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!!

Cabin Fever..........

We were able to go to Island Park with the Wittwer fam and stay in the family cabin.....it was awesome!! Jake loves the cabin and was so stoked to go.......it's over way too quick!!


Jake took Lincoln on his very first 4-wheeler ride while we were there and he loved it!! The helmet was seriously so huge on his little head, but he didn't mind at all....


We went down to Big Springs to feed the huge trout that hang out there........but to our surprise we got to see a little water muskrat and a couple adorable little duck families with ducklings.....the kids loved it!!


We brought a ton of bread to feed the fish and ducks, but Linc was more into eating the bread!! He loves eating things whole now and biting it off himself.......if we tear it up for him, he's not so happy....growing up!


Travis and Kay......


Ariana enjoyed the bread more than feeding it to the ducks too!


Rashad finally got back from Korea a week before we went so it was so fun to have him there!!! Welcome home Shad!!


awwww.....grandpa and grandma Wittwer!! Or like the kids call them.......papa and gaga!


Our little fam enjoying the beautiful scenery!!!


He can however, also do a pretty good stinker face.......wow what a sass already!



Watching the cute little ducklings


Amber, Gabe and Grandma


My little smiley man!!


There is seriously nothing Linc likes more than to be on daddy's shoulders.....he always gets the biggest grin and jabbers like crazy.


Awwwwww....my favorite place!




We went into Yellowstone to go to the mud pots and of course Firehole. We went to the mud pots first and then headed to Firehole......to our surprise it was closed!!! I was sooooo mad!! Not a word about it being closed at the front gate when we paid our stinking $25.00 to get in the park!! Super Lame of Yellowstone!! Anyway, here's about half the clan......at the mud pots.


The two pregs!!
