Hair cuts

So one day I was talking to my sister-in-law (soon) and I was teasing her about how her blog is never updated, same pictures and stuff for a long time. Well she got back at me about mine. I hadn't even thought about it. I'm pretty bad about taking the time to write things down. Then when I do, its a novel. Oh well...

The boys, I hope, had a wonderful time with their video game weeks. Ty went home this last Monday. It was fun to have him around. I just feel bad for him because he doesn't have kids, and he got to have Linc around ALL THE TIME. Awesome.

He is such a dork. One of his fav things to do is get this bag of eggs, stand at the step in the kitchen, and dump them all over below. Silly kid!

Last weekend I went to Ut, again, for a conference thing. Mike wasn't able to go because of the game, so I decided I'd go as proxy. It was actually kind of nice to go (other than sitting on my tushie for hours at a time!) I got to hang out with Kay, and I didn't have a child climbing on me all the time. Nice to have a little break (but of course I still missed him like crazy!). Oh and the craziest part about the trip was me and Kay went out to eat during a break we got, and guess who of all people in the world we run into??!!! Kim and Harlee!! Crazy small world! Neither of us even live in SLC. It was so fun to get to hold Harlee for a couple minutes. I'm so baby crazy right now!!

So, I drove home Sat night and had a wonderful surprise waiting for me when I got here. Mike and Ty had finished their game and painted the kid's room!!! What sweethearts! I was so so happy! I would have posted some pics, but its a little too soon to show, the paint is definitely out there, bright bright green, so I'll wait until it is completey finished so nobody will judge too harshly. I picked out the paint, but when you see it all over the walls, its crazy stuff! But I'm totoally keeping it! Its a kid's room, whatever, fun for them, that is if they don't go blind first!

Mike's first day back to work on Mon from almost having a month straight off, ended up going on a job in Casper and was gone a few days. I've got to get back to the groove of Mike being gone again, we've been so darn spoiled having him home so much. I've loved it! So this week has been a little crazy busy with meetings and activities with young womens and getting this house clean in between working without Mike around. Shilayna has been so good about watching Linc extra for us. Oh and Mike's friend who went with him on the job needed someone to feed and let the dogs out while they were gone. Linc loved it, but I'm not a fan taking care of animals. I don't love them like children, so please, next time I say, "Oh I want a puppy!" Don't let me!!

I finally got a picture of Inara. She is so beautiful. Her mom Shilayna is one of my good friends, and shes the one who watches Linc all the time.

He loves her. Shilayna said when she cries, he will run to her and give her his ever-so-beloved monkey doll. He's been super good with her!

I tried to get a cute smoochy pic, but every time he gave her one, my camera delayed and it never got one.

Future Mr and Mrs Goodman:)

Oh yes, that is what it looks like! I bought Linc a monkey backpack harness! He loves it! When we go outside he is GONE! So I figured for the summer I would try this out so I don't lose him. I think its totally funny and super cute!
Our Wed night activity was at my house. It was super fun. We watched Bride Wars and ate junk food and just hung out. I love my young women, they are the coolest girls and teach me so much. I absolutely love my calling. Linc also had a blast having so much attention in his own house.

Mikey got home about 3am Thursday morning (yeah!!!), just a few hours before Linc and I had to wake up and hit the road to Ut, oh yes, again! I had a Dr apt in Ogden that morning. It was a good drive, Linc is getting really good at travelling. Tenille met us at the apt and played with Linc while I was with the midwife. I was really grateful she came, he was so full of energy! We went out to eat after then me and Linc went to my parents and both took a 31/2 hour nap, wonderful! We hung out with them that evening, went to the twin's dodgeball game, worked on bridal invitations (finally!) and we went back home that night. I would so much rather drive at night so Linc can sleep the whole way, which he did, good little boy!

You cant' see it well at all, but I took a pic of his battle scar. I didn't see it happen, just heard the scream. He was tried to step out the back door and pretty much head planted right on the cement. His forehead and arm were all scraped up. Poor kid, by the time we made it to the library, his forehead was dripping with blood and oozing. Yes we got a lot of stares. Its a pretty good scab now. But this kid has so many bruises and bumps constantly that what's another one, right?

Speaking of Lincoln, that boy is seriously a ball of energy now! Its not bad at all when we are at home. He hates to be cuddled and I don't hold him very much, so he just plays with his toys and gets into everything all day. Hes actually super easy at home. Its just taking him places, like church, and thats a whole different story! He hardly ever cries too, just hates to sit still. But man I sure do love this kid! Hes getting to be such a big boy. And hes so great with Inara. I'm so excited for his little sister to get here! I hope he wont be too traumatized with a new little person in our lives:) And I can't complain too much because Linc still takes awesome naps. Yesterday he slept for 4 hours and was still sleepy by 7:30pm!

I fianlly cut his hair! Its been due for quite a while now. His hair and so long and not cute! I had never done it before, but there is a first time for everything. I really like it much better now! I wanted to keep it a little longer on the top, but oh well! It will grow back!

And there's a not so perfect belly shot too!

The after pics with Grandma...

I forgot I also cut my hair! I had my cousin cut it in St G, seriously like 5-6"! Well, that just got something in me and I wanted it a little shorter and bangs, so I had a friend here cut it again! She cut a few more inches off and layered it a bunch and did the swoopy bang thing. I used to have them and its always been my favorite, so I thought what the heck! Of course its still long, but just not as. And my hair grows super fast, so whatever!

It probably doesn't even look shorter, but it is SO short to me! It was down to my bum before!

Since I was getting my pic taken I figured I'd throw in a belly shot of Mommy and Sequoia.

And Mike was a super good sport and let me take a pic of us. Hes just so beautiful:) Thanks sweetie!

Mike came home early from the shop on Friday and we got to hang out as a family for the first time together in a really long time. It was nice. We watched my friend's little boy for a while and went to the hs girl's soccer game. We did some tradesies and Mike went and worked out while I had the kids, then I went to the Fabulous Friday and made a super cute craft. I'm pretty proud of myself, I'm not the most craftiest of people. Our house is taking a long time to get it to where I want it, but its ok, a little at a time. Anyways, lucky me, work called and needed me to work the night shift that night! So Mike and I hung out and had a little date night and watched a movie, then I got to go into work at midnight. Awesome. I was SO stinkin tired! But it was a super good night, so I can't complain too much.

I think Lincoln is getting to be such a big boy, then he plays with his friends and he's a little baby again:)

This weekend has been really nice to get to relax with Mike and Linc and just be with them. Mike is leaving tomorrow for Alaska, so I'll try to soak up all the time I have left with him tonight!

My Fabulous Friday project, I love it:)
