The Boy's Pictures, Finally

Geri's Sunday

Tried to get a pic of both boys together after church today since they looked so grown up. Seems like Lawson is officially transitioning from baby to toddler. And Lincoln is transitioning from toddler to big boy!! However, could only get good shots individually.
What a great Sunday!! Church was great!! The weather is Perfect!! Went to a Holloween Party, all is good!!
Ron has the good picture's of the Holloween Party, so once I get those downloaded I'll post. We enjoyed the hayride, bounce house, kid's games, and seeing all the cute kiddo's in their costumes!! This was a neighborhood wide party for Bridlewood, where Darla lives. It was at their very nice pool/golf club.
Blogger is taking forever to upload, I've been trying to post throughout the day and it won't let me... So, I'll post the pics tomorrow.

Blue's

I think I'm going to be in trouble....

How am I ever going to say "no" to these eye's????

All he has to do is look at us and we melt!!

Town Square

We decided to go shopping to pick up one quick thing, however, we ended up spending our whole day at South Lake's Town Square.
We started off having lunch at Cheesecake Factory. Then our shopping began.
We purchased some things at Williams Sonoma for our kitchen, including a very nice non stick pan.
Then we headed over to Barnes and Nobles where Ron, myself, and Lincoln all picked out books to bring home.
Bought Lincoln an outfit from Janie and Jack.
Stopped and got cookies at the Nestle Tollhouse Factory, ate them in the courtyard at the fountain.
Ron got some new shoes to wear to work, and some pants...
What a day!!
Unfortunately, the boys went down at 3:30 for nap and didn't wake up until 6:30. Therefore we MISSED our fall festival that we had planned. Oh well, we had a nice evening at home: Ron made us dinner. And we will go to a Holloween Party tomorrow night at a friends....

T G I Friday

What a week! It just seems like things are getting busier and busier with the upcoming holidays. With two little ones, time just flies by.
Overall, this week went great and are looking forward to a great weekend.
We went to the twin's house today to celebrate their birthday. Can't wait to meet their new baby sister in December.
Lawson is crashed, and Ron, Lincoln, and Kirby are sitting out back under a blanket. Sooooo, I'm going to finish up so I can enjoy my nice hot bubble bath and then dig into the Holloween candy!!
Happy Friday!!

Thursday

The place that Lincoln takes his gymnastics classes has moved to a much nicer and bigger location. This new place is totally awesome!! They have everything there: swim classes, ballet/dance, karate, music conservatory, all sports, etc.... They also, my favorite, have a coffee bar for the parents! They have a small movie theatre with 6 bean bags for the kids who are waiting on siblings... And they have "win cuts", a hair salon for kids and parents. Anyway, I was very impressed. I'm thinking that tuition will rise to make the mortage on that massive place!
Lincoln is doing great in gymnastics and it is always one of the highlights of the week.

Tomorrow we will go to a small birthday party at the twins house.

Can you believe Halloween is right around the corner?? We are going to have so much fun this year. We will be attending several different fall festivals and holloween activities in the upcoming few days. Of course, pics will be taken and posted.

Luke 1:13

Lincoln learned his first scripture memorization. They have been practicing every week at our Wednesday Bible Study. So, all week he has been repeating:
"Do not be afraid...your prayer has been heard" Luke 1:13
I'm shocked that he can already do this at his age, I'm so proud of him!! He loves Bible School, and is always talking about the bible stories he learned. His favorite is telling the story about Zacheous.

Blog Change

For now on, when you open the blog it will only show the past 21 days. If you want to view anything prior to that, go to the left and click on the months in the Archives.

The Good Ole Car

Pictures taken this morning. Lawson's big thing right now is riding on this car. He get's on it all by himelf and just sits on it, holds on, rocks, and moves it by walking his feet. In the 2nd pic you will notice that he brought his play keys with him on the car. I guess he made the connection!!
Also, in the 1st pic you will notice him wearing his first pair of REAL shoes. I got him these "prewalkers" from StrideRite and plan on selling them on ebay when he grows out of them! Striderite is a big seller on ebay!!
Anyway, when I see babies start wearing shoes that is when I see a big change in them from going from baby to toddler.....

Feedback

I'm trying to decide which pic to order of Lawson. I think I like the 2nd one the best, any feedback??? I wish they would have turned out better!

Our Cowboy

When Lawson was in the baby bonanza, there was a professional photographer there and each contestant got a free 5x7 and a chance to buy more. Anyway, IF you are interested, you can view his shots by following these instructions: The pics didn't turn out great, because you can see he was very ansy and all over the place, not many smiles like usual....

He is the 1st baby on there. The baby right after him is the one that beat out Lawson by getting 1st place in most adorable baby. (he was super cute, but we think he beat Lawson because he went all out on his duds....)

Got a pumpkin

Daddy got home early enough tonight that we were able to go to the pumpkin patch to get us a good pumpkin. Can you B.E.L.I.E.V.E. that a decent sized pumpkins these costs $25.00!!!
Incredible!! But I think this patch donates a portion to a charity. We brought Kirby with us and Lincoln enjoyed taking a wagon ride with him.

Hi Bristol!!

My niece, Bristol. Isn't she a cutie? And getting so big!! Your cousins miss you!

My Friend, Ebay

I have a new friend, Ebay!! I have made $100.00 so far by selling a few random things I had laying around: books, baby clothes, coupons, etc... This has been so fun for me. I have 30 items up for auction this week, goal is another $100.00, we'll see!
I have also bought the boys some great clothes for great deals by keeping an eye on the auction. If you have anything you want me to sell for you, I'll do all the work and split the profit with you!!

Our Winner

OK, here are his cowboy boots, cowboy hat, TROPHY, and medal, but where oh where is our little cowboy?? Oh yeah, he has been crashed out since 6pm!!

Yes, that's right, Lawson won a Baby Trophy today at the Baby Bonanza. He won the award for "Best Smile", which is so appropriate for Lawson who was up there with a smile from ear to ear for the judges!! I'll post some pictures of Lawson in his cowboy get-up manana. But for now, just wanted to let you know we are proud of him for winning!!
