Easter weekend 2018

Three day count down until Easter Sunday.... 

Ellie was excited to wear her Easter shirt - and the rest of her outfit was her pick! Thank goodness these two usually love (and often even ask) me to take their picture before school! Haha! 


Preparing for Easter... note to self, don't leave baskets at Skye level! 

Good Friday- I had a planned play date with an impromptu egg hunt! Why not!? It's almost Easter, and we all had too many plastic eggs lying around! 






Counting eggs and checking out prizes! 


They worked up an appetite! 

It's almost this girl's birthday!!! Will never forget watching this beautiful angel come in to the world!! Love my Josie! 

My sweet friends that made our Friday morning so fun! 
LJ and his buddy listening to Evan during his piano lesson... lounging on the dog bed! 

Then, LJ headed to a sleep over at his best friend's house. It was Lucas' first sleep over! They were both so excited!

Missing our LJ while he is at a sleep over, but Hopdoddy was still delicious! 


Saturday we had a full, fun day! Kids helped me (sorta!) make some fun desserts for the next two days. I think they came out pretty cute! 




Then we headed to our friend's egg hunt. After years of invitations and never making it, this is the first year we haven't had a child's nap get in the way! So happy we could join in on the fun! 
We really didn't know any of the kids, but our kids were still very excited and made friends!
And they're off! Professional egg hunters! 








All that hunting put LJ to sleep (wonder how many hours he slept last night at his sleep over!)... but we still have one more special party to go... Josie's! 

Got to celebrate beautiful little Josie's 2nd birthday ... late to the party but we made it! 
Josie LOVES her Uncle B! She will run to him and throw her arms up for him to hold her every time she sees him! It's so cute!!! 
I was just going for one picture of B and Josie, and next thing I knew, all the kids were on his lap!! Hilarious! 

Precious girls dancing away! 

Ellie got this PRECIOUS bag from her Aunt Sang and Charley... she loves it (and so do I!)



Big hugs to her amazing Aunt Sang!! 

Evan wanted a selfie! Cutie pie!

Time to go home and get a good night's sleep... the Easter Bunny may be coming tonight! ;)

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!

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...
