Our week!

Started the week off thinking Evan had the stomach flu (we had been around people who had just had it), but in retrospect, I think he may have just laid down too quickly after drinking his bottle (terribly coincidental)!?
But after he threw all his milk up at 6 am on Monday, we took all precautions to contain a possible virus- including keeping LJ home from school! I kept waiting for both of them to be sick, but it never happened!!

After Evan got sick that morning though, I let him get in bed with me. He didn't sleep well for the 30 mins I was there with him, but after I got out of bed to make breakfast, he passed out hard and slept there alone for 4 hours! He has never done this, and looked so cute and little in our big bed!


Then he woke up happy, and never showed any more signs of being sick! Thank goodness!!


Laughing in bed when he woke up...

Happily eating!
Went to stroller strides on Wednesday, and Evan got to sit in the BOB stroller like a big boy for the first time (looking out and not in the car seat)... Enjoyed half the class looking around, then fell asleep hard!


After LJ's soccer class on Wednesday, we joined everyone at Hat Creek for dinner...
LJ playing with bean bags and Ben!


And Evan so happy to be sitting next to precious Kate!!



Thursday we started the day by picking up Gigi from the airport for a wonderful surprise visit!! Spent the morning shopping and playing! LJ was in heaven and wouldn't let Gigi leave his side!!!
And Evan was very happy too!


Thursday night we left the boys at home and went out for a nice family dinner to celebrate my brother's birthday! Mmmmm Vespiao!  Happy birthday Joe!!!

Friday morning we went to see the Easter Bunny- went much better than I expected!! LJ gave him high fives, talked to him, and sat on his lap twice! Not sure how he is less scary than Santa, but I'm glad!!


Boys with their cousin Eagle Jr- all giving each other courage to be with the Bunny!

And as I was trying to get something done on the computer after LJ's nap, I looked up to two little noses balancing on my screen staring at me! When I picked up my phone, he said "I'll be in the picture with Bert and Ernie!" Thanks LJ!

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...
