Started the month by having Aryn and Eve over for dinner! These two are so cute!


Ellie loves sitting in high chairs and eating when we are out now!
Few extra from Gigi's visit...



May 7....

Mother's Day- loved spending with our Queenie!!! 
 Missed all these beautiful Mamas! Thanks for sending a picture!!
 I Love looking at my sweet, sleeping babies!
Last (not Last LAST- so second to last!!) Jack Allen's dinner with Queenie and Grandad!

  We are going to miss this so much!
 Batman made it to dinner (in his mask and all!).

This is what Evan looks like when he gets to dress himself completely! We have no lack of opinions! 
May 14... 
Yes, Evan always wears a Batman shirt (thank goodness we have 3)!  I often find him in the morning cuddling with a Batman shirt, ready to put it on (he has gotten it out of his closet and taken it to his bed to cuddle with it). 


 Boys walking into Jump Wild for our Thursday playdate with LJ's friends. They hold hands and walk together all the time- so cute! Evan loves Thursdays because he gets to wear his cowboy boot everywhere (no school)!

 Trampolines...
 Bounce houses, slides, air hockey... great time!
 Ellie bouncing in her jumperoo!
 Snuggles...
 Trying to get Ellie to wear hats... not working for more than about 1 minute!!

May 16... Our LAST meal at Vivo with Queenie and Grandad before they head to Idaho! Little superheroes at the end of the table!!

   Miss this!!!
   One night Barrett had a 'story time by the campfire' night with the boys! It was so cute!! They had all their sleeping bags out, Barrett find a fire to show on his iPad, and the boys read their stories by the fire before bed time. Super cute!! (I wasn't invited- Barrett shared these pics with me!)
 Needed picture for our Parent - Child Dedication... here are some from the 'shoot'!


May 21...Summer begins!!  (I did another blog with all the pics from this week!)
May 23...
 Found Evan reading to Ellie like this- just a diaper and Batman cape!
                             
                        


Ellie and Charley!




Ellie wanted a turn on the boys' big wheels trike! Hah!
Grocery shopping with my silly boys!

LJ and his caterpillar... He loves letting bugs crawl on him (and it gives me the heeby jeebies!! Gigi's grandson for sure!!)


LJ got a new belt in Martial arts!! He has been going for several months now, and this was the first time he got to try out for a new belt! He gave his old all white belt to Evan, and his new one has a yellow stripe! Yay LJ!
Evan was very happy!
A little fun at Laura's Library for the Summer reading kick-off! It was super crowded so we couldn't do all the events, but the boys did work on the drums (it was a little lesson after their performance), brush baby ponies, make hats and had a snack!

These two melt my heart! 
Boys brushing a little pony- a mini pony!
And we ended the month with a fun dinner at Waterloo with the McDonnells!
Love these awesome dads feeding their baby girls....
and these precious kids!!

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!

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 little early, and caught h
