Evan's 5th Birthday

This week, we got to celebrate my sweet and precious Evan on his 5th birthday! I love this amazing boy and his sweet, loving heart so much!!! 

As she promised, Gigi popped into town for a quick visit to celebrate with us! She bought him a cake, but he picked to sing out with candles in his ice cream! Round one of happy birthday for this boy... 






Evan knew he wanted a Power Ranger's Birthday party as soon as we walked into Party City and he saw the stuff.  However, we had a very hard time decided on the place (and we were trying not to spend a small fortune).  After considering many places, we ended up putting together a Power Ranger's Party at Catch Air. Below is his evite invitation! 

 I didn't expect too many people in the summer and with not too much notice, but we had a great turnout! All decorated and ready to party! 

 Favors... power ranger gear! 

Evan had an early morning, and the drive to his party put him right to sleep!! Poor baby!  
 But he woke up excited and got right to playing! 
 This boy loves his buddies! 

Hard to get them to stop running... but I snuck a few pics in here and there!!  


  

 Ellie and her cousin Kiki... 
 Aunt Bean and Cora! 
 Dance party time... 
   Charley!
 




 Pizza time! 


  
















 
And then the cake! Yummy!! 


 One family shot before we go! Got us all Power Ranger shirts (they didn't have Ellie's size - so sad)! 

Home to open presents!  








  


   
Few more shots with my bday boy before bath time! 
 Too fun... LJ wanted in!! yay!! 


The next morning.... Birthday morning! 
The boys and I were up first, so while everyone else slept in, we headed to Shipley's to get the birthday boy his donut! They actually wanted a kolache first!   So we ate those there and decided to take the donuts home to eat together as a family! 
 And then back at home, we put FIVE candles in Evan's and sang to him again! 

  
Hot chocolate with his donuts!! 
 
Church bound... 
After church, the our bday boy requested his dad's delicious nachos! Ready to serve!! 

 And all this time, Evan had still not noticed the pile of family gifts on our dining room table!! 


 Pure joy opening his gifts!!! 


  


 
"I LOVE it!!!!"

  
 I love how involved all three were in every gift that was opened! 

 

  Ready for some golf!!! 

 And that's a wrap on the cutest birthday boy I know... Happy 5th birthday my precious precious boy!!

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...
