September 2016 Randoms

Welcome September! Time is flying! 

Sipping her juice!   
 
Lunch with Uncle Joe!!! Yay!!! 
 

  
Bubbles in the pocket park!
We got to celebrate Benjamin's 4th birthday at Jump Street! Kids had a blast! 






As one friend said to me, EVERY day around here is like Halloween! My boys, and especially Evan, LOVE dressing up!!!
I found matching fleeces for Ellie and I! Sure there will be many pictures in these this winter, but I am too excited to not share now!! ;)


Lunch with LJ and his sweet friend Oliver!
It's still so HOT! Haha!

Cheese!! 


Ellie will not (and CAN not) be stopped! She wanted Alexa to play her some music, so she got a chair, climbed up onto the counter, and asked Alexa to play 'Itsy Bitsy Spider!" Crazy child!! I was doing the dishes right next to her and realized she got all the way up there! 
Fun time with these sweet new friends... Oliver (LJ's classmate) and Leo (who is Evan's age) and their sweet mom!
Ice cream cheers!! 

LJ was helping me rinse Ellie's hair, and then got so amazed by how long it is!! He was so funny!! 


After reading about Curious George making blueberry pancakes, we had to make our own!!

Happy Grandparents Day to all our AMAZING grandparents!!! We are so thankful so have such amazing people to celebrate this day!!

Oh Ellie! I am not sure how I did not notice she grabbed that marker before getting in the car, but then there was nothing I could do to stop her! I was driving, and she thought me telling her to stop was hilarious! 

Boys first ice cream from the Ice Cream truck!!! So excited!!!

Haircut date with his dad!!! So needed and so cute!
And then an afternoon of golf with his dad! LJ was in heaven!!!


Random one- this is our house a year ago today!!! WOW!!! How much changes in a year!!!

Ellie stayed home from school one day because she was acting SO lethargic and tired! She got into our bed, watched a little tv, and fell asleep! I think she was fighting off a bug (thankfully a very short one!).
Sweet baby! 
Bella begging Ellie for a bite! Haha! 
LJ wasn't home, and so he found all LJ's baseball stuff as fast as he could and got it all on before LJ came home from school! hah!

So proud of himself! 

Dad date with just Evan! Barrett and Evan left the house very early and went to Kirby Lane for breakfast before Barrett dropped him off at school. To say Evan was excited about this is a HUGE understatement!!! He was BEYOND THRILLED!!! ALL DAY! He was on a happy cloud and told everyone / anyone all day long that he got to go eat at Kirby Lane with his dad! Wow!!! So special!
LJ got to go to a playdate at Oliver's house ... He had a blast!!
They even got to do a pinata! 
Today I have a knight protecting me!!! Love!


LJ still dresses up all the time too!! Today he's a pirate! 

Special hugs for her dad!!! 
New Chewbacca pjs from Gigi- LJ's favorites and cracking me up!!!

LJ's school assembly! Whoa it's crowded here!! LJ's teacher is standing in the black shirt and jeans, and you can barely see his head popping up by her hand if you look hard! He was excited I was there (and that he got a ride to school!). 

LJ wanted a picture of himself next to his 'happy face creation'! 
Today he is the Flash!! 
My little Chihuahua fans!!! Barrett brought everyone new shirts home after his trip to El Paso! Yay!!

Today he is Batman!

These kids are always ready for a game of Pie Face!!!





Holding hands as they walk to school! 

Aunt Patsy and Lori brought Ellie the adorable new back pack Gigi got her in Germany! Instant hit!!! 


Story time with Dad!



Barrett and this one wondered off in Target, and I got this picture!
Evan LOVES his new baseball shirt from our sweet friends!!
LJ found his Halloween costume... Ninjago lego costume! He LOVES it!!! Haha!!


Evan will be Han Solo! So cute!
Love my sweet boys so much!!! And they LOVE each other so much!!! They often match clothes or pjs on purpose! So fun!!!
Ellie borrowed brother's umbrella!

Dad and LJ had a dinner date, so we went to Smoothie King for dessert! They were just a little excited! Haha!!!  
  

And these two had a wonderful dinner and fun night at fundraiser for the Salvation Army at Hyde Park! LJ LOVED the fries (I agree LJ- amazing!!).
 It's starting to be dark when LJ goes to the bus!! It's too early!!!!

Dinner with our friends, Rex and Ren! Love these boys (and their parents!).  
 
And a WONDERFUL surprise ending to our month, a very quick visit from Gigi!!! 
I got to spend the whole day with her- starting with dropping off these two monkeys at school!

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...
