Happy Birthday Granny

We had our annual visit to Houston for Granny's birthday.  It was a beautiful day, and we had a lovely visit! So glad we got to go and see everyone.

 Missing a few kids, but this is the majority of the birthday bunch!

Father and son- looking so much alike!! Love!
 Evan working hard on throwing a ball (that was as big as him) around the yard!
 Trying to get Aunt Julie involved!
 LJ find a ball to throw to the dog
 Evan hugging on dad and smiling at Mimi (Aunt Nancy).
 LJ rolling on the ball... and then watching how quickly the clouds are moving!
Evan got up on this bench all by himself, then turned around and smiled! So proud of himself- it was really cute! 
So I had to try to get LJ in on the moment- and he co-operated! 
 Time for lunch- Granny let the boys dig into a fruit bouquet she had received for her birthday- they loved it!! Thanks Granny (and hope we didn't eat too much!).
 LJ's favorite- a pineapple and melon flower!
 Time to sing- the boys always get in on the action for singing and cake!
 Granny and Barrett sharing a cute moment!
 Granny and daughters (waiting on Nancy) getting ready for a picture- and I happened to get all their profiles!
A hug for Aunt Betsy!
 The boys were SO tired... but managed to rally for cake!

 Well, sort of! Evan is actually eating his cake with his eyes closed! Haha! Poor baby!
Boys were both passed out within minutes of driving off! And Evan slept until we got onto our street back home (over 2 hours!).

Thanks to everyone for a wonderful afternoon and delicious lunch! And Happy happy 86th birthday Granny! Love you!

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...
