Queenie and Grandad's first night back in Austin

So happy to have Queenie and Grandad back in Austin for a visit! They are only here for a week- but it's wonderful to see them (can't believe it's been almost 2 months!). We celebrated their first night back with BBQ with the family over at our house.

Evan wore his shades to go greet everyone outside... he is very serious in his shades... 
Yay Grandad! 





Playing before dinner...
Kate and Evan 
LJ and Eagle Jr









 

Girls went swimming! 



Dinner time...
LJ being his usual 'animated' self at dinner!
Evan... 
Eagle Jr- best eater ever!! 

And then the boys noticed the BOX! Nothing is as exciting! 









 After dinner, I gave LJ and Eagle Jr a bath- I think their first real bath together... they had so much fun!! I made the mistake of a slight over-pour on the bubbles, and I could not believe what happened with two 2-year olds splashing crazily ... I thought I would never get all the bubbles rinsed off of them! It was really cute!







I always shut the doors for a minute during our bath time and let LJ splash as much as he wants...  Eagle really loved this too!!! I think I was laughing as hard as they were watching this!






And just when I thought they couldn't have any more fun, the hooded towels (aka capes) came out! Longest bath-time ever!




And my precious little helpers came up to help me get the boys dressed and down stairs and then to bathe Evan!!!

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

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...
