The End of our El Paso Trip

We left Ruidoso and got back to El Paso late Sunday afternoon. We had a nice and quick flight home- both boys did great.

We had to run to the grocery store to grab some dinner... LJ loves going to the grocery store!
Shopping with Gigi...
Good morning!
On Monday morning, Grandma came over to watch the boys with Gigi so I could go get a workout in... So happy they got to spend another morning together!


 Then Capi and Gigi offered us a ride home in Romeo (their 340) on Monday. We had a reservation on Southwest for Wednesday, but we missed Barrett- and it's hard to pass up a fun ride on Romeo! So Monday after noon we headed back home!

But first we had to get the plane packed and ready for takeoff. There is no shortage of amusement for the boys at Capi and Gigi's hangar!

Ready to go!


We had to avoid pretty severe weather systems, so thank goodness we were flying with the BEST pilots around...We would have never known with the smooth flight we had! 
LJ sat in a big seat (without his car seat as usual)- and he really didn't like it as much because he couldn't see out the windows...
So he watched a movie and played a lot of games on my iPad!



Playing footsie with my babeee!
Storm clouds - just to the right of the wing tip... 
We got to get out of seat belts for a little while (although less of the time than usual)... and Evan LOVED the view!
And LJ got to do some flying!










Time for some more of Evan's favorite game- peekaboo! 
He can play for 45 mins before getting tired of it!  :)
Thank you so much for the ride!!

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...
