Driving His Cars

(Dec. 6th, 2011)

You thought this post was going to be about Lincoln, right?
If you know Lincoln at all, you would definitely be thinking that.

Parker at 9 months, driving his cars (okay, they are Lincoln's cars) across the book.

 

He even makes sounds... "brooooommmmm..."

Playing by the fireplace.

I guess Parker is going to like cars just like his brother. That is... if Lincoln will ever learn to share them! (These pictures were during Lincoln's nap... and Lincoln will reluctantly share if I make him.)

Aquarium

In Las Vegas, at Caesar's Palace, there is a lot of shopping, but when you bring two children, you better find some entertainment!  We stopped at the statues that come to life and do a little show, but Lincoln said, "Scared. Go bye bye, Mom." So just around the corner (across from Express & Cheesecake Factory) is this wall aquarium. Lincoln was fascinated, but disappointed he couldn't find a shark. He started calling some random fish a shark. When he saw the sting rays, he was pretty excited and didn't care about finding any more sharks.

Parker is always posing for me. What a cutie. He liked the fish tank, too.

A long day of shopping (maybe 2 hours) and they were done.

This boy loves sharks. When we draw with sidewalk chalk, first Lincoln wants me to draw a pink shark, then a blue shark, then a purple shark, etc... I had to look up a cartoon picture of a shark so they actually looked like shark and not fish. In fact, there is a picture of a shark on our driveway right now!

Happy Birthday

As we were driving in the car, I told Jesse I needed to document my 27th birthday.

So here you go. This is how I looked at exactly 27 years of age.

Happy Birthday, Jesse (tomorrow)!!

Vegas

So back in August, I made a goal to lose my "baby weight" (about 15 pounds). I'll spare you the details... but as of November I met my goal!  My "prize" was getting new clothes on a shopping trip to Vegas. Lindsay & Cody came, and Leah lives there. Losing weight is not fun, but is very rewarding.

Here we are enjoying dinner at Johnny Rockets.

Me, Leah, Cody, Lindsay

Thanks to all of you who supported me through those (LONG) few months! I couldn't have done it without you (especially you, Lindsay!!).  :)
