So cute!

I walked into the family room at my parents house the other day and I saw Linkin watching Montorey and imitating everything she did. He wants so bad to be one of the big kids, it's adorable! I had to snap a picture of him trying to cozy up next to her and pretend to watch a show he would never watch on his own EVER! So stinkin' cute!

Family Party

My dad's brother and sister came into town last weekend with their spouses and we had a way fun family get together. It was my grandma and grandpa's wedding anniversary, and a bunch of people birthday right around the same time, so we made it a "catch all" party. Part of that "catch all" was Linkin's 2nd birthday. We had such a fun time catching up with the aunts and uncles we don't get to see very much and celebrating with each other. Thanks everyone for coming! We had a great time!

Linkin blowing out the candle on the cake. You may notice the candle is a number 4. We had an number 2 somewhere but we couldn't find it. Luckily Alexandra turned 4 a few weeks ago so we just used her candle. Linkin didn't know the difference he was just excited to blow out the "fi-ow."

The piece of cake he thought was still on his fork had actually fallen and is sitting on the edge of his plate. He is keeping his mouth open wide just in case there's more cake somewhere on that fork!

All of the cousins at Linkin's birthday party. This is them posing and being adorable. The second this picture was over, this happened.....

DOG PILE ON DOUG!!!!! They had a good time doing that and Doug was stuck for a while. 7 kids on you is pretty heavy!

This is a picture of my dad's side of the family. Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Suzie, Dad, Mom, Aunt Neta, Uncle Arnie, and Uncle Dennis.

Mr. Rodgers

One of my favorite things to do is dress Linkin up for church on Sunday. It just cracks me up to see him in these cute little dressy outfits. I think it is hilarious and he looks freaking adorable! I have also been addicted to bargain shopping lately. I get this crazy thrill when I get something for ridiculously cheap. This outfit would be one of my amazing conquests to find adorable clothing for cheap. I think he looks a little bit like Mr. Rodgers in his button up sweater, but it is cute regardless!

Girls Night Out

Last weekend we had one of the funnest girl nights ever! We went to Sapporo's for some amazing food, sushi, and a lot of laughs. After that we left and went for some yummy yogurt to continue with our funny story telling and laughter. Such a fun girls night ladies. Lets do another one again soon! Thanks to our husbands who are so awesome about watching the kids while we get to go out and have some fun grown up style! (and by that I mean being out and about with out our children =) In the picture is Brittany, Vanessa, Tiffany, Dani, Me, Krissie, and Stephanie. Funnest girl group ever!

Here birdie, birdie, birdie

Today Linkin and I met our friends Stephanie and Taylor at Barnes n' Nobles for story time. I figured Linkin wouldn't even last so we just started over at the Thomas the Train set where I knew we would inevitably end up. After the trains we went to go eat our lunch by the fountain and Linkin discovered a real fun game! He ate a ton of lunch like a good boy, but than when he was done he was throwing his crumbs down on the floor and watching the birds eat it. He accidentally dropped stuff the first few times and than loved watching the birds all run around and get the food so he started throwing it. We were surrounded by at least 40 birds! They were on the ground, up in the trees, on lamp posts, you name it they were waiting for Linkin to feed them their next big meal. He was say, "bite" and throw them their treats and squeal in delight. He than realized that he could climb down out of his chair and chase the birds around for a while. His adorable behavior had me and everyone around cracking up laughing and just staring at how darn cute he was! There was something so pure and innocent in that moment I can't describe that was true joy. I didn't have my camera with me, but I grabbed a few shots on my phone. He was in no way finished when it was time to leave, but we had to go home for nap time. We will for sure do that again! Fun day with my little man! I LOVE HIM AND I LOVE BEING A MOM!!!!
