Simming lessons

Lincoln and I have been taking Mommy and tot

swim lessons for the past week. We have been

having a lot of fun.

Lincoln has been learning how to float on

his tummy and back and jump into the water.

He really doesn't know that he has been

learning these things but he has loved being

in the water.

Lincoln loves water.

Playing in the water. We have had a lot of

fun with swimming lessons. Daddy and Grandma

got to come watch one day.

Fun pictures and Memorial Day

The other day I babysat the neighbor girls

and Lincoln decided to take this cute little

girl for a ride.

One day when Craig came home from work

he lay down on the floor like this,

the next thing we knew Lincoln came

up right by him and did the exact same thing.

Isn't he funny.

So Cute!
Lincoln found my shoes and decided to wear
them, this was the only way he knew how
to get them on.
So excited he got the shoes on his arms.

For Memorial Day we had a great Breakfast at

our house with all of our family, Grandma and

Grandpa Ward and Grandpa Ockerman. After

Breakfast we decided to go to Temple Square

and see the Joseph Smith Movie. It was really

good.

Walking at Temple Square.

Dad had alaready seen the movie so

he offered to stay out with Lincoln

so Craig and I could have a chance to

see it. What a good Grandpa he got

Lincoln to sleep.

After Salt Lake we went to our Favorite place for one

last dinner out for Kelsey, Cafe Rio yum!

Funny story:
On the way home from California after Megans

open house we stopped in Las Vegas for some lunch

and while we were eating a man came in sat down close to

our table and started talking on his cell phone really loud

about how his wife was pregnant, they had no money

for gas because they used the last of what they had on a

funeral for his dad, he was telling the priest on the phone

that he just needed to him to wire him some money. Well

we were just feeling really bad for this guy and debating rather

or not we should give him money when another family who was

also listening said don't give him anything we are sure he is just

trying to scam us. Well we didn't give him money and dad was feeling

a little bad about that. Well at Cafe Rio yesterday, we were eating and

some guy came and sat down close to us and low and behold he

did the exact same thing,they same sad story it was the same guy that

we saw in Las Vegas, what are the chances of that. All the sudden my

mom started yelling at him you are such a lier. A few minutes latter his

wife shows up and they take

off, they must have figured out we knew. So Weird. Dad didn't feel bad

at all anymore.

After Cafe Rio we went home and everyone took

naps, then we play some Bocci ball in the back yard.

It was a lot of fun.

It was fun trying to come up with creative ways to

throw the balls.

Great Grandpa Ockerman

and Lincoln

Just a funny picture with Lincoln's pants on his head.

Swimming!

Lincoln got a swimming pool for his birthday,

so we decided to try it out yesterday.
Lincoln loved the pool!

Lincoln loves being outside and also loves

playing in any amount of water so he

was in heaven being outside playing in the

pool.

A couple of times I had to get him out of the pool

to run into the house to check dinner and he

screamed at me everytime.

Isn't he cute!

He loved every minute and when it started

getting windy and cold I made him go inside

and he cried for 10 minutes. I am glad he loves

being outside so much.

Happy Mothers Day!

I just wanted to say how much I love my
mother and mother-n-law they are both
such wonderful women and I am glad
I have the opportunity to learn from both
of them how to be a better mother. I love you
guys. I also wanted to say how much I love
being a mom to Lincoln I wouldn't want to be doing
anything else. Thank you to my dear husband
for the flowers for my pot outside and for getting
up with Lincoln this morning and letting me sleep in
you are so wonderful. I love both you and Lincoln
very much!

Getting Bigger!

These are pictures of Lincoln with his bear from 1 month

old to 12 months old. Look how much he has changed!

Grandma Fryer

Grandma and Grandpa Fryer came down to visit

for a few days. Monday was Liz's birthday.

Happy Birthday Liz!

We went to Macaroni Grill fro Dinner

before we took them back to the Airport.

Lincoln loved dinner.

We had a great time with Liz and Andy.

Thanks so much for coming and for

all your help.

1st Birthday!

Our little boy had his First Birthday on Sunday!

I can't belive he is one already. We had a great

party with all our family. We had a little

Seasame Street Themed Birthday.

I made Lincoln this Cookie Monster Cake.

I think it turned out pretty good.

Here is Grandma Michelle and Matt getting

the balloons ready.

Here is some of the Decorations and presents.
Lincoln woke up from a nap just as the
party was starting. He was having a hard
time waking up.
Albertson's gives a free
cake for 1st birthday's I think
it turned out cute.
The tables. Grandpa Fryer set them up in
an L for Lincoln.

Party Hats!

Here are all our guests. We are so glad they all came

Liz and Andy came from Oregon to see Lincoln

on his birthday. Matt and Kelsey came and Al,

Tyler and Megan. Our little family and Grandma Michelle and

Grandpa Ron. We sure love everyone and

are sure glad they were all able to come.We

had homemade Cafe Rio Salads for dinner.

Lincoln made a haul. He loved everyone

of his new presents (maybe the clothes a little less

than everything though). He got that chair

and loves sitting and standing on it.

For being only one he actually did really good

opening things on his own.

Lounging

Lincoln with all of his things. He got that cute

wagon from Grandma and Grandpa Fryer and

he loves to push it around.

So Cute!

My family did swimming things, he got the cute

chair and pool, he got clothes a toy and a swim suite.

We can't wait for it to get a little warmer so we can go

outside to try everything out. He also got the slide

from mommy and daddy.

It took mommy to show Lincoln what to do with the cake

but after he first stuck his hands in it he loved it.

He just kept scraping the frosting off, he didn't

even really eat the cake.

He made a huge mess but at least he had fun.
He loved it!

Lincoln with the cake mommy made.

After cake he definately needed a bath.

We had a great time and are so grateful to everyone

for everything they did and for being so great to

Lincoln. We love you all!
