Ness and Ben: Footloose!

Footloose!

Lincoln is now walking! He began taking steps just before he turned 10 months old. Getting tubes threw off his balance for a few weeks but at 10.5 months he started walking more and more.

Lincoln is now 11 months old and walking everywhere, which means he gets into a lot more trouble. I am such a good mom I documented it on film. No really, I was just trying to get pictures of him walking and he fell into the toy bin. In my defense the second picture is blurry because I went to make sure he was ok. As you can see nobody was harmed in the making of these photos!

On September 11, 2010 we had a busy day. First we started our morning by running the Layton Classic 10k. It was so cold, I didn't plan to run with my long sleeves but I didn't want to freeze and since it appears I turn into a hunchback when I'm cold, it seemed like a good idea. I finished in 61 minutes. I had a goal of an hour. Who misses a goal by a minute? BLAH! It was a fun run and sure to be part of our running tradition.

AYSO started for Jayben. He has coach Ted. He is excited that he can spell his name! He is getting better at soccer but still doesn't have the natural instinct to the game like we had hoped.

Ben and I went on a date! I know a miracle. It just so happened that we got engaged 10 years ago and we just happened to leave our camera in the diaper bag after the soccer game and the sitter thought it was a good idea to take some pictures of the fun the kids were having.

Lincoln now has a best friend. Let's be honest though, what baby doesn't love it when they get ice cream?

2/17/11 Jayben was put on the naughty chair. And while serving his time he was humming the theme to Jeopardy. It was hilarious. But he still had to finish his time.

6/12/09 Jayben asked us to turn up the radio so he could hear the song and then said, "this song is pumping me up!"
6/1/09 Jayben was on the naughty chair and Ben was telling him that it was too late and he still had to sit on it. Jayben without hesitation starts singing 'It's too late to apologize, it's too late!"
5/30/09 after hitting his friend I asked Jayben why he did it and he said "Because, I told her to enjoy the movie, and she did not enjoy it."
