St. Patrick's Day, 2017

We had a fun, full St. Patrick's Day. Like last year, it fell at the end of Spring Break, so we had no school and got to venture together! 

The McDonnells were back in town, and we missed our friends! So we started the morning with a breakfast playdate at Waterloo! 

These cute besties! 

Kate and Evan! 
Ellie loves 'her' baby Josie! Haha! 



LJ got a splinter and was freaking out, not letting me even look at it!! Finally, we held him down and I snuck it out before he could realize it happened! Then he started laughing! This was one of the more dramatic performances we've seen in a while! Poor guy!! 

Love the McWoodell Clan so much! 



Then tried for one more picture before we left... 

SO glad I did... I LOVE this one! 


After breakfast, we ran by HEB to pick up some things for our planned sleep over at the lake house... 
Buddy bucks! 




We planned to go spend the night at the lake house with the Romeros, but as we left HEB we learned that Rendin had come down with a fever! So instead, we decided to have just Rex (Rendin's brother) come spend the day / night with us and celebrate St. Patrick's Day doing other things! 

After some fun at the house, Barrett took LJ, Evan, and Rex to Brushy Creek for some fishing! They had a blast!! 




And they got to play... Barrett said it was one of the hardest days ever to keep his eye on everyone- green bodies everywhere!! Haha!! 

We had a very green dinner in honor of the day, including green pasta with green alfredo sauce, peas, green beans, and green grapes! 
(All of this was after the kids ate the green jello snack they helped me make!) 
 






And for dessert... green rice crispy treats with green M&Ms! 
 
 

  


A little Mario Cart before bed... I think Rex is winning! 


Ellie just wanted to play Hungry Hippo! 
Breakfast ... well, it was not so green!

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

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...
