Baby's first Halloween

This year was Lincoln's first Halloween, and i know he was too little to go out trick-or-treating, but i still bought him a cute pumpkin costume and dressed him up first thing that morning. i know you don't usually dress your kids up til it gets dark, but i figured that he wouldn't be able to wear it again, so i might as well get all the use out of it as i can. i know it was more fun for me than it was for his since he slept through the whole evening, but i sure enjoyed showing him off to all the neighborhood trick-or-treaters.

i got so many compliments on how cute he was.

i can't wait til next year when he might be able

to enjoy it a little bit more!

Sanders Family

Steve and I were married on October 12th, 2006 at

the Eldridge Manor and then were later sealed for

time and all eternity in the Salt Lake City Temple

on October 12, 2007. We thought at the time that

nothing could possibly make us any happier than

to be together forever....that is until September

25th, 2008 when we were blessed with our BEAUTIFUL

baby boy, Lincoln Travis Sanders. He weighed 5 lbs

15 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. Ever since that

day, our lives have not been dull at all. i know

that everyone thinks that new borns don't do much,

but Lincoln seems to keep us entertained! While

most newborns make little "coo" sounds, Lincoln

makes little grunts and growls, and occasionlly

he will make farm animal noises. I think his

favorite is the sheep. but he also makes puppy

and horsey sounds. its adorable! Its amazing to

me that our Heavenly Father has trusted us with

one of his precious children to raise and teach

the gospel to. there are moments when i get

overwhelmed thinking about how tough its going

to be, but at the same time i am so excited to

be his mother and teach him everything i know!

I never knew i could love someone so much!
