El Paso Day 2: A day of 'firsts' for Evan

Capi got in late last night so boys woke up to a wonderful surprise! (Well unfortunately LJ woke Capi up first at 3 am with a small coughing fit and then crawling in bed with them!)...


Breakfast time... Here's my newest big eater... Loves his food!


LJ loves this old piano toy- it was actually my brothers! Something to be said for some of those older toys- they really last!!





Playing his music!


Evan in his jumperoo!


Grandma and Gigi watched the boys while I got to go to the gym - thanks so much again! I needed it, and the boys were doing exactly what they like most- playing with Gigi and grandma!
I came home to a happy little squawker hanging on his grandma!


He's pulling up more and getting close to crawling...


Then off to Farrah's for our traditional lunch... Mmmmm! My favorite (other than homemade) Lebanese food!


LJ loves it too...


And Evan got his first taste!! He really liked it! Lebanese blood in tact in the boy- yay!


Then off to the hanger to get ready for our flight to Ruidoso... We were headed there for the weekend and staying at Gigi and Capi's house. LJ got to visit once without me, but Evan and I never have been. So excited to finally see it- especially since its under contract to sell in July- this may be our only chance to stay here!

LJ was SO happy to be around planes- he is a born pilot/ airplane lover!
LJ and Lady McGregor...


Romeo all loaded (everyone's in!) and ready for Ruidoso...


LJ was right at home and flew like a pro- so happy to be flying at all!

And this was Evan's first non-commercial airplane flight! He did very well!


Of course, the in-flight entertainment helped!


Clapping with Gigi!


I got to fly right seat with Capi- it had been a while, and I so enjoyed it! A beautiful flight!


Double tickle time for the boys!


There was a crazy storm and weather phenomena that we flew around...








Good job Evan!


Right after this picture LJ finally took a much needed nap!


Beautiful view


Time to land already- short 45ish min flight! Ruidoso feels awesome- cool!!


Evan playing peekaboo with me on the drive to their house...





Dinner at the club with 2 tired boys up way passed their bedtimes... They did well considering!


LJ in heaven w his Gigi!


A kiss! Precious!





Driving home- more chilly than we expected so LJ and I borrowed jackets from Gigi- except LJ thought his looked better on his head (like a lion!)...


Tired little man- got home and he went straight to bed!

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...
