This is the LAST of them...unless you are coming!!

We had Christy and Daisy Williams here for a few days and MAN did we have a great time! March has been a very exciting month because we have had so many visitors! We LOVE it! But Christy was here, and took about a thousand pictures, but Daisy decided to throw the camera on the ground one afternoon, so she can't get the pics off the computer. SO we have a few here, but none to do them justice! We had a great time! Daisy and Lincoln were way cute together for the first couple of days, but then decided to get a little bit ornery with each other, but we still had a great time! We got to go to the zoo and to the children's museum, but unfortunately, it was Spring Break for all of the elementary-middle schools here, so it was SUPER crowded at both places, but we still had a great time! We are SO glad that they came out! Thanks guys...it was great to be with you!

Here we are eating lunch by the giraffes! OH, you can't see them in teh background, but believe me, you could SMELL them!
Daisy and Lincoln checkin out the fish...
Lincoln was POOPED one night. He wanted a cracker to eat, and wanted to watch a little show, so I gave him a cracker, and he sat down on the couch while I went and got Payton ready for bed, and this is what I came back to! How cute is that! Still with cracker in hand! That was a TIRED boy!
Lincoln LOVES to look at the snakes. I am not so sure about them, but he thinks they are very interesting! We even saw this snake eating a RAT one day! How cool is THAT!

There is a standing invitation for anyone that wants to come and visit...you just let us know, and we will get you here! We LOVE visitors!

It's been a while!!!

I know that it's been a while since I've posted, so here are a whole bunch of posts and pics of what we've been doing for the last little while!!

More visits from Friends!

We had some of our great friends, Steve and Jenn-y Burt and their angel son Mitchell come and spend a few days with us over Spring Break and BOY did we have a good time! We didn't do much, but what we did we sure had a fun time doing! We played games, ate good food, watched movies- including Enchanted which was given to me by the Burts, and went out to dinner at a fun Wing Place one night! We had a great time! Mitchell is an angel boy...never makes a peep for heavens sake! Lincoln had a great time playing with him. Thanks for coming Burts!
We went to the park for a walk and a fun picnic and e all got FRIED!!! We haven't seen the sun for a while I guess!!
Mitchell coveting Lincoln's chicken strip...oh wait!!! He was fine just sucking on a french fry!!

Disney on Ice

So, the other day, I took Lincoln to Disney on Ice presents Finding Nemo and TALK ABOUT FUN! It was just Lincoln and I because we didn't know how well Payton would do through something that long, and it was SUCH a blast! It was so much fun to be with my little buddy for a couple of hours. He fell asleep in the car before we got there, so he napped for a little while before the show started, but as soon as he woke up, he was quite curious as to where we were! I told him that he could have ONE treat, so we walked out in to the hallway, and he chose a snowcone (which he didn't really eat, so I GUESS I felt compelled to eat it!) in a cool Nemo cup! He was quite enjoying that! Then, intermission came, and we went out into the hallway again, and were just walking around, and in his sweetest voice, he said..."Mom, can I pweese have some pacorn!!" (Mom, can I please have some popcorn) So of COURSE I relented! How can you say no to that! So we enjoyed some popcorn in his Nemo cup! Lincoln LOVED the show. Mickey, Minny, Donald and Goofy came out at first, and he thought that was pretty cool, but then Nemo started! He was a little bit leery at first, and kept on saying that he wanted to go home, but then it started picking up, and LOVED it! He was so cute! We had a great time together!
We tried lots of times to get a picture of us, but Lincoln would NEVER look at the camera! little stinker...Nemo was MUCH more interesting! I don't blame the guy!
Munchin on his popcorn out of the Nemo cup! Lucky dude...
The show was even over at this point, but Lincoln was still watching everyone walking around. He is much like me...quite the people watcher!

More Easter Pics

We had some of our GREAT friends over for Easter dinner on Sunday, because all of us are away from our families, so we decided to be family together! We had a GREAT time! We had fabulous food provided by all, great conversation, and lots of balls, toys, and a little bit of screaming! There were 8 adults- The Smiths, Cronins, Moss's, and Gordons. Plus a child from each family and 2 from ours! It was quite the full house, and we had a great time!
The Gordons made it with only 2 week old Sasha! Doesn't anna look fabulous!!!
Tim with his cheescake in the background!
The boys workin on the kitchen! Thanks guys!
The womenfolk tending to the babies! So much fun!
Lincoln and Calvin trying to escape!

My Little Book Worm!!

Okay, I was being a little crazy one day when Payton was wanting to be held...so instead of just holding him like a good mother, I decided to put my glasses on him and take pictures! He is SO cute! He looks like the little worm on those shows that wears glasses. Maybe he will be like his brother and mom and only want to read books all day! Only now, Lincoln isn't into that so much...he still loves to read books, don't get me wrong, but he would MUCH rather play with his tractors, trucks, trailers, and anything else that has wheels and can pull each other! Oh my boys...

Happy Easter!!!

Well- He made it! The Easter bunny stopped by our house on Sunday morning! He always pulls through that guy! And this year, he made it in the form of a package that my mom sent a few days prior! Thanks Easter bunny! BOCK BOCK!!!
We had a great Easter Egg hunt on Sunday. Lincoln woke up, and it took some convincing, but we finally talked him into picking up his basket and putting the candy that he found strewn about the room into it! That sure didn't mean that he put EVERYTHING in there! It went something like this..."Ooh! Look mom! A Jilly Bean! I Eat it!" "Okay Lincoln, you can eat that one, but don't eat too many, you will get sick and then won't want to eat breakfast!" "Okay mommy...loook another jilly bean! I eat it! I don't want to eat briksist! (Breakfast)" and so it went for about 20 minutes. One for Lincolns tummy one for the basket...one for the tummy, one for the basket. But he still went ahead and ate 2 bowls of fwostit fwakes (frosted flakes) for briksist. Oh, what a cute little clam. We had a great morning. We never did get the kids sat down together for pictures though...it was one of those mornings. So I plan on getting them all dressed up sometime this week and taking some! So stay tuned for those!
On the hunt!!!
The fireplace Spoils!!
With all the loot! YEAH!

TWINNERS!!

I thought that I would be one of those moms that never wants to dress their kids the same...BOY WAS I WRONG! I don't have very many outfits that are the same for the boys, but I LOVE to dress them in them! Here are a few snapshots of the boys in their twinner outfits!This isn't a twinner shot, but look how cute they both look! I had to put it on!
Twin sweat suit outfits...thanks Grandma B!
Payton LOVED the swing! He swung for probably 20 minutes without making a peep!

Matching sweaters also from Grandma B!


The sweater Payton is wearing was one that Lincoln had when he was little- the one Lincoln is wearing matches Paytons- and it is my friend Lindsay's! Thanks Linds for letting us borrow...we'll get it back to you...someday! :)

Fun with Friends

Our good friends Matt and Melissa Godfrey came and visited us the other weekend, and MAN did we have a blast! We had a great time. Good enough that we only took like 2 pictures! But we sure had fun! They have a son named Gabe that is just a few weeks younger than Payton, so we had fun playing with the babies while Cole was at school, and Matt was skiing! WE have the life, that is for sure! Thanks Matt and Meliss for coming to spend some time with us! We love you guys!Here's my little teddy bear! Isn't he cute! He LOVES to suck on his hand...darnit!
Meliss enjoying her chocolate shake!
Rare shot of the two of us...aren't we cute!
Lincoln munchin on his fries...he LOVES greasy food! I wonder where he gets that from! teehee! :)
The fateful finger shot after I sewed right on through it! Oh man, please never anyone do that! By they way, I still have the piece of black thread in my finger! AHHH!! I might have to go tweezer diving! SICK!

OUCH!!!!!

So, I dont' have a picture of this, if I did you all might get sick, but I did something that was HORRIBLE yesterday! I was sewing some burp cloths for Payton on my sewing machine, and Lincoln was asking me MILLIONS of questions! Much like Pinocchio does to Gheppetto, and I was answering him like a good mother, but then he pointed at something that I couldn't see, and I took my eyes away from my sewing machine for a split second and sewed RIGHT through my finger! AHHHH!! Oh my gosh- it hurt so bad I couldn't even breathe! The second that I did it though, I thought of my sweet Grandmother who always used to tell me to be very careful when I sewed, because I didn't want to sew through my finger...I should have listened to Grandmother! She always knows best! Needless to say, It is very hard to type. It was a clean sew- right through the tip 1/4 inch of my pointer finger- and there are only two holes- one right by my nubbin fingernail, and one on the opposite side of my finger. Be CAREFUL out there you seamstresses!
