McKinley

Here are a few pictures of McKinley. She is getting to be such a big girl! This is from 5-8 months. I can't believe she is already 9 1/2 months!

Lincoln is 3!

Lincoln's presents - Scooter, jeans, church shirt/tie, toy helicopters and airplanes

Lincoln's birthday was on a Friday this year. As luck would have it, Jefferson and I both had the day off! We hung out and did a little shopping in the morning. In the afternoon Lincoln got to play at Grandma Porter's house. He asked all morning to go and play at her house! For dinner we went to Iggy's in Centerville. Lincoln wanted pizza for dinner and they have that on the kids meal and it comes with an ice cream sundae. On Sunday we went to the Pay's house to celebrate with my side of the family. Lincoln had chocolate cake and ice cream - his favorite! He got lots of fun toys - a Buzz Lightyear car, a big "dumpy" truck, playdoh, a Buzz/Woody kickball and a soccer ball. We are heading to the Porter's on Sunday for the October birthdays. So much fun to celebrate!

St George Trip

This year we went to St. George for Easter. We drove down after school on Thursday and came home Sunday afternoon. On Friday we drove through Zion Canyon (it was free entrance at National Parks). We stopped here and got out to walk on the rocks. Lincoln loved climbing the rocks and looking for sticks. He still talks about the "beach" as he calls it.

Lincoln, Mom, McKinley

Saturday we went to the outlets to look at the kids clothes and then headed to the Farm for the McArthur family reunion. We missed the treasure hunt, but made it in time for dutch oven and potluck salads. SO GOOD! Lincoln got to look at the bunnies and chickens. He also went on a tractor ride with Jefferson. I heard it was a wild ride! That evening after naps we went to a park by the Porter's house. Lincoln loves the park! We went for a drive around town that evening.

Sunday was church. Before church Suzanne hid eggs around the house for the kids to find. Lincoln picked right up on the game. I left his Easter stuff at home, so he got it when we returned. Church was really nice. Here are the kids dressed up for Easter.

Lincoln doesn't like to look at the camera and smile :) He had a great time and talks about Grandma's House, the Farm and the Beach constantly. McKinley was a great girl and just hung out the whole time. So glad she is such a happy baby.
