Lincoln's First Haircut

BEFORE

AFTER
Lincoln was born with quite a bit of hair but he always had a little bald spot in the front, right in the middle so when his hair got to be about two inches long it looked like he had horns!! He was still totally adorable of course but it was time for a cut so we buzzed it off and I love feeling his soft little hair. It is already coming in blond, another JD look a like has arrived he couldn't be happier!! I love my blond hair boys too.

Can I just say I love my little baby sooo much!! I have never really enjoyed having a little baby around the house but he is the sweetest best little baby ever. The other day he was playing on the floor with his favorite toy while I was helping Kaden with his homework. When we were done I went over and started talking to him when Kaden said, "Oh there's little Linc I thought he was asleep" I replied," He is just a good quiet little boy huh" "Yeah we should call him Mister Quiet" I love, love, love to hold, cuddle and kiss his chubby little cheeks!!

Kaden taught Tyler to swing all by himself, while JD and I sat on our cans watching from the deck :) Anyways we told Tyler to tell Kaden thank you so Ty said, "Thanks the K-dog, da K-dog" When Kaden responded, "You can just call me BIG Dog" JD and I died laughing.

First Day of Preschool

Tyler was so excited (and nervous) for his first day of preschool. He was really confused about why he didn't get to pack a lunch for school but that was overcome with the excitment of wearing his new backpack to school. To say the least Tyler has been a little clingy since Lincoln has been born and has struggled going places by himself i.e. nursery, friends houses and one time even staying with Amanda. So I was a little worried with how things would go but luckily he had his good friend Christian there to help settle his nerves and Mrs. Angie got him out of the car with no tears YEAH!! He loves to learn, I am so excited for him. I will miss my little helper around the house, he is so much fun to be around :)

Tyler had to hold his hands up in the picture just like his big brother!! Hopefully he can keep the wrestling to a minimum. He came home from the first day and told me he wrestled Christian down. Then the other day I told him to eat his banana so he could grow big and strong. "So I can wrestle Daddy down" was his response.

Off To School

Check ya later Mom!! I am off to 1st Grade!!
When the bus was pulling away I was bawling and Tyler was ready to run after the bus to get Kaden off. He didn't want the bus to go away. I will never forget Kaden's cute little face when he was waving to me from the bus window!!
I can't believe how big he is getting!! We decided to have Kaden go to the public school this year not the charter school he attended for Kindergarten and he has been such a trooper about it. It meant leaving his best friend and cousin Jaxson :( He was so excited to ride the bus that he wouldn't even let me take him the first day. He was also really excited to eat lunch at school. We love you bud and are so excited for all the fun and new things you will learn this year!!

Lake Powell 2010

Lake Powell 2010 was crazier than ever but still a lot of fun. We are so lucky to have such a great Aunt and Uncle who are willing to share their incredible houseboat with us and have such a great family that makes Lake Powell so much fun. Tyler says probably every other day that he wants to go back to Lake Powell :) That makes the craziness and sleepless nights all worth it!!
The whole Gang, 49 people, two houseboats, two wave runners and three ski boats makes for a lot of chaos but a heck of a lot of fun!!Story time with Grandpa. My Dad had these two giggling their heads off for over an hourLincoln spent most days naked and wrapped in a wet blanket
CHEESY but if you look behind the grins that is the little cove we had all to ourselves where no intruder boats could go!!
One day was spent celebrating an "unbirthday" party the kids had a blast playing games and winning prizes.

JD and Colby all decked out to teach everyone a dance to BAJA Men's "Stomp The Roach" Mike was a little worried when 35 people where up dancing and stomping on the roof of Totally Hooked but his amazing houseboat held up!!

Thanks everyone for another great year at Powell!!
