Gigi's Quick Visits!

For two weeks in a row, we got a quick (but wonderful!) 24 hour visit from Gigi!  Before the first visit, I told LJ he would have a surprise waiting for him when he woke up from his nap. Then I asked him, "Who would you be so excited to see at our house when you wake up?" And he yelled, "GIGI!!" Pretty special! (The next week I tried the same thing, and he yelled, "Grandma!" Guess we have been talking about our up-coming El Paso trip a lot lately!)

Pretty much forgot to take pictures the first visit as it seemed to fly by, but I did get LJ and Gigi co-holding the target bag together!
Teamwork!


And exactly one week later... She's back!! Hugs for Gigi! 
Dinner at LJ's favorite place to go with Gigi: the 'talking cow place' as he calls it (County Line!).

Here is a quick video (for anyone interested) in why this is the 'Talking Cow' restaurant to the boys. They came here with Gigi when she was watching them for us a while ago and loved it so much, that they ask her to take them back every time now! It's become a little Gigi-tradition!

And then Gigi got to pick up LJ with me from school on Thursday before heading back home.... LJ was pretty excited to see her at the door! 

Thank you so much for your visits and help while you were here Gigi! You are the best, and we love you so much!!!

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...
