Summer Fun!

We have been having some fun in the sun this summer. We have done lots of activities; some of which Lincoln has not been a huge fan, but we had fun anyway.

We went to Lagoon a few weeks ago. I think Linko may have been a little too young for the rides. He didn't like them very much. When I put him on this ride, he started to cry. David told me to let him ride anyway. Lincoln wasn't very happy about that.



He didn't like the carousel very much either. I stood right by him the whole time, but it didn't make him feel any better. He even tried jumping off!

The little train was fun though. Lincoln liked looking at all the animals, but he didn't like the noise of the train tooting his whistle. We also took him to Lagoona Beach. He loves the water, but you would never know it because this is the exact face he had going down all the slides. Sometimes it is impossible to read his emotions.



Linko also enjoyed the car ride. He loves to ride in cars and this little boy was nice enough to let Lincoln ride with him.


For the 24th, our neighbors held a pool party in their back yard. We had a blast. In our mommy and me swimming class, Lincoln learned how to jump off the side of the pool so at the party, he was showing off his skills.




In SLC, we went to a baby yard sale. The woman holding the yard sale took very good care of her things. I was so excited about all my new treasures.

One of our favorite things to do is to have Lincoln's best friend, Kate, over on Wednesdays. They are so fun and they play so well together. Kate enjoys playing with Lincoln's yard sale toys too!


We made a trip to Ogden to say goodbye to my sis, Tori, before she moved away to St. Louis. She is such a funny gal. I love her tons and I am going to miss her so badly. I was too broken up when we said goodbye to each other to want to take any pictures. I regret that now, but the photos would have been hideous with my big snotty nose and swollen eyes highlighted next to Tori's beautiful face.

When we got home from visiting Tori, Lincoln had a new car waiting for him. He loves these cars so we saved up to get one for him. He was so excited to see it waiting for him in the living room, he could hardly wait to take it on a test drive.

Memory Tag

It's another tag.

Here are the directions:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty fun to see the responses...so fun!!!

A few weeks ago, we headed to Parowan to visit and to attend our little niece's baby blessing. Her name is Brooklyn and she is so sweet. What a content baby! She never cries and she is happy to sit in her swing for hours at a time. Kathi is so blessed to have a happy baby because those two other boys definitely monopolize most of her time. We had a great time visiting the fam. It was a little bit bitter sweet though because it was the last time we will all be together until Christmas. Dan and Tori are moving to St. Louis for medical school. We will miss them so much! I am proud of them, but also very sad to see them go. St. Louis is SO much farther than Ogden. :(


One of the things Lincoln likes these days is to sit on David's lap. He's always enjoyed it, but lately, he LOVES it! He'll even sit while David does the boring cross word puzzle. YUCK! When David puts his arm around Linc to take him off his lap, Lincoln just pushes his hand away because he wants to stay with his daddy. How sweet is that?

Another of Lincoln's faves is to sit in/under/on things. If there is something on the floor, he will definitely sit on it. Books, blankets, toys, mom...it doesn't matter what. He'll find a way to plant his little bum on it.

Another of Lincoln's joys is when I build forts for him. I drag some chairs into the living room and drape blankets over them. He thinks it's so cool to sit under the blankets and play with his toys. He just loves to peek under the blanket to say BOO!


Our 4th of July was so much fun! We headed to Parowan to hang with the fam and escape the freakishly hot weather. We had a great time. We started the day with a parade, followed by some races and Popsicles at the park. It was so much fun to see some friends at the park and catch up on the haps. Everyone has kids! I remember drill teaming and hanging out with all my friends just like it was last week! CRAZY!

After the park, we went back to the house and our cousins set up their new skim boarding slip-n-slide thingy. It was awesome, but kinda scary. Thank goodness that David didn't snap any shots of me attempting the thing. It was not a pretty sight.



We laid down some landscaping plastic and ran the hose on it for the babies to play on. Lincoln could have played on that stuff for hours! He had so much fun and he definitely wore himself out! He slept so well that night. What a great day.
