Halloween 2014

Halloween!! The boys' classes both had Halloween PJ day and little celebrations, so they got to wear their favorite skeleton pjs! 

Ellie was very excited for her first Halloween- well maybe she dreamed about being excited!
Our plans for Friday night were to go to the Robinsons and trick-or-treat with cousins... Barrett was going to take the boys while I stayed back with Ellie and Laura and gave out candy. However, before we left, Barrett got a fever so had to stand down. Grandad and Queenie saved the day and changed their plans for the evening so Grandad could come walk the boys around Rollingwood with Eagle.   We were SO THANKFUL!!!  Boys got dressed in their Ninja Turtle (LJ) and Jake, from Jake and the Neverland Pirates (Evan), costumes! They were so excited!!! 
  

About to head out with Grandad! I tried for a good picture... but they were ready to go. Sad I didn't get a better shot! But they both looked precious and had a BLAST!!! Can't thank Grandad and Queenie enough for helping us make it happen!!
   

   
Poor Grandad had to get these boys in and out of the stroller so many times! And we let him take off with flat tires! So sorry Grandad!!! A Halloween we will always remember as you being the one who saved us!!
Back at the Robinson's house, Ellie got to take a nap on her Queenie!
And the boys returned with lots of candy!
     
And they ate a little more dinner and had their Ninja Turtles cupcake from Christine (as if more sugar was needed!).
     
Then Dad was dressed super funny as a surprise when we opened the garage (best dad ever!)! Boys got one more great laugh before passing out!! It was late!

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...
