Baby!

With this little guy I was sick for 6 months of my Pregnancy. I threw up at least 3 times a day. I remember thinking to myself, "I will NEVER do this again!"
But then the sickness passed, and I pigged out on chili cheese hot dogs for the rest of my pregnancy.
After having sweet little Everett I realized it was totally worth it, and yes I would do it again!




With this little guy, I was sick for 2 weeks. I thought, "Hey, I can handle this. That was easy!"
Then I got Bell's Palsy that lasted over a year, and was, I might add, painful! I remember thinking to myself, "Sick I can do, but ugly...forget it! I am NEVER doing this again!"
But then cute, funny little Lincoln was born, and my ugliness faded (well most of it:), and I realized it was totally worth it, and yes I would do it again!

Well, I'm doing it again! Yep, we are expecting our third little, cute, sweet, funny, baby. Ok, so you probably have two question, "What horrible thing has happened to you this time?" and "Why haven't I heard about this yet?"


Well, I actually just really started telling people. I am 16 weeks along and we will find out what we are having April 22nd!
No horrible things have happened to me...YET, but do you ever feel like it's only a matter of time? I think I'm paranoid, but maybe I'm being blessed for having two really hard pregnancies.
Still pray for me! :)
So September 12th here we come! (Oh, that is when our baby is due)

Lincoln's 2!

I can't believe how quickly life passes you by.
Who would of thought that this little guy could have turned two so fast!



I feel so blessed to be Lincoln's mother. He has brought so much joy and laughter to my life. I can't imagine life without him.


It brings me so much happiness to watch my boys grow. They are my greatest treasures.
These boys were meant for each other right from the start.
Everett has such a calming effect on Lincoln (which that little rascal needs) and Lincoln gives Everett adventure. They need one another, and are better people with each other.


Lincoln is so much like Preston. I like to think that Lincoln looks like me though. :)



Tuesday, March 9th, was a GREAT DAY! We celebrated it right. We had TONS of food.

We started off the morning with crescent rolls stuffed with cream cheese and sausage. Lincoln's favorite. For lunch we ate hot dogs and for dinner pancakes with bacon. Needless to say we were all a little porked out by then. But the Birthday boy picked his meals. He loves pork! My kind of man. :)


That night we opened up presents, ate cake, and played together. It was a great day.
Here is Lincoln with the Diego backpack I made him. He wears it everywhere, even to bed.
I'm so happy he likes it.


And here is the Birthday boy with his awesome Transformer cake. I didn't make it. My friend Tiffany did. It was so cool looking and so yummy! We ate if for days...literally. So if the Lees family is looking a little portly that's because we have seriously chowed down these last couple of days.

What a joy Lincoln is! We love him more than words can say. :) Happy Birthday Lincoln!

My Computer is Fixed!!!

Yay! I'm so excited. Now I can blog and check my email. It is soooo great!
So a lot of fun things have been going on in our house. This Winter has not been bad at all. I can't believe it is already March! How time flies.
So for news updates.
Preston has become a Volunteer Fire Fighter, which I thought was pretty cool and heroic of him at first and now I just kind of feel freaked out. He comes home after Fire Fighter class telling me about all the ways he could die and I'm starting to wonder if I really like this idea.
But he is smart and strong and will be fine...I hope. :)
So I am doing an Independent Study on how to Become a Dog Trainer. Cool huh! I already have two clients and am learning so much. I LOVE it! I LOVE it! I LOVE it!
I love dogs and I love helping people enjoy their dogs so it is perfect for me.
On to news with the boys. Lincoln is such a Ham. His birthday is next Tuesday and I can't believe he will be Two! He is getting so good at talking. His favorite word is "What?!", which he says all the time. He also calls Everett, "Eby". It's so cute!


Ok, so Lincoln LOVES Boots! He wears these Spiderman Boots Everywhere! They are Everett's but Lincoln loves them. He wears them while he eats breakfast, when we go to the store, to gymnastics, and even to church.


Lincoln is so different from Everett. He loves Hats, Transformers, Backpacks, and Kung Fu. :)

Oh, and drawing on our walls. I have invested in soooo many Magic Erasers. I find new drawings almost everyday. I think he stashes crayons somewhere.

Everett is just the same sweet kid he always is, and is sooo stinkin' smart. He told me that if he was going to save animals he had to know where they lived. So for Christmas I got him a map. He now knows every continent in the world and lots of countries. Do you know where Borneo is? Well, Everett does, because that is where Orangutans live.


Everett got gum in his eyebrows. My mom used to put Peanut Butter in our hair to get gum out. So I figured it would work for Eye brows. It was so funny! We couldn't stop laughing.
But hey, it worked!
