Manila Park

He likes the wind in his hair.
My two boys.

Well we got to see everyone from Labor Day again this Saturday, we met at Manila Park in Pleasant Grove so that we could see Ivy, Spencer, and the boys. To bad the boys got sick and we actually didn't get to see any of them. We missed them. But we had fun anyway. Linc liked the swing.

Nathan

Well on Friday Mandy and Eric had to go to a dinner at BYU. Lucky for us because we got to babysit Nathan. He was so much fun. It really is crazy how much a difference 4 months makes when they are under 1. Anyway after a very messy blowout and a bath we really had some fun.

I'm holding Lincoln in the background yelling to Todd to help the poor kid out. Todd thinks it is to much of an opportunity to pass up a picture.
What a cutie. There was one picture opportunity that I missed though, Todd put Lincoln on Nathan's back when he was crawling around, it was ADORABLE. Anyway we had fun and can't wait to see cousin Nathan again.

Attempts at rolling over

Linc is getting so close to rolling from back to front. He's been doing front to back for so long now that I'm ready for him to do something new. He also started laughing. He doesn't do it when you expect it, like when you are trying to get him to do it. No he laughs at things like, me using a paper cutter, Kenna looking at him, etc. Can't figure the boy out yet.

Labor Day

On Labor Day we went out to Justin and Rheanna's to hang out with them and Mandy and Eric. It was fun to see everyone since we haven't seen them much since Lincoln was born. We stayed from about 1 until 9. And we played lots of games. It was really fun.
This is our sweet baby in his new outfit.
Payton with Lincoln. Hyrum wanted to know why Lincoln couldn't do the things that Alec and Nathan could. I tried to explain to him, that at this age a couple of months makes a BIG difference. I think he understood at least mostly.
One of the many games. We all love Ticket to Ride. I think Mandy won, but now I can't remember. Sorry if I'm wrong.

Working Mom

Sorry about the lack of blogs lately. I first of all have to say how great I think working moms are. It has been really a hard adjustment for me to work and to be a mom. (Not that I don't think full time mothers are awesome, I mean that is what I aspire to be.) And I only work half time! So for anyone out there who is a full time worker and a full time mom, props to you. I'm still working on the adjustments. It is probably a little bit harder being a teacher because I always feel like there is more that I want to do, but when I get home to see Linc, I don't want to do anything else. It probably is even made harder to do work at home when I get so worn out and stressed at school anyway that I just don't want to bring it home. 26 little five year olds can really take a lot of energy. I really wish I could just stay home all day with my beautiful babe. But I do love the blessing of having this particular job and in this particular school, despite my many complaints. It really worked out perfectly to have Lincoln so close to where I work so I minimize time away from him.

First Day

Well today I started with the kids back to school. It was a very "interesting" day. I can honestly say I've never had a worse day in my teaching career. I was going to go on and explain about it, but then I thought about how I would feel on the opposite side of things. So, I guess you just get to wonder and maybe someday in person I will explain. On the bright side of things I have some very cute kids in my class. I hope that the year goes well and I never have a day like today again.

The Sounds They Make

Linc has started making some pretty funny sounds. I was trying to catch them on camera for all to hear. He also likes to make bubbles and slobber a lot - makes for nice wet clothing.
