Granny's 88th Birthday

The whole family made our annual trip to Houston to celebrate Granny's 88th birthday on January 30 this year.  We got up early on Saturday, met Queenie and Grandad at the Farmer's market, and then got on the road to Houston by 9 am!

Ellie immediately found a little baby doll in the toys at Granny's house and carried it around! She loves her dolls!!

The Ewok and I cuddling on the couch! He was in a silly mood!
 Locke, LJ, and Eagle Jr...
 LJ loves his cousin Eagle Jr so much!
 I think Evan asked for these photos (taken by Queenie)... silly!!!

Ellie got Becca to get her set up in her booster with a snack (I was inside talking). Thanks Becca!! 
 
Time for pizza! Barrett and the boys!! 
And then the boys got to help Granny blow out her birthday candles! Evan got really into this! I think I need to talk to my boys about letting people blow out their own candles! Hah!


Ellie and her Queenie! 
Granny and her four daughters! Beautiful! 
And we always get a shot of the whole group before heading back to Austin! So happy we could be here this year to celebrate our dear Granny!!! 

Happy, happy birthday Granny- We love you!!!

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...
