A quick visit from Gigi

Barrett had to leave town for a few days, so Gigi came to spend time with us! Yay!!! She was only here for about 24 hours- but they were wonderful hours for us!!
Evan and I picked her up from the airport on Thursday morning, and we headed straight to a furniture store to do some shopping... 
When we got to LJ's school to pick him up, his face was priceless as he was SO excited to see her there! He gave her the big running hug! It was precious! (note: I do not get these hugs when I pick him up!).

And so it went... I always lose my little man when Gigi is around!
And after naps, we got to go swimming with Gigi for the first time! It was so fun!






LJ trying to splash Evan and Gigi!
And then Gigi and the boys made and played in their fort!
Evan wants in on the action too! 









Time to head upstairs for bed... 
But first they got to read with Gigi! 


And then, all too quickly, the trip was over, and we were dropping Gigi back off at the airport :(
Good-bye kisses for his Gigi!  (Evan fell asleep on our drive so didn't get any!). 


Thank you SO MUCH for staying with us Gigi!!! We love you more than life and had such a wonderful time! Come back soon.... PLEASE!!!

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!

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...
