When Mommy Was a Little Girl....

3 months

Sue's 1st day of Kindergarden, I cried when she left.

High Chair, my mom still has this high chair...

I think in this picture I look just like Lawson. I am on the left.

Good Job A plus

Lincoln had a visit to the dentist today. He had NO cavities, and the dentist said that he looks perfect! He had his 1st full cleaning and flouride, the works. Of course, he was very cooperative. This was his 3rd visit to the dentist already.

His dentist moved offices, and we went to the new office, I just could not believe it! In the waiting area they had: a media room with full screen theatre surround sound: 3 levels of seats, they had a play area with a tree house/slide, an area for parents with a free coffe bar, huge "massage chairs" for the parents waiting, an arcade room for the kids, on and on. Can you believe this in a dentist office?? Everything here is not only child freindly, but they cater to the parents.... Nice...

Snow Day

Lincoln really enjoyed his 1st Snow Experience. He kept looking for Santa Claus, associating S.C. with the snow. Mommy wasn't prepared, he doesn't have any mittens!! Need to get some of those for the boys right now (online)!!!

White Stuff??

What is that cold white stuff falling from the sky?? Yes, it is actually SNOWING here in the Big D!! Lincoln loves it. Let him play just for a bit since he is just getting over being sick.....

2nd Bithday

Me opening up gifts on my 2nd Birthday.

Fun, Fun, notice the fancy wrapping paper (newspaper!!)

Bath Time, 1971

At Thanksgiving we were all laughing at this picture.

We thought it looked just like Lincoln and Lawson.

It is Sue and me, me the baby....

We even asked Lincoln, who is this?

And he said "me and Lawsy".

Sister's

Sue on left, me on right. Ages 2 and 4...

(Mom is scanning me lot's of childhood pics, so more to come...)

Flashback #2

My Dad holding Sister Sue in red and me with the afro on right.

Put Your Best Foot Forward

HE WALKS!!

Lawson is now officially a walker.

Last night for Ron and I, he walked across the room on two different occasions.

Then today he just decided to get up and walk everywhere....

He has great balance and coordination so he rarely falls and gets hurt. Yeah, Lawson!!

PS: Went to the DR, boys ok, upper respiratory viral stuff....

No ear infections.

More allergy meds for Lincoln and both got decongestion type things...

Looking forward to a speedy and 100% recovery..

1973

This is me on Easter in 1973. I was Linlcoln's age. Now you know where he got all his curls.....

Under the Weather

The boy's are both officially sick.

We have a doctor's appointment at 2:30 this afternoon to confirm this!

From Courtney L

Courtney L just sent me these pics from Thanksgiving...

Aren't they cute???

Christmas Tree Time

Our Big Boy Santa Claus. This will be his 4th Christmas!!

He is really having fun with it this year. He asked if Jesus was coming to Thanksgiving Dinner at Aunt Jen's. Now, he has all sorts of questions about Santa Claus.

He was waiting and watching for Santa Claus today out the front window...

Lawson's 1st Christmas this year. He is going to LOVE opening presents.

I know this because if you can see that he is sitting on a wrapped present,

it is no longer wrapped!!

Here is a sample of what he is going to want to do to the ornaments...

Then this!!

We worked today on getting the tree and decorations up.

We still have a ways to go, but here are some photo's of the fun....

Baby sitter

Yes, Ron and I got a babysitter tonight.

Miss Francie, the sophomore in college is the daughter of Miss Nancy, Lincoln's most favorist teacher at our church. I mean Lincoln really really loves miss Nancy, she was his vacation bible school teacher for a week, and if we go to service on Saturday nights she is Lincoln's teacher, and then she is also his teacher when I go to MOPS. She is soooo sweet, and is so complimentive of Lincoln, always saying how "joyful" he is...

Anyway, her daughter has fallen in love with the boys at church, and is studying to be a kindergarden teacher.

To make a long story short, she came over and we went on a date.
We went and had fondue at The Melting Pot. We are still S. T. U. F. F. E. D. We decided that we need to get out every once in awhile..... And what an easy night for a babysitter. Lawson went to sleep before she got there, and all she had to do was play with Lincoln a bit before she put him to bed. She said she got all her Christmas cards written out!!

Boys a little under the weather. Both grouchy for 2 days, Lincoln had a 100.1 this afternoon, and Lawson vomitted pretty bad earlier.... Hope they are fine tomorrow.

Lawson is no longer taking 2-3 steps, but now is taking 6-7 steps. He gets really proud of himself...

Good Night!!

Happy Turkey Day

Grammy with all 5 Grandkids, possible Christmas card picture??

Lawson and cousin Bristol had fun playing together!!

Hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We are thankful for all of you,

our family and friends.
We went to San Antonio to spend the holiday with my side of the family

and Jen and Marks.

I was a GREAT trip!!

There to celebrate were: Jen, Mark, Piper, Sue, Matthew, Lauren (La La), The Flower Mound Four, Kirby, Tom, Courtney, Bristol, My Mom and Herb, Marks parents: Sallie and Dan, My Dad and Evelyn (flew in from Chicago)

Dinner was Awesome

Had a fun traditional ornament exchange

The Wedding

Something I am thankful for:

In January, it will be our four year wedding anniversary.

WOW, we have done a lot in four years!! Love You Ron!!

Great Weather Today

Lawson blowing "rasberries". Boy, can he make some really silly sounds!!

Is this car supposed to be a double decker???

Static Baby!! (enlarge pic to see the full effect!!)

Couldn't pass up the opportunity for some good ole outdoor playtime!!

Name Change

Thanks for all your great suggestions.

My new blog name is:

The Flower Mound Four

Who will the prince choose?

Sadie or Jen?

I think Sadie, let me know your pick.

My Monday

Lincoln went to his 3 hour gymnastics camp today. Apparantly he had a great time, and judging by the l.o.n.g. nap I got out of him afterwards, he must have really had a great time. Meanwhile, Lawson was at home entertaining himself by going under and out of this chair skirt around 30 times. Easy to entertain!!
