Tara and Lincoln

ZOO one week the next SNOW!!!

2009-03-27T13:23:00.000-07:00

Well last week I had Thursday off. So I decided to take Lincoln to the zoo because it was so beautiful. He loved the zoo. When we first got there, he was sitting in the wagon and he saw a goose and kept saying go and waving his hand. It was funny. When we started looking at the animals we could tell when he saw the animal. Lincoln would say ahhh and close his eyes. But he loved the animals. He was good at the zoo. We would tell him get in the wagon and lets see another animal. Lincoln got right in the wagon and said go. The only thing he didn't like were the statues. He did not want to go near them. When we walked by the leopards, one was growling. Lincoln looked at it and growled right back. Syn and I started laughing. After walking around the whole which took us THREE hours, we went to the store and bought Lincoln a toy. He got an elephant grabber I think is what it was called. He takes it and growls at everyone has he opens the elephants mouth. He thinks it funny to scare everyone.

Well this Thursday (yesterday) it SNOWED!! It was bad that we were sent home early from work at 10:40. Usually I can get home in 30 minutes, but not yesterday. The roads were soooo bad and the wind was blowing so hard that I couldnt see the front of my car most the time. It was scary. I made it home at 12:10 or so. It took others 2 hours or more to get home from work. The even cancelled work for us today. Well yesterday Mom went out to shovel the snow and Lincoln and I went to help. Lincoln grab his shovel and went to help. It was so cute to see him helping. It was so cold that I sent Lincoln inside and I finished shoveling. Well Lincoln kept trying to go outside. So I took him back outside. There was a John Deere tractor plowing our street and he was so facinated by it. He sat there and watched it go up and down the street. He would tell me look. Today we went sledding with Tia, Deven, Shaeliegh, Tiph, Kayden, Levi, and Joey. Lincoln had so much fun. I took my camera but the battaries were DEAD so I couldnt take pictures.

Ready to help

Such a big help

Helping Grandpa put the dresser together.
On the bus after the stock show.

So Im not very good at updating this unless Todd texts me and tells me to do it. So here I am updating finally thanks to Todd. So you all can thank him for my update. Im going try and update atleast once a week, so we'll see how it goes.

Well a lot has happened. Lincoln has grown so much. He is so funny. He dances to every song. His favorite is Single Ladies. When he wants to hear it he says oh oh and does the dance like the video. It is so cute. He is talking so much now. Everything is becoming more clear. He is a VERY curious boy. The beginning of Feb. we were staying at Tiphs house while she was in Florida, and I was in the kitchen and my friend was in the bathroom. Well all the sudden Lincoln started screaming. I ran over and his pinky was stuck in Kaydens bike chain. I freaked out and couldnt think, but yelled to Syn to come help. He came and took the chain off. When Lincolns finger got out it was flat as paper. I was so scared. We went to the ER and I thought for sure it was broken. Nope just cut. I was so relieved whent they said that. He keeps me on my toes. Back in October, I was on the roof cleaning out the gutters and looked over at the ladder and Lincoln was climbing up. He joined me on the roof. He has no fear. He LOVES playing outside. We have had such beautiful weather the last few days, and hes has been outside all day. He is still a little boy though at his 18 month check up he weighed 20 pounds. That put him in the 2 percentage.

On the roof.

We went to the stock show in Jan. the first day Lincoln wouldnt go near any animal real or fake. It was funny he would cover his eyes and try to get away from it. The second day we went, we took the kids to the petting zoo and I thought Lincoln would hate it. But to my surprise he Loved it. He tried feeding the animals. He would walk right up to them all and pet them. In the mornings when Im getting ready for work, he'll wake up and bring his blanket and lay on the floor while i get ready. This is at 4 in the morning. He loves his John Deere blanket that Nicki made him. He wont let me put him to bed without it. Im sure he has done so much other things but I cant think right now, its late and Ive been up a while.

Feeding the goats.

As for me, not much is new. Just working and taking care of Linc. My job is slowing down thanks to the economy. They have been giving us days off unpaid.(thats why im still up, off tomorrow) The days off are nice, but not getting paid is not good. But im lucky I still have a job. Yes, if you have a facebook it does say im in a realationship, and its true. Im dating a guy named Syn. We work together, just in different areas. He is so sweet and caring. He treats Lincoln so good. And Lincoln loves him. Anyways that pretty much is what Ive been up to lately. Hopefully I can keep up with updating weekly.

What a night...

2008-10-31T11:02:00.000-07:00

Well yesterday I was making dinner, and I went to check on dinner. I came out of the kitchen to see Lincoln with the liquid candle from the pumpkin and had drank some. He started coughing and was very upset. I could tell he was having trouble breathing. So I called poision control to see what could be done. Well we went to the ER. Lincoln had to be put on oxygen and had a breathing treatment. They took a chest x-ray. After he took a nap. He woke up and was fine. I thought they would let us go home, but I was wrong. We had to stay overnight. Lincoln didnt sleep very well, and neither did I. Lincoln is doing fine and is back to himself. He was so happy to get home.

Now the hospital, I was not impressed with. It took them forever to do anything. Then when they would check on him, they really wouldn't tell me anything. We sat in the ER room until 11:30. We got there at 5:30. The nurse got our hopes up thinking we would be sent home, but no. We had to stay the night. Even though Lincoln was breathing normal and was running around the halls. But we are home now and everything is fine. I just wont be going back to that hospital again.

A lot has happened!!

2008-10-24T13:33:00.000-07:00

So its been a long while since I have updated this. A lot has happened. So I will probably put a lot of pictures up and some videos. For me I have just been working and going to school. I have 5 weeks left for the semester! I cut my hair. Its really short but it is growing out. Thats about all I have been up to.

Now for Lincoln, he has grown so much. He is talking more and more everyday. His smile just makes me happy. His laugh is so great. On September 20th, I finally got his hair cut. It was harder for me to get his hair cut then my own. I was afraid that his curls would go away. I took him to Smart Style. Lincoln did really well. He sat still until he realized other people were in there too. He looks so different with his haircut. I like it though and he is still cute as can be.

On the way to cut his hair

First one

Theres more gone

The final

His hair has grown out a lot since he got it cut. AND HIS CURLS ARE STILL THERE!!

As you can see Lincoln decided October 11th to walk and has been nonstop!! He is really fast now, and would rather walk than crawl. He is so funny. He is really good at walking now and will get right back up and keep walking after he falls. Also on this day Tia, Deven, Shaeliegh, Lincoln and I all went to the circus. Lincoln LOVED it. All we heard from him was wow, whoa. It was so cute. (If I can figure out how to make a slide show I'll put those pictures up.) For Halloween Lincoln is going to be a bat. I bought the costume at Old Navy on sale for 11.50, which I think is a great price. Lincoln loves dancing. Whenever he hears music his body starts dancing. It is so cute. I'll get it on video one day. That is all that has been going on over here.

9/11

2008-09-11T17:05:00.000-07:00

So today is September 11 and its the anniversary of the attacks on America. I still remember hearing that it happened. It seemed so fake but it wasnt. Its sad to think that people can do such things to others. Its crazy. I also find it crazy that it takes something like that to happen for our country to come together. Today is a day were everyone remembers, not only what happen in 2001 but the troops out serving our country today. I think we need to remember everyday the troops and their families. Not just today.

The reason I write this blog is to say Thank you to all those soliders who are out fighting the war, so that I can be home and have freedom. Without them I wouldnt have my rights. I am grateful that there are those people who are willing to leave their family and friends.

I also want to say Thanks to my two brothers Tim and Tom. They both are currently serving our country. Tim is in Afghan, and Tom is in Iraq. I am so proud to call them my brothers. I love them so much and miss them. Im grateful to their wives and children for being strong and making it through the hard times with their husbands so far away. I know that they are safe and doing what they want. Thank you for all you do. I cant wait to see you two again. I love you and miss you. THANK YOU!!!

My brother Tim and his family.

Update since Lincoln is sleeping

2008-08-29T14:41:00.000-07:00

Lincoln peeping outside after playing in the rain.
Dont know why its this way it was the right way. But we arent driving just sitting.

Just thought since Lincoln is taking a nap I would update everyone on us. Lincoln is doing very well. Almost walking!! He will walk as long as you hold his hands. I think in a month he'll be walking. Its crazy how fast he has grown. During the day he is at the babysitters and he likes it. He will cry for a little when grandma or grandpa drops him off. When I get there he is usually napping. He has the most amazing smile when he wakes up and whenever he smiles.

He keeps my on my feet. He'll disappear either down the stairs or up depending on where we are. Sometimes he'll even hide behind the couch. He has managed to figure out how to get his arms out of the straps in his car seat. He sleeps through the night. Lincoln trys to work out with me on the elliptical. He has a blast but makes it so hard for me. He dances whenever he hears music. It is the cutest thing. When we are in the car and I put my Jordan Sparks CD he starts singing and dancing. Tia tried to get a video last night but he stopped. He is just amazingly smart and funny.

As for me I just started another semester of school. I have US history up until 1877. I find it very hard to sit still for class. I feel bad for the kid next to me. I am constantly moving. My class in Monday and Wednesdays, from 535 to 650. So starting Monday I'm going have to hurry home in time to watch Prison Break. Although the season starts this Monday and Ill miss it. Lincoln and I will be driving to Utah to help Troy move out there. We'll be there until Wednesday when I plan on leaving early in the morning to get back for class that night. Other then that I just work and spend time with Lincoln.

This is all about my lil man Lincoln. He is my life. I love him so much and would do anything for him. Ever since he was born my life has changed so much. I love him and don't know where I would be without him.

Lincoln was born June 20, 2007 at 4:04am. He weighed 7 lbs. 19 3/4 inches long. He has grown up so fast. Today he is so close to walking. He says words all the time. He loves dogs and when he sees them he says doggie. Its so cute. He shakes his head no and says uh uh. Lincoln is all over the place. He gets into everything. He sleeps in his big boy bed. Lincoln is a very loving child. He gives hugs and kisses. He knows who is who. He has the best smile it lights everyone up. He is my pride and joy. I cant imagine my life without him. I love you Lincoln. You are my everything.
