Capi and Gigi Visit!

Gigi was able to spend a whole week visiting us- and Capi was in and out through out the week. It was a wonderful time- although it just flew by! Here are a few moments captured from our visit!

Gigi was resting on the couch, so LJ grabbed a book and a chair, and sat next to her to read her a story!

Gigi took us out for dinner to one of her and LJ's favorites, County Line (or the cow restaurant as LJ calls it because there is a talking cow there that he loves!)
Evan has a new 'thing' where he insists on being on someone's lap while at the table. 
Evan is still obsessed with Uncle Joe! He sees him and is attached to him! 
Evan helping Gigi shop... 
And his reward: a cake pop! He even agreed to get back in the stroller to eat it! 

And LJ got his when I picked him up from school... he was SO excited!!! 
"Thank you Gigi!!"
LJ dancing with his bestie Thomas at WHPP Hoe Down! A fun night and so glad Capi and Gigi could join us!
LJ wanted to wear his Woody pjs as his hoe down gear... 
And Evan got his hat and wouldn't take it off! 
Gigi reading bed times stories to a wild little LJ!

Gigi helping Evan get a 'cape' on to fly around with LJ (also wearing a Gigi-made cape!)...

Evan eating with his new Elmo hat on (souvenir Gigi got them at the show that morning)
Family dinner! 

Silly boys! Evan loves and copies everything LJ does!
Maudie's for brunch with Queenie and Grandad... and Evan insisting on his lap again!
Boys favorite part of Maudie's- making a wish and watching the fish in the fountain outside!
And all too soon a week is up! Our last morning with Gigi was Monday, and she helped me get LJ to school. Last pictures before saying good-bye to LJ... 
Evan is saying "Cheeeeese!" 
And after a quick errand, we got a final lunch with Gigi! Evan eating like a big boy!


Not nearly enough photos taken- guess we were too busy having fun! Thank you Gigi and Capi for such a long and wonderful visit! We love you and miss you already!!

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

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...
