Flying to El Paso

We had our first flight as a family of 4 today... And I must say it went great! This was Evan's first time in an airplane!
We left a pretty cold Austin to go to an even colder El Paso- so LJ was bundled up with his lion hat and all! And this was our first time using his 'monkey bag pack'... Or leash! Years ago I remember seeing kids on a leash and judging parents- I am sorry to those parents!!! This thing worked so well- and our boy is safe! Totally worth it!




Evan ready to board the flight...








He drank a bottle during take off, and then took a 30 min nap!




LJ was happy to be sitting with dada (they were in the row right behind Evan and me)! And he was so cute talking all about the airplane.... "Are those the wings?" "Are those the flaps?" Are we on runway 9?" "Are we ready to take off?". He has a great airplane book where he has learned many of these terms- Barrett and I were so impressed -and cracking up!!




Eating snacks and talking!




Then Evan woke up -a little out of sorts but happy as usual!








Loves his octopus (thanks Sang!)








LJ was very into a movie or something on Barrett's iPad!




Stretching boys! They look like brothers! LJ got his paci to help clear his ears (especially since they have some fluid in them).




Evan fussed for about 3 minutes right when we were landing, but that was it! Hopefully we have another great flyer here! And the only time LJ complained was while waiting to get off the plane at the gate- he was ready to go find Gigi!
In the airport- excited to be in El Paso with Gigi!

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...

Mother's Day Celebrations

Image
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...
