Photo Catch-Up

Hi There!

Here is a photo catch-up of what's been going on!

Here is Link and Brandon at the beach:

Here is Link helping Brandon mow the lawn - with me being supportive:

Here is Link with shaving cream just like his daddy!

These are us at Brandon's G'ma Aton's House - having fun playing outside:

Well, lots has happened since I blogged last. Lincoln started a class called "Cherubs" for kids ages 0-4 where they sing and learn about different things. It is so fun to watch him! He loves being around the other kids.

The other day Lincoln was up in our bathroom and he grabbed Brandon's deoderant, uncapped it then lifted up his shirt and started rubbing it on his belly! It was SO cute!

Lincoln has been climbing on everything lately: the chairs, the coffee tables, the piano... he hasn't quite made it out of his crib yet, but he's been half-heartedly trying. I'm not looking forward to when he can get out of his bed. I don't quite know what to do after that. Do you lock them in their rooms? What if they can't climb back in by themselves? What if they get up and destroy their room by taking everything out of their drawers, and rummaging through their dirty clothes hamper and such? Yeah, I'm glad he hasn't figured that out yet.

I've been doing lots of crafts lately - I need to post some pictures... just some cute halloween stuff so far.

All this month I've been watching a cute 5 year old boy named Chase. I pick him up from school and watch him until his mom, my friend Erin, comes and gets him from work. Chase and Lincoln get along REALLY well - I'm SO glad! In lots of ways it is easier with two instead of just one kid. I'm looking forward to having more.

So, I'm following "Dancing with the Stars" this season and it's really good so far. I really like how Jennifer Gray dances but there are some really good ones this season. I'm also following "The Biggest Loser" but it just started so I don't know many of the contestants yet.

Other shows I like are: Burn Notice, Lie to Me, and America's Got Talent

I follow all of them on Hulu.com because we don't have cable of satellite TV, we just watch movies on our television, which I like because if not I would be watching TV all day long and get nothing done! Not good.

Lincoln likes to watch anything with Elmo, and a kids show called "Caillou" it's really cute about a 4 year old boy with a little sister and a mom and dad.

Anyway, that's all for now!

Brandon's Birthday!

Here is Brandon's Birthday "Cake"
It is a pixel image of Link from the Nintendo game Zelda

It took 192 mini cupcakes!

The Birthday Boy!

Madelyn (my niece), Lincoln, and Me (I'm in the middle of telling Lincoln to look at the camera - I probably smiled a second later =P )

Ashlyn (my niece) - SO CUTE!

Mike and Erin (my brother and sister-in-law) were there as well - but they were taking the pictures...I should have grabbed the camera and taken more pics! (dang it!)
