Saturday with Kate and Lauren

After the Farmer's Market and Vivo on Saturday, we had got to have Kate and Lauren, Lj and Evan's cousins,  come spend the afternoon with us!  It was so nice! 

Evan was especially cheesy at Vivo today- it was gross! I missed the shot of him picking up the plate and licking cheese off it, but here is the moment after! 

Back at the house, we for right to playing! First we did chalk on the driveway...

LJ wrote his name the best I've seen all by himself! I was so proud!
Next- time for jumping!

Then a little basketball!
And of course we had to get a little workout in!! 
Back inside to start winding down for nap time...cousins comparing iPad apps!
Evan asked to go right to sleep so LJ got the girls to himself for story time! These fabulous readers took turns reading books to him, and he loved it!

Such a full and fun morning that both boys fell asleep hard- and took record naps! So I got to sneak off with my nieces for a girls afternoon of hot chocolate and pedicures!!!

Our painted toes!!
 Thanks so much for such a fun afternoon girls- please come again soon!!

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!!

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 little early, and caught h

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...
