Easter 2020

Definitely a different Easter for us- and everyone- but we still had a great time (despite missing our extended family). 

Cedar Park went under a Tornado Warning, so Barrett woke the family up at 5:45 am so we could be prepared to get in the closet under the stairs if needed! We were all half asleep on the couch watching the updates for 15 minutes, when the news guy announced, "It's over- get out of your safe places! I repeat, it's over. All is fine!" 

Well, of course, the kids were up at that point! When I said Happy Easter, they (seemingly having forgotten what day is was!) went in search of their Easter Baskets. AND they found them!! They told me Easter Bunnies don't get the Corona Virus- great news! 

Baskets that the kids found! 
 They got busy right away searching through the treats from the Easter Bunny!
 I took a nap, and they went to get donuts. 
 After a great church service (streamed in), we got ready for our egg hunt. Each kid got to collect 30 eggs plus a bonus yellow egg with their name on it (hidden a little more than the rest!). 


 Ready to go!



 Off they go!


 Skye dog being very helpful! 
  







 Bella thinks it's time to give lots of kisses when I try to do core work or stretching! 

We also snuck in a good bike ride, and then headed down to Westlake for an afternoon birthday parade for our dear friend Karyn! 




A different Easter for sure, but we managed to have a pretty great day under these weird circumstances!! 

Here's a little time lapse of our egg hunt!

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...

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...
