The latest...

The kids are doing great! We have been having lots of fun. Audrey has gotten really funny lately.  Lincoln has found his mischievous side and likes to terrorize his sister. Life is always an adventure at our house!

New swimming goggles

Bear latch-hook rug I just finished for kids' room

We went to this park and had a FUN time! The alligator is a building with a gift shop inside. This little hole in the wall place ended up being a great spot for seeing gators. Audrey was really brave and held a baby alligator and snake.

World's Largest Alligator- he he he

Picture of the swamp. The green stuff on the water is called Duckweed.

Safari Todd feeding the gators.

We went on the JUNGLE SWAMP CRUISE!

The kids love to play with the keyboard.

That's right! Lincoln is walking. :)

I was doing laundry the other day and I came into my room to find Audrey "jumping for joying."

Tim is doing good with his schooling. He is enjoying the content and his clinical experiences. Just have to make it through the class work part. He starts finals next week. We are so excited to have another semester completed!

My baby turned one!

Lincoln celebrated his first birthday last week. Can't believe how fast this last year has gone! He is our little angel boy. He is always smiling and happy. We love him dearly!

Happy cake face!

Lincoln enjoying his birthday gifts!

The rest of the pix and video are random things of the kids.

Lincoln learned to rock from his big sister. He takes his rocking very seriously!

Playing "boat" together

Audrey's balloon tiger

Friends for long enough to take this picture



Audrey wanted nubbins in her hair like Aunt Molly (We love you Molly!)

Sea World and the kids

My parents came and visited us last week. We had such a fun time! We went to Sea World for two days... It was awesome!

Petting Sting Rays 

Killer Whale Show 



Pirates with a very large walrus 



I realized that it is very difficult to take pictures of underwater animals when you are not underwater yourself. I tried to capture a baby dolphin in this one. 

Looking at the baby dolphins.

I have to say that I was so engrossed with some of the aquariums that I forgot to take pictures. The shark exhibit was so cool! You walked through a clear tunnel underneath a gigantic tank of various sharks and sea creatures. It was truly incredible!

(We have unlimited tickets to Sea World for the rest of the year. If anyone wants to come we would be more than happy to go again)!





Audrey is a great helper in the kitchen. In fact, she loves to lick the sugar off the counter for me. :)

My kids are growing so fast. They are starting to play together. It has been so fun to watch Lincoln's personality start to come out. I can tell you that he is loud. I mean, REALLY LOUD! I have people stop me all the time in the store and tell me what a happy and loud little boy I have.

Audrey is big into letters. She knows almost all the capital and lower case letters now. We recently have started working on the sounds they make. She has such a great desire to learn!

Tim is plugging away with school. It is very intensive. We have recently found out that we will not get any breaks until graduation. Not even Christmas break. He will get the actual holidays off though. Hooray! For at least that.

I took Audrey to the BYU Ambassadors concert on Saturday. She LOVED it. There was lots of music, dancing and dresses. So, it was right up her alley. As a side note: I tried to endure the best I could. It was a lot too much for me...

Hope everyone that reads this, has a good day!

Audrey's Artwork - She informed me they were the following... Audrey Sad, Audrey Happy, and Mommy

Carseats make awesome obstacle courses.

Double boxes equal DOUBLE the fun!

Lincoln is pulling himself up to a standing position now. He is REALLY happy about it!

The other day Audrey dug out all her winter clothes and asked me to take her to the place with snow.

Audrey LOVED dying easter eggs! I think she did a really good job!

Mom took way too long getting his dinner ready...

Universal Studios and stuff

Tim had last week off for spring Break. We decided to go have some fun. We went to Universal Studios for two days and had a blast! The kids did a lot better than we thought they would. :)



We saw the Cat in the Hat. Audrey didn't want to get too close though...




RRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!




Spring is in bloom. Thought this tree was gorgeous!


They had a Dr Seuss area for little kids. We had a lot of fun there. We discovered that Audrey likes rides a lot more than we do.



Cool Carousel!


There was a lever inside this ride so you could chose when you wanted to go up and down. (Audrey had fun!!!). Needless to say, we got a bit wet!



Cool gadgets to explore.



We thought this was awesome! There were animals carved in the bushes all over.



Cool fountain/mountain thing. There was a restaurant inside.

Here is where the real fun began... at HARRY POTTER WORLD!!! This park was packed (as I am sure you can tell).


Hogwarts Castle


Some performers



Hogwarts Express



Hogsmeade



We had so much fun at Harry Potter World! We got to eat at the Three Broomsticks, had some Butterbeer, went to Honeydukes, ate a chocolate frog, and lots of other stuff. We got brave and went on the ride in the castle which was REALLY scarey. Moaning Myrtle came out while I was in the loo. It was just so well done. We had a blast!

For any Simpson's fans, here are some pix we got of the Simpson's area...




The ads for these items were in the windows of the Kwik-E-Mart. Tim loved it!

The following are just some random shots of the kids.






Lincoln is all boy and really likes his car.



Audrey falls asleep waiting for dinner sometimes. It makes a laugh really hard!
