Linky had a Doctor's appointment today... he's healthy! (Shocking, I know! haha!!)

He is in the top 97 percentile in height (27 1/2 inches).... he's in the 50 percentile as far as head circumference... and 70-90 percentile on his weight (17lbs 14oz) and 100 percentile for cutest baby ever at 4 and a half months. ;) (Hey! I'm not the doctor, don't look at me!! lol)

He also had 3 shots today and he didn't like them much. =::( Poor baby. He was so happy and smiling at me and Daddy until all of the sudden that mean lady in the funny clothes stabbed him repeatedly and for no apparent reason!! He only cried for a couple minutes and when we got home I gave him a little bit of baby Tylenol and he seems to be doing okay... not quite as happy as his normal little self, but close enough. =)

Yesterday was Lincoln's first memorial day picnic... here are a few pictures. (I didn't get very many because I thought I had forgotten my camera for the first few hours of it.) =(


Zion was playing some strange new horseshoe-type game called "Cornholes?" most of the afternoon. He play golf in the morning with a bunch of the guys from church. =)

Lincoln was sitting with some new buddies watching his daddy play for a while.

They just couldn't resist all of Linky's miles of smiles!!! It was so cute!! =)

I played one inning of softball before I had to go get Link from Zion. (Zion claims he was fussy... but when by the time I got there, he was fine!) I played 3rd base and got someone out before it was our teams turn at bat. I can proudly say that I was the very first person to strike out!! LOL I haven't played softball since forever! (I think the last time was the year after John was my little league assistant coach!!! haha!) It's been a while!

It was a lot of fun and I wish I could have played longer but, oh well, maybe next time!

I have no pictures of that 'cause of the whole camera thing. =)

LINCOLN ROLLED OVER!!!!!!!!! (FINALLY!)

I was starting to get worried but he finally did it... woohoo!!

Congratulations Jariah and Becca~ Baby #3 is expected to arrive Christmas Day!!!

Fingers crossed for a girl this time!! She'll find out in 3 months what she's having... she's not as much fun as I am!! hahaha

Well, my first Mother's Day is almost over and while I would have to admit that not much out of the ordinary happened today, I did hit the baby jackpot! I am so blessed to be a Mom and I am loving every minute of it!!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there, especially mine!! Have a wonderful rest of the day! And EnJoY!!! =)

Zion and I went garage selling and I got Link some really cute clothes and the exact little baby Einstein gym that I wanted and didn't get because it was so expensive... it was only $5!! He's almost too big for it but at least I'll have it for my next kid. Now I just need to find the perfect exersaucer for him. Hopefully I can find one of those for $20 or less in good shape. (So far the ones I've seen at garage sales are complete junk or too stinkin' pricey!) Jess and I are going again on Saturday though, maybe I'll get lucky. =) I'll let you know.

We watched the movie "Flywheel" that we borrowed from our good buddy Sarah... (thanks Sarah!) it's pretty good. Not nearly as good of quality as Facing the Giants or Fireproof... but still a good story. They have obviously upgraded their movie equipment some since making the movie. Of course the acting in Flywheel isn't even as good as the other 2 movies... which is amazing because the other two are about as good of actors as I am. For those of you who weren't at LA camp the year BCF did the skit... you missed out!! ;) It was quite a show! (I'm also quite impressive in live interview type things... lol)

We just had to break out Facing the Giants since we just watched the other 2 so we are watching that one now. Grant just gave his wife the flowers.... that's my favorite part of the movie. It's so cute.

Zion and I had a fun "date" today. We took a trip down memory lane. We first went for a walk around the boardwalk in Kendrick Woods... Lincoln was asleep the whole time. The sad thing about Kendrick Woods is that they tore down the little wooden house were Zion and I carved our initials long ago. (We were such rebels!) When we were ready to leave the park, Zion asked if I wanted to go ahead and drive on into Spencerville (the town where I grew up) and see my old house. I said, "Sure! If you don't mind!", to which he replied, "no problem... cheap thrills!" So we drove on into town and saw some of my old haunts and even went past Zion's Alma mater. LOL



While we were taking it all in... Zion asked me if I knew what we were close to, and for about 1/2 of a millisecond, I didn't know what he was talking about. Once I realized he was talking about Chuffer's... home of the world famous (okay, not really world famous, but oh so delicious they should be!!!) pizza subs, I clapped my hands in glee and giggled like a little school girl. (Seriously!... and do they really do that???) We called them and ordered a sub each then drove around Spencerville for 20 minutes until they were ready to be picked up... no small feat if you've ever driven around Spencerville. (It's small) 20 minutes is a LONG time to kill driving through good ole Spencertucky!! =) We got our subs and ate them in the car at the park. (Not Kendrick Woods, a different one where I used to play softball.)



The middle school I went to for almost a year (before getting caught trying to sneak to that dance, and pulled out to be home schooled. LOL) is gone. They tore it down. It's really weird cause there's just grass with a little patch of dirt where this huge building used to be. My old house has a giant barn behind it and looks like they added onto what used to be our utility room. They also had a huge pile of trash in the front for the garbage man... looks like they might be remodeling something. There was an old vanity out front (not one that I recognized) and a bunch of boards... if I didn't know any better I would think Mom and Dad never moved out! Hahaha.



To finish off the evening we watched "Fireproof". It's awesome!! I highly recommend it. =)
