Lincoln started preschool and is so obsessed with it! 
He is so excited to go and loves showing me every thing he did that day.
 Typical day at our house with Lincolns friends Lily and Ozzie over. 
Lincoln and Winstons New Kitchen I bought them.  And they love it! 
 It was serioulsy the hardest thing I ever put together.
I wanted to throw it down the stairs!
I think it took about 8 hours.
Tired boy.

My little big boy

Lincoln is nearly 4 in one month! So crazy I will have a four year old. He is at such a fun age he started preschool this year and is so in love with it.  He would go everyday if he could. Just yesterday I was talking to this painter in my kitchen and Linc was getting him self dressed he was wearing shorts mind you it's the middle of November, a sweater on backwards and snow boots and tried doing his by himself.  Keep saying he was getting ready for school and then while I was distracted talking to this guy! He said "bye mom in going to school" then a few minutes I was like to the the guy wait I think my son just tried walking himself to school. I ran out the door looking for him didn't see him.  Got in my car drove around the neighborhood didn't see him! I just didn't think he could get to school that fast. His pre school is at our neighbors house in the back corner of the neighborhood. So I went home,  he's not there. I call his teacher and ask is Linc there. She says "yea he just got here, I was just about to call you!" "And he's really oh of breath!"  Ahh I was so freaked our that little stinker. All of us were so shocked that he new where to go. He is very independent! He's always loved going to nursery and now he's in Sunbeams at church,  and loves it! He gets ready first thing on Sunday mornings I have to keep telling his church isn't for a few  hours honey! 
Linc has a stutter problem! I don't think it's too bad but he definitely struggles sometimes. In the car today I asked him what he wanted for lunch and he kept saying I want a ham, ham, ham, ham, a ham burger mom I want ham ham urger! Just not being able to get it out. He stopped all frustrated and said mom "I don't know how to talk" it just broke my heart. You never want to see your kids struggle. Hopefully he will grow out of it as he gets older.

Catching up



Why do I do this?  I wait months in between posts and then I get overwhelmed by all the cathing up I want to do.




One summer day Ashlee and I decided to enjoy this summer day together by taking the kids to Sugar house park.

(at the range while daddy practiced shooting his gun)
 Took a little road trip this summer to Yellow Stone. On the way we had to get Bridgers gun in Codie Wy. 

Enjoying all the beautiful sites


  Hot spots 



 Lincolns my Little Mommas Boy!
 Old Faithful








We ended up in Jackson Hole! I've never been up here. Bridge told me stories of going here every summer as a boy.  It brought back alot of memories for him.   I instantly fell in love with all it has to offer. We ate at a yummy resturant and window shopped. 
we had such a fun little getaway


more summer catching up to come...
