Rough Night...

Last night was kind of brutal! Lincoln was up all night crying, tossing and turning. Towards the morning, he was wheezing pretty bad and had fast rapid breathing. So we started out the Sabbath with a trip to the Insta Care. They did another x ray of his chest and the dr didn't like what he saw. He said it could possibly be Viral Pneumonia or some sort of lung infection. He also thought Lincoln might have asthma as well. Which they said that last time we went in too. He only seems to have symptoms of asthma when he gets sick though. Either way, long night and a long morning at insta care. I sure wish that place was equipped with Drs like his regular pediatrician. I really like him a lot.

 We came home and Lincoln and I snuggled in bed and had a nap. I swear his nap was only 15 mins long. When he woke up, he was BURSTING with energy. Those levels have gone up and down today though. I wish I could sleep all day! Here is a pic of me and my cute boy snuggling together. LOVE moments like this.

Buds

Last week, Parker (Lincoln's Cousin) came over to play for a few days. He is sooooo cute!! I really loved having him over! The boys played pretty well together for the most part. On day two, they both wanted to play with the same toy EVERY TIME! Lincoln is really into sword fighting right now and he had found a long stick and was trying to get Parker to sword fight with him. Parker, however, thought Lincoln was trying to beat him up and just started to cry instead. I took this shot when Parker first came over and and the boys were on the couch together. It was so sweet that they were just babbling and sharing cars together. Of course that was just short lived. I truly hope that my children will always stay close to their cousins.

Buzzlight Year!

  For the last year, Lincoln has been in the Kids on the Move program as his speech and eating has been delayed. No my son is NOT autistic and no I am NOT in denial about it either. Anyways, this program has been just amazing for Lincoln and I. He has really progressed and come so far. It truly has also helped me as a parent find ways of discipline that work for me and him. We've found the ways that don't work and so we know to avoid using those tactics. Lincoln is talking a lot more, trying new foods (according to my parents, I was a SUPER picky and light eater growing up as well-so I think he just gets this from me!) and his behavior has improved a lot. Lincoln has about 3 therapists working with him right now and attends different classes 3 times a week. Sometimes it's just exhausting for me, but he loves it!

   Last week, Cameron came over and Lincoln brought out a Buzzlight Year chair my cousin had got him. This chair unfolds and you can wear it as a costume as well-sort of! Anyways, Lincoln wanted Cameron to put it on him and chase him around. Lincoln LOVES to chase and be chased. Nothing makes him happier (except maybe snuggles with mom of course!) It was sooooo cute, so I had to record it. I wish I was better at recording Lincoln's daily life. He is hilarious!

Church

Here's some pics from church today. Nothing super exciting, but Lincs got some new church clothes and as always, he looked so super handsome! He's doing better at church. He was a monster during sacrament meeting, but has been improving tons lately. He also LOVES to go to nursery.

What a handsome little dude!

Here's my belly at 21 weeks. I feel like I am super huge, but according to Dr Baxter, I am right on schedule. Maybe most girls around here just starve themselves to stay small. Who knows, either way, that is a big belly. It's really hard for me to sit through 3 hours of church without getting sick and super swollen. It's making me hate my calling of teaching primary even more right now.

We were late for church again today-I hate that! Anyways, they opened up the Young Women's room for those that are late but still want to take the sacrament. So we sat in there today. Lincoln did pretty well. Cars are such a life savor. And let's not forget the beloved fruit snacks. 

I know, it's not super reverent to take pics during church, but it was how I was getting my mind off of not feeling well and having to sit for so long. Love how cute my little boy is!

Such a cute boy and I LOVE how his tie is super crooked in this pic. He pretty much ripped it off and refused to wear it afterwards until I told him he couldn't go to nursery until he put it back on. Worked like a charm! I went to pick him up afterwards and he was still wearing it! We all took like a 2 hour nap when we got home today. I am certain none of us will sleep tonight either. Awesome...

Halloween Family Fun

The day before Halloween, we took Lincoln to this place that had a little corn maze, playground and farm animals. He LOVED it! He was in pure heaven! Needless to say, he was MAD when it was time to go! HA HA HA HA!!! Such a stinker! This boy is full of adventure and loves to be out and playing. He was in no mood to stop to pose for a picture, but I am in love with these cute memories I have with my boy! Hopefully this will be a tradition we do with him each year.

I really wanted to get a pic of him in one of these clown faces. How cute are they? I had Jory pose first so Lincoln could see how fun it was. Yeah, that went over like a lead balloon. He was mad that we tried to stick his face in one of them! If you look close, you can see Lincoln is spitting away-which is what he use to do whenever we'd make him do something he didn't want to do. We have NO CLUE where he would ever learn to do something so gross. Luckily we've broken him of this bad habit!

The Boys Fishing

Clear back when (???) we took Lincoln Fishing at the Kids on the Move fishing day. It was pretty cool. They gave all the kids fishing poles they got to use and take home with them. Lincs was pretty excited! There were A LOT of people there too and we got there pretty close to on time! But we live in Utah, so if there is anything free, EVERYONE WILL COME! Lincoln had sooooo much fun though. He loved the ducks and at one point tried to climb in the pond to chase after them. It was pretty cute.

Love Them!

I seriously LOVE these kids soooo much! They all are so very special to me. Poor Bugs is the only girl! We all are hoping that those 3 little boys will all be best buds some day. Their personalities are all so different and hilarious. Leave it to my kid to be the most uninterested and hardest one to photograph. However, he is stinkin cute and that all that matters!
