Welcome Oakley!!

I guess I should update the blog, my mom keeps bugging me about it!!  Love you mom!!
A lot has happened in the last year in a half, but the most significant happened just recently.......we welcomed a sweet little baby girl into our family!!  We named her Oakley and she is amazing, sweet and healthy.  We really do feel blessed to have her join the ranks!! 

Born March 15th

Snuggles with Grandma!

There are a ton of good pics on Jake's phone, but of course I cant get them on the dang computer, so I will have to get a another daddy/daughter pic to post.....more to come!

We were lucky enough to make it down to see the lights on temple square with Jake's fam. Christmas just isn't quite complete without the trip, we love it!! And this year Lincoln was actually old enough to notice and like all the lights. When he saw all the lights he kept saying, "Ooooohhhh!"


Oh man.....beautiful, right?! Yeah I got some random peeps in there.....


My Daddy and I


Grandpa and Grandma Wittwer!!


Just wanted to walk with dad. We decked Linc out in all his snow clothes cuz it was seriously cold!! He looked like a big jet-puffed marshmallow....a cute one for sure!


Jake's sis and fam met us there, one of their kids is MIA.......no biggie


See it's my little marshmallow puff


Our little fam


All the kiddos


IN OTHER NEWS............

Like a month or two ago....I know, cut me some slack, my mom, sisters and I went on a much needed girls weekend. We had the kids the first night, then our AMAZING hubbies took the kids the other two nights. Seriously just what I needed! Hot tub time, shopping and dinner out with no kiddos!!!

While we had the kids....they were seriously so cute.....they all were on the couch bed watching, "The Lion King"....well more like watching it here and there, but I had to capture this cute little cousin moment.

Grandma jumped in on the fun!


So the resort we went to didn't allow kids under 5 in the hot tubs.....boooo......what we didn't know was that it is not really an enforced rule, didn't know that till after the kiddos were gone. So we let them have there own little hot tub party in the big tub. They had so much fun!!


This is of course after our shopping day.......


Having some good fun!

Linc's favorite things......

So I know, slacking on the blog thing.....but here are some of the things we have been up to the last couple of months.....

Lincoln LOVES:

TREEHOUSE!!!


Cousin Katie and Linc on the job together


Big cousin Jackson helping out the community!


Linc would sit on this dinosaur and hop all over the museum.....it was so hilarious cuz he is a little clumsy.


Cousin Kaity....never camera shy!


SHOES!!!

Just trying on some good old flip flops


Daddy's shoes.....a little harder, big shoes.....


Did I say he likes shoes!? Can you see all the other discarded shoes lying around, tried them all on!


FRIENDS!!!

well......maybe girlfriends!


Corn Maze Fun! He looks not so sure


Together at last.....at least Lucy is happy!


Swinging with my girl!


Yay...more friends, and cars!! PERFECT


CARS!!!!.....well anything that moves..




I miss summer.....




awwww.......grandpa and cousins!! Linc will seriously just sit on their four wheeler for ever! It doesn't even really have to be moving!


I love when daddy gives me a ride!




US!!!!

Well, we are of course a favorite thing!


Riding Grandpa and grandma's pony! When he first saw this thing, he cried and would
not even get close to it.........its soft and cute....what the heck is so scary!! But of course, he
warmed up to the pony and loves it!

GAMING??

Playing games with daddy!


We had these extra rather large headphones laying around, and luckily
they look just like daddy's!!



My first corn dog!!! Gross right? I know, but he's a kid he had to
try one!

Daddy and I

This is what I love about summer, just playing outside and having fun........does summer really have to be so short?!!



Linc is so into anything sports, cars, airplanes and anything that has an engine and moves........what a boy!


Just showing dad how to shoot some serious hoops!





TRIP TO OUR LITTLE ZOO......


Lincoln did like the animals, I promise!!! But he REALLY liked to just push the stroller....who knew!

We went with some friends and this is their little girl, Lucy. She on the other hand loved feeding the ducks and just watching them. Lincoln could really care less!


Not sure what happened here....


Mr. Independent!!

Oh and for the last month Lincoln has HAD to use a fork to eat.....and I do mean it is a necessity!! He has had a complete meltdown before if he can't use one, and of course it is always at someone else's house!


He just wanted to use a fork one morning and I let him, fully expecting him to be terrible at it......but to my surprise he was seriously a pro!!




He was pretty happy with his success!!
