Produce!

First of all I posted several other posts

so if you are interested keep reading after

this one. I got to plant my first garden

this year and it has been very exciting,

wondering if anything was going to grow.

How ever when we got back from

Idaho this is what we found....

We had peas that were ready to

be eaten, and one tomato. I was so excited.

What our garden looks like now.

Peas. It has been so much fun to see how much

the plants are growing. I am excited to what

we will have to eat next.

Idaho

This past weekend we were able to

go to Idaho for my Grandpa Ockerman's

70th Birthday party and while we were

there we got to see our other grandparent's (Lincoln's

great grandparent's) as well. This is Lincoln with

his Great Grandma Ward.

Great Grandpa Ward took Lincoln for a

ride on his scooter.
Lincoln wanted to drive.

We also took Craig and Tyler over to see

the Idaho Falls Temple and the "Falls".

Grandpa Ron took us to the Idaho Falls.

All the boys.

Trying to pet the goats.

Link was not so sure he wanted a drink out of that

Lions mouth.

Strange Sloth bears they had in the Asian area.

Aunt Megan and Link.

We got to see some awesome Tigers they

were the biggest I have ever seen. I'm

glad this one is fake.

We had to get Lincoln a little drink. He

loved it and also got it every where.

The clan. We had a great time.

While we were at Great Grandpa

Ockerman's house Lincoln discovered

the great taste of fresh peas.

Great Grandpa Ockerman's Birthdays.

Eating lunch like a big boy up to the counter.

We had to tie him to the chair so he wouldn't

fall off.

4th of July

To start off the 4th of July we went to the

Grande Parade in Provo. My mom and

her friend went at 5:30 a.m. to get us

seats. They did great. Lincoln with

daddy.

Lincoln loved the parade and was waving to

everything that went by.
Lincoln with Grandma.

Lincoln thought he was so cool to be

wearing Grandpa's glasses.

They seemed to be having a great time.

Al and one of his friends, what nerds.

All worn out from the parade.

After the parade we went to my mom

and dads for a BBQ.

Lincoln borrowed the Liberty hat from

Uncle Al and was having a great time

wearing it. Isn't he so cute!

What a silly boy.

Playing!

Relaxing, full and happy.

In the afternoon we went over to the park

to wait for the fireworks. The boys played

bocci ball while we were there.

Lincoln and mommy hanging out.

Grandma and Aunt Megan took Lincoln to the

little play area and he was having a blast

climbing and playing.

Going down the slide with Aunt Megan.

Lincoln loved running across this bridge.

A family shot on the 4th. The big news of the day

was that Lincoln started walking everywhere.

He nows walks all the time and it is so cute.

Caught on Tape!

Here is a little video of Lincoln walking

and talking. He still doesn't walk all the time though,

but he does talk all the time.

He was being very willing to walk for the camera today

that usually doesn't happen. So here is another little

clip. What a cute little boy!

Baseball!

Craig and I really like going to baseball games

and on Friday night we were lucky enough to

go to an Owls game.

The fam at the game. Link seemed to be

enjoying himself.
What a cute little boy.

We took Megan and Tyler with us.

We were glad you guys came.

Silly Boy.

He must like baseball too.

The game wasn't all that great. We think it

was because it was so early in the season.

But we had fun being there anyway.

Unfortunately it ended up raining towards

the end but we still had a great time. Thanks

hun for taking us.

Strawberry Days!

Unfortunately we didn't get to do to much for

Strawberry Days this year because of the rain.

Lincoln and I had been sick for a couple weeks and

we didn't want him outside to much. We did go to the

Strawberries and Creme Concert one night.

We had a lot of fun with the music and just being

outside with everyone. Here is the gang.
Brian and Kathleen Haskell came and sat by
us.

Mom and Kathleen.

Link enjoying the outdoors.

Craig and Dad.

We also went to the parade on Saturday which

was quite sad becuase it rained almost the

entire time. However we did get to

see some of it.

I love strawberry days. Hopefully next year

it will be a little better.

Naps

So for the last two weeks we have been
having issues with getting Lincoln to take a nap.
Usually he is a very consistent nap taker usually
a nap at 9:30 and then one around 2:30.
Each nap is about an hour and a half. Well
these last two weeks he decided that the only time he
would take a nap was if we were in the car. If I put
him down in his crib he would either fall asleep for 20 minutes
and wake up screaming or scream and then talk
forever and never fall asleep. This is very frusterating
because we can tell how tired he is by his crying and rubbing
his eyes. I am at the point where I don't know what to do.
If anyone has any suggestions in this area PLEASE let me know.
