Lately

Summer in my house is really no different than any time of year. I work from home and Joeys schedule doesn't change, so not much difference. However- it has been nice being able to take Lincoln to the pool after work every day- he loves it! He recently took lessons here at our pool an they went well. He loves to swim, the only problem is he is still to short to touch in our pool, even in the shallow end- so he likes to wear his life jacket. Here is Lincoln at his "first" dentist appt, it was actually his second, but the first time he never opened his mouth so this was a big improvement! Here he is getting ready for his 4 year pics Which turned out pretty good, here is one I scanned: I have become addicted to snow cones, especially since Bahama Bucks opened close to our house! Lincoln is not a big fan- he says they are too cold! We got Lincoln a trampoline, it has been sort of a disaster from the start, first my brother hit him in the head by accident when they were setting it up, then all the pieces were not in the box and we are still waiting on some to set up the enclosure. Hopefully one day it will be complete! That's our life in a nutshell- for now :)

Great Wolf Lodge

Every year we have taken Lincoln to Great Wolf Lodge to celebrate his birthday. This year was the first time he got to take a friend, MaKenna and Lincoln were born 1 week apart and have always loved spending time together! We had a great time as always, although I am still shocked that my baby boy is turning 4!

Hoppy Easter!

Lincoln had a great Easter weekend! He got to go to a egg hunt in our neighborhood:
And a big Easter egg hunt/ car show at the church:
Saturday night we dyed Easter egss for the first time!
Easter morning Lincoln got lots of goodies from the Easter bunny- he had an all things Angry birds theme this year:
And a living room egg hunt!
Looking EVERYWHERE!
Needed a little help getting some that were too high!
Playing his Angry Birds game:
Mommy and Lincoln- first thing in the morning (ick)
After that, we headed to Aunt Shawna's house and had ANOTHER egg hunt, then Lincoln got a basket of candy from Corbin and Gage's grandparents too- needless to say- our house is STOCKED with candy! We also had a yummy lunch. We ended the day with a trip to the grocery store to get ready for the week- seems silly that we had to grocery shop on a holiday, but life doesn't stop I guess :)

Getting better

His second game went much better! Maybe there is hope for this season yet. However, I am sure it is more of a day to day kind of thing :) It was a busy Saturday though, opening ceremonies at 11 and a game at 3. Of course, now that they are on a roll, there is a 2 week break due to Easter weekend. Oh well!

Cute...

So this t-ball thing is cute, and a good idea in theory- but its not working out so well. The more we practice and have games, the less Lincoln likes it. There is just not enough action, and he is SO bored, maybe soccer would have been better- either way, at this point I am just hoping he makes it through the season without refusing to play. In the meantime, he sure looks cute in his uniform :)

Ready for his first game

Lining the kids up in order of batters- not as easy as you'd think

He's ready!

Happy Springtime!

A family friend plants an AMAZING garden of tulips every year for Spring. Sadly, these temperamental flowers only bloom for one month. We were able to borrow her yard for a mini photo shoot (she said they would only be around a few more days :( so much work for such a short period of time, but definitely beautiful enough to be worth it)






Mommy and Me time



My sister was with us and helped with getting Lincoln to smile


This was my sisters attempt at professional photography :)

This is not the best pic, but I had to include it because it is SUCH a Joey face!
