January 31, 2015

Here are all the random pictures from our wonderful month! What a great start to 2015!!!

The boys being silly with the New Year's Eve crown!

Ellie is getting so smiley! I love it!!

Ellie moved out of the rock-n- play and into the Pac-n-play!

Aw... how cute are these two!

She still falls asleep nursing... and smiles in her sleep!

Evan loves his new football!

Had a few pictures picked out for Ellie's announcement, but decided to try for a few more really quick (1 minute worth!)... got some cute ones!

Last time I will squeeze her into these cute pants- needed a pic!

Shauna stayed with us for a couples nights while visiting Austin... these two have been friends for over 20 years! So special!

This is the only picture I got of her today... glad she looked so cute!

My future pilots in their aviator jackets from Gigi and Capi at school drop-off! So cute!!

If you ever wonder how little this girl is, look at her when she's in Barrett's arms!

Boys LOVE the new learning tower we got with their Christmas money from Granny!! They like to help me cook, do crafts, eat dinner, etc up here! Thanks Granny!!

First night out - really out- with the girls in a long time!!!

Her favorite time of the night... bath time!

Ellie is getting her precious baby- chunks! Love it!!

After bath fun....

I got her a new cover for the car seat - looks much more appropriate for my little girl!

Found Evan like this when I went to get him from his nap one day... He had 're-created' his entire bed on the floor and was half on his chair reading books. Character.

LJ showing Ellie a toy... he is obsessed with his sister!

Singing happy birthday to Granny!

Selfies!

LJ asked me to take pictures of him with his dogs!

LJ is learning to take pictures with my phone... doing well!

Evan LOVES his new Bevo hat! Wears it every day!

We got new super comfortable chairs in our living room... and the boys claimed their spots the first night! This may be a fight!!

Aunt Bean helping the boys pick dog treats at Whole Foods on MLK Day...

Posing for pictures for their dad who was out of town.

Finally got my Bob stroller out so I can go on better walks! Yay!

Eating cookies and jumping on the trampoline!

Ellie helping me cook!

This boy loves his boot and his football... Evan is such a character!!

Swinging!

Love our quick visits from Gigi!!! She helps bath all the kids!

We ran a few errands in the morning and then she left right after we ate lunch... short but at least we got a visit!!!

Quick photo shoot with my girl!

She is the happiest little thing!

I can't get a picture of how blue her eyes look in the light... but they are still very blue (maybe getting more blue!?).

Snack time after naps.... Evan has not taken off his hat since I picked him up from school :)

Ellie is already 3 months!?! Wow!

The McDonnells joined us at Vivo one Saturday morning!

Brother Joe came to visit Ellie and I one morning (and brought me a coffee!)!

I think I have been replaced as Barrett's girl! Haha!

Pictures by LJ...

I love that face!

Moved their big wheels inside... round and round they go!

Still a little groggy after one of her typical long (2-3 hour) afternoon naps!

LJ giving his dad a hand-made invitation to a 'Man in your Life' event at his school next week!

Grocery shopping with the kids... Ellie fell asleep for the first time in the Bjorn...

And these two got to pick their clothes... Evan in his favorite batman mask and cape with his cowboy boots, and LJ in his monster shoes (that he had hanging out of the basket much of the time so people would 'see how funny he is'!) I love these children!!!
