Aunt Patsy Visits!

We were so so blessed and happy to have Aunt Patsy come visit us for a few days! She arrived on Tuesday morning with just enough time for us to grab our traditional Firehouse subs before picking LJ up from school!
LJ was so excited to see her at pick up! He came racing up to show her something he'd made that day!






LJ trying to show us his zombie shirt for the picture... not too clear though sorry!










Post-nap visit to HEB... I am a mom with free hands when Aunt Patsy is in town! 
Buddy bucks time!  Evan is starting to get the concept!


Wednesday we met Queenie for lunch at Luby's! Delicious and so fun to catch up!
Evan is playing peek-a-boo the whole time I am trying to get a good picture! Ha!
Wednesday evenings we usually host a group of couples/ kids from our church at our house, but this week most attendees canceled. We took advantage of the smaller group and decided to go out to dinner instead! It was a wonderful evening with just five of us- including Aunt Patsy- and such a fun night out.

Got home and had to take a picture of Calcy watching TV for Tio Sergio (Aunt Patsy's husband). He loves this dog and her TV obsession as much as Aunt Patsy loves babies! It is really funny though!



And a hug from Calcy to dad!

And all too quickly our visit is over... BUT not quite yet! We decided to keep the fun going and fly back to El Paso with Aunt Patsy! So Thursday morning, we went right from picking LJ up at school to the airport!


Singing in the backseat as we drive there!



LJ was SO excited to go on the airplane and to El Paso! He told everyone in his class about it, and his teachers told me he wouldn't stop talking about how he "was going straight to the airport from school and onto an airplane and to El Paso!"
Trying to keep the boys entertained before boarding...



The flight was completely full, unfortunately, so it was a tight arrangement! I only bought LJ a seat so Evan was technically a 'lap baby' - good luck with a 14 month old 'lap baby' that just learned to walk and is ready to GO! We got a whole row for the 4 of us- but it was a lot of work!! I bought LJ Finding Nemo to watch on the iPad. This was good for about 45 minutes, but not the whole flight!



Evan- entertainment via food!!!








And after a long hour and half flight - that I COULD NOT have done without my aunt- we arrived in El Paso!  Tio and Gigi were both there waiting for us to arrive, and Gigi had a pretty cute Halloween light up head band on too!







Evan walking with Tio and Aunt Patsy!









Aunt Patsy- thank you so much for such a full, fun, uplifting visit! We love you and our special time together! And thanks for sacrificing a calm and relaxing flight home to fly with us!!  Please come back soon!!!

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...
