Evan's 1st Birthday Party

We celebrated Evan's 1st birthday with a Star Wars' themed party (in honor of his nick-name EWOK) on Saturday, August 17th. So much thanks to everyone who helped celebrate the first year of this precious boys' life!

Here is the invitation for the party, as well as some pictures of the decorations. 

Food table...
AMAZING EWOK smash cake and Star Wars Cupcakes - Thank you so much Karyn!! You're incredible!

Party favors- Saber Sticks and flip flops



Collage of Evan's monthly photos next to his birth announcement... what a year! 


Here are some pictures from the party...
So happy I got this picture (although it was forced from LJ who just wanted to take his shirt off and go outside)... it's the only one I have of LJ in clothes or in their cute matching Darth Vadar shirts! 
Guests arriving... Piper was the coolest chic around! LOVED her shades! 
Eagles! 
Birthday boy with his Aunt Kelly and Uncle Dan...




This is where Evan spent the a lot of the morning... in Capi's arms! 



This was the most amazing huge bubble maker- I think I was more amazed than the kids... and they were really amazed!! Thanks Queenie and Grandad!! 



Bubble just broke on them... fun! 






We had little pools out, and a slip and slide...
Sliding into the baby pool... too much fun! 


But not as much fun as the slip-n-slide!! 







Looks like a content little Dylan!
Amazing picture!! 
Birthday boy making his rounds- thanks for holding him Karyn! 
Painting star magnets ...

Or, like Ines, munching on star magnets!!
Emi... looking especially beautiful in her matching outfit with her little sister Ines!!
And some of the boys played some ball!

And they took a break to eat a little  (or have a little picnic on the stairs, as LJ said!)
Sang asked the kids who could give her the biggest smile... I LOVE these of each of them! How cute!


LJ
Dylan


Eagle Jr
Ben
I feel like I can see these kids sitting just like this 10 years from now...and how cute is Kate's smile!! 
A tired Calcy dog! 

Cake smash time!!


The Ewok really made Evan laugh!  







Angie, Waylon, and Bear
Barrett and Evan with Howard, Ann, and the 6 week old Caroline


A little taste of a cupcake?! 

Calcy was so tired from all the activity, she didn't even move when papers landing by her head! 
Saying good bye, and playing a little piano...

Gave the saber sticks to everyone one their way out the door so no one could get hurt doing this while here... I can only imagine what would've happened if we started with these! 

Bye Robinsons! 

Naked J-bird didn't want to wear his clothes... but loves his flip flop party favor!! 
Adults at the kids table coloring with them! 

LJ, Sophia, and Bear making more magnets


Happy birthday Evan... can't wait to see what the next year brings. We love you so SO much!

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...
