Black Eye

Lincoln is notorious for falling and hitting his face. It's that big head of his.. it throws him off balance. This fall was especially sad.. he hit his eye right on the corner of the coffee table leaving him with a black eye. 

Left pic is the day of, all swollen and red.

Middle pic is a couple days later, when it started to get purple

Right pic is a couple days after that, the worst it looked.

 

He is looking much better now. No more bumps and bruises yet..

Happy 5th Anniversary!

Judd and I celebrated our 5th Anniversary on December 29th!

I cannot believe we've been married for 5 years! How the time has flown.

A look back (Engagement photos, wedding day, temple day and today)

 We did a night out for our Anniversary. Judd's sister was awesome and stayed at our house with Lincoln so we could go out.

We headed to Salt Lake and had a nice dinner at Rodizio Grill (One of our FAVORITES) then did a little shopping and had a carriage ride around Temple Square.

We stayed the night at Armstrong Mansion. Beautiful Bed and Breakfast in Downtown SLC. 

 

One of the greatest things in our 5 years is this handsome little guy!

 



Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year. I had my first 'Christmas Break' since I graduated. (Hooray for that!!) We did the Temple Square lights. It was SO cold!

 

Lincoln meeting Santa

Sladen meeting Santa

 

We headed to Idaho to spend some time with Judd's family. On the way we stopped at Sladen's grandparents house to give him a squeeze and give him his Christmas presents.

He got a Kindle this year and was SO excited. He knew what it was right when he opened it. Lincoln LOVED seeing his brother. He ran right to him and wanted to play.

(I forgot to take pictures.)

In Idaho we went bowling, had a big family dinner, did a little crafting and of course did the Christmas day thing.

Fun at the bowling alley

Snowflakes

I've always loved cutting out snowflakes.. they are so fun.. and no two are EVER alike.

While on Pinterest I found a link to a blog on how to make the 6 pointed snowflakes!!

I have been really enjoying making some little creations.

Family Pics

I love doing family pictures!

I love picking out 'matching' outfits. I love dressing up. I love practicing smiles with the boys.
(That is necessary to get a few good ones!)

This year was no different.

Sladen was here for Thanksgiving so that would be best. Thank goodness our wonderful photographer was available. (She is GREAT by the way).

Here is a few of our favorites.



 

Best Buds!



Lincoln was SO done with pictures



Judd doesn't like this one as much as I do.. I almost NEVER get pictures of this smile.
I LOVE IT!

Thanks Amy!! We love them!!

New floor

We were a little impulsive this weekend and got new flooring for the living room and dining room!

Not quite everything back in place, and still missing baseboards.. but we are EXCITED about the changes.

 

Halloween ??

I can't believe I didn't post pics from Halloween. It just hit me! :) It's a little late now .. but our little monster was SO cute!

Boys & Girls Club Halloween Carnival

Thanks Amy Wilberg! Once again, she did great with our little guy!

Ninja boy did not want his picture taken.

 

Lincoln's pictures were taken by Amy Wilberg.
