Aunt Patsy and Lori Visit- Oct 2015!

We were so excited to have Aunt Patsy and Lori come to visit for a few days- including Ellie's 1st birthday! They arrived early on Wednesday morning, so Ellie and I headed straight to the airport after breakfast to pick them up! Poor sweet family had to run around with me and my errands as I prepared for Ellie's party and Halloween! First stop- Target! Ellie was happy to be having a girls' day!

Next we headed to lunch at Taco Deli, and we got to meet Sang and Charley there!



The boys were told there were surprises in Aunt Patsy and Auntie Lori's bags... they raced into their room after getting home from school to see what they could find!
New glow sticks and flash lights... cool!!!
And there was a present waiting for them in the living room ... 
Hungry Hungry Hippos!! Hours of entertainment!!! Thanks so much Aunt Patsy and Auntie Lori!! We love it!!!!

Post-nap fresh air... Ellie is obsesses with walking every where now- but only with a hand!
Dinner at Hat Creek... Look who we got to see again! Ellie and Charley were actually feeding each other at dinner- pretty cute! 



All the girls!!!! 
Bedtime stories!

Thursday morning drop off!

Thursday night we went to visit my precious cousin Patrick and his fiancé Erika. We had so much fun catching up! What a precious and wonderful couple... love them!! 
Friday was Ellie's birthday... we had a well check in the morning...
And we were busy prepping for the birthday diner all afternoon! We were so blessed to have Aunt Patsy and Lori here to help us!!! 
Love you all so much!!! Thanks for being here!! This was the last picture we took before heading off to the airport... to what ended up being the worst nightmare flight home ever! Their flight was delayed from 9 pm until 1:30 am, and finally ended up taking off even later than that! SO so sorry Aunt Patsy and Lori!!!! We are so grateful for your time here and sorry it ended with such a rough return home!!

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...
