Lincoln's Birthday

Since we are all quarantined we decided to get out together into the woods and breathe some fresh air.  We just went a little ways out of town toward Arco and drove four wheelers around.  It was nice to get out of the house and watch the kids giggle together.  These girls are having more and more fun together as they get older.  I feel so thankful for them.

Also thankful for this boy who just rolls with it.  We only had to save his life about 100 times walking through these cracked lava rocks.  AH!  

So blessed to have this family!  Glad they are patient with me while I set the camera up for a picture like this. :)  One day they will thank me.  They truly are everything to me.

Monday we decided to get out again and this time go to Twin Bridges campground.  Dustin built us a fire and the girls had fun riding the four wheelers around the campground since nobody was there.  It was a good place to practice driving.  It was Lincoln's birthday so since EVERYTHING in town was shut down due to coronavirus we let him pick:  stay home or ride four wheelers. :)  

He's a trooper!  He had fun getting outside and getting his brand new shoes dirty.  

His favorite presents were the Ryan surprise egg and the brand new bike grandma and grandpa left on the doorstep for him.

And he had his "pancakes with a candle in it" breakfast. 

The girls stayed up late decorating for his birthday and setting up a scavenger hunt for him to find his gifts.  They could hardly contain themselves with the excitement they felt and I was so happy to watch them serving their brother. 

*Lincoln is the most laid back kid.  

*He loves to be the center of attention and make people laugh.

*He loves his sisters and can easily be convinced to do just about anything 

they would like him to do for them.  Especially if they bribe him that they will play with him or he can hang out with them and their friends.

*He's especially obsessed with touching Grace's cheeks.  Sometimes he gets a bit crazy and smacks her cheeks or squeezes her.  He just loves her.

*He loves to play electronics and his current favorite is Xbox Lego Marvel game.  

*He's a smartie pants and does very well in school.

*He loves to ride his bike and play with friends.

*His favorite friend right now is Grant Elder who lives right by us.

*He's lost 3 teeth already.

*He is probably the most loved little boy in the whole world with 4 sisters and a mom and dad who are all just absolutely smitten by him.  Nobody could take his place, he's our only Lincoln boy and we love him!!
