Counting

Lincoln looked at the clock last night and said 10 min. When I looked over it was 10:10. He can also count a little. 1,2,3,4,8,9,10,11,12,13

So amazing. 

Sunday

Turner announces that a banana is a crescent. 

I peeled Ts banana and set the peel on my chair. While peeling Lincoln's banana he picked up the peel and threw it away without being asked. What a thoughtful little guy!

Love these boys!

It's been too long!

We watched some of shark week and now Lincoln will ask to see sharks on tv. 

Turner days stupid and fricken. The first he got from polar express. The second it's possible he learned from me. He knows these words are not ok and when we say them he reminds us of that. He will also remind you of the alternatives that are ok "stinker" and "stinker boy". 

I called Lincoln a scientist at dinner because of the mess he had created and Turner thought that wasn't ok and let me know. He gave me the above alternates for this too. 

Lincoln is about to have a vocab explosion. He identified the colors yellow, green, blue, brown, and red today. He says yellow and orange. He also says bear, blanket, toe, cheek, chin, hu..hu for no just hu for yes, phone, cu for color, pu for purple. Most of these words he just says the first sound but it is getting better. 

Here's a shot by aunt Jess!

The big trip

We started in Omaha. We played with the cousins and picked up Grandma Juicy (T's name for Judy). 

This trip was so much fun. We went home for two days and then we took off to see grandma and grandpa in Wisconsin!!

Turner 3years old

1. Nanny is my favorite person. 

2. Blue is my favorite color. 

3. Favorite tv show: dinosaur train

4. Favorite shirt: yellow (don't think you even have one. 

5. Favorite ball: 

The first 5 resulted in melt down. :(. That's what happens with no nap. Sigh. 

Fun at the park with Aunt Jessie

We walked, we talked, we peed in the wood chips. Well, Turner did anyway! Onlookers and swing setters were as shocked and amused as I was, fortunately. "That's what we get for teaching him to pee off the porch!" I exclaimed! It was a good time had by all and only one meltdown when we had to leave our new friends at the park. I'd say it was a success. Love my babies!

Blow me a kiss

Pa was the recipient of Lincoln's first kiss

by air. 

Turner's first movie

You went to see Ironman with Nanny, Pa, Becky Jean, and Lloyd. You say between Nanny and Pa, ate popcorn, and only had to use the potty once. Sounds like you're a pro already. 

A little fit

You sure know how to cry to get your way. You already understand how to work the system. Scary. 

Mother's Day 2013

What a day. My boys got me a swing and pillows. Lincoln helped clean too :)

Mother's Day dinner

Corn on the cob. Smoked pork. Rhubarb cobbler. Yum! After some swinging. 

Trail time

Went for a walk on the trail this morning with Aunt Jessie. We took a picnic lunch and watched the baseball games at Legacy while we ate. It was so much fun. Lincoln slept in the way back and Turner rode his momma horse and helped Jessie push the buggy up the hills.  

Long day

So tired. Turner fell asleep on the couch with Nanny.

Silly with aunt Jessie.

Fun at menards helping Jess pick out sunglasses.

Little girl?

My babies are so beautiful!
