Helicopter

The boys- I mean Capi and Gigi- have a new toy... an awesome helicopter! They flew it from Florida to El Paso, and stopped for a very quick visit with us in Austin while in route!

But they made it count!! We were at the McDonnell's enjoying our last evening of summer, and so they said they would do a quick 'buzz' (fly over their house) for fun! 

I asked Gigi to take picture of her view....
This is a pic of the new Circuit of the Americas Formula 1 Racetrack from the helicopter... in route to the McDonnell's house...
And here is a pic of the McDonnell's house/ yard/ friends in the pool from about 1000 ft! Pretty fun!

While the boys didn't get to see the fly by, they DID get to meet the new helicopter in person and sit in her for a minute! Can't wait for our rides... very exciting!!! 


Whoa! Exciting! 

Capi showing him the ropes... 




Think they are conspiring?! Ugh oh!


Maybe a little TOO relaxed at the airport?! 

Happy to have is Gigi's hand!




We missed the fly-by because we had to go get them from the airport, but our friends shared these pictures of what everyone there got to experience!

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...
