Seahawks victory and smashed peas

 Dylan running the obstacle course while we were waiting for the Seahawks game to start. Dad gave Shane and I the tickets but through some unfortunate events (for him) Shane wasn't able to go and I got to take my favorite 5 1/2 year old. We don't get to do to much with just us anymore so this was extra special.
 "Whew Mom, I was running all over, I'm tired now." I guess I need to set one of these up in my yard when he starts getting hyper...
 Dylan hanging out. It got down to about 35 degrees that night in Seattle, but the Seahawks managed to win against the Rams and are now in the playoffs. It was pretty awesome to be there for it.
 Lincoln has started having baby cereal and some light colored fruits and squash, but this was his first experience with peas. Monday was his half birthday, he's already lived 6 months of his life, so hard to believe!
 He's probably thinking "Do you have to have that camera in my face all the time?"
Lincoln is very independent, or just wants everything in his mouth at all times :) Well it looks like his eyes are going to stay blue (secret yay on my end!)

  1. I'm glad you guys got to go and have a good game to watch. That obstacle course would be great for him! Get him ready for Pop Warner or Peewee football early on!

    Linc is growing so quickly. I wish I could see him more... :^(

Keeping up with the Sadlers

Lincoln favorite new past time, listen closely for "Dada"  Dylan had cowboy day at school and could dress up and meet "real cowboys". We live in a hick town and his school was having an assembly about the cowboy way , or having character. Yes, Lincoln's bib is purplish, but it says I Love my Sister so it's ok :)  Cute big boy outfit Auntie Jackie got Lincoln, while sticking out his tongue. I think it looks like a little pickle. Weird, another tongue shot, he does it a lot. While playing with a plush orange (like the fruit) it sort of landed like this and I thought it looked a little like a bikini top and snapped a pic. Hey you have to have fun with life right?

Soaking it all In

Because I have a bad habit of zoning out when the tv is on, I've turned it off and told myself it can't come on until a rerun of a show I wanted to see comes on at 11. I can't stay up late so I'm trying to watch shows that will rerun, which is most of them outside of the basic cable channels. So obviously instead of working on my homework about Intercultural Crossings in Indian Music while Lincoln is taking a nap, I'm on here updating you on the trivial matters of my day. A friend told me an interesting revelation the other day. "When you have a child that is an infant you are the most physically exhausted. When you have a child that is just entering school aged you are the most mentally exhausted. When you have a teenager you are the most emotionally exhausted." So the way I see it, since I have one in each category I'm basically the most exhausted I'm going to get and since I'm seeming to do ok, it's only going to get easier from here. Y...

New Moves

So I officially started feeling the baby moving around this week, Tuesday to be exact, and now I feel dancing all the time. It's pretty weird because it has been so long since I've housed a fetus and I know no one else can feel it from the outside, but it's really real. The picture I took on the left shows me holding a photo of a 17week baby to scale. It's hard to imagine something that big is fitting inside of me already :) We had the "Mom" talk today inside the Dollar Store. Danielle asked me if it was ok if she could call me Mom. She says I treat her the way a mom should treat her daughter and that made me so proud. I am so glad that even though we have our daily and weekly ups and downs that our family unit is really coming together.
