Lincolns favorite thing to do at the mall is eat Sbarros (no- its not shopping!)- every time we go he wants "pizza", here he is enjoying a breadstick (ranch is required for anything he eats there!)

Santa left a can of silly string in his stocking, once he figured it out he loved it- for the 30 seconds it sprayed before running out!

We have created a monster! Is my child the only one who goes shopping on YouTube? He watches all kinds of toy reviews and then decides he has to have the toy- he is currently expecting two Jokers from imaginext because a video he watches shows a boy playing with two (one is not acceptable!) Its bad- not sure what to do about it.

Lincoln- watching the Phineas and Ferb movie with his Phineas and Ferb movie Perrys :)

Ho Ho Ho

We were ready for Christmas early this year! I had our tree up the week before Thanksgiving and it snowballed from there. We also had Lincs pic taken with Santa the week before Thanksgiving, just getting around to posting. I really need a scanner but for now- Iphone pics will have to do.

Fun at the Gaylord

We took Lincoln to the Gaylord last night to see the lights, I have to say it was far less exciting than last year- but it was a Monday. He still had some fun though, and we ate at the Riverwalk Cantina which made me feel like I was in San Antonio for a minute :)

RIP Jasper

Jasper has been with us for 12 1/2 years, almost as long as I have known Joey. We knew he was getting old and one day we would lose him, today we did. He started having seizures and we took him to the vet who said there was little we could do. We didnt want to let him continue to suffer so we had him put to sleep. Its a sad sad day, for me especially.

Recently...

Lincolns 3 yr school pic, he is still only going to MDO once a week, but he LOVES it. I am sure he will enjoy going 2 days next year- and I am hoping that gets him ready for Kindergarten the year after- really? 5 days a week for 8 hours, I dont see how I will survive!

Sometimes, on Saturdays Lincoln and I have lunch with Joey at work. I thought this was the cutest thing! Never to early to learn Daddys business- haha!

Halloween 2011

I CAN NOT believe it is already November! Is it too soon to put up the Christmas Tree??? HAHA, Lincoln has had an interesting Halloween... first we took him to the Family Fun Fest at our church and realized he is permanently scared from a previous bad bounce house expereince, he had a meltdown at the festival when we tried to get him to go through one.

He almost got into the whole "trick or treat" thing, until we approached a house with a motion sensor screaching cat that freaked him out, after that he just wanted to go home. We went to 5 houses in our neighborhood (which apparently is a really good neighborhood to be in, EVERYONE was out passing out candy). He got half a pumpkin full just from those 5 houses!

Plus, since we live on the corner of a still under construction street we didnt get a single trick or treater once we were home- so we also have a FULL bowl of our own candy too (just what i need!)

Better late than never...

For Lincolns birthday the first 2 years we took him to great wolf lodge. Our plan was to take him every year- at least until he was old enough to ask for something different. For his 3rd birthday, we planned to do that same until we realized his birthday fell on Easter. We didnt want to get up, do the Easter Bunny thing, go to church and then go to the hotel to celebrate the same day so we put a hold on going to great wolf, until last weekend. We finally got to go and this was deffinitely the best year yet. Lincoln was big enough to go on rides and slides, and because it was August- we got to go in the outside area for the first time! It was a great mini-vacation and we cant wait to go back for his 4th birthday! He was very brave- last year we didnt get him on the smallest slide till the morning we were leaving, this time he did that immeditately, moved up to the bigger slide, and THEN moved over to the "big kid" slides too, I was very impressed!
