Build a bear

We finally took LJ to Build-A-Bear! We have been waiting for an occasion, and then found ourselves walking around the mall this morning (headed in after Farmer's Market just to cool off- it is SO hot here!) with the time to do it!


LJ picking out his animal...


Trying to decide... it was almost a terrible looking bunny! Then (thank goodness) he found a dog he liked better!

Stepping on the thing that fills his dog with stuffing....



LJ picking the dog's little heart ...




Ah... He loved him immediately!

Time to pick out some clothes for him... LJ walked over to a huge selection of outfits/ gear and......

Immediately picked up this little Texas Tech shirt and asked if his doggie could wear it! Barrett was so happy, and we know Grandad and Queenie will be so proud!!


Then he picked out his shoes....


And he let him ride on a motorcycle that was there (he really wanted it- but the motorcycle was more expensive than the dog! haha!)



After getting the doggie some shorts, he wanted to put him in the stroller... he made me buckle him in and everything!





Then he tried to sit on the stroller too with the dog... not best idea!

Time to make his birth certificate... When I asked LJ what he was going to name his dog, he said "I think Sponge Bob!" Not the most original! I said how about Bob the Dog, and he agreed. BUT he has been calling him Sponge Bob all day... what can I do!?!


We get to keep it...


And they put Bob in his house to take home... that lasted about 2 minutes, and then LJ wanted him out. He has not really put him down since! He even tried to take him in the pool this afternoon- I said Bob could watch, but really didn't like swimming!


Already in the stroller with 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

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...
