August Randoms

I missed posting so many random moments this month, so decided to combine them all together!

Play ground fun! 
LJ has gotten very brave on slides! He goes down the biggest ones without hesitation now! 
Jumping on the trampoline with Ben and Kate- Kate's first time on the tramp




Evan still loves the rocking plane - a gift from Granny to LJ years ago!



Boys reading books together... They sat like this all by themselves! So cute! 
LJ and Barrett went to a class at Lowes where they built this plane together (it's Dusty from the movie Planes). 








Flying Dusty around
I was making saber stick party favors - and Barrett and LJ decided to test them out! (aug 12)












Post cake baths on Evan's birthday...



Evan and Locke took a both together
Then LJ and Eagle Jr had their turn!
Splash time!
Barrett always puts LJ to sleep- and I love how sweet LJ looks when B picks him up to take him to bed... 
And I usually take Ewok to bed... 
'Cruising' on EVERYTHING! No steps yet though...
Evan was excited to see his balloons in the morning and played with them as I got his bottle ready!

Memory lane... This was LJ on his first birthday! (Sang took this amazing picture too!)
Evan's birthday gifts = Exciting new things to play with for both boys!!
Evan beating his drum sticks together!
Got a gift from Queenie and Grandad ... drum set with lots of other fun instruments to play... both boys love it!








LJ wore it the drums all around the house!
Still going.... 












Still going.... 
Leave LJ in the car alone for 1 minute, and he gets in the drivers seat as fast as he can! No trusting this monkey! 

Peek a boo... 


Another great gift arrived from Queenie and Grandad...



The boys love this water table so much- even without water in it!

A Visit to the El Paso Zoo- Our first time!

Image
We started out the year with a family outing to the El Paso Zoo- and my good friend Sara, Ava, and Oliver joined us!  Oliver and Ava had been there before so he was our tour guide!  We were pleasantly surprised by how many great animals were there! We will definitely be going back! Lots of zebras- and they were hanging ostriches... LJ just observing while Gigi points things out... Oliver and LJ checking out Zebras... Ok the giraffes were definitely MY favorite- watching them drink water was so funny (and a little sad!)...  Gigi, LJ, and Ava looking at the funny little animals... Just funny... Lobos!! The world's largest rodent- gross! Looking at the reptiles... There were also lions, tigers, lots of birds, sea lions, and more!! Think we had more fun than LJ- but hopefully he will be more excited every time we go!

Fun with Christmas gifts!

Image
We got the new fun game for Christmas called Pie Face- and the point is basically to keep turning a knob (as many times as you spin) until someone gets the 'pie' (pile of whip cream) in their face.   LJ had been dying to play and asked all the time- Evan was also very excited, until he saw what this was about!! Then not so interested! So LJ went first!!  Here is some video from our game...  http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=2hLYeaneyOI Poor LJ had the worst luck!! He got hit with the whip cream 3 times in a row- and after only a few turns of the knob each time! He took it like a champ though! Too funny!  Barrett's turn!  No pie in his face! Celebrating! His next turn... got him on the second turn! LJ LOVED this!  I don't know how, but I managed to turn that thing about 30 times without getting hit with the whip cream! But I was ready for it!  Evan refused to play- and actually didn't like us play...

Ellie's 2 Week Well-Check

Image
 Ellie is two weeks today!! And when I took her clothes off in the morning for her two week appointment, I was surprised to find her umbilical cord was gone!!! Yay (and finally!)! Although I still have no idea where it went (gross!). I am thinking maybe it fell off when I changed her diaper in the middle of the night - and maybe the dogs found it (gross again!). But at least it's gone!! Excited to start giving better baths, any outfit, etc without having to worry about the cord! Overall, we had a very positive 2 week appointment! Dr. Hargrave said she seems to be doing very well, looks very alert (she was awake during the entire appointment!), and is even on the advanced side of the number of expressions she makes (maybe she will be an early smiler!). The only mild concern was that she had not gained her birth weight back yet. BUT the doctor said not to worry yet since she seems to be happy and doing well otherwise, and we will talk more at her 1 month well check. She h...
