La Union Corn Maze, Oct 2016

Saturday afternoon of our El Paso trip, we dropped Ellie (who needed a nap) and Barrett (who wanted to work) at home while the boys and I got to meet my friend Jenn and two of her boys, Nico and Ben, as well as my cousins Joanna, Sheldon, and their 3 kids Joaquin, Jude, and Josephine. What a wonderful and fun crew! Had to get a quick shot of the boys while waiting in line for tickets! 
First stop: Huge slides!
Next - a tire ride!



Hanging out on a tractor!
LJ and Nico...
Silly boy! 

Group shot of the kids before we attempted the corn maze! There were two options, long and short. We went for the short, which was supposed to take 15-30 mins. So happy we picked that one! I think it took us close to 45 minutes!!  Kids led the way, and it was fun! 
Off they go! 


Found a fun picture op on a bridge in the middle of the maze!! What a view! Love my beautiful cousin Joanna!

They are determined!

Time to make some silly faces in the middle of the maze!!



We made it!!! Yay! Great job getting us out guys!

Zip-lining!! I couldn't believe Evan did it (although it did take him backing out a time or two first!). But then they did it multiple times!!
There goes Josie!
Duck races (I was expecting real ducks when I heard this! Not so much!!)


Smelling the flowers!

One last stop at the bounce thing! I might have had the most fun here!


Thanks for a very fun afternoon, La Union!!!

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

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...
