Working Guys

2014-03-30 15.49.00
Looks like Lincoln is ready to mow some lawns. Either that or he is about to assist daddy and Uncle Corren with a little concrete project.

Jumping Jellybean


Zeke got to go to Jumping Jellybeans today with the Crawfords. It was a much-needed opportunity to expend some of his energy. (And for mommy and Lincoln to catch a nap.)

Daily Dose of Artwork


Lincoln had a little bit of fun with a green marker today. He looks like a little caveman. And below is Zeke's depiction of what he things the baby is going to look like.

Gabby Snaps


I never tire of getting these little snapshots from Gabby while I'm at the office. They are great at posing like goofs.

This is Harriet's friend, and Zeke is pretty pleased that she's visiting for Spring Break.

This Big

IMG_1377 Zeke has it all figured out. Since he knows that it is spring, it must follow that this baby is ready to be born. He's been following its progress on this well-worn sheet from the doctor's office. Today he informed me that he knew how big baby was and then celebrated with a happy dance. We'll see how happy he actually is when baby is here.

Spring Planting

IMG_0021
We purchased these seed starter kits about a month ago and Zeke was NOT pleased when we told him that we weren't quite ready to start them yet. So today it was quite a treat for him. He very carefully poured the right amount of water in each section. And Lincoln very carefully supervised. Okay, he supervised.

IMG_0025
Then Emmarie dropped in for a bit, so they took a break to play outside then back to the seeds.

A Big Project

IMG_0006
Robb has been working on yet another project for me. I'm so lucky to have such a talented guy. He is working on some built-in bookcases for the far end of our living room. And Lincoln was determined to "help" today at every point. Lucky dada.

Going for a Walk

2014-03-22 13.14.08 Spring is here! Time to get outside and do a little exploring, and Fackenthalls is the perfect place for it.

Love

IMG_0003 Not sure if this is actually a hug, or an attempted wrestling move. Either way, they really do love each other.

Lincoln's First Haircut

IMG_0001
One last shot before the trimming begins.

IMG_0016 - Version 2
Well, the day finally came. I said it wouldn't, I said it was just going to grow out. It was so cute, he looked like such a sweet baby. But, it was time. (Officially, that is. Zeke already took out a wee chunk.)

I have to say, he took to the haircut much easier than I thought he would. He didn't squirm and fuss, just leaned into it. And now he looks all grown up. Sigh.

The BEST Apple Pie. Ever.

2014-03-15 10.48.21-1

I don't make this claim lightly. Because apple pie is serious business. I mean, my grandma made a wicked good apple pie. And my mom's apple pie is pretty much the best, a recipe I'm lucky to have. But when Robb took that same recipe and baked it in his cast iron skillet? Well, you would have had to have been there.

Bag of Beans

IMG_1362

This little goof must have decided that a coffee bean bag made a good sleep sack. Seems a bit itchy to me...

Sheila, the Shop Dog

2014-03-09 14.07.43

Sheila just wants to be close to Robb. So when he spent the day in the shop, she found a way to snuggle in and keep him company.

Those Thighs

IMG_1358
I know they will be gone all too soon.

Baby Girl!

2014-03-08 13.12.502014-03-08 13.12.522014-03-08 13.12.45We felt so lucky to get to hang out with little Katelynn this afternoon. Almost as soon as she was out of her car seat, Zeke was demanding to hold her. Good grief, where was this love of babies when we brought Lincoln home?

Little Cupcake Thief

2014-03-08 06.57.58 Gabby made a batch of cupcakes with the boys the other day. Amazingly enough, they were not all gone this morning when Lincoln woke up. Robb caught him in the act of polishing off the last one.

Feeling Silly

IMG_1353IMG_1355 On Friday nights, Zeke gets to go to sleep in our bed. The tradition began because he wanted to start every night in our bed. So now, if he goes to sleep in his own bed all week, Friday night is cuddle and chat time.

He has all sorts of topics that he wants to cover and he loves hearing stories and then there is plenty of giggling. Tonight I tried to get a picture of us, but every time he made the silliest faces. On purpose. What a little poser.

A Day at the Park

We took them over to Fort Walla Walla and one of the highlights was the swing set. And the mud puddles. And the dirt bike track. Lots of fun for little boys.

Gabby Snaps

IMG_1344IMG_1346IMG_1345IMG_1347 These kids are just growing up so quickly. Lincoln is loving any opportunity to show off big kid skills. Like sitting at the table in a chair with no booster, or feeding himself with a spoon.

Bare Feet

2014-03-01 13.30.42 How cute are these two? Is is hard to believe that someday those pudgy little feet in the middle are going to be like Dada's.
