Easter Hunt and Dinner with Family

On Easter after naps, we headed over to Queenie and Grandad's house for our Egg Hunt and Easter dinner.

Queenie had all these precious baskets laid out for all the grand kids! We are too lucky/ spoiled! 
Evan and Lauren eating goldfish and relaxing on the chair together!

Time to start the hunt! Everyone released to the back porch!














After all the eggs were found, it was time to break the cascarones (confetti eggs) in the grass!
Grandad makes it pretty easy for these little monkeys...
Evan got into this too!


Eagle Jr getting his dad!

Too much fun!
I love that little mischievous face! Cracking an egg on himself! Hah!







Love this one!






Action shots....




More egg cracking...

They all kept getting me while I was trying to take pictures, but apparently that wasn't enough!



And the fun is not over until we get to blow lots of bubbles!






I love this bunch of precious cousins so much!!


Wow! Look at those bubbles!





Aunt Funny and her nieces...

Love Eagle Jr's face!








Back inside to get ready for dinner. Queenie has SO MANY helpers with the salad these days!

Queenie out-did herself and made us a very special treat of chicken fried steak! She worked way too hard, but it was amazing!!!! Thank you so much for such a wonderful celebration Queenie and Grandad! What a fabulous ending to an extremely blessed Easter. And so blessed because, as LJ said all day, "He is Risen!"

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...
