Happy birthday Grandad and Aunt Funny

On Grandad's actual birthday, January 29, we got to go to Queenie and Grandad's house to celebrate Grandad and Laura- and eat some amazing home-made chicken fried steak (thanks Queenie)!

LJ celebrating!

Blowing out candles...
Being silly opening presents!



Evan entertained himself by playing in the fire place
Laura opening a VERY special gift from Queenie- a print that hung in Barrett's bathroom growing up! Laura had been looking for it for a long time, and Queenie found it! She got one for our boys too! Laura and Barrett teared up- so very special!! Thank you Queenie!! We love it, and it will be hanging in the boys' bathroom soon (just like it hung it their dads!).

LJ still celebrating!


And then on Laura's actual birthday, February 1st, Eagle put together a wonderful surprise for her (especially because it included us celebrating with her!).  She didn't know until about  4:40 pm, but Eagle arranged for the girls to get manicures and pedicures with her, and then we met our husbands for a wonderful birthday dinner at Austin Land and Cattle. It was so much fun!

Happy birthday!!

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

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...
