Cousins!

Lincoln is all about his cousins. He is incredibly blessed to have so many! I was thrilled to tell him a couple weeks ago that we were going to meet MY cousins and their kids. I haven't seen some of my cousins since I was in high school, so our reunion in Tennessee was fantastic. We had beautiful weather, so all the kids got to play outside. When I say all the kids, there were 13!! Lincoln grabbed Danny's hand right away, and off they went to play. Drake did well for the 3 hour car drive each way. He didn't nap the entire day, so he past out on the way home.

Here's what the boys have been up to:

Lincoln is getting really good at writing and drawing. He does get frustrated when he can't get it right the first time.

I couldn't believe it when I asked him a math question and he gave me the answer right away. I asked him another subtraction question, and he answered it again. He was doing math in his head, and we have NEVER done it before. What?!?

Lincoln still loves to wear his super hero costumes and pj's everywhere. His best friend is Tristan, and he would eat mac and cheese everyday for lunch if he could. Angry Birds is his latest craze. He likes to play it on the ipad, draw the birds, and create "levels" out of legos.

Drake is still pretty much a monster! Now he yells at me like the goat from the doritos commercial, especially when he doesn't get what he wants or when I tell him it's time for bed.

He is saying more words. My favorite is when he says, "I know, I know, I know....elmo, ELMO!" He is going through a big elmo phase. He likes watching it, reading elmo books, and snuggling the huge elmo Aunt Terri gave Dave a long time ago.

Drake is getting his 2 year molars already, which means he will be turning 2 soon (gasp, my baby turning 2 just makes me want to cry!). Drake loves animals, especially dogs, and makes animal noises.

I snapped some shots of mom and the kids playing outside. They were having a great time with pool noodles and tricycles.
