Happy Birthday Daddy

Happy 28th to my Sweetheart. I have known Justin since he was a little pup, 15....and I can't believe how time has flown. I love this guy, he is the BEST dad and husband. I also love when his birthday comes because it doesn't seem like I am that much older than him. LOVE YOU HUN, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The Faces of Jack

Jack's Masterpiece

This weekend Jack has been loving drawing the Winnie the Pooh characters, Pooh, Tigger and Piglet if you can't tell. I realize that they kind of all look like cats, but i was pretty impressed with his attention to detail. And this is without help and without even looking at a picture, all from his little mind. Ever since I bought him a pack of markers this kid just sits at Justin's drawing table and draws and draws for hours.

Last Week

As I mentioned in my previous post, Lincoln has been showing some interest in using the potty. On Friday he went 3 times in the toilet so we all went to Target and let him pick out some underwear. This picture is funny because he wanted to wear it backwards so he could see the picture like in his pull-up. As soon as we put them on he peed.....oh well i am not stressing he isn't even 3 so i am just going with the flow on this one. Not the greatest picture but one to document.

In one of the little houses at the park. Of course we were with their best buddies Connor and Chase. (well i should specify Chase and Lincoln are enemy's at the moment, you can usually find them punching, pushing or screaming at each other)

Spring is here in Vegas and so we hve been going to the park ALOT! Jack thinks he's blind and insists on wearing his sunglasses whenever he is in the sun, even if he is wearing a hat.

Lincoln totally posed for this picture, isn't he like seriously the cutest little rascal!

Okay is it just me or is jack getting to be a big KID! So weird. Last night when we were putting him in bed he says to us, "Oh I don't need my elephant anymore, Shauna gave that to me when i was a baby, but now I'm a big boy and I don't need that!" I almost cried. This is him last week after school, they had a Dr. Seuss week and he brought his favorite book and made a "Cat in the Hat" hat....his preschool is so fun. Oh and did i mention i registered him for Kindergarten...crazy!

Lincolnisms

This morning, Lincoln lifts up Shauna's bra and says,

"This is for girls....and its beautiful!"

Later today he was walking around naked (no surprise) and he comes up to me and says,

"Mom something is changing"

I asked him if he needed to pee and he said yes so we went to the toilet and he went....WHAT?? I was shocked and very excited. So i guess when we are home he will be naked for a while. Maybe he will be out of diapers sooner than i thought!

Coleman, Almost 4 months.

Coleman is smiling like crazy now, he is HUGE in like 6 months clothes. By far my biggest baby! I think its the formula. Also he is by far my easiest baby....and he slept 10 hours two nights ago...hes done it twice now.

I think by now I am getting used to having 3, we love him so much. Jack still prays, " Thankful that Coleman could come out of mommies tummy"

Stinky Pete

So some how after watching Toy Story 2 a thousand times we came up the the nickname for Lincoln of "Stinky Pete" I think because we called him Stink a lot, you know it rhymes with Linc. Anyway he has been trying really hard to live up to that name. Its funny because depending on when you ask him he will tell you that's his name. I'm sure the cashiers at the store think I am a wacko for naming my kid that.

I decided that I should document all of his craziness so he will believe me when hes older. In the top picture I was downstairs and realized Lincoln was quiet, so I call his name. When he answers I ask him what he was doing, he says "I'm cleaning Mommy"....Oh Crap I better get up there fast. He has recently discovered the laundry room and the detergent. A lock for that door is on Justin's to do list. So now I have liquid laundry detergent dripping out of the cracks of my dryer.

**Note, the last time he got a hold of my BLUE liquid detergent, he decided to pour out the entire (New) bottle all over the carpet.***

Again here is a new found love of Lincolns. its like he has a radar on him that knows when mom forgets to lock the garage door. When i notice hes missing I go out to find this! Oh man my newly washed car now has his cute little footprints and hand prints going up the windshield.

We just LOVE our Stinky Pete! He sure does keep my life interesting......I'm sure there will be many more of these post to come.

Big Brother

Happenings

This is how you can find Lincoln these days. No matter what I do I CANNOT keep a diaper or pants on him......And I know I should potty train him but I am not quit up to it YET! I thought this was a cute picture of him eating his cereal and I know some day I will laugh at this phase.

I was trying to get a picture of Coleman and of course Jack had to make his way in there. You can still always find Jack touching Coleman's head, and now that Coleman is smiling Jack loves to talk to and tickle him.

We need a new computer, Justin fixed our apple but the thing is so old that it needs all of these updates to even make it function, so.......hopefully i will have a new computer shortly...hopefully, this will take A LOT of nagging!

My dryer is still not working, going on 3 months now with a dryer that won't get any heat, so laundry is the death of me.

We have been paintings ALL weekend/week. My house looks like a bomb went off and it is driving me nuts, but it looks sooo good.

I know everyone blogged about this but the Bachelor made me sooo mad. I knew what was going to happen but I didn't think it would make me so mad. Jason is a horrible person. I made Justin watch the After the Rose and he just kept saying, "You can't do that!" We had a fun little get together and all of us were screaming at the TV.

Nothing is really happening around here. I am getting a little bit more sleep which is good. Justin has been so kind to me when i wake him up some nights to do a feeding....the bottle is great.

Jack's School Valentines Party

He was very proud of this heart that he made, but was very clear that it was for Daddy and not for me. On Monday he came home from school with a sealed envelope that he wrote, :"To Dad" he was very clear that we needed to take it to dad at work. So Justin opened it and it was a picture he drew of a robot and then on the back he wrote, I love you! It is so fun to see him growing up. We love you Jack!

Here he is with his loot. On the way home he said, "Mrs. Whitney said I can eat this all when i get home and I don't have to eat lunch first"

we made these valentine candy necklaces for his classmates

Coleman Facts

Loves to hang out with his brothers in the morning on mom and dads bed.

Has a favorite spot on the couch where you can find him every night enjoying prime time television. Here he is watching some Biggest Loser with Shauna.

Bottle-LOVES
Binky-Some
Poop- 10 wipes (is this normal for formula fed babies)
Spit Up- Some, Thank goodness he is not as bad as his brothers!
Sleep- Still wakes every 3 hours to eat.....he is killing me

Smiles a lot now. Mostly when you kiss him or touch his cheek you can get an instant one.

When his eyes are open they are WIDE open. His eyes are for sure blue.

Oh Lincoln!

Lincoln for some reason has a fascination with shaving. As you can see in this photo. He came down stairs last night with cuts and blood on his face, but he was not even fazed. I went up stairs to see where the razor was and it was a total mystery to me where he cut himself. Well than this morning as Justin pulled his razor out of the medicine cabinet there was blood all over it. He totally shaved and then put it right back where it belonged. This was his 2nd attempt at shaving.

On a side note yesterday as he was smiling in my face and being super cute I noticed he has chipped his front tooth! Oh Lincoln, you are so 100% boy and CRAZY!!!!

Coleman's Blessing Day

We blessed Coleman yesterday at church. It was just our little family, and Shauna represented our extended family. It was a special day and I felt just a special spirit as Justin blessed him. He talked about how Coleman should follow his brothers and how much his brothers love him.....so sweet. Jack was so excited that Coleman got to go in the front and be blessed, he was just grinning from ear to ear and when Justin held him up after the blessing Lincoln started clapping. I am so blessed to have my boys in my life (that includes my favorite boy, Justin!)
