June 2016 Randoms- Back in Austin

We woke up Tuesday morning ready to jump into a routine and get settled back home! 

Smoothie King with my blue-eyed girl! 

LJ and a small lego creation!

I had a girls' night planned, so Barrett took the boys to the Round Rock Express Baseball game! They had a blast!! Love the pictures I got...
Silly face!


A new favorite: making 'forts' in Evan's bunk bed using the bean bags and pillows! I haven't been invited behind all this yet, so not sure what it looks like in there!


Shopping with my girl!
A little fun at Brushy Creek Park!
Haha!! It was a little hot!

She wanted to swing for about 20 minutes... 

Evan asked if he could nap in our bed one day... so cute! 

Meeting baby Cora Quinn - absolutely beautiful! Love her already!
Story time before bed with Dad! 

'LJ from the village!'  
 She like her shades- even if they're upside down :)  

  
 Date night celebrating my amazing husband!!! Happy 36th birthday!!!

So much fun celebrating Kate's 4th birthday at the Austin Zoo.  
Group shot of all the party-goers in their animal masks!
 Roaring!! 

Boys were so excited to see Eagle Jr- and ride the train! 

  
Kids the the birthday girl! 
 LJ showing me his art work- and sneaking in a dumb-dumb! 

The last week of the month, we got a surprise visit from Gigi!! YAY!!!!  EXCITED WOOD FAM! 

  Boys were in Gymnastics Camp all week, but they loved having Gigi there to drop them off and pick them up! 

 A few days ago, Gigi asked Evan what he wanted for his birthday, and he said a bike!! So after rest times, we went to the bike store and Gigi got both boys their first bikes!! Yay!!! 
Here's Evan trying the first one (we didn't end up getting this one). 
 Here is the chart they have to help you determine what size wheels/ bike you need. Evan was right between needing a 12 inch and 16 inch wheel, so we went with the 16 inch one 
 We are so blessed to have our Gigi!! 

Testing out the bigger bike... he likes it!!  


LJ got this bike with 20 inch wheels. We got training wheels put on it, but now we are questioning if we should take them right back off!  
 Gymnastics Camp drop off... 

 Shopping with my two favorite shopping buddies!! 
 Hugs! 
 Evan took his own selfie!
 I can't buy raspberries at Costco without Ellie insisting on eating them as we shop! Not super excited they aren't washed, but she is pretty loud if she doesn't get them! 

 Last day of Gymnastics Camp at Acrotex... the boys said they loved it and had so much fun. I know it had a lot to do with two of their friends from school, Luke and Logan, being in the camp with them! But I really don't know much about what they did everyday! Glad they liked it though!!



We got a new sprinkler toy for our yard to play with when we don't feel like going to the pool- but still need to cool off when we are outside! Not great quality pictures, but you can see the ball hovering in the water in the middle of the sprinkler toy... this is definitely the favorite part! They make it hover and then try to hit it! 

 Wood men!

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...
