lincoln's baptism

we had lincoln baptised on sunday, and then a little get together at my moms house afterwards. it was a good time. thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate our little mans special day!

as you can see he was looking quite spiffy in his little white suit!!!

here is a pic of us, the godparents (trevor and amanda), and the grandparents.

hurricane cole and nic

today and friday i am watching my best friends boy cole while she works. the boys have a good time playing together, and pulling out every single toy that they lay eyes on! and considering that we own nearly every toy known to man, it is quite a mess! i swear it looks as if a hurricane has ripped through my house! here, you can see for yourself:

First they decided to take every single toy out of the toy box...and i must admit it did look like they were having a great time!

next they decided to dismantle all of the puzzles. and if i thought they were having fun emptying the toy box, then this must have been 10 times more enjoyable!

ahhhh...at long last, the eye of the storm hit!! NAP TIME!!! and actually it still is nappy time, yipee, some peace and quiet! i will enjoy it while i can, because we all know after the eye passes, the storm rages on : )

don't they just look so darn sweet?!!? they are good boys, but they are as ornery as they come!

in all actuality, it has been a fun day. nic has gotten some much needed toddler to toddler interaction. he has finally hit the terrible two's, and let me tell you it is not fun! i think it is hard on me because he was such a little sweetie for so long, and now all of a sudden he has turned into a little monster, lol!! ok, ok, so he isn't that bad, but he definitely has his moments! and from what i hear the threes are even worse! i think i may be in for a long year and a half if that is the case!

well, both boys are beginning to stir a lil bit, and i am sure it wont be much longer until the eye passes, and hurricane cole and nic begins to let all hell break loose again! so, i am off to weather the storm!

this and that

well i have been slackin' a lil bit lately on the whole blog thing...my apologies. joe and i went to the purdue game on saturday with adam and amy, and it was a really good game. purdue did lose, but they put up a valiant effort against the #16 ranked oregon ducks. it was actually one of the best purdue games i ever went to, but unfortunately the wrong team won. oh well, it was still a good time. thank you adam and amy for hooking us up with the tickets!

i have been a lil bit sad the past few days, because we found new homes for our doggies. i have been missing having them around, especially daisy. i wont miss the dog hair all over my house though! one thing i really miss is having daisy to clean up the food that gets dropped on our floor : ) i have been bending over and picking food up off the floor constantly. i miss my little vacuum cleaner! i'm sure as time passes by i wont miss them as much, but i hope i made the right decision to get rid of them. right now it just doesn't feel like i did.

well, thats all i have for now. i should probably get my butt in bed, it is past my bed time : )

Linc's 2 month check up

we took lincoln for his 2 month well baby check up yesterday. it was our first visit to our new pediatrician...i wasn't overly impressed with him. it isn't that i think he is a bad doctor, rather our old doc was just so good, that no one can quite compare. what really sucks to is that we got all of our friends and family with kids to get her as their pediatrician. so, now we can't ask them for advice on which doctor to choose for our kids, because they are all in the same boat as us : ) oh well, i'm sure it will all work itself out anyway...i just like to complain!

linc's check up went really good...he is happy, healthy, and hefty! he weighed in at 16 lbs and is 24 inches. it is hard to believe that nic was even bigger than linc is at 2 months. he weighed 17 lbs 2 oz and was 24 inches. i guess we make some big boys! and they just keep on growing too! i just can't believe that 2 months have gone by already...seems like just yesterday linc was born, hell it seems like just yesterday nic was born too. time really flies by anymore. i'm doing my best to enjoy every second of it. i just wish that there was some way to slow it down sometimes. and other times i would like a fast forward button : ) right now though, for the most part, i just really want everything to last as long as possible. ok, well i am starting to ramble, so i am gonna call it quits for the day...catch ya later, b

lincoln's 2 month pix

well aren't you all just soooo lucky today....yep, you guessed it, a double dose of blog action! wooooo hoooooo! i know you can hardly hold back the excitement. ok, i am done amusing myself now. so on to the topic at hand...lincoln's 2 month pictures. i went and had them done yesterday, and they turned out really good. of course they did, how couldn't they??? but they could have been better. our appointment was scheduled for 1:00, but we waited nearly an hour before they even got started taking pix. which was kind of aggravating because he was smiling like crazy for the entire time that we had to wait. when they finally started taking the pix, he must have been all smiled out : ) but oh well, he did give a couple of smiles, and like i said they did turn out pretty good. could have been better, but i am pleased...so here are some of my favorites:

well, thats all i have for ya today. until we meet again, b

tye dye tuesday

i know, i know, i know....here it is friday already, and i am just now posting this. but i have been busy dammit! so we got this great idea out of parents magazine to do our own tye dye's. and being the hippie that i am, i just had to do it. we had a blast doing it, (well i guess nic could have really cared less), and we got some sweeeet shirts too! i think i now have a tye dye for every day of the week and then some, which is totally awesome : ) you can never have too many tye dye's. well maybe YOU can, but I for one can not!

tye dyeing: buckets of fun for everyone...

this was as involved as nic got, he swirled a shirt around for about 5 minutes and then he was off to play with his toys. just remember to be careful, because fabric dye will dye you too...my peace sign fingers are still feeling the effect today : ) although it is nearly gone, there is still a faint green color to them.

here are a couple pics of the finished product...i must say that they came out quite nicely for people who had no clue what they were doing! but the cute little boys might make them appear a little better than what they really are, hehehe anywho, we had a lot of fun doing it, and i would recommend others to try it, even if you aren't into the whole tye dye thing. it is still a lot of fun and a good way to bond with your fam. i know i'm gonna do it again....hey maybe i can start a business : )
