Aunt Patsy, Lori, Brianna, and Tricia Ann Come to Visit

On Wednesday, we had a very special group of exciting visitors!! Aunt Patsy, my cousin/ Godmother Lori, her daughter Brianna, and my other little second cousin Tricia Ann came to stay with us! 

We started the visit with a BBQ at our house where my other Patrick and his girlfriend Erica came over for dinner. It was such a fun evening!

And the boys were in heaven! I don't think I held either one for about 7 hours straight on Wednesday (and they were barely out of arms)!! 
LJ in heaven with Auntie Brianna!  When I told him we were going to pick her up from the airport, he just kept saying "I want Auntie Brianna to hold me. In her arms!" He got his wish!
I asked LJ to smile and show me his teeth... he skipped right to showing me his teeth!!
Bedtime... 
Loving on Auntie Lori!
Still haven't held either one of my boys since family arrived!! Haha!

Final bedtime hugs! 
Wave good night!

 A little silly time!

 After breakfast on Thursday, we headed to town lake for a quick walk and then splash pad time...
Yay! 
Evan will never pass up some cuddle time!



Evan had some fun in the water too!



 Back home for lunch...

A quick trip to the mall post nap time... and a popcorn and milk break!
Brother hugs... 
Poor LJ spilled water all over himself and his stroller seat, so he walked out of the mall with no shorts! 
Friday morning, the whole group joined LJ and Evan and their Spanish Music Class (this was our second one).  At the end of class, the teacher thanked me for bringing everyone. She said their lively spirit made all the difference in the class, and it was her favorite yet!

Then we headed to Firehouse Subs for our traditional lunch... must do it ever time Aunt Patsy is in town!
We all loved our sandwiches! Mmmm!

Evan slept through lunch...
Evan got some extra special swimming and bonding time with Brianna and Tricia Ann (while LJ was napping)... 

 
Now Evan's turn for lunch!
Happy boy!
Cuddling and playing in bed... 
More swimming post naps! 
Dada is home- yay!

Dinner on the patio... 


Beautiful!! 




And an early "Happy Birthday" song and cake for Barrett! 
Yay!! LJ was just out of the shower and still a naked j-bird! 
Tricia Ann even played "Happy Birthday" on the piano while we sang! So special!! 

And all too quickly, it was Saturday morning and time to go back to the airport! We had such a wonderful visit, and can't thank you all enough for coming to stay with us! Love 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

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...
