Last days of March 2016

March flew by with so much going on! We spent the last days of the month just getting used to our new house, city, and life! Here are some pics from the last days of the month...


Monday (3/28) after the boys' school, our precious friends Karyn and Piper came over for the afternoon/ evening! So Much Fun!! 

 These two have been friends since they were just months old (like LJ was 4 months and Piper was 2 months!!). Love them! 

Dinner at the kids table! 
  
 And then we got to show them our Dinosaur bone play area...
Piper walked Bella and did an amazing job!!!! Thanks!!


And I got to take a break as Karyn pushed Ellie- and Evan (who is constantly hopping on the front of the stroller!). 

 Posing for us...Haha!   
Ellie is so happy- walking Bella and holding Karyn's hand!!! 
Ellie's leg!!! 
  
 No night is complete without dessert!!
 Thanks SO Much for coming up!!! We loved it and hope to do again soon!!!! 

Tuesday (3/29) I had the boys all ready to go to school and was driving there, when they started whining and insisting they did NOT want to be in their Tuesday/Thursday classes. They only wanted to be in MWF classes. They insisted the entire way to school, and Evan was almost crying. So when we got to the school, we walked into the directors office and got them out of the T/TH class! 
They seemed immediately relieved and have been so happy since! So now we get to play together on Tuesdays and Thursdays! 

So after leaving the school that Tuesday, I had no real plan for the morning with them... so we just stuck to Ellie and I's gym plan! 
The kids got busy coloring away as soon as we got there! 
 They begged for smoothies after the gym, but finding a good place hasn't been easy! We tried Smoothie King one day because it was close to that gym. Good but not super healthy! We took these selfies to win a prize! 


  
Wednesdays are Chapel day at the boys' new school, and parents are always invited. So Ellie and I have been sticking around after drop off to be in Chapel with the boys. It's just about 15-20 mins, but very cute! They sing songs and tell a Bible story, and then end with celebrating any birthdays of kids in the school.
 Both boys always say they want us to stay, but LJ has just started not wanting to look at us while we are there! Oh no- it's happening! 

Painting while Ellie naps! 

 Evening walks and finding new play grounds by our house! 
 Ellie rides in the stroller while we find the places, and then she walks Bella around the area while we are there! This is an Ellie demand (she screams until you hand her Bella's leash!). 

The pose! Hah! She loves saying "CHEEEEEEEEEESE!!!" 


 Evan loves doing 'tough' poses! 
 Happiest with her dad!! 
 Thursday morning we went on a mission to find and explore our new mall (the closest one to our new house)- Lakeline Mall. It is smaller than our last one, but very kid friendly! The boys desperately needed new shoes, and we found the best kids' salesman ever at Journeys Kids! He loved superheroes even more than the boys (if that's possible), and they were in awe of him! He swore them to secrecy, and then told them selling shoes was his 'cover job' and he was really the super hero Green Arrow... and then he showed them a picture of him as Green Arrow on his phone! They ate it up!!! So fun! And he told they would only like these shoes if they wanted to run as fast as the Flash... LJ raced all around the store for 20 minutes! Hah! 
  
Posing for us! 
Ellie got some new shoes too! Happy girl!

Good-bye March!!!

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

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...
