St. George

Well, well! It has sure been a lot in 3 weeks. I need to do better at keeping up! First of all, the twins graduated!! Go Anna and Kim! Wahoo! Me and Linc got to go to there graduation. They had a little get together party after at my parents house. It was pretty fun, other than the fact that Lincoln screamed almost the whole time! Not fun. Anna used to want bunches of children; she's thinking that over now. It was great, during the ceremony Daniel fed him and he fell asleep in his arms. It was the most joyest hour after all that screaming! Thank you! The party was fun. Grandpa had his wagon out and tent stuff. It looked pretty cool. There was a bonfire and smores after. Yum! We are just so proud of the girls...

Papa, Dan and Linc

And yeah!! Grandpa finally got him to sleep, it was like past 11pm by then

St George!!

Mikey got off work Wed evening and we headed out. It was snowing when we left. Crazy. For about 2 hours Lincoln screamed once again. It was such a fun ride. We made it to Gary and Susan's a little after midnight. It was such a fun trip! We played games, chatted forever, went to Grandma Goodman's and did a whole bunch of yard work. I guess I should say they did. I stayed in w/the kids. And I bet I was just as tired when we left as everyone who was out side. Lincoln's boring and just lays around and stares at things. I'm going to miss this stage!! I'm not ready for the walking around kids yet. It was a fun reunion getting to see everyone we see once a year. My favorite part about the reunions is Canasta w/the girls!! Esp Aunt Mindy:)

Rachel (Ty's girlfriend) w/Linc. She was so wonderful w/him and all the kids! I really like her!

Annie w/little Noah

Peyton, he is a cutie!!

Tyler and Lincoln. Tyler was also a good babysitter!

I can usually find Mike at these reunions takin a nap somewhere in the corner:)

He's always so happy to get pictures:)

Scott and his girlfriend Christine. She's so sweet.

Tyrel, Rachel, Sarah, Tosha, and babies

Haha!! Kissing Cousins!! Logan and Kash Funny but not funny...

Mikey in the corner again:)

The Mike Goodmans

I thought it was so cute Linc and Logan were matching that day!!

DeAnna's cute little Donovan

My sweet Gracie

Me and my cousin Sarah, who is married to Mike's cousin Jason. A little crazy. Their Noah is just 5 weeks older than Linc. It's been fun to have kids about the same time. Me and Sarah used to live together in St G. Now we are way far, so it's fun to have two family reunions to get to chat. (When we both make them!)

K Raquel, you can close your mouth! (I do that a lot)

The Other Grandma Goodman's

It's always so much fun for our family to all get together, and it doesn't happen much. Kim put together a tournament of tournaments for us. (We just had to leave in the middle and ruin it though, but it was ok, we just took away the competition! Right.) Badminton, Snitch Pitch, and Canasta. Yes Kim and Steve won the first two, big surprise! But we beat them in Canasta, that's right!

Steve helped them put in some new grass and it is wonderful! They also bought the cutest airplane teeter-totter for the grandkids. I love it! It was big enough for all the girls to play on it.

My cute little fat man!!

Grandma and Grandpa had the kids while we played a round in the tourni. And it's a good thing Lincoln was outside. That boy definitely needs a tan!

Grandpa and Linc. He's sure not used to the sun yet, Mommy is a home body. I'll try to do better this summer.

We left the tourni early to go out to dinner w/the Crowthers. It was so good to see them all! (Except Jared, at work) We went to Cafe Rio, my favorite!, and just hung out and chatted.

Brandon and Linc

Lindsey and Linc

Kim w/Linky

And Nana Kay w/the little man

All of us:)

Me and Lincoln went to visit Shelley in her house they just moved into. It is so cute! We have not even painted one wall yet and hers was so cute from ceiling to floor! It was fun to get to chat w/her. We also used to live together. I sure miss Shelley, she's been a good friend. I didn't get to see her little man, Breckin, he was napping.

No makeup picture:)

Lincoln has learned so much this month it is scary! He's a brand new boy! I'm sure he'd do even better, but I'm a bad mommy at putting him on his tummy. But we are working on it! Just while we were at Grandma Susan's he started lifting his cute little tushie up trying to scoot forward. He also can sit up w/his arms holding his body for about 10 sec. One baby step at a time. Every little milestone is so fun for mom and dad:)

He also wasn't feeling the best when we got to Grandma's. He started coughing quite a bit and puke back up everything he'd just eaten. He was pretty congested, didn't eat well at all, and was just a fussy little monster. I took him in to the Instacare down the street. We just thought he inherited his daddy's acid reflux and I was just gonna see if they had any medicine for him, but it ended up he had just a mild case of RSV. Lots of fluids and suction. And in just a few days, he was much better...

Mesquite!

I would have to say that my very favorite part of the trip was Mesquite. Me and Mikey left Lincoln in the good hands of Grandma Susan and spent 2 nights down there. It was wonderful! No pictures. We layed out in the beautiful sun for hours while I read Harry Potter (7). I got an hour message, heaven! We ate at the buffet a couple times, not the best. We kept showering so much going back and forth because of the yucky cigarette smell on our clothes. And we played lots of games. I've always liked Hundred Hand poker, but now I have a new favorite! Black Jack was so fun! I see how it can get addicting. It's a darn good thing we don't live anywhere near Nevada!

I really just enjoyed spending time w/Mike. I love him so much. He's the best husband anyone could ask for. He is my very best friend. I really got lucky w/him. It was nice to have that time to ourselves for just a bit. It seems like here at home one or the other is always gone somewhere. Anyways, it was a just a wonderful time! We stayed one more night at Grandma's, played Canasta, and headed home the next morning. As much fun as we have, it's always nice to be home.

Home

My brother has been w/us since last Sunday. Mom is on her way today to come pick him up. It's been fun having him here. I'm not so sure how much fun he had. I'm boring, no Dishnet, every once in a while annoying crying baby. He mowed the lawn and helped out w/the house and watched Lincoln quite a bit for us. I sure appreciate him. Me and Linc met Dad, Mom, Anna, and Ty in Evanston to bring him here. They all got to see Stinkin Lincoln (he's not going to like that!) It was good to see them all. I just feel so bad. When I travel w/him for longer distances he's a grumpy face! So almost every time my fam sees him he is.

Anna and Linc

Grandma w/the stinker

Ha Ha! He has poky out ears! K and seriously he looks like Jack Jack on the Incredibles! The twins and Ty mentioned that to me a while back. I watched it, the only Disney movie we have so far, and he totally does! Esp when he turns into crazy monster! I'll have to steal a pic of him when he's grumpy face.

He's usually happy go lucky at home. I love his fat little legs!

Mommy w/her baby

Lincoln had fun w/his Uncle Ty:)

Yesterday for Church

Tenille and Jon bought Lincoln the cutest baby suit when he was born and now he finally fits it! I wanted to wait until Father's Day next week, but I have to work, so we put it on him yesterday. Man oh man was he a cutie!! I just love it! He is a miniature of his daddy! And of course I just had to get lost of pictures! These pictures are rare. If anyone knows Mike, he hates pictures! He must have been in a really good mood yesterday and really love me to stand there in the kitchen and let Ty take the pics! Thank you so much Mikey! I love them! I just couldn't resist; my boys were so handsome!:)

Linc was so proud of himself

Linc is so solid! They were getting pretty tight around the waist but still not quite long enough yet. That's ok! He's built like his parents!

Oh I just want to squeeze him...

and suck on that cute little face of his!

Our Family:)

I just love my boys so much!!

Ok just a few quick notes... I finally finished the Harry Potter series and am so so sad they are over! I just loved them to pieces! Maybe one day (in many years) I can read them again. I read the first 2 Twilight books over Christmas. The second one was so darn depressing that I didn't go right on to Eclipse. But now that school is over I'm all about books, so I pulled it out. It started out horrible! I am so frustrated w/this stupid love triangle going on! I was not excited, but I must admit, it got much better and now I'm a freak waiting for the last one!! August!!! Now I'm reading The Wealthy Barber decades later. It's a pretty smart read! Everyone should read it.

Anyways, I also got a job! It's not even as an Xray Tech, how sad it that! I plan on it in the near future though. But what I have now is in Home Health taking care of an older woman in her home. I think I'm really going to enjoy it. I start tomorrow. I'll usually be working 3-9pm, perfect timing for me! My wonderful friend Marlene is going to be watching Lincoln. I'm so glad that she is willing! Of all of my friends here, she is honestly my first pick! I don't worry about Linc at all.

I'll try to keep in touch more often in the future; this is how I always am w/journals, everything all at once. Less detail rubbish:)
