February Update

It doesn't seem that I am able to update the blog more than once a month right now so I'm just posting another monthly update.   February has been a bit of a roller coaster.  We've had a lot of fun but we've also been sick too.  Lincoln was sick for about 10 days with a pretty bad cold.  He's also gotten two more molars in which caused him to be a bit irritable.  
Our weekends have been filled up with little adventures like going sledding, going to the park (in a snow suit because it's still dang cold here) and going up to Grandma and Grandpa's new house - which is still under construction. Rick, Natalee and I have become "Ticket to Ride" fanatics. have been playing about five nights a week.  It has become our routine for after Lincoln goes to bed. If you haven't played the train game, Ticket to Ride, I would highly recommend it.  I've also gotten into online scrapbooking.  I've always been a scrapbooker but I've switched to an online program. It is so much faster and cheaper.  Costco will print 3 12x12 pages for $5.00.  I could never make three pages for five bucks before.  The other thing I really like about it is that there aren't any supplies to get out or put away and there's no paper mess all over the floor.  With Lincoln around, online scrapping is so much more convenient!  Anyway, not much more going on with us.  Just staying busy and trying to stay warm.

Ricky and Lincoln sledding from the top of the hill.  I couldn't believe how fast they went. 
Lincoln loves sledding!  The faster he goes, the bigger the smile!
I love this pondering face.  I wish I knew what he was thinking.

Since it was sunny and about 40 degrees we decided to spend sometime at the park.
It's not so easy to play with the toys when you have huge snow gloves on!

Another Wedding

My little sister, Michaela, is engaged!!  Jared proposed to her a couple weeks ago down in Arizona (where he lives) while she was visiting.  I have only met him once but he seems like a nice enough guy.  She seems very happy and excited!
