El Paso- Thursday and Friday

Our first night in El Paso- got a quick dinner, visited with Grandma, gave the boys a bath, and got them to bed. Evan is sleeping in a pac-n-play in the guest room with me, and LJ is sleeping in a PeaPod tent in Capi and Gigi's room.

Then Capi, Gigi, and I got to spend a nice evening together catching up! I loved it- and all our time together- so much! And I couldn't help but laugh at the position of the deer's antlers behind Capi's head as we were talking! Had to get a picture to show him!
LJ was up a few times in the middle of the night, and he tried to get into bed with Capi and Gigi. But he slept until about 6 am (7 Austin) so not too bad. Evan did very well- not a peep until after 7 am (which would be after 8 in Austin).

Evan quickly found his favorite go-to spot for the weekend: the scale in the kitchen. He would constantly walk over to it, sit on it, stand on it, climb on and off, play with toys on it, etc... he loved this scale!





Friday after naps we headed to a near by park as a quick outing... I loved that Gigi swinging away with the boys! They all looked so cute!












Evan is a full-time walker... and he is busy!!








Fun afternoon!!

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...

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...
