Updated Photo Site

Just wanted to let everyone know (if anyone still checks our blog and photo site!) that I have updated our photo site. You can now find pictures from 22 months up. I have also added some pictures to the 21 months that I some how missed. I know that there are also pictures on my phone that I'd like to get up... but.........

Quick Video

I realize that I am behind on my blogging and photo site duties... again! I'm working on the photo site now. I should have 19, 20 and 21 month pictures up before Sunday.

Until then, enjoy one of my favorite videos....

Made me SMILE!

So, most people that know me know that I almost ALWAYS wear my hair up in a... well, I don't know what you call it... it's like a ponytail that you forget to pull out all that way... if that makes sense!

Anyways, when I was teaching I would always stick a pencil in my hair... right where the rubber band was on top. It was perfect because I always had a pencil handy!!! So, I wore my hair up so often that one little girl that I had in my class would draw pictures of me... with my hair up in a bun!! It was so darn cute!! And, because I was always walking around with a pencil in my hair the girls in my class would stick pencils in their hair (behind the ear).

I was reminded of all this today. I was making a list. I had stuck the pencil in my hair so that I could sit with Lincoln and have my hands free while he was playing at the open window. He noticed I had a sticky pad and wanted to write. I pulled out the pencil and gave it to him. He wrote for while and then, when he was finished with the pencil, tried to stick it in his hair!! Of course, he was just poking himself in the head with it... but, still. It made me smile SOOOO big.

He's so darn cute!



ps. I realize that I have not finished blogging about our road trip to Reno. I will get to it, soon! And, give an update on how we're doing now that we've settled in here!

17 Months Old

Alright, here you go... 17 month old photos!!

These include a few pics from Christmas, the last of our packing and the road trip to Reno.

This is Lincoln's first gumbo! He enjoyed it very much while at the lake for Christmas!!

I realized yesterday, after I posted the 16 month old photos, that not everyone that might read my blog may know about our move. So, for those that don't know... we now live in Reno, Nevada! Very crazy!! I never thought I'd leave Texas! But, a job opportunity presented itself to Brad. And, even though it takes us further away from all of our family and friends, we just couldn't pass this chance up.

So, with little time to pack and Christmas in the middle of it all... I don't know how we did it! Well, that's not true. I do know. My parents, brother and sister-in-law!!! Without them... I'd still be in Dallas packing up boxes!! Lincoln was such a happy-go-lucky guy through all of it!! Even when the house was being torn apart (packed) and we had strange people in and out of the house doing repairs!!
It was pretty cute the way Lincoln would go and grunt as he picked something up and move it! After all, he had been watching us move things for so long!!

He really loved helping. He'd watch us do it and then try it for himself. I have another picture of him really watching Grammy so he could get the technique down!

So, it took us 6 days to get to Reno. The first leg of the trip got us to El Paso. We decided to do most of the driving at night. I had heard other people make road trips at night so their kids can sleep. Well, no such luck for us! It was, well... sleepless. I really thought Lincoln would sleep really well at night in the car. He takes great naps in the car!! But, that's not what happened. So, that was the LAST time we tried that!

We're not sure about the time that this picture was taken. It says 3:30 pm but, Brad doesn't think that's quite right. All I know is that it was very late or very early... because I thought to myself, "we must look like the worst parents ever!" Um, Lincoln was up and did not want to get back into the car seat. He wanted a chip and a sip of coke instead!! (note to self... no more junk food within Lincoln's line of sight!)

Brad drove the entire night. He stopped a couple of times to get some sleep... along side the truckers! I drove a little the next day so Brad could rest. It took us 15 hrs to get to El Paso!!! But, along the way there was some time for play!


And, once we checked into the hotel... the boys passed out!

And, then Lincoln turned 18 months!!!

So, you'll have to wait for the rest of the story and more pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!

;)

FINALLY!!

Okay, I have been neglecting my blog AND our photo site... yet again. With the holidays and then the move... there just hasn't been time!! And, what little free time I have had... I'm sorry to say, has not been put towards this. Just not on the top of my list of to do's!

But, I did manage to get our photo site updated with things that have happened while Lincoln was 16 months old. Yes, he is almost 19 months... so, I'm a little behind. Anyways, you will find pictures from our Thanksgiving in Houston, Christmas morning in Dallas, Christmas day in Corsicana and beginnings of our big move.


So, go check out our photos! I hope you enjoy and check back soon... because I'm already working on uploading 17 months to the photo site!!

WOW!!

Wow, it's been a long time.

I have to apologize to everyone that actually comes and checks our blog regularly!!! Things have been a little crazy. For those that don't know... we are moving to Reno! We haven't had much time to do anything but prepare for the move since we found out... hence, the absence of posts.

I'm at my parent's for the weekend, so I will try and do a few updates!!

Sorry!!
