July 2016 Randoms

July flew by!!! We had fun vacations, 2 camps, and several play dates and activities!  Here are a few random pictures I got... 

Evan loves his new sun glasses form Kate's birthday party! 

Barrett's sisters got him wonderful gifts for his birthday! A new Under Armor shirt and hat- just like was worn in a golf tournament! 
All the Wood-men were super excited!

We can't pass one of these without taking a picture now (I LOVE IT! Hah!). 



Aunt Sang and Josie spent a whole afternoon and evening with us- we were all SO excited (probably me most of all!). Kids all got to hold baby Josie. The adore her!!






We love 'creating' around here!! Artwork, journaling,, 

To Megablock structures....


Afternoon play date with Ben, Kate, and Piper!

Jenga has become a favorite pass-time around here! LJ is really good!!
Evan said he didn't need a nap today and just wanted to watch them play... a few minutes later, I saw him on the couch snoozing! haha!!

LJ LOVES when he gets a hard block out!!! It's really cute!!
And when they aren't actually playing, the blocks are perfect for building!
Ellie is always taking care of her babies and stuffed animals.  She gets out the pad I change her diaper, a diaper, wipes, aquaphor, etc, lays a stuffed animal or baby down, and 'changes their diaper', puts blankets around them and puts them to sleep, or feeds them!! So cute!
My hot little mess! Gave her a chocolate Z Bar and turned back around to find this little face! She does not like being dirty and was yelling for a wipe! 


We have a group of fawn that hang our right outside the game in our back yard. LJ likes to go out there and take photos of them, and they don't seem to mind at all! These are not zoomed in at all! LJ was right on the other side of the fence with my phone! 




Got to spend a morning with the beautiful baby Cora! So happy for Christine and Kirk!
LJ working hard (he has to do some of this before watching a show)! 

I love these sweet faces so much!! 
Ellie 'helping' me shop at Target. She wanted to make sure all the pillows were comfortable! 
More shopping with my girl! 

Post nap smoothy and tv! Happy kids! 
I am convinced Ellie can open ANYTHING! It's a little scary actually... pill bottles, lotions, liquids... she is strong and seems to have figured out 'child-proof' safely lids! And she runs off quickly to get into thing! AH!! 

As they were happily watching a show and drinking their smoothies on the couch, I went to answer the door and had to go outside to show the sprinkler guy around. I should have taken Ellie! While I was outside, she went into my bathroom and got her favorite thing from my bathroom drawer- my makeup bag! She found my staining lipstick and put it all over her chin... so the rest of the night (with our dinner guests and all), she looked like this!! 

I needed a picture for Evan's birthday party invitation... LJ wanted to be in all of them! 


And Ellie! 



Thanks for the outfit Gigi- and photo LJ!!
Ellie decided to get my laptop off the table, take it to the couch, and open it up on her lap. She imitates everything people do around her... and really does move fast! Thank goodness she didn't drop it! 
Shopping with my silly boys, and Evan was showing me things he likes for his birthday! 
While we were out shopping, we got sent these fun pictures:

So we responded with some of our own! 


Sweet Bella! 

Found a new fun park!

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...
