Well, we just got home from camping and I am tired!! We had a wonderful time despite the rain and the fact that Linc is suffering with his first cold/ ear infection! Pictures to come later...

We said "so long" to Jariah, Becca, Brandon and Ben tonight... that was depressing. Brandon cried.... I'm not sure if it was cause he's leaving in the morning or cause he didn't want to go to bed tonight... either way... it was sad! We are really going to miss them, fingers crossed that it will only last as long as last time. (Not really counting on that though since Becca's preggers... but last time I was, so who knows!!! lol)

We are going camping on Wednesday and Thursday with the whole family... and I am really excited about it... (I love camping)but at the same time it's gonna be bittersweet. Jariah and Becca are leaving straight from the campground to go to Canada. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that our separation will be of short duration much like the last time we were separated (when they moved back to Ohio and we stayed in AZ) and only last 6 weeks! Unfortunately.... I don't know how that would happen. They do keep leaving us... could it be that they are sick of us?? Maybe I should take the hint?! I always try to be a good friend/ sister/ sister-in-law.... but it does make a girl wonder!!

Come to think of it.... last time I went camping... the day we were done was also my Grandma's funeral. Coincidence?? I don't know... camping might not be my thing after all...

Some more family photo's.... 6 Months Old!!
My Little Man


Brandon is soooo funny! What did we take? 300 pictures??
His expressions are like snowflakes throughout! hehehe

I love this one...

Family Photo Shoot!

These are just a few... I will post more later! (Once they have been approved!! lol)

Lincoln got more shots today... he cried. He has been a little bit whiny since he got them, but nothing too terrible. (He's watching a Baby Einstein right now... so he's happy for at least the next 20 minutes!! hehe) I actually remembered to take my camera this time so here are some Doctor Visit Pictures!!!

Right after the first shot....
Before she gave him any shots....
Dr. Stalkamp doing his examination....

Squishing his tummy.... I'm no Doctor so I'm not sure why they do this....

Chillin' out on the table before the nurse got started with weight/ measurements... he's 19 pounds 13 ounces and 27 inches long.

Here is the pictures I thought I had before!! LOL

Okay, for some reason I put the pictures on here backwards, and I'm not moving them all around again... so scroll to the bottom then go up for the correct sequencing. Thanks!!

Walking back to the car.... so tired!
Linky was actually watching the fireworks at this point (unlike Elisabeth!!)... as well as chewing the rings from Grandma.
Picture of our group watching fireworks from behind us.
Watching the fireworks.... Lincoln was still playing with(chewing) the glow in the dark rings that Grandma bought him and not really paying much attention to the fireworks at this point... he eventually started watching the fireworks show and really seemed to like it. =)

The orchestra and fireworks....

Elisabeth and Link

Link loves Daddy!!

Papa, Grandma and Kids

Lincoln is more interested in the hand that DOESN'T have the sparkler.... go figure!

WoW!!

Jariah, Becca Brandon and Ben (AKA... The Losers!)

Zion, Lincoln and Jeshanah

Waiting for the fireworks to start...

Walking to the fireworks.... who would have thought we would need so many blankets on the 4th of JULY?? It was surprisingly cold this year!!!

We played baseball.... I didn't get one hit.

Sleepy baby with Grandma...

Papa and Linky
