A Visit from Aunt Patsy and Aunt Lori

We had a wonderful visit from Aunt Patsy and Auntie Lori (my God mother!) this week! It was so wonderful to have them here! Barrett was in El Paso for the weekend, and he ended up coming home on Monday on their flight. So they all got to our house around 5 pm.  We were so excited to see everyone! We had dinner, then headed upstairs for bath time and reading before bed. The boys each had their own laps to sit on and were in heaven! 



Post-nap entertainment on Tuesday.... 

Well LJ only took a quick rest, then got into bed to with Aunt Patsy and Aunt Lori to rest with them! The TV was on, so of course Calcy had to join them (that dog is obsessed with watching TV!). 

Snack time! 

Then the boys got to open a few little gifts... puzzle, coloring book, stickers, and fun little things! 
Evan playing a little music for his Aunt! This kid is obsessed with singing while playing his guitar! It's so cute! 

And LJ loved doing his new puzzle with Auntie Lori! 

Walking to their classes on Wednesday morning.  Who needs Mom!!
Evan and Aunt Patsy chatting before nap time! 
   

Evan's awake- and he found a Woody hat to wear as he announced his arrival down stairs!! 

There was a big storm on Wednesday night, and we think lightning hit our alarm system! Not positive one the cause, but the result was a terrible shrieking alarm going off in the middle of the night! We couldn't get it to stop for about 10 minutes, and then we lost power in the whole house for about 4-5 hours! We ended up calling the fire department to make sure everything was ok (and to make sure the alarm wouldn't be going off again when the power came back on), so it was a pretty exciting around here for 3 am! The boys were really just excited to get to play with flashlights! When I asked Evan if he heard the alarm, he said it was loud (but I actually think he slept through it and woke up to the fire fighters walking around by his room!). 

Our traditional lunch at Firehouse Subs before heading to the airport on Thursday!  Even more exciting after seeing real firemen in our house last night! 

And all too quickly, time to take them back to the airport :(
Thank you guys SO much for coming to see us! Can't tell you how much your visit meant! We love you and enjoyed every minute!!!!

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...
