Birthday Dinner at Queenie and Grandad's

On Monday night, we got to have a fabulous dinner at Queenie and Grandad's house to celebrate LJ and my birthdays. We missed the Benzons and Eagle Sr, but had a wonderful time!

The boys did not skip a beat from walking in the door and starting to play! I think they have missed all the fun stuff to do at Q & G's!!




LJ found the new rocking horse in seconds! 

Evan walking over to Grandad! He leaves his arms up in the arm as he walks now- very Frankenstein like and very cute!






Evan just chillin' and watching TV with Grandad!

LJ wore this witch hat for a pretty long time!

Locke busy in the kitchen....
Little ones found food!



Kate and Lauren have been helping Queenie make her salad as long as I have been around. I have always loved seeing this! And tonight for the first time, the boys got to do it! Love!!





Then in the middle of our dinner, we had a surprise guest. Well, actually 4! Raccoons came from the roof down a beam and onto the porch right outside the dining room window!  A little excitement for everyone and great view of the animals!





Time for singing and cake!
"One, two, ...."
LJ blew before 3!



Check out spaghetti face in the background :)

Me and my birthday boy!

"Cheeeeeese!"
Kiss for mama!

Happy little Locke- with a spaghetti noodle on his head! Ha!

Evan LOVES sweets! Chowing down his carrot cake!



And finally, present time! Queenie and Grandad got him plush Woodie, Buzz, Jesse, and Bullseye from Toy Story... He was SO EXCITED! He has not put these down!!

Eagle Jr loved all his gifts too! They were so cute!











Thank you hugs for Queenie!

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

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...
