Round Rock Express Game Aug 2016

Evan is on a huge baseball kick, and all he kept talking about was having a baseball birthday party and going to the baseball game! Well, there was not a game on his birthday weekend in town, and for a number of other reasons, we decide a baseball game birthday party would be better another year (when he is a little older). But we did make it our gift to  him to go to the baseball game (and we planned to get him a jersey but they didn't end up having his size). We had planned to try to do this with friends, but the Saturday night we wanted to go was pretty rainy! So we canceled. But the next night, Sunday night, there was a down pour of rain and then 30 minutes before the start time, the sun was shining! So we made a last minute decision to get loaded up and go! We were afraid we would not make a game if not that night (the only other home games were scheduled for Labor Day weekend), and we had promised our birthday boy! Unfortunately, most other people we know were starting school the next day, but LJ didn't start until Tuesday! So it was our last 'non-school night'! We had to go!

The kids were all so excited, and it was actually perfect! Nice weather, although a little light sprinkle for a few minutes here and there! But it was cooler outside, and the game was not crowded at all! We had such a great time! 

A picture of these excited monkeys as B got our tickets! 

Then a man watching offered to get us all! Yay! 
They were giving away free sun glasses at the entrance... LJ and Ellie really did wear them a lot of the night! LJ was not acting this serious at all though- not sure where that face came from!!! 
Walking to our seats! 



Eating and watching the game... happy kids! 

Ellie sat still for about 40 mins, and then she wanted to play! 

Empty stands, and we found covered seats (out of sun and rain!!) that were perfect for the kids! 
We only watched for about an hour before walking around, finding mascots to talk to, going through gift shop, getting dipping dots, and heading home! Successful night- they all had a great time and so glad we got to go!

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...
