The other night he said to Shawn:
"...baseball is in my heart, dad."

Lincoln turned 8!

Yesterday was a bitter-sweet day,
my sweetest of sweets turned 8!
We had a photo shoot on Saturday for his
upcoming baptism!
I saw him in a completely different light.
He's growing up.





Mr. Smiley. He hates that nickname.
I checked him out of school for his birthday date.
We went to Red Robin because I knew he wanted a huge milkshake.
He loved it.
and I love him.

there aren't many...

there aren't many times
when I say "my feet are freeeezing"
that he doesn't jump up and get me some socks
and puts them on my feet.

there aren't many times in the morning
that he doesn't kiss me on the cheek
before he leaves for work
and tucks me back in.

there aren't many times when I text him
to bring me home a diet coke
if he wants to play donkey kong,
that he doesn't come through the door,
diet coke in hand.

there aren't many times
when we go to the movie
that he doesn't head straight for the popcorn
and ask for extra butter.

not many times at all.

a good quote

"never let a problem to be solved,
become more important than a person to be loved"

sorry, I forgot who this is from...
but I loved it.
It's a good thing to think about.

My Five:
1. My new cookbook. I'm cooking every night-which is a big change for me! Well one night is reserved for take-out. Good old Friday is pizza night. Anyway, check it out, it's "The Food Nanny Rescues Dinner" by Liz Edmunds. Love it. Thanks Heather.
2. My new key chain. It's a big, red, chunky heart.
3. A good nights sleep. No need for a nap today!
4. Shopping for Valentines.
5. Boys that love basketball.

pink

not the singer, the color.
I love pink.
It's my favorite color.
But you can't very well paint your bedroom pink.
Unless, I mean if you're six you can. We painted Jensyn's room pink.
Today I got out my pink plates for Valentines day for my plate rack.
I put Hershey's kisses with caramel in the red heart cups, on top of the pink plates.
Why am I sharing this?
Because it made me happy.

What will really make me happy, though, is in two weeks when I get my nails filled.
I will have the tips pink. For Valentines.
It will drive my sister crazy.
But it will make me happy.

My Five:
1. Something to think about that doesn't really matter. Let me ask you a question. Is white a color? I'd like to know what you think.
2. White chocolate covered pretzels, white chocolate covered strawberries. You get the idea.
3. (This is starting to be about white, it's supposed to be about PINK! Oh well.)
4. Coming across Jensyn's hospital picture. Shawn knew to have the nurse put a little pink bow on her sweet, little head. How could that have actually been almost seven years ago?
5. My mom helping me make yummy, yummy salsa and guacamole!
