Lincoln and Daddy today after church

I'm so so happy:)

It's been such a fun and relaxing last few weeks, for the most part. I had Spring Break a few weeks ago so I got to stay at home all week for the first time in a while! I got some cleaning and organizing done, and lots of playing w/Linc. But it didn't last forever:( I went back to the hospital this last week. It was so nice of my CI to let me take like 3 months off so I could spend some time w/the baby. Time is up now, but it is actually kind of nice to get back into things and get to work again. I missed it! I'm finishing up my hours at Intermountain Medical Center, the new hosp built in Murray, UT. It's so nice and cool equipment! I love it! Out of 1500 hours, I have about 30 left. I'm so happy to almost be done w/school (Wahoo!), but sad to be done at the hosp. It's been a really good experience. I'm hoping I can find a really good job out here in Wyo and get to work. Me and Linc were actually going to leave today, Sunday, to go to Ogden and stay w/my fam, but the roads are closed because of snow storms, so darn, have to stay home:) We'll try tomorrow evening... So sad:)
5 MORE WEEKS AND COUNTING! (school)

These last 2 weeks have been especially fun because Tyrel came to stay w/us! Him and Mike do this every year (usually around Christmas, but we were a bit busy). They play video games for almost 2 straight weeks. Day and night, sleeping as little as possible. I had a lot of fun, too. I got to sit and hang out w/them and read or watch movies or whatever, as long as I'm not a disturbance! (Which always ends up the case) No, it was fun w/him here. I hope he can come back soon! Lazy lazy fun:)

Uncle Ty was so good w/Linc; he even babysat him a couple times while Mike and I ran errands

K so you'd think people would tell us this, or maybe it's just a known to everybody but me and Mikey, but we didn't know if baby's favor one side more, their head can become misshapen. Well now we know too late! Lincoln has a little doll under his blankie because for the first 2 months he only looked to the right side. His head was totally flat on that side! We didn't even notice till the Dr pointed it out! We've been having him look to the other side all the time now, but the doc said if it doesn't get better by 4 months, he has to wear a helmet! Our poor little special baby!

Aunt Anna w/Linc

My parents, the twins and Ty all went to Mt Rushmore last weekend and stopped on their way to see us! More Linc than us but whatever:) They just stopped for about a half hour, but it was fun to have them over! On their way home they dropped off Anna and Kim and they hitched a ride w/me and Linc to Ogden later that night. It was fun to have more traveling buddies:)

Aunt Kim and Grandma

The other Uncle Ty, and just as happy as ever!

Grandpa always makin' faces

Grandma and Linc

Anna and Linc

I have been getting into Harry Potter and love it! It's only like 10 years later than everyone else! Since I drive so much (it's a 3 hr drive to SLC) I wanted to get books on CD. I'm obsessed! It's been so much fun to watch the movies after I finish a book. And it's especially nice for me to have something to do all the time while those boys were playing. Because I should be studying, I was only going to listen to them in the car. But I just can't help it! I got the book from the library cuz one of the cds skipped, but now I just can't stop reading! But I'm justifying and saying it's better than sitting around and watching TV!

Which by the way, the writer's strike is over! I'm so lame!! I became a TV junky over Christmas break, just sitting around waiting to have a baby. We have some shows we just love, more I, but ya know... Scrubs! Grey's Anatomy, Prison Break (not as good now though), The Office, and of course American Idol. This is the first season I've ever watched it and love it! Go Brooke! Yeah, I know I already said it, I'm lame! (As soon as our contract is up, we are getting rid of Dishnet!)

We are just loving being a mommy and a daddy! It's so fun to watch each new little thing children learn as they grow. Linc is 3 months old and has been smiling so much and just talking away (in his own words). He still sleeps so much, we are sooo grateful for that! I hope he continues to love all his nap times! His Grandma and Grandpa Phister get to see him almost every week, but not Grandma and Grandpa Goodman, so we are hoping that we will be able to make another trip down there really soon before he's too big!!! (And so we can get in the sun and give this little boy a tan!) Hehe Mike, just kidding!:)

He loves his hands! He just can't get enough!

I love the grumpy face Lincoln!

Grandma Susan!

I think this little poncho is just so cute! Mike's Aunt Diana made it for Linc (which by the way she has her own Lincoln). It has cute little soccer ball buttons on the front! We just love it! And luckily since it's still snowing away today (3/15/07) he can still wear it for a while.

Grandma Susan came and stayed with us this past week! It was so much fun to have her around. She played and played with Linc the whole time. I was beginning to feel like I wasn't Lincoln's mommy anymore, but in the middle of the night, that was ok with me! She fed him, played w/him, cuddled and took naps w/him. It was super nice for me and Mike to get a break. Lincoln was one spoiled little baby! Now that it's just me and him again I feel so bad I don't get a chance to hold him as much. While Susan was here we just hung out and played games and stuff, but I also got lots done. We miss you Grandma!! It was sad to see you go...

Even while he's sleeping he still loves to suck on those darling little fingers

Grandma was so just so happy w/her grandbaby!

We hope Grandma comes back soon!! (Or even better we can go see them! We need the sun!!!)

Lincoln is getting so big! I'm sad to see him grow so fast, but it's been so much fun to watch the new little things he learns to do! He's been smiling so much and tries to move his tongue when you do it. He's not too fond of tummy time, but loves to be on his back and just kick. It's a bonus for us so we don't have to hold him all the time to keep him happy.

We even got to go out on a date w/some friends of ours while Grandma watched Linc.
(Melissa and Mark Atkinson) We watched Vantage Point. It was pretty cool for an action movie w/out a love story:)

"So Happy Together" :)

He's our chubby little bunny!

Lincoln

I kept talking about making a blog for so long, but I'm a procrastinator! So I'm just throwing a bunch of pictures and things together of us and Linc to get caught up. He is 2 months now and is 11 lbs. For a while he was gaining a lb a week, it was crazy! It is so fun to watch a baby grow. And I love that right now he is so lazy and sleeps all the time. I don't know what I would do if I had a "bad" baby! But luckily since the pregnancy and delivery were so easy, and he's such a cool baby now, I so want more! Anyways, here's some pictures of our little guy. I don't have any dates but there w/in the last 2 months. I'm not the most organized person...

A few days old

Nap time for the boys:)

He is 2 weeks old here. We were on our way home from St G surprising
Grandma and Grandpa Goodman.

Mommy and Linc

Linc went to Idaho to meet his Great Grandma Letham at Marlene's house.

4 Generations:)

It looks like Linc is crying all the time, but he just has clogged tear ducts.
It's not fun because he's been getting eye infections:(

I love it! Linc is starting to smile and it's so exciting! And NO he's not just pooping!!

Just yesterday; our baby is getting so big!
