Fun weekend back in Austin!

Our first Saturday back in Austin (after a month in El Paso) was a very full and fun one!

We started with a tennis lesson for LJ. LJ said he was excited to go, and he did pretty well. The hard part was Evan! Evan did not understand why he didn't get to participate in the lesson, and he wanted on the court so badly!

Evan started crying because he wanted to play so badly, so he and Barrett went off to the side and played for a while together!



Then after a taco and coffee break, we headed to the state Capital Visitor Center for a book signing and to tour the museum inside. 
Evan loved the displays and had so much fun running around!


He was so excited to show LJ what he had discovered!
Then we found a saddle to sit on!
Add a hat and vest!

Hilarious!



Downstairs to our book signing and craft. The boys made binoculars out of toilet paper rolls, tape, and string... and love them!!







Then we dropped Evan and Barrett off at the house for naps, and LJ and I headed to Quincy's 4th birthday party at Little Yoga House. LJ took a while to warm up to yoga (didn't help that we were a few minutes late so they had started), but then he got into it and had so much fun!
Strethcing!
Downward dog!
Cobra!
Working with a 'breathing ball' to practice / learn how to take deep breaths


Balancing a dog on his head to learn to sit up straight and be still!
Happy boy!!
Relaxation time!
Teachers came around and put stones on their head and gave them a little foot massage with lotion! They don't do that in my yoga classes! Jealous!


"Namaste!"

Dance party time!
Then they pulled out costumes to take pictures of each kid... LJ of course loved this! Butterfly wings, a tiger hat, and more.... too much fun!
Cake time!



Afternoon swimming and ice cream... Happy boys!

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

Image
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...
