Aunt Patsy and Lori Visit- December 2015

We got a very wonderful, very quick visit from Aunt Patsy and Lori!!! Ellie was still napping at home with our sitter, but the first thing on our agenda was Tiff's Treats cookies!

It didn't take long at our house before the boys were raiding their luggage for a surprise... they are just a little spoiled!!! 



Legos and coloring books! Yay! Excited boys!!! Thanks so much!



Good morning!!! 
Girls lunch at our favorite Taco Deli!! And we even got Queenie to come with us- her first Taco Deli experience!!
Thursday morning walk around the neighborhood... we love to move!
And we made our traditional Firehouse subs... but we had to get the boys sandwiches to go since they were still in school! 


Aunt Patsy, Lori, Ellie and I  picked the boys up from school 30 minutes early, and let them eat their Firehouse Subs in the car for lunch as we headed to the airport to fly to El Paso! They were SO excited!

 I was excited that LJ wore his backpack almost the entire time!
 Ellie is still flying for free as a lap child, but there were a couple extra seats on this plane so Ellie got one! Yay!! Huge difference! LJ, Ellie and I sat in one row, and we had Evan, Lori, and Patsy right behind us!

Ellie mostly ate the entire trip! 

Evan fell asleep not long into the flight and slept the majority of the time! 
Banana time! 
LJ kept himself busy with iPad games, coloring, and sticker crafts! He is such a good and easy kid to fly with now! 

Ellie, on the other hand, is at that exhausting age! Thank goodness for extra loving hands!! 
We got to hug Tio as he picked them up from the airport ... 
Thank you all SO very much for the fabulous time together and visit. I can't tell you how much it means! AND helping us fly back to El Paso. We are so lucky to have these amazing 'Aunties' in our lives!

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...
