The Crawl-Scoot

I wouldn't exactly call it crawling and it is not your typical scooting. So, it is the Crawl-Scoot. Lincoln gets up on his hands and knees, then he crawls two steps with only his legs and falls forward. Gets back up and repeats. We call it Lincoln scooting cause basically it involves a lot kicking his legs really fast. I have never seen anything like it, and if I could figure out how to post videos I would put it on here.
it is sad though that he is growing up. I enjoyed my little baby.

Halloween and pictures at last!!!!

I love holidays and with a baby I wanted to make every moment count. I mean it is his first halloween.

So first thing first...Decorating! I don't have a lot of decorations so this year I made one. I made this at my mom's wards enrichment. My mom paid for all of us girls to make one. I love it and actually really surprised it turned out.



Next: Pumpkin Shopping, this is a very serious process of picking the best pumpkin. Then when we are done we take them home and look at them and then think about what we are going to carve them into.





Next comes the haunted ginger bread house. This was my favorite part of halloween. The hardest part was making the gingerbread cookies. It might not look scary but if you look close you will notice gummybears hanging by their feet and one gummybear burning in the chimney, bwahahahahahaha!! Lincoln enjoyed eating frosting and Scott enjoyed doing weird things to my cute house.







Next comes carving pumpkins with the family. Lincoln just played with his mini pumpkin and scott carved fire and I carved stars.






Next is trick or treating at the mall and the zoo!! My best friend Amanda invited us to go to the zoo and it sounded crazy but it was a blast. We got lots of candy and got to see the animals. Lincoln LOVED the monkeys he wouldnt stop watching them. There was lots of lights, music, and decorations. I hope we go next year, it was a blast and very family fun.






and last but definitely not least.......eating the candy! lincoln loves candy(yes i let him eat candy cause I am not a crazy strict mom) and loves chewing on the wrapped candy.




Definitely a wonderful halloween and next year is going to be EVEN BETTER!
