Visit From Aunt Patsy, Lori, and Brianna

We got our extremely special annual visit from Aunt Patsy, Lori, and Brianna!

They got in early on Tuesday morning, so I had the kids all packed in the car to go pick them up at 8 am! The boys ate their breakfast on the road, and we were right on time! Then we headed to Champions to drop them off at school. 

  


 Then we went to get some breakfast at Kirby Lane... and we played 'pass the Ellie!" 



Then to the mall for a little shopping...  
  
 Then back to Champions to pick the boys up... 

After quiet time, the boys got to open presents from them... so exciting! 

Then Ellie woke up!  

Then outside to show Bri our new trampoline!  



Evan is always wearing his Batman cape (Karyn's amazing creation!) and Batman mask! 
  
  Lunch with all the girls! Sang and Charley even joined us!

 A picture of Calcy watching TV for Tio! This dog is obsessed with TV!
More afternoon jumping... 
   
Getting Bri! 
  


 Thursday morning we played at a playground for a little while and then got in our traditional meal at Firehouse subs! 


 Then home for early naps, and just a couple hours later we were off to the airport! 

 It was so wonderful having these three to help me travel with three kids for the first time!

 Tummy time on my lap!

  Flight wasn't full so Ellie's got her own seat! Yay! Ready for take off!
 LJ got the window seat with Brianna and Lori...


And I got these two!  
 Evan practiced letters, drew me pictures, and played on his Fire for a while...
 Ellie drank her bottle and then took a nap! 
 She woke up happy, and then she hung out with Aunt Patsy as we started to land!

Gigi picked us up, and Cal and Tio came to get the girls. Evan was SO excited to see Cal! He screamed 'CAL!!!!' as soon as he spotted him from across the airport lobby and went running to him! 

When the boys went with Gigi to get the car, Ellie and I had a little photo opp.... 


Little angel is 20 Weeks today!

Can't believe we are already in El Paso! Had such a blast with these amazing ladies!!! Can't thank you enough for visiting us!!! And then letting us tag along on your flight home!! 
Love you all so much!!!

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! Yay! http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=0cmXfOE3GrA Five days of crawling... she is so obsessed with the t...

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...
