S'mores!!

We have been excited to light a fire in our fire pit since we decided to buy our house! There are many sitting areas around the house, but this one may be our favorite! We decided to invite our friends over this weekend to enjoy our first fire and some s'mores together.

But before our friends came over on Saturday, we decided to give it a test run on Friday evening.
On Friday, he started with damp logs, lighter fluid, and leaves... the fire would get big, but didn't last long at all!




LJ and Evan were both excited to help dad!

Fire is almost out already... boys having fun tossing stuff into it...

Thank goodness we did the test run. We didn't know much about fire pits, but Barrett had it mastered by Saturday night.

Barrett and LJ worked on getting the fire all ready before our friends arrived Saturday evening.
LJ helped me take wire hangers up to use for our s'mores.




My boys enjoying their work! I am excited! What a great spot!


And then after we all ate dinner, the Robinsons and McDonnells joined us for our first attempt at making s'mores! The chocolate didn't melt perfectly, but I still thought they were pretty delicious!


Fun around the fire pit!
Roasting our marshmallows...

Thanks those that came to share in our fun... we had such great time, and we hope to enjoy many more night out here!

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!

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...
