First Week of Summer 2015

Thursday morning- the first morning of summer!! We started off with our usual Thursday morning playdate with kids from LJ's class, and headed to Jump World! We have an excited LJ!!

And a cowboy-superman- pirate Evan!

  LJ and I went for our first jog together in our neighborhood while the other two slept! I was so excited he insisted on coming with me! Not a great workout, but worth it to get to run with my LJ!
 Got a good 5 minutes in before LJ had to stop - and of course he got totally distracted by all the 'really cool sticks everywhere'! We had to stop to pick his favorites - one shaped like a sword and one like a gun. Then he would trade them out as he found better ones along the way!



Time to get a 30 week picture of my princess! 

  



 And we moved Ellie to her crib at night for the first time... she takes all her naps there, but now will sleep there at night too (instead of in my closet in the pac-n-play!). She did great!!


 Love Ellie's new organic outfit - thanks Chas!!



Barrett went camping with Mark and Kirk, so Sang and I took the kids to Hat Creek for dinner! 

  Happy little girl!
 We try to get Ellie to hold her own as often as possible- she does pretty well with it! But sometimes one of the boys like to 'help' her! 

Thanks for taking LJ to martial arts Uncle Joe!!! Joe has done this a few times when either I or Barrett is out of town (parents are involved so an adult needs to be participating in the class with him i.e. I can't have other kids to worry about while there!

 Ellie working on her army crawl to Dada (still have a long way to go! Haha!). 

 Grocery shopping with my silly boys!
 Giggles before bed! 


 Back to the gym in the mornings now that summer is here! This was my first day having all 3 kids there, and they all did great! yay!!

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

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 little early, and caught h
