Memorial Day

It is always nice to have a three day weekend to spend with the Family. Although Justin did spend most of his Saturday in Pahrump at the paintball field and Lincoln and I spent the afternoon at work. We did manage to find some together time the rest of the weekend.

We took Lincoln to the park on a glorious Sunday afternoon. I think we almost lulled him to sleep in the swing, but he did seem to enjoy it. He was not too sure about the slides though. (I think he is still a little young for those!)





He also had a blast working with his dad in the yard on Monday. Especially when he found out that it included the opportunity to play in the water!

Vacation for Eight!

Who knew Disneyland could be so fun without kids! Justin and I spent a long weekend with friends at Disneyland and we definitely have some new tales to tell. We encountered everything from a Tidal Wave on Splash Mountain to an unscheduled stop on Pirates of the Caribbean.
It was so much fun to just relax, spend time with friends, and sleep through the night without a baby monitor in the background.

Another Attempt!

Well, as anyone can plainly see my last attempt at using a blog failed miserably-considering my last post was in September 2007. And it would have probably stayed that way, except that a certain friend of mine (Lisa) keeps telling me how easy it is and that I really need to catch up with the times. So here I am on Vacation trying to take her advice and get this whole blogging thing going. I guess only time will tell!

The Blogging Thing

Well, it seems like the entire world is blogging. So I thought I better get with the picture. Especially if I want to keep considering myself computer savvy. I guess we'll see how long it lasts.

It's a girl!

Lincoln has a new cousin! Rachel had a little girl. She was born on July 30 and I have to say she is a cutie. But she definitely does not look like most of the other ones have. She has dark hair and a darker complexion than the rest of them have this early. The name they chose was Mabry JoAnn.

1 Month Old!

Lincoln is 1 Month old today! I can't believe how fast time goes by. And I can not believe how fast he is growing either! He already has such a strong personality for such a little guy. Life has definitely changed. I get a lot less sleep and a lot less time in the day- or at least that is how it feels. But the loss of these things does not seem to matter because I have a cute little boy who has taken center stage!

Rachel is going to be induced in less than two days. Unless the baby decides to come on its' own. (But the doctor does not have high hopes as that has not happened with any of the past four!)
I still can not believe she does not find out what she is having. I am routing for a boy so my little man will have a pal to grow up with. Although I am sure if it is a girl they will have just as much fun together! I guess we just have to wait and see!

Lincoln's First Holiday!

Happy 4th of July! It is extra special for us this year as it Lincoln's first holiday! So not only are we celebrating our countries freedom, but we get to celebrate the birth of our son! He is a little young for Fireworks so we stayed at home and watched fireworks on TV while Justin went over to a friends house for a little while. (It's the one time a year were men can let their love of fire and explosions show and no one worries about them!)
