LJ's 3rd Birthday Party

We had LJ's 3rd birthday party at Kiddie Acres - a fun amusement park for little kids! We have never been there before so thought this would be a great opportunity! And LJ had a fabulous time!

The invitation (online):

We had to wake both boys up from their naps to make the 4 pm party... but they were both in great moods and ready to play!

Robinsons taking a ride on the train
LJ and Eve got on the boat ride, and let Evan ride behind them! These pictures crack me up because it looks like they are on a date and Evan is the little brother tagging along! They are too cute!



LJ's new friend from WHPP, Thomas!




Then on to the Ferris wheel ... I must admit, I was pretty surprised LJ and Eve jumped right in together and never looked back! I was a little scared, but these too were too busy chatting it up to worry about anything!
So I took Evan in our own car... He seemed to enjoy it for a while, but then just wanted to stand (and he had to stay seated) so he got a little annoyed!



Then time to take a train ride! Gigi spent most of the first hour of the party taking LJ on all the rides (along with my friend Aryn and precious Eve!)
Very fun, but it was HOT out there (as you can tell from Evan's red cheeks!)

Time for planes (again! they did this one a lot!)




Time for singing, cake, and an attempt at a group picture...







 LJ and Thomas snuck in some bites of icing before I got a chance to cut the cake! Partners in crime!


Pinata time! LJ's first one ever I think! The new pinatas (well, for me anyway) just have strings so everyone gets to pull on it - safer than bringing out a bat with 3 year olds I guess! And the kids seemed to enjoy it!






It took 2-3 rounds before all the prizes and candy came out- but the kiddos were pretty happy to grab every thing!

LJ found M&Ms - his favorite!!

Eagle Jr found play dough and some cool shades!
Sweet moment with Karyn and Kate!
Okay... back to the rides! Merry-go-round time... this one has benches or horses!
Loved seeing all these precious faces as they came around!

Everyone was getting tired, but they insisted on more rides (and we still had some tickets so let them!).







An attempt at a family shot before driving home! 

What a wonderful celebration and happy birthday for my little 3 year old!! Thank you so much to everyone able to come out and make LJ's birthday so much fun!

And thanks Sang for the AWESOME picture/memory above, and thanks to both Sang and Queenie for all the pictures you shared! xoxo

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...
