Getting up there!!

Happy Birthday to Lincoln today!! He will not admit that he is getting older. He is in his LATE twenties now. I still love you even if you are getting older!! :) Can you tell when these pictures where!! They are not in order. It seems that through the years its harder and harder to get a picture of Lincoln by himself. He always has someone in his arms or hanging off of him!! Maybe that's one of the reasons he is so great!
He is very funny!
He is Smart!
He is helpful!
He is hardworking.
Good looking in a Goatie!!
We had a party for Lincoln on Saturday. His Parents came to help celebrate along with his sister Sarah and her family!! We had a great time.
Madee created a pin the tail on the fish game that she drew all herself and had Lincoln and all of her cousin laughing and getting very dizzy as they were blindfolded and spun around. We are party animals!
No birthday would be complete without a picture of the cake! It wasn't suppose to look like a gold fish but it did end of that way. Thanks for celebrating with us everyone. Its definitely a change from the quiet birthdays we have previously had. Hope you have a great Birthday Lincoln..even if you are getting older!

Carving Time!

Madee and Sam were great helpers at carving the pumpkin we got. Great up until we actually had to pull the guts out!! Madee got a tiny bit on her fingers and had to wash it off straight away.
Sam had the most awesome face right here while he is taking his turn doing his one scoop of getting the guts out of the pumpkin. It was fun anyway. Madee drew a picture of what she wanted the face to look like and we made it happen.

Our Finished pumpkin!!

Claire Eats

Claire is almost five month and I think I waited until the other two were six but she seemed ready and so rice cereal here we come!
She is actually a pretty good eater!

Apple sauce..seven pints..Very tasty..first try..Didn't need to add anything to these sweet Jonagold apples. Not too much work and I am glad I tried it. I may still make a few more pints.

The Kids playing

Claire wants this pumpkin so badly!! She has started scooting her self all around the room.
Silly faces in the camera!!

Sam wanted to be in the pictures with Claire! Seems we take too may pictures of Claire and not enough of Sam!

Blueberry Pie

Here is what Madee thought of the pie!!
So I have made my fair share of pies but never thought to make blueberry. When my mom was here a little while back we went to a u-pick berry place and picked a bunch of blueberries. This pie was very tasty with fresh blueberries. So good.
Here is what Sam thought of it too!

Smiles

Ok so there was some requests for these pictures so here they are. A beautiful Smile from Claire.

Madee is soooo excited to take her first Ballet Class. She asks about it everyday she will be starting next tuesday and believe me it can't come soon enough.
