just some pix...

I have been slacking a little lately when it comes to my blog, so i thought i would put some pix on to show what we have been up to. Nic has been having fun playing outside and in the water too, and linc is eating mostly big people food these days....walking isn't too far off either! but he keeps on falling and bruising himself....poor guy!

Seven Years

Yesterday was mine and Joe's 7th anniversary! We went out for lunch at Scotty's and then saw Angels and Demons. After the movie we went for a walk across the pedestrian bridge and down Main St. It was nice to spend a little bit of quality time together.....we don't get these opportunities very often anymore with two kiddos usually in tow : )

Joe and I on our walk....On our walk we spotted the bride and groom dogs and had to get a pic of them....we thought it was rather appropriate for our anniversary!

It was a great day and it has been an even better seven years! 7 down and forever to go!

big boy lincoln

My little lincoln has a new talent.....pulling himself up to his feet! Now nothing is safe! I'm sure he will be walking before i know it........ HA HA mom i'm ready to get into everything now!

And i'm gonna start climbing on things like a little monkey too!

Mother's Day and other fun

On Mother's Day we went to church in the a.m. with my mom and then went back to her house for brunch....Jim and Ryan did all the cooking and cleaning! The boys played outside and cousin zack came over for a visit and joined in the fun : ) In the afternoon, after naps, we went to visit Nana(joe's mom) We had a good visit with her and George, and then came home for dinner. Linc was sick all weekend (and still isn't 100%) But all in all it was a great Mother's Day weekend. There is nothing better than spending time with my boys! Action shot of nic running at grandma's house

Nic and Zack striking a pose

It has been pretty nice outside recently so we have been trying to get outside alot. The boys love it out there!Nic playing with his bug net...which will probably never be used for its intended purpose.....poor child is still scared of all things creepy crawly (and many other things as well, ha) he is a bit of a chicken!

my boys playing outside....linc does pretty good playing in the grass, but he tries to put everything in his mouth.....so i have found that the exersaucer (aka baby jail) is the best place for him : )

This is just a random picture that i think is super cute!

3 year and 9 month check ups

We took Nicolas and Lincoln to the doctor today for their check-ups. They are both healthy big boys....Nic weighed in at 41 lbs and is 39 1/4 inches tall. Linc is up to 23lbs 12 oz and 29 1/4 inches tall. Both are on the larger end of the spectrum for their ages, but this is nothing new to us : ) Lincoln is getting so big already! He is still doing the army crawl, but is starting to pull himself up to things a little bit. You can not turn your back on him for one second, or he is getting into something that he shouldn't be : ) He has teeth busting through left and right...he got his first 3 teeth within a week! He waves and says "Hi" and points his finger and says "No, No" This is pretty cute and funny too!

Nicolas is doing a lot of fun stuff too. He has mastered colors, shapes, numbers, and now letters too! Now we need to get him reading and writing, and he will be all set for preschool in the fall. That's right, my baby will be starting preschool this fall!

Well, that's all i have for today....only 3 posts in one day : ) But i was quite behind!

Nicolas is 3!!!

The 17th of April was Nic's 3rd birthday....(and i can not believe it has been 3 yrs already!!!) We celebrated at home the day of his birthday, and he opened his gifts from us. On the 18th we had a party for him....Thomas themed of course. It was a fun day, and Nic got lots of presents.....actually, he was totally spoiled!

Nic saying "I'm 3!" Happy Birthday big boy!

Nic with his cake that grandma Rems made for him...she did a fabulous job as usual!
