McDonnell Egg Hunt 2014



We were so excited to make it to the McDonnell's Egg Hunt this year.  Last year, one of the boys was not feeling well so we missed it.   Sang, as usual, went over the top with everything, and it was a huge success!

Each kid had a paper colored egg with their picture on it that let them know what color egg they would be hunting (and a cute basket of goodies underneath their egg). LJ hunted green eggs, and Evan hunted purple eggs. Every kid had 20 hidden eggs.

LJ checking out  his egg and learning that he would be hunting GREEN!

The kids ready to go start their hunting!

LJ has this down! He got right to work!
  Barrett and Evan were partners- they did great (except Evan kept wanting to collect the big egg decorations instead of his purple eggs!)

 On a mission!

 Never too busy for a quick brother hug though!
 LJ got his 20 green eggs, and then he started helping Evan get his purple!


 Kate and her precious pigtails!
 Eagle Sr. and Locke hunting away...
 Cousins!


After all the eggs were collected, we sat on blankets under a big tree and all the kids searched through their eggs to see all their prizes! 


 Just a few pics of my handsome little monkey!  I love his face...


 Locke the amazing eater going in for the watermelon!


Evan loves his 'Aunt Sang'! He tapped on her shoulder so they could hug!

 Trying to give his cousin a hug...
 An attempt to get a picture with my boys....


 Too busy playing with each other to smile for the camera!



 An attempt to get a picture with Barrett and the boys!

 LJ found his bubble gun...








 Ok time to get all the cars out and play...

 LJ driving his little cousin around... this is cute and also scary!
 They're off!
 LJ is not the best driver yet! He may have taken a tree or two out!

 Peek-a-boo!


  Attempt at a family shot! 


Thank you McDonnells for such a fun and full morning!!

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...
