Lunch date!

Passed out

I thought he would wake up once we got into chick fila... I was mistaken. ;)

Temple Night

Thanks Aunt Boo for watching the kids so we could go to the temple last night.

"Daddy's home! I'm so excited!"

As soon as they heard the garage door open tonight, they both raced to the window to look for daddy's truck!

Teasers

They have so many toys, and this has become the new favorite! They both think it is so funny to climb up and start rocking as soon as I look away.

Giggles

Tonight they kept trying to reach across the back seat and hold hands. They kept breaking their grasp and then they would laugh and laugh! One of my favorite parts of my day is to watch Amelia and Lincoln interact with each other. They are so silly and have so much fun! Today I finally had to close Amelia's door so she could take a nap because Lincoln kept sneaking in there. He would climb up next to her bed and they would start giggling. We love to see the love these two have for each other!

Rainbow!!!

(The sun was really bright!)

Mr. Climber

Modeling!

Potty

At least someone is getting some use out of it!

Family firework fun!

Poppers

We were playing with some smoke bombs and poppers tonight and Amelia is hanging onto my leg and says, "that totally freaks me out!" We couldn't stop laughing!!!

On the move

Tried to get a picture of Lincoln laying down sleepily on the floor, but no such luck! He doesn't hold still for long these days!

"Let's take a picture!"

This dragon puppet just may be the best $8 I have ever spent at IKEA :) The nursery kids today absolutely loved it, and Lincoln can't stop growling at it!

Watching

Amelia and I watching President Uchtdorf and his wife as they arrived at Maddox.

President Uchtdorf

Had one of the nearest experiences while some of us were dining at Maddox with Grandpa Keller today! We heard that president Uchtdorf was coming and we were next to the front windows, so we kept an eye out for him. When we came I was able to take Amelia over to the window so she could see him. He came in the back door with his family so they wouldn't draw too much attention, and then after they had been sitting for a bit, he came out to walk around the restaurant to talk to people. He came out and walked all the way to our table in the back corner and started talking to us. He introduced us to his grandson who had just returned home from his mission in China and was on his way to BYU. I have waited 27+ years for such an opportunity to meet an apostle of Jesus Christ, and am so grateful that my kids got to experience that as such a young age! I, of course, was not able to get out a sentence that made sense and Brent was freaking out cuz his hand was on his shoulder for like 3 minutes. Haha we were a little excited to say the least. I am so grateful for my testimony and for a living prophet and his apostles. I am so grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and how it has blessed me and my family's lives.

I'm so glad when daddy comes home...

Glad as I can be!...
So happy to have daddy back from Washington! We sure missed him!

Cottage Cheese

This is why moms can't go to the bathroom alone... I swear I was upstairs with Lincoln for like 3 minutes!!

Sucker!

Half way through the drive home from the doctor, I learn that Amelia has passed her sucker to Lincoln. :) got his ears checked and some stuff for his eczema. :( but in good news, I discovered that my rash this week was from poison ivy. (Really is good news, that is better to hear than some sort of virus!)

Sibling Giggles

Fun Day

Pioneer Day Parade

Lagoon Fun!!

Happy Pioneer Day!

Enjoying the parade with some of my favorite people! We sure missed you daddy! Please come home!!!

Sweet potato fries!

Helping

Earlier this week, I got this picture of Amelia loving being the best big sister! She wanted to help me get Lincoln out of the car.

Rodeo Time!

Crazy to think that last year, he was only a couple weeks old!

It's a hard knock life...

It has got to be so frustrating to want to be down and explore and not be allowed to! Lincoln loved when the horses or bulls would come out, but wasn't wild about the down time between events. And the sounds couldn't have felt good on his poor ears. :( he did love the kettle corn, snow cone, drinks, and scone though! It is great to see him get his appetite back finally! He really is such a sweetheart, this picture just made me laugh because he is definitely at the stage where he wants to be down, if only he had a little more interest in walking!  :)

Rodeo!!!

Aunt Boo's friend came with to the rodeo tonight, and Amelia has a new boyfriend! She wanted to talk to him all night and then told me he was her boyfriend :) She loved sitting with Aunt Boo and Aunt Carly for most of the rodeo and did so well, she is getting so grown up!

Rodeo Days

One of my lash clients' husband is in the Ogden posse, and they get all dressed up and do a shoot out on 25th street for the rodeo! Well... We missed the shoot out today, but got to see her all dressed up! We also got to watch her husband in the posse tonight at the rodeo!

Friday Night Fun

Lagoon wasn't too busy tonight, thank goodness!

Heart Hair

We love trying out new hairstyles!

Sigh...

Going potty with two kids can sometimes be a rodeo... Today before I got a chance to flush the toilet, Lincoln thought Ariel needed to go in for a swim... And then kept trying to get her out! Needless to say, there was lots of panicking haha!

On the mend

Still feeling pretty crummy though. :(

Jungle Gym

Future Cheerleader

We had her clapping and cheering. 'Go team go!'

New Tub Toys!

Favorite Spot

He kept going back all day to sit in this suitcase. Poor guy was supposed to have his well check appt, but we had a sick visit instead. Turns out he has a double ear infection again. :( we go to the ENT in a couple of weeks to have our evaluation to get tubes put in his ears. Poor guy! Thank goodness he is on some antibiotics now, hopefully he starts feeling better soon!

Grown up girl

I don't know what it is about this picture, but she looks so grown up! I love this beautiful girl so much!

Date night!

Finally got to ride some adult roller coasters and go to a movie tonight. The kids (Lincoln) gave poor aunt boo a run for her money! We love you, thank you for not hating us (we hope haha)!

Messy

Looks like a tornado went through my kitchen while aunt Steph did my nails today! It is amazing how quickly little people can make a huge mess!!
