The Proof Is In The Chub

My boy is finally starting to "chub out" as Kensie says. Check out those cheeks and chin{s}! I love it!

I'm In Trouble Now!

The Big "3"

I can't believe my Lincoln turned three today! He's such a cute boy. He's at such a fun age- curious about everything. He always keeps me laughing with his funny comments and silly dances. He's quite the ham. We're celebrating his birthday on Saturday-pics to come! I asked him some questions today and here are his answers:

What's your favorite color- black

Favorite food- Cafe Rio

Favorite TV Show- Super Why

Favorite animal- dog

Favorite person- seal

What you like about Jackson- he's black {who knows?!}

What you like about Kensie- she plays with me and goes to school

What you like about Daddy- he watches movies with me and wrestles

Favorite place- Dinosaur museum

Favorite thing to wear- my own shirt that grandma gave me

Lincoln's three year stats: Height- 37 inches, Weight- 33 pounds

Happy Birthday Bud!!

Another Find

Okay, I just discovered another computer treat that I am in love with. One of my "resolutions" this year is to read the standard works. I was searching for reading schedules and found this awesome website called ReadTheScriptures.com. You enter in which book of scriptures you want to read, which reading schedule you prefer {30 days, 1 chapter a day, etc.}, and where you want to start. Then they send you an email with your first reading assignment. You can read it right on your email or listen to it on the audio link {which I LOVE}. When you've finished you click completed and they send you the next one. Amazing! If you still prefer reading from your actual scriptures {which I am partial to} it at least gives you a good schedule to keep to. Hopefully I'll get through them all this year.........this program should help.

Edward and Bella

What do you think? I'm not so sure. I've pictured them so differently. Ah, well. That's what happens when you read the books first. I'm sure I'll get used to it {especially if the movie's good}. It will be interesting to see the rest of the cast. Jacob? Charlie? Alice? Jasper? Who knows what they'll look like?!

A Christmas Treat {or two} For You

For your viewing pleasure......a few clips of our holiday fun.

#1: Kensie reading notes from Santa {one regarding her tooth and another about the cookies}. Lincoln's excavator in the background is a bit distracting.....

#2: Kensie's school Christmas program. This is their Christmas Lullaby song. Of course I HAD to sit in front of the unruly child who wouldn't keep his trap shut. Oh well....

Read{er} This

I just discovered google reader and am in love! Basically all you do is enter in any blogs you visit (or other sites) and it will let you know when they have been updated. No more clicking on every blog to see if there is a new post. Less time on the computer is always a good thing! I just go to my Google Reader account and they tell me which ones have a new post. I also like that they don’t send you emails when something is new. You have to go to your Google Reader to find out. I get enough emails already.

Anyway, just thought I'd share. Try it out if you haven't already. It's a time-saver, especially for checking those blogs that aren't updated all that often {you know who you are}.

Seven Months Old

Jackson's already coveting his brother's new bike. He is a happy and active 7 month old. He is moments away from crawling, which I am not quite ready for. I miss my baby!! He still cuddles, though, which makes me happy! He hasn't sprouted any teeth yet. His siblings both had teeth at this age so I'm just waiting for one to appear. He LOVES to eat- especially "real" food {aka bread, cheerios, etc.}. I'm thinking he'll make lineman after all. He's totally into his toys. He'll sit on the floor surrounded by toys and be good to go for awhile {usually at least long enough for me to do the dishes, get some laundry done, or do a bit of blogging}. He is at such a fun age! Always learning.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And auld lang syne? For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne,We'll take a cup of kindness yet, For auld lang syne!

auld lang syne = times gone by
{I know you've always wondered....}
