Pool Time

Friday, Megan and I took the boys swimming to my parents neighborhood pool. It's much bigger and less crowded than our community's pool. These two had the run of the pool for a good part of the morning. They played H-A-R-D for 2 solid hours. One thing that always cracks me up about these two is their obsession with the other boy's stuff. Here they are wearing each other's sunglasses and Lincoln was running around in Conner's crocs. Usually when Conner comes over to the house, he comes out wearing a pair of Lincoln's shoes.

Freckles

Love his new little freckles

Lincoln went to play with Conner and Megan (May May to Lincoln) last Thursday while I went to work. Lincoln adores Megan and she is so good to him. Conner and Lincoln play really well together and always seem to have fun. We've done so much together with the boys over the last 2 years and I look forward to future play dates!

Burning Off Some Energy!

Today we spent part of the morning at a gymnastics center for their Preschool Open Gym. Lincoln seemed to have fun for the most part, it was a little spread out and unstructured, so at times he couldn't figure out what to do next. Here are a few shots of the day.

Check out what Lincoln did today while Mommy was working. Looks like he didn't have time to miss me!

Brenden's 2nd Birthday

My best friend's son turned 2 on Saturday, so we headed to Frisco to help him celebrate. We had a fun time swimming and eating, but left on a sad note, sort of :). If Brenden is 2, that means Lincoln will be 2 in less than 3 months. THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!

Swimming with Brenden

Mmmmmmm, cake!

Swimming with Natalie

Isn't she precious!

The day before we went to "Rocket Park" in Allen with Auntie Holly and the kids she nannies for, Chance and Baily. Lincoln had a ball following Baily around, they even matched. I like this shot, looks like a Tommy Hillfiger add with the blond hair and patriotic clothing!

Conner

Today Lincoln and I met Megan and Conner at the mall. The boys played in the play area, we ate lunch at Chick Fil A and rode the carousel. We even managed a quick trip to Gap. Of course, I found a cute shirt for Lincoln. Lincoln and Conner had lots of fun and are really great playmates even though Conner is 7 months older. Here they are riding the carousel.

Z is for Zoo!

Today my sister Holly and I took Lincoln and Chance to the Dallas Zoo. Holly is Chance's nanny. Here are a few pictures from today.

Lincoln and Chance on the Elephant

Thanks to the book, Goodnight Gorilla, Lincoln is obsessed with Gorillas.
He calls them "luh luh luh luh"



Hello!

The water fountain was a close 2nd to the Gorilla exhibit!

Riding the Endangered Species Carousel

Nice choice, Lincoln.

Here he is saying "luh luh luh luh"

Up close and personal with his friend, Mr. Gorilla.

I love the 80's

Today, my friend Angi and I chaperoned Lincoln and Audrey's first date at the roller skating rink. We went to Thunderbird Skate in Plano. Growing up, I attended many a birthday party at this very same rink. While managing not to fall, we worked up a light sweat, reminisced over leg warmers and slap bracelets and had a really good time. Here are a few pictures of our morning. Oh, I was a little disappointed in the music selection. While they played Footloose, that was the only real 80's shout out!

Here's one for the scrapbook

Valentine's Day

Lincoln had a very happy Valentine's Day. He got a big blue ball and a bubble wand. He loves saying "bubbles" while he chases them in the backyard. It's pretty cute. Lincoln also got me a card that he helped color and sign his name (thanks Ryan!). And today, while we were playing in the backyard, Lincoln was picking dandelions and giving them to me....so sweet!

A picture of Lincoln's Valentine's Day breakfast before he dug in. (There is a pancake under the blueberries). But now that I look at it, it appears very Fourth of July-ish.

Lincoln playing in Anna's shopping cart at his Valentine's Day party on Thursday.

Lincoln and his Valentine Anna. She was on board, but Lincoln was having doubts. I think that is because in his heart, Mommy is his Valentine! Anna is seriously so cute and she is a younger woman...only 8 months, but who's counting.

Park time

We had gorgeous weather yesterday, so Lincoln and I met up with Connor and Megan for a walk and some play time at the park. Lincoln loves playing with Connor and they always end their playtime with a high five. Connor is one of Lincoln's favorite friends.
