Lincoln's Owie

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later! I actually figured we would have been here earlier than now!! Lincoln is Hell on wheels and he finally got his first set of stitches. He was pushing a truck down the driveway...when the truck got stuck and stopped, Lincoln didn't get the memo and went flying right over the truck and landed on his face! So, off to the ER we went and came home with 5 stitches on the inside of his upper lip. He was so brave and such a good boy at the hospital. A little crying, but mostly he cooperated and was a total champ! I was so proud of how well he handled it. So, next on the agenda is probably a broken bone.........

Meet Me In St. Louie, Louie!

We took the boys for a three day adventure to St. Louis!! It was absolutely awesome!! We had the best time...so good in fact that we plan to go back in the fall when it is cooler!! We went up into the Arch, of course. The tram ride up was just as much fun for the boys as seeing all the sights from way up there! We went to a place called City Museum. It was a total wonderland of things to do and see...and CLIMB!! The boys, Matt and I climbed our butts off in the outdoor jungle gym. It also had a ferris wheel!! We slid down giant slides, played on swinging ropes and enjoyed a soda in an old fashion soda station!! After all that fun it was a miracle that we had the energy, but we went to tour the Budweiser Factory and grounds. Gorgeous!! It was a great tour. We were able to see how the beer was made from start to finish and we even got to see the Clydesdales! The final day, we went to the Children's Museum called The Magic House. It was so totally hands on. The boys had so much fun, touching, building and pretending. We didn't even get through half of the museum before we had to go. Something else to put on the list for next time!!
