April 2017 Randoms

Random fun from April!

LJ has had a few sleep overs now and loves them (and most importantly- he actually sleeps!)!

Never a dull moment with my Ellie Grace! She makes me laugh every day!

Jaime entertaining the kids with Snapchat filters! I need to get into this!

My sweet Evan! He hasn't been very excited about Barrett and I going on dates lately, so I have to give him a little extra love before we head out!

My two cool dudes!

Ellie takes this chair all over the house to get to things in the refrigerator or pantry (or anywhere she can't reach). Nothing and no one can stop this crazy girl!!

Or if the chair is too much of an inconvenience, she will just climb the shelves to get to what she wants in the pantry! AH! Never look away for more than 30 seconds with Ellie!!

Gigi popped into town for a quick visit! Yay! While she was here, we:

Stayed for Chapel at HOPE one day! Ellie loves her cute new outfit from Gigi!

What would we do without Missy!

Surprised LJ at school for lunch...

Got extra time playing with Evan!

Went shopping...

And worked out!!! Since it was launch week at Golds Gym- when I team teach several BODYATTACK classes... Gigi did the class with me TWICE!!! I was SO excited to have her in class and proud of her!! What a rock star! Thanks for coming mom!!

We finally got patio furniture that we like, and Skye thinks the tables are a perfect chew toy! So we will be passing these along to the lake house to save them and looking for new! Darn!

Barrett (or I if he can't for some reason) takes Skye on LOOOOONG walks, hikes, or runs every day! We try to keep her worn out! She is so happy!!!

The McDonnnells came to visit! Look at precious Charley and Evan!

Capi and Gigi back in town for Easter weekend... Yay!

Boys' night out to the hockey game! Fun! Capi's first hockey game ever...

Family walk down to Brushy Creek!!

Realized I never got bluebonnet pictures this year! This will be the closest we get!! Haha!

Silly!

Blowing bubbles with Skye!! Hilarious!

Get 'em Skye dog!!

My happy place... family all around!!

Rest time on the couch!!

Ellie is very tough, but also VERY girly! She loves her Baby and takes very good care of her! Changes her clothes and diaper often!!

Swimming with the Averys!

Little fish!!

On to playing golf!

Teacher appreciation week... I had to be at school anyway, so I popped into lunch with LJ! Love his sweet friends and listening to their lunch conversations!

Love!

Couldn't love these two girls any S'more!!! Happy birthday Karyn!

Surprise brunch for our friend Cassandra! Totally surprised!!

The kinder boys!

I am very grateful for all the kinder-mom friends I have made this year!!

This girl is a total ham!!! :)

Kids table!!

Stopped at our neighborhood lemon-aid stand put on by friends! Yummy!

Took our friends Brinkley and Beckham little treat baskets! Brinkley fell on the play ground, and her mom was out of town... so we thought a little basket would cheer them up!

Success!

The boys are very independent and opinionated about what they wear, especially Evan! And now, Ellie is starting even younger!! She got this on completely by herself- down to the boots! She wants to dress "BY MYSELF!" and there is no convincing her to change clothes after she has picked it!

Love our dinners with Queenie and Grandad....

LJ finished all 10 of his Math Superstar worksheets (math homework- and he did GREAT!). Everyone in his class that completed them got to participate in an ice cream party after lunch one day!!

Poor LJ woke up that morning (of the ice cream party) telling me he had an ear infection, but the first appointment I could get him to was right after his ice cream party. So he suffered through it, and I planned to take him straight from school to the doctor! BUT while at the party, Ellie school called and worried that she might have pink eye! First kid of ours to get pink eye- yuck!! So we detoured and picked up Evan and Ellie, and then we all headed to the doctor!

I will have to disinfect those glasses soon!!
