El Paso Falcon's Sports Camp, Summer 2016

Monday morning of the second week in El Paso, boys got into a sports camp at St. Matthews Catholic Church. They were so excited to go, and it was the perfect thing to keep  them busy and active while we were visiting! Their friend Nico was in the camp too, and Evan was probably the youngest kid. They were supposed to be 4- but since Evan has an August birthday, the coach let him in (although this took two trips to the school to make happen- it was worth it!). They went Monday through Friday morning, from 8 am to 12 pm. 

Day 1 Pick up: We found some happy, hot, and worn out boys! Success!! 


Day 2:  Evan INSISTED on getting his promised camp shirt (the coach told us he kept asking about it)- and once he had it, he insisted on wearing it for the rest of the week!! I had to sneak it out of his room one night while he was asleep to wash it because he refused to take it off during the days (and it was getting pretty dirty!)! 


Day 3: I drove by after dropping them off one day and got a picture of them playing in the field! Evan is in the yellow shirt and red shorts in center of picture...

At pick up, Evan was not out on the field playing with everyone. I finally found him in the portable. He had discovered the huge 'juice' dispenser, and showed me how he just had to push the button to get as much juice as he wanted!! 

Of course, the 'juice' he was referring to was pretty awful sugar water! I saw the bottles next to the dispenser... 0% Juice! Haha! 

Thursday drop off:  On Wednesday the boys informed me that I did NOT need to walk them to the portable, and in fact, I should not go any further than the ramp leading up to the door! So I would stop short and watch them until they got into the portable. I loved hearing the Coach say good morning to them- he was fantastic with them! 
Ellie told each brother to grab her hand! 


Friday: Pick up the last day- I had to get a picture of the boys with their buddy, Nico. He is the reason we knew about this camp, and the boys really loved it!!!  So glad they got to spend time together!

What fun mornings the boys had this week! So glad we got  them into that camp!

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...
