Santa

We took Lincoln and Mason to see Santa at our ward Christmas party. Link had fun waiting in line and playing with the Christmas tree, but as soon as he saw Santa, he was not very happy. Neither was Mason.

Mason

Our little Mason has become such a chunky little baby. We love it so much. Once we got his acid reflux under control, he has become a little smiler. He loves attention, and once you give it to him, he smiles like crazy.

Oreos

Lincoln's favorite cookies are oreos. He could probably eat the whole pack in one day if we let him. The only problem is, is that he makes a huge mess whenever he eats them. He always gets them all over his face and hands.

Fall Leaves

We have a big Box Elder tree in our front yard and it has a ton of leaves on it, so every fall, as you can imagine, we always have a lot of leaves to rake up. this year was fun because we took Lincoln out to help us.

Here is Lincoln with our dog Sydney. He had fun walking in the leaves and hearing them crunch under his feet. Sydney just loves Link and followed him around wherever he went.

Here is Link in the big pile of leaves that we had...he didn't really like it at first, but after sitting in them for a little bit, he actually started to have fun.

Here he is standing in the leaves before the pile got really big.

My Little Pumpkin Patch

Here we are at Grandpa Sanders house after we got done Trick-or-Treating. Lincoln wasn't too happy since it was way past his bedtime. Mason on the other had was just fine...
Here we are right before we left to go Trick-or-Treating. We only went to four or five houses on our street, but Lincoln had a lot of fun. Mason was asleep in my arms after the second house.

This is Lincoln and Mason before we left. Don't they look cute?


Lincoln loves his little brother. Here he is going in for a kiss.

Me and My Littlest Pumpkin

This is Mason with his Halloween costume on. He didn't really like it at first since it was a tad to short. (he's taller than Lincoln was at this age and this was Lincoln's costume from last year) But he looked so cute in it we just had to get some pictures.

These are our pumpkins after they had been all carved out. Mine is the one on the right. Its supposed to be a haunted tree... Steve's is the one on the far left, its a bat, and then Lincoln's is next to his. Its supposed to look like Link,(he has four teeth on top and two on bottom), and then Mason's is next to that, he's screaming (cause Mason cries a lot. lol)

Carving Pumpkins

The night before Halloween, we got all our pumpkins and decided to carve them. This was the first time Lincoln had carved pumpkins. He had so much fun. He loved taking the tops off and then had fun trying to fit them back on. He must have done that for about an hour! It is so cute how he's starting to figure things out.

Sleepy Time

Mason is very picky about where and what position he sleeps in. At night, he sleeps on the couch because he doesn't like his bassinet. One day I left him playing on our bed and when I came back to check on him, he had fallen asleep. he looked pretty comfortable, so I had to take a picture.

Another Sanders!

He's officially here! Out newest addtion to our family. Mason Steven Sanders! He weighed 7 lbs at birth and was 20" long. He is such a sweet baby and Lincoln loves being an older brother to him. We are starting to find out that Mason is just about the exact opposite as Lincoln was when he was a newborn. Mason seems to be awake a lot more than Lincoln was and always wants to be held. He loves to cuddle and just stare up at your face. He hates to sleep at night and loves to sleep all day...lol we love him so much. I truly couldn't ask for a better family. I have an amazing husband who adores being a father, and two precious boys. I am so excited to see out two boys grow up and become the best of friends!

This is Lincoln's favorite birthday present! He went crazy as soon as we took it out of the box. He did not want to wait for Steve to assemble it. He just wanted to play with the steering wheel. Now every morning, he points to the door cause he wants to go outside and play in his car.

Its Your Birthday Shout Hooray!

Lincoln turned one this past September so we decided to have a little family party in Steve's Dad's backyard. It was a lot of fun. We went swimming and had a BBQ.

Here is Lincoln with some of his cousins.

Lincoln didn't want any cake. No matter how hard we tried, he wouldn't eat any of it! So, I had his piece...

This is the cake that I bought. for Lincoln and everyone. I only ordered a half of a sheet cake but when I went to go pick it up they brought me this huge thing. They tried to charge me $50 for it, but then after talking to the manager they gave it to me for the price of the half sheet wich was $20. It was awesome!

Digging a Trench

We have had some flooding this past winter and a little bit this summer, so Steve decided he was going to find the leakage problem and fix it...

Lincoln loves to ride on the tractor with Grandpa Sanders!

This is the trench that Steve dug with the tractor. he said after about 10 feet down water just started pouring in. Then he had to get down there and do it by hand to dig around a pipe, in the water.

Here is Steve digging with the tractor!

Spencer's Blessing Day

Angie stopped pushing him and he yelled at her.

This past weekend we went up to Idaho to Amber's little baby Spencer's blessing. The blessing was beautiful and Spencer did so well. Afterwards Amber had a lunch in her back yard. Lincoln found this little car and had a blast "driving" it around. He loves to steer the car while being pushed, but beware, if you stop pushing he will get angry! ha ha

Camping at Bear Lake

Steve's favorite past time...


Grandma feeding Lincoln.

We had a little doggy door on the side of our tent. Lincoln discovered it so we unzipped in and he immediately found his way out! It was so funny!

Here is Lincoln peeking out of the doggy door of the tent.

Pineview Fun

My parents own a condo up at Moose Hollow in Eden, and often go to Pineview Lake. We were able to go with them this past week and Lincoln loved the water (the life jacket, not so much)! The water was chilly but it felt really good with the heat of the sun.

Home Improvements

When we first bought our house about a year ago, it was very old and needed a lot of work. Steve and a lot of other people worked really hard on it and now it looks very good! There are still a lot of improvements that we are working on little by little. This past week Steve installed our new shutters! I love them. Its amazing how something so small can make such a big difference!
