Evan's 2nd Birthday Party

We had a fun, short get together at Rolly Pollies for Evan's birthday party. We have been to another party at this place, and thought it would be fun for Evan because it has a bouncy house, foam pit, trampoline, and other stations that Evan loves!!  

Evan LOVES the show Blue's Clues, so we made that the decor for his birthday- although at a place like this, not much decor is needed!!  But we did have balloons (which Evan loves so much!!) and a few other cute things to make it feel like Blue's Clues!

My attempt at Blue's Clues cookies- fixed and mostly decorated by Gigi (hopefully our kids get her or their dad's artistic abilities and not mine!!). 
Decorations: A Handy Dandy notebook and Blue (the dog- both given to Evan by Queenie and Grandad), Mailbox and Pail (I made), blue cake balls for dessert, blue M&Ms in trays, and on the far left, a small cake for singing to Evan!

The first hour was spent in the gym area doing which ever activities the kids wanted. Evan had about 14 friends there, and they all seemed to have a good time! 




Evan jumping down the long trampoline!
LJ doing the hang gliding thing! 

And landing in the foam pit! Was proud of how brave he was!


A rock climber! 
Evan working on his forward roll! He learned this at gymnastics camp and does it all the time now! haha!
Friends having fun!







Bounce house!


Gigi and LJ!

And then we had 30 minutes to eat, sing Happy Birthday, and have cake pops and cookies! 

Time to sing!






After a perfect practice run blowing out candles at our house, he did not successfully blow out his candle at the party! O well!! Next year!



Everyone enjoying the cake pops!
And then cookies!

Evan would not stop eating his personal cake! He made such a mess, and sat there long after everyone else got up to leave! But it was his birthday, so we let him do what he wanted!!!


And then we got home earlier enough to open Evan's gifts! His 'helper' LJ beat him to a lot of the unwrapping, but he still got to do some!





Happy birthday sweet little 2 year old!! We love you!!

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

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...
