Evan's Out -of- House Adventures!

Saturday, Nov 1 was an interesting day at our house! Ellie did not have the best night of sleep, I had been up with LJ to get him off to El Paso with Uncle Joe. Then when Barrett got up, he felt was still feeling bad so we decided he should go to the doctor to make sure it wasn't anything serious... well SO GLAD he went, because it was serious!! He had the flu!! While we had all had our flu shots, he must've gotten a different strain or just not been fully immune when exposed. So we immediately made plans for him to get out of the house and away from Ellie! He went to stay at his parents' house. 

And since I was exhausted and not supposed be be lifting Evan, our family and friends came to the rescue and took Evan for the day/ night. Then Benzons came to get Evan, and he spent from nap time on with them, and even got to go to a costume party with them that night. When I told him he would need a costume and pulled out a basket of them, he immediately asked to wear this chicken (he kept saying he wanted to show Kate and Lauren), and didn't take it off!

     
Then I got a few pictures from the party... So happy he got to have this fun night instead of being stuck at home bored with me!!!
    

Evan spent the night in his tent in the same room as Kate and Lauren.  And I am told they were privy to his middle-of-the-night hour-long singing concert... don't think they want to share rooms with him again soon!!!

Then on Sunday, Evan got to go spend the morning with the McDonnells! They took him to Jumpoline and then lunch at Jason's Deli!! 

Here is a quick video of Evan at Jumpoline from Sang- love it!!

Can't thank you enough Benzons and McDonnells!!! Evan had a blast! 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...

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...
