Our first visit to Sea World

We took the boys to Sea World in San Antonio (about 1.5 hrs away) for the first time on Sunday. We met several of our friends out there: the Almeidas (Oscar, Karyn, Piper), the McDonnells (Mark, Sang, Ben), and Eagle Sr and Eagle Jr (the Eagles!). It was SO much FUN!! We bought season passes and will definitely be heading back there as often as we can make the trip!

We did not tell LJ about going until he woke up on Sunday morning (mostly because we decided to go Saturday night), so it was a lot of information and excitment in the short time before we hit the road!

Quick video of LJ on the drive up there...

Went straight to say hi to the dolphins- they were so cute and friendly! 

 




Then off to the big Shamu Show!!! Amazing (probably more for us than LJ!)!

The whole group (minus Sang who was taking the picture!) 

Evan enjoyed it too! 

Amazing!






A stop at the pond to check out all the cool ducks and flamingos...


 They loved feeding the ducks!

Then a long walk from the pond to the dolphins... Eagle Jr and LJ did so good!

Getting ready to feed the dolphins... 

 Piper and LJ- dolphin face in the middle!! They were so cute!


Feeding time!! 








Then off to the aquariums...





LJ was having so much fun- Ben kept saying "Where's Nemo?"- Which LJ decided was the funniest thing ever. So he kept chasing Ben around, and they'd both yell "Where's Nemo?!" and crack up laughing!! So cute!

Eagle Jr - maybe ready for a nap?! Or  just enjoying the scene!

Piper, Eagle Jr, Ben, LJ.... Love!
Cousins!
"Nemo!"

Outside for a quick picnic before hitting the road back to Austin...

Running up and down the hill... more fun!



So great!!! Can't wait to go again!

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

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...
