ThE CaTcH Up GaMe!!

Kaity's birthday was last month, she's a big 4 year old now!! She had a little fam party at Chuck E. Cheese. However, the only person Kaity would really need there is little Parker....they are best friends. It was fun to share her special day with her! Thanks Carrolls!

Kaity and Parker are having fun........Kaity is throwing me a fake smile and Parker is telling me how many tickets he got doing what game. Their having way too much fun to let Aunt Lindsey take a pic!


Our little fam gamin' in up!! P.S. I told you I would chop my hair!!


Dylan and Markham got the most tickets by far.....Dylan was especially good at this football game......pretty intense huh?


I guess Markham is a slave to his tickets....


All this playing is tiring!


Hey Ash!!


yum........these little meat sticks taste goooooood!


April and little Jacks..sweet


All the tickets we earned went to getting Kaity and Parker some prizes. It was so cute though, because Parker gave Kaity the rest of his tickets so she could get two prizes: a ball and a cute little Dora lunch box.....what a sweety!!

Daddy & me....ohhh and girlfriends

So this summer has been full of craziness........Linc was born.....2 week hospital trip.......and Jake has been busily trying to get our yard done. That's right our back yard has been a big patch of tall tall nasty weeds! Jake finished our park strip, put in sprinklers, brought in a LOT of gravel and dirt and got the back all ready for grass and a patio. I know it doesn't sounds like much.....but we had some distractions! Grass and a patio will have to be put off till spring, winter's coming way too soon!!


So Jake rented this thing....um I think it might be called a skidster, something like that, to bring in tons of gravel. Linc wanted to experience it with daddy!!




Our next house will definitely have the yard done....its been tons of work and $$$!!! But hey this is our first house.....we couldn't get everything we wanted!

Here's Linc with his little girlie friend...Lucy....awwwww.


Geesh Linc.....getting a little fresh!


Lucy is our sweet little neighbor girl, the Orme's are good friends of ours....what a cutie guys!! These two are going to walk to school together and be the best of friends.....who knows maybe more!!

Destination: Arizona!

Linc and I we were lucky enough to spend some time in Sedona and St. George with April and her kiddos and the parents. Yup....that's right poor Monte was the only man there!! The poor hubby's had to stay home and make the bacon. There were definitely some hard nights, where I wondered why I went on the trip......but they were few and I had a lot of fun during the days!! We spent a lot of time at the pool, went shopping at all the little shops and of course relaxed!!


I decided at the end of the week to try taking Linc in the pool. I was fully prepared for him to hate it and cry and fuss....but to my sweet surprise he loved it!! Woo Hoo!!!

Okay okay he did pull this little face....but only after I blew in his little face and dunked him. He has to get used to the water fast.....I love the pool so he has to too!!!


SO FUN!!


Awwwww.........what a heartthrob!!!

So these are pics of Jacks, he was so hilarious because he had no fear of the water. I mean that's normal with kids but even after he feel in the water repeatedly he still loved it!! He was actually doing it on purpose and April was just there to pull him out!!



Check it out!!! He is coming out from being completely submerged and he's laughing!! Whoa



Aunt Jan, Cousin Brooke and little Carsen came to St. George for the day and it was awesome!!! Kaity and Carsen just loved playing together!!


This is Linc napping before his adventure in the pool......I mean he's practically doing the splits!!


No one is really looking at the camera but April, but I had to post it because of the face Kaity is pulling!! What a spaz right!! Oh my gosh her mouth is so big!! HILARIOUS

What a good little cousin Kaity is....being so sweet with Linc. She was my big helper with everything Lincoln. Job description: Binkie, wipe, diaper, blanket, clothes finder. What a good little runner!!

Hehe.......everything is going according to plans......whooooowaaaahaaa








Here we are enjoying the little shops in "uptown" Sedona!!! There was like this crazy rain storm while we were shopping....of course!!

April with here little man Jacks......he loves the water too, we are just a fish family I guess!

We had a blast and it was nice to get out and have some fun....I was starting to feel a little cooped up doing the same thing everyday! So thank you Mom and Frump, we enjoyed our vacation with you guys!!! Thanks for putting up with all the chaos!! Love you!

Unfortunately, our little Ash couldn't make it...she had to work, which is a good excuse I guess!! But we missed you girlie!

THE MANY FACES OF LINCOLN WITTWER

Have any of you ever seen that t-shirt: The many faces of Chuck Norris? Well u may have seen my hubs wearing it.....hilarious!! Except Chuck Norris has the same expression for every emotion.....he's way to bad !*@ to show any emotion! Well Linc seems to have a little bit more dimension....so here u go!!

ohhhh..........ANGER/SADNESS

LADIES MAN!!


APPREHENSION......


CONCENTRATION


HAPPINESS


In other news....

Gabe, my little nephew had his baby blessing a week ago......don't be surprised.....he is no small fry!!

Sweet Lily giving the man of the hour some loves


Gabe's fam......the Frisons. This is the best pic I could get: Gabe's outfit was unsnapping (because of his size?....no..), Arianna was crying with a snotty nose, mom and dad were laughing.....they felt a little defeated at getting a good fam pic....Jaylen is really the only one paying attention!! Turned more into a candid!


The three boy cousins....when they get older, I am afraid they will be little trouble makers together......and get dirty...stress Oh by the way Aden is 9 months and Gabe is 4 1/2 months.....Gabe is bigger than Aden!!!!....and then there's little ity bity Linc


So we blessed Linc a month ago and I am so awesome and on top of things that I forgot to get any pics!!! Where is my head lately!! Anyway we snapped a couple pics of Linc.....wearing the same outfit trying to re-create the moment!! I know, ghetto.


Grandpa and Grandma Wittwer


What a sweet innocent little boy!


I love Aunt Genny


Amber and Chelsea.........what hotties!!!


awwww.....fam pic.....ewww...sick of my hair......I am cutting it off.....!

Island Park!!!

So I am a huge slacker with the pics.....these are the only pics I have to document this years Island Park Trip!!! BOO!! And we actually had the opportunity to stay for a whole week, even though it doesn't look like it......

While the boys were fishing......ewwww....us girls and the kiddos went on a "nature walk"......yeah we didn't see any animals, but that is good.....I would have wet myself!! Grandma Roz is taking the pic...she was there though!!


Some down time with the Linc.....they both look exhausted, right?


It was so funny, there are always "squills," like the kids would say, at the cabin hanging out for food. Of course we leave peanuts around so they can store up as much as they would like......aren't we just so friendly? Well, Jaylen loved actually feeding them by hand....these little things were fearless, they came right up to him!! So CUTE!!! Oh yeah....did I mention squirrels carry rabies.........


Here's our little friend now, full belly and happy just basking in the sun!

Anyway this year was really pretty chill.....we had Linc and Jake's sis had a 4 month old, Gabe, so we were a little bit more cabin bound this year. But you know what it was still a blast......becuase we did get to go four-wheeling a ton, Jake's parents were so swwweeet to watch little Linc for us so we could go be crazy, on their machines no less!!! Thanks so much Rozzie and Jeff!!!

We were lucky enough to make a quick trip home to see my parents a couple weeks ago....always a good time!!! We got to ride the jet skis and just have fun while grandma watched little Lincoln for a little bit. Of course I didn't get pics of the awesome fun we had....I have been so terrible with pics lately!! But be glad u didn't see them......swimming suits....yikes! But wow, it was so fun!!! After being cooped up with the babes for so long.....it was amazing to get out and have some serious fun!!

Here's our attempt at getting a good fam pic.......all I see is Jake.....hmmm....maybe we'll back up a little next time!!!



Hey grampa and grandma!!! Good pic!!


I think focusing without crossing his eyes might still be a skill that will need further practice!!!


That's better!!


Lincoln is now 2 months old yesterday!!! Wow!!




He still loves to be bundled up all cuddly!!! And he LOVES his swing......wow and to think I wasn't going to get one....cuz I am so cheep!! But I am so glad I gave in....it just rocks him to sleep every time without fail!!
