About our Lincoln

Lincoln went in for his three year old check up and all looks well!

Stats:
Weight- 31.5 lbs, 50th%
Height- 37 inches, 50th%

And here's a little bit more about our boy at three!

He LOVES dinosaurs!  This shirt he's wearing is actually a pajama shirt and he refuses to wear other pj's.  I've bought him a handful of other dino jammies and he refuses to wear them.  I wash this particular shirt about every other day so he can wear it as much as he likes.

Lincoln hardly ever takes naps.  If he does it's documented.  The only other time he naps is if we are in the car driving somewhere in the afternoon, otherwise it's very rare to find him laying down taking a nap. The other night, he fell asleep after he ate dinner at the kitchen table.  It was adorable and thankfully he woke up on his own about 30 minutes after he fell asleep.

He's obsessed with chocolate chip cookies.  We make them weekly and we always have them in our fridge.  The moment he wakes up he asks for a cookie which ends up in crying because I tell him no.  

And he loves his sisters and follows them around everywhere.  He gets along really well with Cambree but him and Addison fight more often.  Cambree would and does give him anything he wants.  I love watching them play together and using their imaginations with one another.

Lincoln begs Benton to take him fishing.  Lincoln talks about it to Benton often.  And if they go, Lincoln is right behind him watching his daddy's every move.  Pretty much Benton's dream come true.

We sure are in love with our Linky boy, he has a big personality and has us laughing daily. We can't wait to see what fun he has as a three year old!

Happy 3rd Birthday Lincoln!

Our little man turned 3! This year was a bit crazy with family so we celebrated him one night with my parents and on his birthday with the Earl family.  He had a blast and was spoiled and loved by all. We of course did a Dinosaur theme since he's obsessed with all things dinosaurs.  Love our Linky boy so very much!

My very own Superhero!

Lincoln loves to run around wearing his capes and underwear.  Most times he says he is "Captain Underpants".  I love his imagination and smile while he's playing!

Star Valley

We spent another weekend at the cabin. Benton and I always find a bunch of things to do and work on. Hopefully really soon we won't have to work as much and will be able to relax with our kiddos. Also get more pics of what we've been up to!

Spring is here!

We are so happy the weather is finally getting nicer. We spent the afternoon at the park and loved every second of it.

The Strangest Thing

On April 11th, Lincoln came into the kitchen crawling from his bed. I thought he was kidding so I said "Are you a baby?" He replied "I'm not a baby, I'm Lincoln." But as the morning progressed he wouldn't put any weight on his left leg. I got nervous and ended up making him an appointment that afternoon with a doctor. He didn't cry or act like it hurt him. He just wouldn't walk or put any pressure on it.

Later that afternoon I took him in. They rotated his hip, knees, feet and were stumped because he didn't act like he was in pain. We took multiple sets of X-rays making sure nothing was broken or fractured. Everything came back clear. The doctor ended up consulting with another doctor and diagnosed him with Toxic Synovitis which can happen after a cold or stomach flu. Lincoln did have a cold and they said it was most likely that. It just goes away on its own and it's more common in boys 3-8 years old. I carried him most of the day otherwise he dragged his leg behind him.

The next morning he said "Lincoln CAN WALK!" He was so thrilled as was I. I'm so thankful he was better after just one day. Makes you appreciate all the things we take for granted. I'm so happy to see him running around now and back to his normal self.

Happy Easter!

We hung out at our home in the morning and then took Linda to the airport. The kids had fun finding their Easter baskets!

Afterwards we went to lunch at my parents house and visited for a bit. The kids also did an Easter egg hunt that my parents set up at their house.

It really was a fun day spent together with our family!

Cousin Sleepover

At the end of March we took my sister in law's two youngest boys for a few days while they were moving. It was crazy having a 7 year old, 5 year old, 4 year old and two 2 year olds. But we had a lot of fun! And it was nice since my mother in law, Linda was in town as well. It helped having her in town to keep the kids busy!

We took them on the Heber Creeper Train and out to lunch and they all loved it!

Even though it was chaotic, I was so happy to help and have these cute boys with us for a couple days!
