Halloween and pictures at last!!!!

I love holidays and with a baby I wanted to make every moment count. I mean it is his first halloween.

So first thing first...Decorating! I don't have a lot of decorations so this year I made one. I made this at my mom's wards enrichment. My mom paid for all of us girls to make one. I love it and actually really surprised it turned out.



Next: Pumpkin Shopping, this is a very serious process of picking the best pumpkin. Then when we are done we take them home and look at them and then think about what we are going to carve them into.





Next comes the haunted ginger bread house. This was my favorite part of halloween. The hardest part was making the gingerbread cookies. It might not look scary but if you look close you will notice gummybears hanging by their feet and one gummybear burning in the chimney, bwahahahahahaha!! Lincoln enjoyed eating frosting and Scott enjoyed doing weird things to my cute house.







Next comes carving pumpkins with the family. Lincoln just played with his mini pumpkin and scott carved fire and I carved stars.






Next is trick or treating at the mall and the zoo!! My best friend Amanda invited us to go to the zoo and it sounded crazy but it was a blast. We got lots of candy and got to see the animals. Lincoln LOVED the monkeys he wouldnt stop watching them. There was lots of lights, music, and decorations. I hope we go next year, it was a blast and very family fun.






and last but definitely not least.......eating the candy! lincoln loves candy(yes i let him eat candy cause I am not a crazy strict mom) and loves chewing on the wrapped candy.




Definitely a wonderful halloween and next year is going to be EVEN BETTER!

Scooting at last!

Lincoln finally figured it out! At my parents house he started pushing with his knees and pulling with his hands. Its slow but he gets to what he wants. I bet in a week it will be more like army crawling. Poor little guy finally figured out swimming doesn't work. So at almost 6 1/2 months he did it.

Six months

Lincoln is six months old today!!
The main thing he can now do is rech out when he wants to be held. I put him on the ground and he puts his hands above his head so I can hold him. It is so cute.

He also has got extremely hyper. He has always been a wiggle worm and constantly kicking. My family can't believe how much he moves. But now he doesn't just kick and jump he screams really loud and laughs really hard. He egts so excited sometimes and stands on his tiptoes and throws his hands in the air. It is really funny looking and then he will scream. My brotjer keeps telling me he is going to be out of control as soon as he can walk cause he already is out of control.

Another thing he has gotten really good at is moving in the direction he wants to go. I don't mean scooting I mean he will see something on his right and twists his body around to get to it.

He also does the "lizard" as we call it. He stivks his tongue in and out really fast just like a lizard. Its really weird but cute. He loves his tongue he always sticks out to the side of his mouth.

Lincoln wants to be a big boy so bad. When he watches his big cousins ay he gets so excitted and laughs at everything the do.

We love you lincoln, you have been such a blessing to us and bring us joy every day. We have never met suc a happy and smilley baby and you never fail to make us smile to.

Ps. I did this post on my phone so sorry about the miss spelled words.

No longer private

Yes my blog is no longer private. Not only was it a pain in the butt but I realised that I never look at private blogs, like never ever, and that most likely goes for people looking at my blog too.So for now it is open to anybody, but I might randomly change back.Scott and Heather

4.5-5.5 months old FIRSTS

Lincoln has had a lot of firsts this past month.

We went to the zoo!
As soon as we got back to Idaho we took a trip to the zoo with the Jones family. I actually don't like the zoo, but with a baby I totally enjoyed it. Lincoln loved the animals and never cried once.





We went to Jackson and played on park toys




I love my baby

He met his new cousins Cohen and Crew! They are both so cute and I can't wait fot them to play together....





He went on his first official fourwheeler ride and he loved it. He kept trying to stand up so he could feel the wind better and he would stomp his feet really hard. (He is kind of like a dog, but instead of wagging his tail when he is happy he stomps his feet and kicks like crazy)





He went on his first official hike. Up the mountain where scott and I had our first wonderful date. So the three of us and Grandma Roberts and Grumppa(he likes this name)climbed the mountain. He loved it so much. He kept looking down the mountain and everytime we looked at him he smiled. On the way down he fell asleep.






Lincoln also took his very first poop in the toilet! A messy story I don't have the time or patience to tell.

He also tries to crawl. For the past two weeks Lincoln gets up on his hands and knees and rocks but......never moves. I don't think he will ever crawl and scooting is hopeless. He scoots across his bed when I put him in there. Then I put him on the floor and he starts swimming, he just doesn't get it! I even tried giving him doggy biscuits!





Alright so there is one thing I absolutely love about having a baby, and that just happens to be dressing him up. I love baby clothes and always make sure Lincoln in stylin' and so of course I bought him his first cute winter hat!



Lincoln spent the day with his cousin and new best friend Cohen. They both love stroller walks and playing outside in the grass. Leena and I liked walking and getting out of the house.





Lincoln went on the trampoline for the first time. He loves it and laughs the entire time.

Here are just a bunch of cute pictures of Lincoln. I love him so much, I am so blessed to have this wonderful baby in my life. I know I am his mom but he really is the cutest baby I have ever seen!








So I just thought I would show you some pictures of some really cute girls!

Sorry no Pictures

Lincoln is five months old and learning more and more!

``He has mastered sitting up!

``He now is creeping! He moves about an inch or two and pushes hard but usually flips over instead of moving.

`` He also moves in circles, but can never actually get to what he wants.

It is true we only have a week left!! I am so freakin' excited to go home to a real house and have a car and of course to see my family! Both my sisters had their babies and I can't wait to see them. We are packing and getting ready to leave next Sunday. We will get to Idaho Wednesday or Thursday next week!

Four months

I can't believe my baby is 4 months old. It's crazy. He has accomplished quite a lot these past couple of months. He now can:
-Get up on his hands and is getting ready to scoot
-Grab things with his hands and puts them in his mouth
-He stares at his hands and grabs his feet
-Can sit up for a good amount of time, but falls when he is excited

Family Pictures

We got our pictures done by: Julie G. Photography! I love them all and can't wait to blow them up big.

Sick baby...again! and sleeping baby.

Lincoln is sick again! With pink eye and the flu... well the throwing up is past but we are taking him to the doctor for his little eye. Poor little guy seems to catch everything. But we love him anyways.

as for sleeping.... it seems to be his favorite thing. at five weeks he was sleeping 6-7hrs a night. By 8 weeks it was 8-9 hrs a night. By 12 weeks it was 10-11 hrs and now it is 12hrs! I just had to brag!

sorry no pictures today, but we got some amazing family pictures done so I will be posting them sometime soon!!!!

More pics

Well not much is going on. Lincoln laughs, rolls, and eats.

baby and crime

Well not much has changed. Lincoln is doing well and continues to learn more each day. He still rolls over lots and can even sit up for a few seconds at a time. He also smiles non-stop and has even began giggling, really giggling. He loves licking things and is growing to be huge. He already fits in his 3-6month clothes because he is so tall, but his 0-3month shorts still fall off cause he is skinny. He gets excited everytime I come in the room. The other day I decided to take a bath with him and when he saw that I was getting in he started laughing, giggling and splashing. It was pretty cute. He has also had his first shower with daddy.











As for me I have picked up indexing(geneology) and avoiding the streets. What I mean by this is trying to stay away from scary people for several reasons.
#1 While heading up to my apartment a lady was screaming for help below and I didn't know what to do. Her boyfriend was beating the crap out of her. The cops came and took care of it. Her arm was broken and when I asked her how she was doing her boyfriend got mad at me.
#2 Below my stairs a man in a wheelchair was beat up and thrown out of his chair and dragged across the ground. There was a lot of blood and Scott thinks it was drug related.
#3 Saturday escaped convicts were seen by our complex
#4 FBI is searching our apartment complex and I don't know why
#5 My good friend saw ten black men beating a white guy with boards, she called 911 but I doubt they got there in time.
#6 Where we live is top in the nation for crime and rape.
#7 My other friend was being harrassed by several guys and they wouldn't leave and so the cops were called yet again.

rolling over again

I know that I brag a lot about my baby, but it is MY baby, so can you blame me? Anyways I finally caught Lincoln on camera rolling over. He has been rolling over since twelve says old, but I don't count it cause he didn't realize what he was doing. BUT he has started rolling over again lots and he knows it so I am counting it. So, on June 6, I caught it on camera the day before his 2nd month birthday.

I can't get the video up, but I will figure it out and post it later......

He is becoming quite the little stud, although I still get "what a pretty little girl", but hey if my little boy is that beautiful I guess I am alright with it. Scott is embarressed and doesn't want people thinking he is a girl. At church he was in his white Sunday outfit and he was drinking out of a bottle with a pink tip. Scott was freaking out, he kept saying, "he looks like a girl heather!" ha ha!











What have we been doing? well keeping busy, very busy. I can't stand being in the house for more than few hours. So after it is clean we are out and about.
Lincoln has been busy making friends. His best friend is little Crue who is 3 months older. Crue always grabs Lincoln and stares at him. Lincoln just rolls on him like he is a pillow.




We go to movies, walks, parties and everything else.









Lincoln is all smiles and giggles these past few weeks. It's really exciting when he gives us big grin and a squeek to go along with it.





Lincoln also had his first hair cut a seven weeks old. We cut 1/2-1 inch off the top, sides and back. He looks pretty scared and cried during it, so I had to finish it up the next day, and don't worry it's still REALLY long!!

As for me, I have been scrapbooking, cleaning, visiting museums, cemetarys, parks, swimming and hanging out down town. North Carolina has everything to do. I also have been running for the past 3 weeks and I am already up to 3 1/2 miles!!! I am falling in love with North Carolina more and more and I am going to miss it lots when we have to go back to boring old Rexburg.

Also: I LOVE APX!!!
Before choosing what company we would sell with, we met with other security company recruiters. In the end we chose APX, they are the third biggest company in the nation and so we trusted that they were good. Well, we are SO happy we chose them. They spoil us rotten. Every saturday they take us out to eat at a fancy restaurant and usually have big barbeques for everyone.
And....they took us to Myrtle Beach!!


We got to spend two nights on the beach in a hotel. Right off our balcony we could see the beautiful ocean.

We all got to go boating and spend an entire day on the beach

The best part was jetskiing in the ocean. Wow!! It was crazy, the waves were huge and we jumped really high.






That night they took us to the coolest restaurant ever..

It was all you can eat shrimp, crab, ribs, steak, and anything and everything you could dream of.

It was really neat eating there with all the cool artwork. I was so excited I was giggling.



Scott was giggling cause he loves seafood








Scott also won a shopping spree from APX!!! YAY! We get to go to Walmart and run through the store with a shopping cart and try to fill it up before the clock runs out. How fun is that!
