Ellie's 2nd Birthday and Fall Festival at Live Oak

Ellie's birthday morning! 
She insisted on sleeping in her Supergirl dress, so she woke up looking pretty cute! We had a few presents for her to open, and they boys may have been more excited than her about the whole thing! 

Her first gift was a toy ice cream making set that Evan picked out to be from the boys. I thought this was cute since Ellie really does LOVE ice cream so much. 
Nothing like brothers to help you get everything opened ;)

The boys loved their gift to her! Hah! Lots of ice cream making parties around here! 


Then she got some new clothe for her favorite doll from Aunt Sang, and she had a really cute purse to open from the Almeidas!




Then we got her dressed in a precious little outfit, and headed to church! Thanks for the cute balloons Aunt Sang - they were perfect!!!! 
She loves balloons!!!
Ellie is always putting on everyone else's shoes! I must say she looks pretty cute in my boots!
Our church had a Fall Festival after the service on her birthday so it was pretty cool to have something so fun to do with her!

Eating Goldfish- her favorite!
LJ trying (and succeeding) to get the cans knocked down!
Evan!
All our church friends! So fun!!!
Got Evan in there- he was protesting for a minute!
My three monkeys!
Hot dogs, chips, and lemonade for lunch = happy kids!!
There were a few huge and very fun bounce houses! This one was cracking me up!

Get that toe Ellie!

Of course, Ellie insisted on hanging with Missy the entire time!!! I am a far second when it comes to Missy!!
Fun bouncing!!


David and Barrett- probably planning a sports practice for all our boys! Such amazing dads!
Me and my beautiful birthday girl!


Sliding time!


Such a fun morning!
Back home to her balloon!!!

And then our sweet friends came over for dinner and to celebrate Ellie with us! Ellie's pick for dinner and dessert was pizza and ice cream! We sang to her with a candle in her ice cream, and she loved it!
Brinkley and the boys!
Beckham and Brinkley are Evan and LJ's age almost exactly, and so cute! Brinkley goes to LJ's school, and they have become great friends!

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...
