Father's Day 2016

If you ever wonder what it is looks like have 3 small people completely obsessed with you and adore you more than anything, come hang out at our house and watch our kids with Barrett!!! 

I often task LJ with working on a card for someone or something during everyone else's rest time, but the day before Father's Day, I went to go meet Baby Cora and just left him with a work book page to finish before he could watch the iPad. Barrett was taking a nap, but said he woke up to this on his body! LJ did this COMPLETELY on his own- because he loves his dad so much!! And I love this card so SO much!!! 

We did have an actual greeting card picked out for Barrett, which was supposed to be from all three kids, but LJ took most the space! Hah! Working on signing it- while Evan waits patiently for his turn!! 

The finished product!


LJ took so much space that the other two mostly got the back of the card and then envelope!!

 

Barrett opening his gifts... the boys each picked out their own gifts to him at Target and Academy! Evan insisted on these golf balls!
And Target had these shirts... They truly had VERY strong opinions about which shirt they each wanted to give!! Evan picked the 'Super Dad' shirt, and LJ insisted on the 'BEST DAD EVER' shirt. LJ also picked out the blue Under Armor shirt - insisting that is what Jordan Spieth wears! Love their thoughtfulness! 

Our very special Father's Day treat... an afternoon movie in the media room with popcorn!

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...
