LJ's 6th Birthday

LJ got to have a few pre-birthday celebrations with family this year! The first was in El Paso, and the second was the night before his actual birthday when we had dinner with Grandad and Queenie! I love his little face when they bring the cake out! 



Love that we got to celebrate with our Queenie and Grandad!!! Thanks so much Q & G!!

Queenie got a picture with me in it- thanks Queenie!! 
Silly monkeys!

LJ woke up the next morning, on his birthday morning, so happy!!  We had his big 6 balloon ready with a small stack of gifts from us and family.
We let him pick one gift to open before school, but said he needed to wait for the rest since no one else was awake! He picked the gift from his dad, a BOSE bluetooth speaker cube that they will be building together! How cool!!! LJ was so excited!


Barrett volunteered in LJ's class that morning (made LJ's day!), and then I brought them lunch!  We got to eat together before Barrett went back to work....
Our sweet birthday boy!!!
Love his crown and how happy he was!
I volunteered in his class the rest of the afternoon, and loved seeing him in his classroom.

I volunteered in his classroom for a couple hours after lunch, then brought LJ home with me. Getting a ride to and home from school was another little special treat!
When we got home, Evan was ready to help him open some more gifts!!


LJ is super into science experiments and wanted to get started right away!


And several weeks later, Barrett and LJ finally got a chance to sit down together and build his BOSE bluetooth speaker. It was so cool to watch!!!












Here is a video of the Bose bluetooth playing music... cool!!!

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...
