More Light!

When we are driving in the car at night all we here from Lincoln is, "MORE LIGHT!" Every house he spots with Christmas lights, he needs to make sure we see it too. Because it's dark this video is more for the sound. Sometimes we can barely carry a conversation over the yelling of "more light, more light".

Building With Dad

The kids love going with Dad to Lowes on their build and grow worshop days.

Lincoln's Twos Are Not So Terrible

Lincoln is officially a two year old. He had his birthday and loved opening presents, blowing out candles on his Elmo cake and playing with new toys-that no one could take away, at least for a few days. Lincoln is such a loving little guy who always has a smile. He is so mellow and even tempered until you get him in sacrament meeting, then he is squirmy and screams if you just look at him wrong. He is doing better though, hopefully soon this will be a thing of the past.
Lincoln's favorite things are trains, cars, fruit snacks, his "doggy and bear"-has to have them to sleep with and he loves being outside especially with his brothers and sister. His favorite word is "hola." We had wood floors installed and the installers taught him how to say it and now he says it all the time to everyone. He just started saying, "Booper" for Cooper. It was the cutest thing; Lincoln had just woken up from a nap to come downstairs and find Cooper taking a nap on the couch. I told him to "shhhh, Cooper is sleeping," he went to go play but must have been bored playing by himself cause he walked over to Cooper and bent down into his face and said, "Booper" while tapping him on the arm. It was the first time I've heard him try to say Cooper's name. Cooper woke up and said, "Hi buddy." Melts my heart.

These are some highlights from his Birthday.

He loved opening presents this year, but he had to walk over to the trash can with every piece of paper and throw it away before he could rip another piece.

This is Lydia helping him open up presents-He is actually saying, "Oooo, trash"

This video is long, but hilarious. You can see how particular he was with the trash. You have to know Lincoln, he is a boy of not too many words. He has taken a long time to start talking. But in this video, you can hear him say clear as day say, "Choo choo train mine." He is very territorial about his new train and no one touching it. :)

 "I've got my eye on you Cooper, you better not be touching my train."

 A new train set with LOTS of trains and cars- one of his favorite things to do with cars and trains is line them up, he plays with this thing for hours.

He did not like the lit candles being anywhere near him, he refused to blow them out in his highchair.

I Love Grandpa = I Love Trains

My dad is a huge fan of trains, always has and I'm sure always will. Lincoln is a boy after his grandpa's heart. He too has a love for trains. If he hears a train, he stops what he's doing and looks back and forth as if to hear it better. He plays for hours lining up his train cars and building the tracks. If he is ever being stubborn or upset, all we have to say is lets go in the gameroom and build trains-he will immediately stop and head for the gameroom.

 While Grandma and Grandpa were here in October, Grandpa made this train for the kids. Well, it was soon claimed by Lincoln.

Two Boys At Home

With Kyler at school now, I only have the two boys at home. Cooper and Lincoln. At the first of the school year Cooper really had a hard time adjusting to not having Kyler to play with all day. I was going crazy feeling like I had to entertain him every second. But these last couple of months Cooper has really bonded with Lincoln. The two of them follow each other around, play dress up, make me food in the play kitchen, build trains and houses out of  blocks. It's the neatest thing to watch Cooper take on the big brother role. I love hearing them laugh together.
