Adventures of Mozart 2016 ... and Mozart gets a friend!

Our Christmas Elf Mozart made his way back to our house to watch over the kids again this year on December 1. He appeared in his usual first morning spot- our Christmas tree (he tends to start and end there!). He didn't really have any wild adventures other than moving around the house. The kids LOVED finding him every morning though, and spoke to him often. LJ usually gets up and heads to school before Evan is even awake, so they each found him separately most days. Ellie would then show us where he was all day! She would grab your hand and take you to see him all day! 




The only funny /unique thing from the year, really, happened on December 23! I walked into the kitchen to find LJ and Evan sitting at the bar working on a letter together. LJ was writing it, and Evan was leaning over him participating! I asked what was going on, and they informed me that they were writing Mozart a note to bring a friend (Rex and Ren did this a week prior, and another elf showed up at their house!). SO I told him he better address it to the North Pole and we could mail it off. I helped him sound out 'North Pole', but otherwise, this was all their work! haha! 



It took Mozart an extra day to arrange for a friend to come with him, but sure enough, on Christmas morning, an envelope was sitting on the tree with TWO elves above it!! 

Mozart on the right, and our new elf is on the left! 

The note inside is below: 
The kids were SO EXCITED to see this! They first named their new elf 'Elfie' until we realized she is a girl and may want a more girly name! So they changed it to Fifi! We thanked them both for being there and said good-bye on Christmas night. And sure enough, we could not find Mozart or Fifi in the morning! Excited to see what adventures they get into next December! ;)

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...

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...
