Video Games

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!

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!
