Fun and full weekend!

We had a WONDERFUL weekend- two of our very favorite visitors in one weekend - it was almost too much happiness for LJ to handle!

Tio Sergio had a class in Austin, so we got a visit from him and Aunt Patsy! They came into town on Friday, and they came right to our house for dinner/ playing / bath time before heading to their hotel.





Then Saturday morning while Tio had his class, Aunt Patsy came over first thing and spent the morning with us.




We had our typical Saturday - Farmer's Market and Vivo- but with a lot more excitement...

LJ insisted on wearing his shades at the farmers market...pretty funny!

With his cousins!

Aunt Patsy's firsts time to the Farmer's Market... so fun!!


Evan wasn't as excited to wear the glasses
Beautiful flowers for Aunt Patsy from Queenie...
She was very excited... !!
Time for some shopping!

And then, as we were about to leave the Farmer's Market... Gigi showed up!!! LJ was SO excited to see her...


"Look, it's Gigi!!"

What a special treat!!


Then on to Vivo...  the ears were a big hit ...

First on Evan...

Then LJ....
Then Kate...
And then Lauren!!
Such a fun and special morning with three amazing women - we are so lucky to have you all in our lives!!


Pre-nap play time...
LJ was in Happiness overload!!
A big hug for Gigi!!



Time to feed Evan- a family event!
LJ making sure that Evan doesn't have a temperature... 

Saturday night after dinner, Aunt Patsy had Holy water from church that she brought over so we could bless the house - and the people in it! She started with the boys... it was very special! Thanks so much Aunt Patsy!!




LJ got very into all the blessings and loved helping her... here he is blessing Dada!




Sunday we had our traditional meal at our and Aunt Patsy's favorite- Firehouse subs...and this time Tio Sergio got to join!!









Then on Monday Aunt Patsy, Tio Sergio, the boys and I were looking for something fun to do out of the house, so we decided to make a quick trip to the Zoo!
LJ actually asked to wear his doggie 'back pack'! 



LJ squatted down to say hi to the wolf... 
Checking out the turtles
The lions!
LJ asked if he could put his back pack back on... funny!
Poor female was not very interested in the turkey and his tail display...
But I was pretty impressed! I have never seen a turkey do that before!
And then the peacock gave us quite a show... it's definitely mating season!   Great time to visit the zoo!
Back at home, time to perform for Evan and Aunt Patsy...




While Aunt Patsy was getting her baby fix, Tio was getting his dog fix! Calcy was in heaven!!!
Sweet hugs!


Thank you all so much for a wonderful visit!!!  Loved it and miss you all already!!!

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...
