Randoms from the first week of December

Any time is good for sliding with these two! They love being outside as much as possible! 


LJ asking if he can catch Evan. I try to let him help me!


Gigi bought us this cute gingerbread house. I had to move it from the bar/ counter area because I kept catching LJ up on the stool sneaking bites!


He is telling me "No Mom, I am just playing with it!"

And one minute later.... BUSTED again!


Evan climbing to get in his favorite new spot at the bottom of the stairs!

He did it!
His shirt says "I might be LITTLE but I'm still the BOSS!" I don't know where we got this shirt (Laura and I share clothes for the boys and have several hand-me-downs), but I LOVE it! It made me laugh all day!!


I can't stand his little body or his little walk! He loves being outside too- cries to go outside- so we spend a lot of time walking around the yard!

A random lunch date with Sang and Kate!

Sharing/ taking each others food!
And of course, holding hands!


LJ opening a book from the Benzons before story time....

Then Evan wants a turn to look at it!


But Evan has to settle for LJ 'reading' it to him. I love these moments
Evan reading a signing book and showing me all his signs. He does so many now (although they each have a unique 'Evan' twist on them)!

So cold outside that I parked outside the garage so we could just ride our bikes/ cars in there! It worked! Boys had a great time! Still cold but bearable!

Mr. Potato head- a new favorite around here for both boys!















LJ still goes to his swim class with Ben and Eagle every Friday afternoon. He is doing well (swimming out to his instructor John in pic below).

For some reason, LJ asked if he could wear goggles this particular day! Not sure why as he never has before, but he kept them on the whole class!
I love this picture of him... he looks like he has been swimming really hard!

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

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...
