Saturday Fun

On Saturday, we skipped our usual trip to the farmers market since it was so cold.  Instead, we went to Barrett's favorite store- Academy!  And I think this might be LJ's favorite store too! Evan and I took a little longer to get in the store, and we found them like this (in helmets)! Ha!



Then Evan got to try on new hats...



After a few more errands, we headed to our family lunch at Vivo. And today was a special day because we were celebrating Eagle Sr and his mom, Laurie's, birthdays!

Happy cousins at the end of the table!


Where are LJ and Eagle??
There they are!!! Too much fun!


These boys- I love them!


Mouth full of food!


Time for cake! Love it Laura!! Such a cute cake!

Boys helped Uncle E blow out the candles!








The birthday mom and son!


Evan waiting for his cake!

All the boys enjoying their cake! Really really enjoying every bite!






Laura is wiping a LOT of cake off Lockes head in this picture- haha! Was a funnier moment than picture does justice!



Then after naps, we got straight to decorating! LJ was so excited - I had promised him before nap that we would do the tree! And he really was a help! We had Christmas music playing (thanks B!), boys busy digging through boxes, and me trying to keep everyone on track and Evan from not taking off wiht things (not the easiest!). Fun afternoon though!









LJ would get an ornament and tell me where he wanted it put (if higher than he could get it!)...Here he is pointing!

Then they found the nativity scene... LJ was so cute explaining it to Evan!! I wish I had recorded it!




Then my friend Jessica came by with her 2 kids- Connealy (1 month older than LJ) and Duke (7 months).  LJ and Connealy were so so cute together! She helped us decorate, and LJ had the best time playing with her!




It was definitely a little crazy, but we managed to get the tree done!  Now time for presents!
LJ reading to Duke... 



And Evan trying to read to Duke too?!

And then Barrett and I headed out to celebrate Eagle Sr a little more! Fun night with friends- happy happy birthday Uncle E!

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...
