Valentine's Day at the Zoo

Had a wonderful visit from Capi and Gigi this week! They got in Tuesday evening just in time for dinner and some catching  up. We thought they were going to have to leave early Thursday morning, but we ended up getting a whole extra day.

After a less than wonderful Valentine's morning for the boys at the doctor's office (Evan's wellness check and  a follow-up appointment for LJ's ears), we had a fabulous afternoon together at the Zoo.



LJ mesmerized by the HUGE turtles.. 


Lion!


I wore Evan the whole time- he really enjoyed his first zoo visit!
I just loved the way this leopard was sleeping straddling the log- too funny!

Feeding time- LJ prefers to watch after a goat bit him in the fall!


LJ decided to sit down and watch the baby deer for a bit- it was really cute!

Aggressive eaters! 




All the live animals and LJ loved this statue! Asked to touch it and didn't want to leave it!
Thank you both so much Capi and Gigi-we had a WONDERFUL time!!!!

Swim, Gymnastics, and Soccer - Spring 2016

Image
After moving to Cedar Park, we got the boys in 3 'extracurricular activities'... Swim and Gymnastics on Thursday mornings, and soccer on Saturday mornings. They really seemed to enjoy all three! Ellie was usually surprisingly patient during their classes, although sometimes she had more crazy days! But usually she would walk around, have some snacks, and play!  Here are some pictures from all three activities the last two months, and there are some videos at the end of swim and gymnastics!  Evan swimming...  LJ floating... He flew through the first 5 stations of Nitro 1!  Evan was a little slower to warm-up to swim classes, but he ended up making through station 3 (will be on station 4 next time we go!).  I think she likes swim the most because she has a clear view to watch her brothers!     LJ swimming on his back...   this is new, and he is doing very well!   LJ had such great swim! He mastered swimming on his back for 10 yar

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!
