Happy 1st Birthday Evan.... 1

Our precious little Evan is ONE!!! I can't believe it! I will be posting more as we continue to celebrate the little guy this week, but wanted to share a few pictures from his birthday night!

We had the family over for dinner and cake/cupcakes for a mini-celebration tonight. And the McDonnells joined us (basically family as far as I'm concerned!)- and Sang took some beautiful and amazing pictures for his birthday!


A quick photo shoot with his monthly sticker on ... yay for a whole year of these pictures!








 Had to take some pictures of Evan in the same outfit that LJ wore on his 1st birthday!! An outfit Barrett picked out and bought at the mall all by himself one day (best dad!). It's just as cute for round 2!!


Evan is not standing quite as sturdily as LJ was at a year- but close!!  

Cousins!!! Precious cousins! 
 Time for birthday cake!

He liked the candle...

and the cake!!


Ok- I confess... some of this icing was actually put on his face by me! I have NO pictures of LJ with icing on his face so thought I'd get one for Evan! When you don't want them to make a mess/ get all dirty, it's amazing what their faces look like! Give them free range, and there was just a tiny bit of sprinkle on his lip! Haha!! Sums up parenthood I guess!!

Here is a (not too exciting) video of Evan munching on his first birthday cake- and I think the first cake he has ever had (definitely first icing and definitely first 'more than a tiny taste' of anything this unhealthy!!). He seemed to really like it (thanks for getting it Aunt Funny!).

And thanks to Sang for all the beautiful pictures!!!! Below are a few more of my favorites (although I loved them ALL!!!  Too many to post!).
There is a phone on Evan's head- boys are obsessed with an old cell phone I found and gave them!


Kiss for his brother!



I can't stand LJ's face here!!!

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...
