HURRAY SPRING

We have finally had a few days where the weather has graced us with some warmth. So we have tried to be outside as much as possible. Linc is enjoying the freedom to actually be outside for more than 60 secs and not to be outside to just go in or out of the car. I think I am more excited for spring this year cause it will be more than just pushing Linc in s stroller goggling over how amazing adorable my son is. We went to the park yesterday and Linc and I played while Trisha studied. Linc decided he wanted to push his stroller and he got about 20 meters away before I went after him. We went to the store to get a few summer things and I just had to get him some bubbles. He loves the bubbles. It was the very first thing I did when we got back from the store. We also got this rad little swimming pool that has a slide and a fountain. I would have set the pool up yesterday if Trisha had let me. So when summer is here send your kiddies over to play in the pool.

Lincs 1st Dental Appointment

So being friends with the dental office across the hall from my office I get all the best information on dental care. So in our effort to be good parents we are following their advice and brought Linc in for a dental exam. The thought is if we bring him in regularly then he will get use to being in a dentist chair. I am hoping it works because I personal HATE going to the dentist with all the poking, prodding, drilling and just unpleasantness of the whole experience. I'm a rabid anti-dentite. Linc loved running around the office and smiling at the girls and then came time to look into his mouth. He didn't like that so much but I think he'll live. All in all any time he gets to run around and smile at girls he is happy. When Lincoln gets older you fathers out there had better hide your daughters .

Who doesn't love easter?

Who doesn't love Easter? Candy, eggs and more candy so like I said what's not to love? Trisha works weekends nights (what a great combo) so I had to keep Linc from his basket until she got home. As you can tell from the photos Linc was just tearing into his basket and he was all over my special pick for him his Patrick cookie (I later shared the nice dry cardboard tasting cookie with Ben & Sam). We had to get ready early since we were going to Fruitland to be with Trisha's family for church. The travel up their threw off Linc's morning nap which made the rest of the day's nap schedule really fun. The best thing for Linc about having Grandparents so close is he gets double the easter basket (again more candy). Linc enjoyed the egg hunt with the running (walking in his case) around and finding things but he needed a lot of coaching from mom. Next year I'll have him tackling his cousins and taking their candy because they all manged to get a lot of his candy from him. Enjoy the pics.

Lincoln gets 3 birthdays

Lincoln sure is a special boy he got to celebrate his 1st birthday 3 times and he got cake 3 days in a row. We did cup-cake with a candle on his actual birthday (the 13th of March in case you are wondering) but he was very tired that he wasn't into it all. He just had to get him ready for bed and that was that.

Then next day while I was at work Trisha, my Mom and Terra gave him another cup-cake and re-sang him happy birthday and he did much better with a lot more smiles.

Then we had his "birthday party" up in Fruitland with a bunch of his aunties, uncles, cousins, grandparents, great grandma, great aunties and you get the point. Lots of craziness with everyone running around. He did pretty good with his presents with a lot of help from me and surprisingly his cousins didn't get overly involved. When we got to the cake (his 3rd one and the best one because his Nanna made it and it was a caterpillar) he was again getting tired and he really didn't into his cake and I tried to get him to eat the cake but he was done and just wanted mommy. One for three isn't to bad is it?

One of Linc's presents was a pirate ship which cousin Sam persistently keep asking if he could finish opening so he could play with it. We told him he had to come to Linc's house to play with it so he alternated between asking to play with it to asking to go to "Trisha's" house. It was a great time.

The pink high chair is because it's cousin Madison high chair.
