Supercross 2014

We all had a great time at Supercross!  I was expecting motorcycles doing tricks and stunts but really they just raced.  They were so fast so from where we were sitting we couldn't really get any good pictures so we just took pics of ourselves. I thought Linc would be disappointed with the lack of tricks but he didn't seem to mind.  We got there early too so that we could watch them practice and not fight traffic so he stayed interested for a very long time.  Kaylee says that she likes Supercross more than Monster Jam but I'm not sure the rest of us agree. 

Tremaine 2014

Fact about Kaylee, she LOVES to dance!  She dances while doing the dishes.  She danced while eating.  She dances in the car.  You name and she has probably danced doing it.  So when it is time for Tremaine she really dances! No for real, hours on hours a day for a whole weekend.  We as a family all work together to get her here and she couldn't be more excited.   She said this year was way better than last year.  She knew the dancers this year and it was a little extra exciting because of Twitter.  She actually had the dancers re-tweeting her tweets!  Now that is pretty awesome!

She gets to meet amazing dancers and learn all sorts of new moves.  This year she was so sore she actually stayed home from school on Monday to rest.  Shh....

Last but not least, Marty Dew.  Kaylee has the pleasure of him coming to the studio to dance with them as well.

Lincoln is 5!

Wow, time has flown by.  I can not believe my baby has turned five!   He is very proud of this accomplishment but I think he may be more excited to turn 6.  He keeps saying "when I turn 6, I can do anything I want".  We are not bursting his bubble just yet, lets see how 5 goes first!  Turning 5 sure has its adventures ahead.  He will be starting kindergarten and mommy is quite sad about all the growing up this year will bring.

This year he decided on a tractor party at the boat club.  We were supposed to have hayrides with the mule but the melting snow from a few days earlier quickly turned into an ice rink once the temp dropped again.  He didnt seem to bothered by that as long as he got to have his friends there.   I was amazed at such a great turn out and was blessed to know how many people love Lincoln too!  We sure think he is pretty special.

Extra Special Day!

Today is Valentines Day, or wait no... its Lincoln's Birthday!  

Our family's Valentines Day changed drastically five years ago.  Since I am not good with feelings and emotions I was excited to have a new reason to celebrate the day.  I dont think that Matt was too sad about it either.  However I think I have given him the best Valentines present anyone could ask for!  

A story I will never forget:
We were told that we were having a baby girl and we all wanted a boy very much.  I was worried that he was upset that we were going to have another girl.  One day as we are driving down the road we started discussing the possibility of having more children even though this was supposed to be our last.  He says to me (joking of course) " If you really love me you will give me a boy ".  So that was something I reminded him once our precious baby girl was a BOY!!   What a perfect day to show him just how much I love him, after all I created a boy to prove my love!  

Even though I really am not good with emotions, I do love getting little things for the kids for Valentines Day.

And then there is Lincoln's Birthday!
