What a big boy

I wanted to share Linkoln's "big boy"moment of the week with you all. Yesterday morning during breakfast Link demanded the spoon of cereal from my hand to attempted yet again "self feeding". His little wrist started to twist as his mouth, as well as eyes opened wide and SCORE....he made it in his mouth! What a big boy I have. After several weeks of grabbing the spoon only to sling it across the floor or to smooth it in his hair my sweet Link finally got it.

Life's simple joys can have such a big impact!

Water baby

This weekend we went down to the lake to catch up on some family time:) We enjoyed swimming with Link as he totally soaked daddy and I with his love for the water. He is also getting better and better with his crawling skills....he still adds a few bear crawl moves when he tries to maneuver over a toy. But the real excitement for us all was taking Linkoln (and Carson) on his first boat ride:) He looked like such a big boy in his life jacket. Miss Ry was a pro and showed the boys how it was done. He was mesmerized by the waves and the sound of the motor. It didn't take long for his little eyes to get heavy and close peacefully. What a great day it was...with good company too!

Tony Hawk

Our little trip to Houston to meet Tony was great! We were suppose to go to the San Antonio event but Linkoln got his first ear ache and we had to reschedule:( (poor baby) We stayed at hotel ZaZa and was upgraded to a beautiful suite b/c they messed up our reservation. It was amazing...it even had a bath tub outside on the balcony. I couldn't resist the temptation of putting Linlokn's naked little bum in that tub (better his than mine:)! What a rebel he was!!!! Tony and his crew were wonderful. The heat was deadly so we did what we came to do and left soon after. This is Link's first celebrity sighting, outside the womb that is....& hopefully not the last. Enjoy the pic's! ***Oh & I'll post pics of the Jeep soon since that was our golden ticket to meet the "Hawk"

Happy 4th of July

Another first for Linkoln! What a wonderful weekend it was. We meet mom & dad down at the lake to celebrate the 4th of July. Sammy and I had a blast out on the water...minus the loving back buster I so gracefully performed off the jet ski;) Anyone who knows me well knew that I was a wreck all week panicking over the loud fireworks that would potentially wake my sleeping son. To my surprise he slept right threw them. We even tried to keep him up late to watch the show but his 7:30 bedtime was too long of a stretch for the 10:00 presentation. We enjoyed the fireworks from our balcony as we drank coffee and chatted with my folks...what great memories I'll have for a lifetime!
