Fun in the car!

We were trying to get us all in the camera

but someone was always missing, we had fun trying 

though!

Dagan's program

dagan had his school program, he was cute!  I am so excited that this school year is almost over, I love having the kids home all day!!  I can't believe how good looking my little man is getting, they grow up too fast!

He got his dads charm!

Corban is about the cutest little thing, of course I am bias!  Not only is he cute but he got his dads charm, he knows how to treat the women.  While we were at Dagan's Kindergarten Program, Corban was watching two little girls, about two or three, playing.  When they split up and went to their moms he took the opportunity to pick the best wishing flower he could find (dandy lion gone to seed), my kids love wishing flowers!  and he walked up to this cute little girl with the cutest smile and gave it to her.  She took it, but was then so shy, she hid behind her mother.  It was the cutest thing ever, he is so suave, I gave him a big high five and was proud to be his mother.  A little later he tried to give her another one but, to her mothers demise, she was to shy to take it.  her mother had camera in hand, and was so disappointed she did not get to get a picture of this sweet event.  I unfortunately didn't either :(

Freckles

I love freckles!  I love mine and I love them on other people.  Well I have to show everyone the cutest spray of freckles that have decided to pop up across Rayney's Nose.  So cute!!! Can you see them? You can't see them as well in the picture, but they are so cute in real life!

Yummy Apple

Lincoln is really enjoying his Apple; well actually I don't think it started out as his apple, but he doesn't care!

Moon Sand

Moon Sand really is a great invention!  My kids love to play with it, and I love how it never dries out!  One step better than play dough.  I only wish they would come up with an invention to separate the colors. 

Lincoln Cardiologist App.

Lincoln Had his card app. and all went great. His pulses are great and everything sounded good. Dr. Womack did talk to us about how soon, probably when Lincoln starts walking, we will notice that he tires out easily and needs to stop and take breaks. He said he will turn blue more often, although don't worry this is normal. We are used to the blue color a bit, he is blue every morning, lips arms and legs! But it will be new to see him turn blue do to activity. He said to not hold him back, let him exercise that heart. he will know his limitations. He warned us, that if he did not seem to turn blue, that is not a great thing for Lincoln and could mean that veins are growing from his heart to his lungs and this actually gives a false sense of health, they will hinder his heart function and will need to be dealt with. Seems funny that we have to make sure our son isn't too pink.

All in all Link, is doing great! He doesn't have to get anymore Synergist shots this summer, since RSV season is finally over! It will be nice to give him a break from getting shots every month! He is so terrified of laying down on a doctors table, because every time he does it means more needles going into his legs. He needs a good break! before it starts up again in October.

Oh, more fun news, he has started taking his first steps, and as the days go on he gets braver and braver. I can't wait till he is walking everywhere! I have been spoiled by the others walking early that it seems like he will never walk, but he has good excuse! I just hope he is walking fairly good before Skotlynd comes. If not I am sure we will make do just fine. Well three cheers for my tough little man, he's a trouper!!!

Eight Years!

So I feel like this year has flown by so fast. I can hardly believe I have been married for eight years!! It feels as though we are still two young collage kids having crazy fun at Ricks, with the added bonus of a life time of experience behind us. how did we come this far? We are about to have our fifth child, and this is my sixth pregnancy; really? how did that happened? There just wasn't enough time for that right? It's amazing the experiences, trials, joys, and accomplishments you can have in such a short time. Well, I do wish sometimes I could just slow things down, but since I can't I will have to savor and enjoy life in hyper drive. i just want to take time to say, I love my husband!! I can't imagine life without him, I can't wait to see him each day and would honestly love to have him every minute of every day. He is my everything and has become such a part of me, I would be lost without him. He is patient, humble, loving, and fun. He was my best friend long before I knew I loved him and he will be my best friend for Eternity. I love him!! Thanks Dustin for putting up with me all these years, for being so patient, loving, forgiving, and wonderful. I Love You!! We have been through a lot, our life together has not been without great trials and bumps, but we have grown so much together because of our trials. I would not choose an easier path with anyone else. I love the small reminders of how strong our love is, like when the Doctor caught us holding hands while in the hospital with Lincoln, her comment "I can't believe after all this time you are still holding hands" It amazes me how trials can tear couples apart but they only seem to make us stronger. Hey if you can love me with no hair, I know you can love me through anything, he he!! Thanks for loving me! I love you!

Spring!

I was beginning to wonder if Spring was ever going to come. April was a roller coaster of weather, very crazy and a bit annoying. One day it would be 70, (I mean literally one day) then the next day it would snow, yes snow! IN APRIL! then it would continue to be chilly for the next week and a half, then the cycle would repeat itself. Yuck! I was so ready for it to just get nice. We bought some fruit trees and would have to bring them inside at night so they wouldn't freeze, yes againI stress, "In APRIL!" Well I am glad to say that I think, spring has finally arrived. although some days are still a little chilly, it has been so nice to get outside more. I am just worried it is going to bypass that beautiful spring weather and go strait to scorching summer heat. Luckily Dustin has talked me into getting water park season passes this year, so we can spend tuns of time in the water. Although, and excuse me for getting a little direct here, but most of the summer I am going to be bleeding from just having a baby. So I might be beached with the babies. unless anyone has any magic info they want to share with me to rig that!
