Wanna be photographer

So Lincoln is 4 months old...already!!!!! Man time sure flies! I decided I could totally take pictures. I mean, I've watch my sister, Taneya, take pictures lots and it doesn't look that hard. Wow was I wrong! Taneya-you amaze me. Granted it does help when the subject of the picture cooperates (which Lincoln did not) and when you have adequate lighting but it takes a lot more talent than I have, that's for sure! This is how our wanna be photo session went...from bad to worse. Lincoln did not like it and it shows. I'm not going to lie....these pictures are hilarious!!!! I can't wait to show these to his futures girl friends, friends, fiance-you name it I will show them :) Pay back for not cooperating. 

But in the end I sort of got a decent picture. He wouldn't even look at me though. Am I really that mean?!

Life lately...

I just started a new job! I love it!!!!!! This new job allows me to stay home with Lincoln tons more which is such a blessing. It has been so fun to be able to spend more time with him and Chris. I even cook dinner more now because I have time and don't feel so wiped out.  :) But anyway....here's what life is like around our house....

 More time to play with Lincoln. He loves his turtle!

 This one makes me laugh...one day he wouldn't breast feed and just kept squirming when I held him so I stuck him in his car seat and gave him a bottle and he was totally fine...silly boy!!!

 Sometimes there is just too much to do and not enough hands....This carrier is a life saver!!

And just because I absolutely love pictures of sleeping babies...they are so precious!

Gearing up for winter

It has gotten COLD here in Utah. I almost thought I was back in Rexburg the other day...brrrr!!! So times call for the winter gear. I saw this hat and just had to get it for Lincoln. He's so cute in it and he really does like it. He just has a hard time showing emotion...must be a boy things ;)

Halloween 2012

We had lots of fun carving pumpkins this year. Lincoln even got a little taste of pumpkin painting, except on a squash. We couldn't find a baby pumpkin so we substituted :)

I think our little pumpkin/squash family turned out so good!!!!

LeAvEs!!!!!!!

All the leaves are pretty much off the trees and on the ground now. I took Lincoln outside for some fresh air and we decided to play in the leaves for a little bit. It was so much fun watching him try and figure out what in the world the gold, crunchy things were.

Lincoln even rolled over and I captured it all...how lucky is that?!

Ever wonder what happens when mom is gone...

Fall time fun...

We went to the park to take advantage of the nice weather. Lincoln loved it! He enjoys being outside so much...YAY!! We thought he would start crying and make a scene when we laid him in the bark but he didn't. We even got some emotion captured on film!! (that doesn't happen too often from this little guy-he doesn't like his picture taken)

 We did a little Halloween photo shoot in Lincoln's costume. He didn't mind being in the costume until the end and then he was really done! He makes such a cute monkey!!!!

 Happy Halloween!!!!!!
