robinsons!
LJ off to get his candy!

LJ and Eagle Jr stocking up!
Each house took a pretty long time as the little ones would just sort of stare at the people for a while! I think they started to get the concept of trick or treating, but they were not in any kind of rush yet! 


Evan didn't really get too excited about the whole thing- just relaxed in the stroller with dad!


Barrett pushing Evan, Justin with Dylan on his shoulders, and Eagle pulling LJ and Eagle Jr... what great dads!! 
A high five for a good night!
 Then on our way home from Emi's, we decided to make a quick stop at the Benzon's House

Sweet cousins!

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...
