Lincoln is Fulfilled

 So, before we moved here Lincoln would say multiple times a day: "We are going to move for Florida and we are going to bury my whole body in the sand at the lotion."  Translation: "We are going to move to Florida and bury his whole body in the sand at the ocean."  The boy loves to play in the dirt.  Today, his goal was achieved.  Although, he didn't really love having his whole body buried.

Porter just wanted to eat all the sand.  He was a good sport, but he wore his mama out.  8 month olds at the beach are work.

Hey, We Live in Florida

   So, yes, we did move to Florida.  We decided a couple weeks before we actually moved so I guess that would be why I didn't spread the word a little more.  Tyler is doing one more year of school (we all hope) at UF.  The boys and I are living it up ... or trying to figure out our new terrain.  We really like it so far and we have been doing lots of fun things.

A long, long way

It takes a long time to get from Idaho to Florida so we had some fun with it:

First, we took a train.

Then we tried a motorcycle (the whole family didn't really fit).

A boat.

We found a friendly dolphin once we hit the coast.

We even borrowed Elvis's car for a bit. 

Lincoln hardly noticed.

He was more interested in the trip once we got on another boat.

And even a friendly dinosaur gave us a lift. 

Remember How ...

 Remember how the last time I posted pictures of this cute baby was months ago?  Look at him now.  All grown up and driving.

He even rocks classy hats.

 Remember how summer is the best?

And speaking of memory ... I hadn't participated in this activity in 4 years until tonight.  Yup, that's me.  Apparently, my muscle memory is better than my actual memory.

This boy is being hilarious.  Here are some quotes from the past few hours:

(before going to bed last night, repeatedly pleading) "I don't love basketball, I don't love basketball"

Lincoln:  I had a bad dream last night.  Me:  Really?  I'm sorry.  What was it about?  Lincoln: Mickey Mouse  Tyler:  (cereal through nose)

Me: are you wearing basketball shorts?  Lincoln:  No, ABC shirt.

New Stroller

A couple weeks ago we got our new stroller. Hooray! This is the afternoon we got it and started putting it together. The excitement was so thick ...

... the boys could hardly contain themselves. But we have since been on lots of walks and even a couple bike rides. These 2 have been doing a great job while I push them all around town.

PS - Erica Holland, if you read this, I had to look closely to decide if you were the model on the box. About the same haircut you had when we lived in the dorms, plus the mom has twins ...

Also, these two are way cute together. (When can I start playing match-maker? Birth, right?)

I Really Like Hilary Jorgenson

(she uses great acronyms on her blog)

And look at Porter's eyes. He already knows to be wary of Lincoln.
