Thanksgiving 2012

Good morning! We have so SO very much to be thankful for - amazing family and friends... just can't even begin how blessed we are feeling!
Getting ready for our fun day... first stop, Queenie and Grandad's house for Turkey dinner!



Driving to Queenie and Grandad's house...


Straight to playing upon arrival!

LJ reading with Grandad and Kate
Then Kate took over- what a great cousin!
Evan found his favorite spot at dinner!

LJ got some extra special  dessert... cupcakes and ice cream!
Eagle Jr is always the cutest cup-cake eater!
Kate and Lauren eating at their own little table!

Uncle B..... 
Frog leap!!
Was even funnier in person!
Funny how such a little person can draw so much attention to himself by just smiling!

Successful morning- both boys out as soon as we drove off...
Then after some great naps from both boys, we headed to the McDonnell's house for some more visiting and giving thanks!
LJ is having way to much fun rolling around in this great big ball!


Evan continuing his afternoon nap- a looong one!
Ben, LJ, and Eagle playing with the big ball... 

So fun, he had to come crash into mama to tell me!

LJ and Eagle playing on cars... 

LJ pushing Ben around- and crashing him into everything... they were laughing so hard!!

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...

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...
