Christmas!!

This is what our house looked like Christmas morning. I didn't get a "before" picture because Linc went crazy on the presents. It was such a fun year and both the boys loved every minute of it. Santa really spoiled us this year!!





Kinda sad that this was his favorite present...

A couple days after Christmas we had two of our favorite people over!! Yeah!!

Check out how this chica sleeps!!

We hope you all had one of the best Christmas' ever!! We know we did!!

Family Pictures

We had our family pictures taken last month by Luke's cousin Krista. She did such a great job and we were so glad we could bribe her into doing it!! After all...my boys aren't the easiest when it comes to taking pics!!..and boy were they a handful that day!

**Thanks again Krista! You are the best!

Lincoln's Birthday!!

So, Linc's birthday is just 5 days before Christmas..I know..not fun at all. I didn't do the usual huge party this year..It was nice but not near as fun ;) Linc LOVES going to McDonald's playland so thats where we held it. He had all of his closest friends there. I was horrible at taking pictures and didn't get near as many as I wanted...

Since I use my blog as a journal I'll post some of my favorite things about Linc..

~He LOVES babies...he is just like Luke in that way. He calls baby girls "hon" and "sweetie" Last week we were driving in the car and had this conversation,

Linc-"Mom, I want you to go the the hospital"

Me-"Why buddy?"

Linc-"Because I want you to pick up a baby sister!!"

Me-"Oh really Linc...what would you name her?"

Linc-"Umm..Zoey..no actually Mia...mom I really want a baby sister."

This kid loves being a big brother.

~He is a worry wart(not that from his daddy too!)Even in the car he reminds me to drive careful so that I don't run into another car.

~He is so observant. He even notices when I get a new purse or earrings. He loves to shop and go to the mall.

~One day while pulling out of the driveway he says,"Wait mom!! You forgot to do my hair!!" I love it!

~Last week Linc says,"Mom...I kinda wish Ledger was a puppy."...so random!!

~The kids eats a ton and is still super skinny!! Last week at McDonalds he ate 2 hamburgers and a small fry...I don't know where he puts it!!

Lincoln adds so much spunk to our home and we love him so much.

Another Boise Weekend...

A few weeks ago my parents got Boise State football tickets and invited us to go. We had such a blast. Our first night we went to dinner at Joe's Crab shack. The dinner was great and the boys loved playing outside while we waited...
















On Saturday, everyone went to the football game. They were short one ticket so I was more than happy to spend the day at the mall. The boys and I had lots of fun. We were there for about 5 hours. This is mostly why they were so good....



Ledger slept like this for over 2 hours. It was great. I got so much shopping done!



Linc sat in this window in Forever 21 for like a 30 mins just watching people walk by...

We couldn't go to Boise without seeing Shawn and Chels and the girls so we met up with them after the game. The boys missed lil Zo-Zo.

I love this picture...cracks me up every time I see it. If you can't tell, Linc is feeding Zo an apple. I love it.

Luke and Ellie

And this is Linc on the way home..the drive got a little boring;)

Trick or Treat....

Halloween week was fun but very eventful. It was the first year that Linc really got into it so he wanted to do lots of things. Lincoln went as a fireman and Ledger went as a Dalmatian. Ledger HATED his costume but was forced to get used to it. :)

We started out the week with Lincoln's school Halloween party. Lincoln does not like masks and gets easily scared..he was even scared of some of the boys costumes at school..but got over it fast.

Linc and Carson

We also went to Boo at the Zoo with some friends. We had never been and I thought it was awesome. There were so many cute costumes there and it was a perfect weather. It was pretty crowded but we didn't mind.

Susie, Oliva, Lincoln and Ledger

Doing what they do best...eating patties.

Delish...

On Halloween night we went trick or treating to Grandma Shirleys, G & G Searle, Papa and Mimi's and Papa and Gogo's. Needless to say the boys have enough candy to last us a year...

Bella, Linc and Ledger at Papa and Mimi's

At Papa and Gogo's....

How cute is the vintage fire truck???

And this is Linc trying to scare the camera..its actually kinda working...

These are just some pics I took tonight...probably the last nice night we are going to get in awhile...

Just "workin". Linc's favorite thing to do.




My kids have clothes I promise...they just rarely wear them Ha Ha.
