October 2014 - Randoms

I wanted to get all the random pictures from the first half (well through the 22nd!) of the month... since the end of the month will likely be a little crazy as we welcome a new Wood baby!!

Boys LOVE Champions - they are there once a week and get so excited to go (although sometimes LJ is a little hesitant to let me leave!). But he always has a blast once I am gone, and Evan barely says good-bye because he is so excited to go!
Here are some shots from their warm-up one morning... 


Sang and I picking up the kids from Champions - less than 10 hours before Sang went into labor and gave birth to their new baby girl! I will miss my bump-buddy but am excited to join her on the other side in just 3 weeks!!


 I got to go meet precious baby Charley McDonnell! She is so beautiful!

 Evan...
Evan loves dressing up as much as LJ... He's a little chicken running through the house!  This was the night Queenie and Grandad got back from Idaho so the family was over for dinner! SO happy to have them back!
LJ usually spends about 1.5 hours in his room for 'quiet time', and then (if I still need rest time), he joins me in my room until Evan wakes up.
My little musician...
LJ got a random black eye- and ironically the next week Evan came home from school with one too.  Neither can tell me how they got them!  I officially have 2 boys!

Cacly has been particularly presumptuous lately- jumpy on the bed or couch if you happen to pat it (or make any noise sounding like a pat)!

These silly boys are always getting into something! Today they decided to ride their basketball hoop around like a horsey!
A quick run to Target to look for costumes.... this was so much fun for boys that LOVE dressing up!   Although some of them were a little scary!

Sharing their 'vanilla milk' (probiotic drink) with 2 straws!

Whole Foods playground time... 

The day after LJ's birthday party, Evan woke up sick. And since Barrett and I have both been having a hard time sleeping (maybe nervous about the baby coming in 12 days?!), it was a perfect day to watch movies in bed! This was actually our first day to ever do this as a family as we usually like to get out of the house! But it was fun! 
    
Evan is never too sick to put undies on his head and play the guitar!! 
    

LJ in his new robe! He looks like a little man- How cute!!!
       
The boys were performing Ninja turtle moves for each other! Each took turns watching the other with the sword! Hah!
      å
The boys doing a puzzle together before bed...


We got in two weeks of ISR swim lessons this month. We will try to go at least a couple times each month to keep the boys swimming well and practicing all they learned over the summer. They both did very well!!!

     


Got a fun night with Gigi and Capi (they were flying through after a Stagger wing airshow in Memphis and stopped for the night).  Here is Evan telling Gigi and Uncle Joe a story as they color!
And then in serious conversations with Capi!
   
And Gigi playing with Evan before bed. Evan is saying, "Look at me Mama; I'm upside down!" 
     
Sunday we headed to Zilker Park for a little playground time and train riding! 
     
The McDonnells joined us too! About to take off.... 
Attempting selfies with Evan!
Evan handing his ticket to the 'conductor'!
LJ and Ben were sitting so close to each other - they were so excited! 
More successful attempt at selfies after we got moving!
 
And we caught Barrett taking a selfie of him and Kate (they were riding together up front!) So cute!!
Mark, Sang, and Charley (hiding in Sang's lap!) behind us!
LJ and Ben- still sitting super close!

Gigi bought all the kids balloon figures after the train ride... of course LJ got all the boys swords!
   

   
We had an exciting delivery on our porch one afternoon- a BOO Basket! The door bell rings, and a box of goodies is all we find! (we suspect our friends the McDonnells!). 
   
Everyone must come check it out- dogs included!
  
Haha! Vampire teeth! 
   

   
Silly boys!
Barrett and his boys on our new chair! We got a new comfy recliner/ rocker that will eventually go in our living room- but we have it in our bedroom for now so I will have a place to nurse and rock the baby (in less than a week! Ah!!).
   

I love these silly boys! Always dressing up and making me laugh!!!
 

And we will be adding one more to the mix tomorrow!!! AHHHH! can't wait!

Trampoline Park

Image
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...
