Does he look like he has had enough partying?

Cousins

All the cousins at the party!

Lincon's 1st Birthday!

He was crying because we wanted him to blow out the candle before he got to eat it!

"Ma Ma?"

I have been playing this alot lately because I have had many unsuccessful attempts at getting this to work on the blog. Anyway, everytime Lincoln hears it, he stops and does his "tricks" with the recording. It is pretty cute because he always looks pretty confused when he looks at me and sees I am not talking!

Montana (Beartooth Mountains)

Montana Trip

We flew to Montana for my best friend from high school's wedding. We got Lincoln up at 5:45 a.m. to catch the plane so needless to say it was a weird day for him! He did pretty well considering the circumstances- his favorite thing to do was push up and pull down the window on the airplane.

Toilet Paper

One of Lincoln's favorite things to do...

Swimming!

Biking!

Lincoln's current FAVORITE activity. He is not so fond of the helmet, but tolerates it since he loves riding so much. His face lights up when I ask him if he wants to go for a bike ride!

Lincoln swimming with his dad, Uncle Nate, and cousin Caleb at Great-Grandma Doris' apartment. !t was his first time in a big pool and he loved it-especially while he was in the raft.

North Dakota Trip

Top Left: One of Lincoln's favorite positions! This was at a gas station on the way to Fargo...one of the many stops!

Top Right: Grandpa Doug gave me a great hairstyle (he wet and combed his hair down so it wasnt sticking up...) it only stayed down like that for a little while!

Bottom: At the reception of Tom and Kelly Scheid's Wedding

Funny Face

Lincoln only did this for a few weeks, but it sure was funny when he did it. He would scrunch up his nose and do this fierce blowing sound. He pretty much did it to everyone that talked to him for awhile!

This xylophone is Lincoln's favorite toy.
You can tell by all his squealing!:)

Jumping

Happy Birthday Great-Grandma Doris!

Farewell Michaela!

We said goodbye to Michaela last weekend as she heads to Lima, Peru for a one year missions trip. We will miss her, but are very proud of her for her desire to share Jesus' love and message of salvation!

Playing with Toby and Mia

My friend Becky's kids, Toby and Mia, playing with Lincoln at a barbecue we had at our house for our small group.

sleeping

Lincoln's new favorite way to sleep. He always turns this direction now, and seem to enjoy poking his feet between the rails!

Tickle Tickle

A Job Well Done!

Matt and his Dad and brother fixing our fence. Thank you so much Ed and Joel! Matt is relieved he didn't have to do that by himself!

"They don't call me Mr. Fix-It for Nothin"

Trip to the Park

We took Lincoln to the park and tried out some of the playground equipment. He didn't really get too excited about anything but the swings. It was pretty cold out even though it was the last weekend in April. I had to get his hat out of a tub that I had already packed away with winter stuff!

Football?

I was saying how cute this pic was when Matt told me he looked like he was getting ready to go play football. I guess he sort of does with that "helmet"!

Swinging!

Emily and Lincoln

Last week my friend Erin came over with her little girl Emily, who was born exactly one week before Lincoln! Needless to say, they were fascinated with each other! They both kept touching each other; specifically Lincoln was pulling Emilys hair! It was alot of fun to watch them.

Am I crazy?

I may be crazy, but I am going to attempt to start a blog. I decided our life was interesting enough for one now that Lincoln is around...:) He does so many cute things these days so it will be good to share them.
