February 2017 Randoms, Part 1

February was a very full and very fun month around here!! 

The first night of the month I got to go out with several of my new girl friends to a place called Board and Brush. You pick a sign and make it from scratch!! Sand the wood, nail it together, paint, stained, etc! 

And here is my finished product!! Can't wait to go back here!


We got to celebrate Grandad's birthday at PF Chang's. We love our Grandad!
Love this little guy's outfits... everyday is an adventure! 
Then we had a surprise visit from Gigi!!! So wonderful!!!! 
We got to go eat lunch with this cutie-pie!! 
The bond between these two melts my heart!! 




A picture with the gang before she heads back home... so short but SO HAPPY we got a visit! Thanks Gigi!!!! We love you so!

One Saturday morning Barrett had a Board meeting for the food bank, LJ had a basketball game, and the kids were busy playing after breakfast! Then, just over an hour before LJ's basketball game, he came up to me almost crying saying his ear hurt SO bad. He wanted to go to the doctor! LJ hasn't had an ear infection since he got his tubes in over 3 years ago. Sure enough, we went to the doctor, and he had a horrible ear infection in one ear (just what he said!). Both tubes are gone. He got antibiotics, and we made it to his basketball game about 4 minutes late! Wow- never a dull minute! 

My phone entertained all three kids in the waiting room! These pictures were taken by LJ! 

Watching LJ's basketball game!! 



Evan took this picture of LJ practicing piano and me watching. I have realized that if I want him to really practice, I need to do it with him. But it is making a big difference- he has really started to improve!!
LJ celebrating his 100th Day of Kindergarten!
Making faces with Charley aka Chuckles!!! Love this little girl!

Finished my 21 day cleanse, and I get COFFEE again!! YUM!!

And then out with our besties... dinner and hockey! So fun!! 



Post Thunder basketball game (LJ's team- another win!) lunch with friends!

Ellie LOVES this dress! She sleeps in it sometimes, and it's hard to get it off of her in the morning... today it was more than hard! So off we went! 

Maybe better with the vest on?! 
Our friends the Cookes over for dinner and playing!!


Another night out with these sweet new friends!

Happy Valentine's Day!
Ellie opening her Valentine's day card from Queenie and Grandad, and gift (a new Mini-Mouse roller bag) from Gigi and Capi!! Lucky girl!!

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...
