LJ's 2nd Birthday Party

LJ turned 2 years old on Saturday, October 13!! We had a birthday party for him at Little Gym this year... Little Gym is basically like a gymnastics program for toddlers. LJ takes classes at Little Gym every week and really enjoys them (and is really improving in his 'gymnastics!'), so we thought this would be a fun thing to do for his birthday (and keep our house clean!!)

Our little birthday monkey!


Practicing his hoops!

Time for introductions - everyone circles up and shows us their favorite move... 

LJ got a little shy and just stood there! Well, until after his turn, and then he kept showing us his jumps!

And maybe some dance moves!


Circling up and doing activities together.
Time for some gymnastics!

Playing with Will in the circle thing!

LJ got to sit in the middle of the parachute while everyone circled around him turning it and singing happy birthday.... he loved it!


Then some playtime under the parachute!
Balance beam... LJ has gotten so much better at this!

Eagle Jr and Quincy





The food and cupcakes...
And decor...
Time to eat and sing Happy Birthday

Was so cute to see all the little kiddos eating at a table like this... 


Evan just looked for arms the whole party! Got Aunt Funny for about an hour then on to Gigi!
And finally cupcake time!


LJ did so well - really blew out his candle!
Happy happy 2nd birthday to our precious baby boy!! We love you so much LJ!!

A Visit to the El Paso Zoo- Our first time!

Image
We started out the year with a family outing to the El Paso Zoo- and my good friend Sara, Ava, and Oliver joined us!  Oliver and Ava had been there before so he was our tour guide!  We were pleasantly surprised by how many great animals were there! We will definitely be going back! Lots of zebras- and they were hanging ostriches... LJ just observing while Gigi points things out... Oliver and LJ checking out Zebras... Ok the giraffes were definitely MY favorite- watching them drink water was so funny (and a little sad!)...  Gigi, LJ, and Ava looking at the funny little animals... Just funny... Lobos!! The world's largest rodent- gross! Looking at the reptiles... There were also lions, tigers, lots of birds, sea lions, and more!! Think we had more fun than LJ- but hopefully he will be more excited every time we go!

April 2016 Randoms

Vivo is actually a few minutes closer to our new house than our old one, so we always try to make our Saturday morning visit with Queenie and Grandad!! We will sure miss them in a few weeks! Ellie has been a little challenging at meals... thankfully she has many laps to welcome her!      Barrett took Evan and Ellie to Academy for a little golfing while LJ and I unpacked the POD one day! Ellie loves the trampoline as much as her brothers!! And she loves coloring!!! She really gets into it!  This is our 'waiting rock'! The boys run down the trail behind our house, and can only go as far as the 'waiting rock' without us. Then they have to wait for us to get there before moving on! They are great at stopping there :) Side note: I no longer have ANY control over their outfits... they dress themselves (often many times) every day. And guess what- they love matching themselves!!! How exciting for me!!! Smoothy cheers... Barrett d...

Ellie's 2 Week Well-Check

Image
 Ellie is two weeks today!! And when I took her clothes off in the morning for her two week appointment, I was surprised to find her umbilical cord was gone!!! Yay (and finally!)! Although I still have no idea where it went (gross!). I am thinking maybe it fell off when I changed her diaper in the middle of the night - and maybe the dogs found it (gross again!). But at least it's gone!! Excited to start giving better baths, any outfit, etc without having to worry about the cord! Overall, we had a very positive 2 week appointment! Dr. Hargrave said she seems to be doing very well, looks very alert (she was awake during the entire appointment!), and is even on the advanced side of the number of expressions she makes (maybe she will be an early smiler!). The only mild concern was that she had not gained her birth weight back yet. BUT the doctor said not to worry yet since she seems to be happy and doing well otherwise, and we will talk more at her 1 month well check. She h...
