Nathan's big moment

He finally lost his first tooth!

High Adventure

Image
Sam left on his first High Adventure trip as a Young Men's/Scout leader last Saturday. They planned to spend a week on the Buffalo River in Arkansas! Thanks to Gary Hurst's amazing carpentry skills, they build 2 boats (one pictured below) for the trip. Amazing! Unfortunately for them (and fortunately for my anxiety level), the rain made the river rise too high and it was closed. To the improvised and drove up to Nauvoo for the rest of their trip.   We sure missed Daddy! He got home too late last night for the kids to wait up, but they made him these signs to welcome him home. We're glad to have everyone back, safe and sound!

It's going to be a good summer!

Lincoln is One!

Image
It has been one great year for our family as we've loved our little Lincoln and watched him grow. He is truly the happiest baby I've ever met and brings all of us joy every day! Here's a little about LJO at 1-year-old: Weight: 22 lbs 3 oz (64th%)   Length:  30 in. (53rd%)   Head: 19.5 in. (100th%) Lincoln takes 2 good naps a day (he almost always has to be woken up from them) and sleeps 10-11 hours at night. He generally gets up too early, but that has gotten better lately! He has beautiful blue eyes! Has 8 teeth He is a super fast crawler, stands when he's holding onto something, and cruises a little, but doesn't like to stand alone or walk at all. He has a silly personality and funny little fake laugh He loves all of his siblings, but Nathan makes him laugh the most! Lincoln is starting to talk. He says Mom or Mama a lot. He can say a-dah (Dad), gog (Dog), bubu (brother) and nana (night night). He's pretty good at occupying himself, crawl...
