Will You Be My V-A-L-E-N-T-I-N-E?!?

I forgot I took these cute pictures of my cute little valentines! I had to include these pix before February ended. These were taken just before Lincoln's little preschool. Since it was their Valentine's party day, he just had to wear a tie and a little squirt of Daddy's cologne!

Who couldn't/wouldn't just love these sweet little faces?!? Brandon and I are so lucky to squeeze and love and hold these little guys everyday! We just can't get enough.

Basketball Time!

About a month ago, ISU basketball played their long time rivals Weber State. Since Pop Watts is an alumni of WSU we called and asked if they would like to come watch a little basketball with us. Pop and Gramma were able to come for the weekend. We were so excited, the boys loved it! They thought it was great to have Pop and Gramma sleep at our house. We had a great time at the game and hanging out with Pop and Gramma. Thanks for coming! :)

Lincoln thought "Benny the Bangle" was so cool. He loved that
he got to go right up to him and say hello.

Once there was a snowman...

We've had some snowy days again and I've really been trying to embrace the snowy cold weather. Especially since I don't think my dream of living in a nice warm place again will come to pass (at least in the near future). Anyway, I realized that Lincoln had never made a snowman before! So we got all bundled up and went out and built a little snowman! We had so much fun making this little guy. Before he melted Lincoln and Grant were always so excited to go outside and say "hello" to their little friend.

Trauma!

It looks worse than it is!

About a month ago when I had just gotten the boys ready for bed, Lincoln thought it would be great to "tackle" little Grant. Grant of course can hold his own, but ran away from Lincoln to miss the tackle. Lincoln followed through even after Grant moved and still landed on the floor.

He immediately started crying and saying that he couldn't get up. I came over to see what happened and he was holding his arm still crying. I was concerned but thought he probably just landed on it wrong and that he would be okay. Just the week previous he hurt his other wrist somehow and when we started playing the next day he was just fine. However, this time he didn't sleep very well though the night, complaining about his arm. And the next day he was still "babying" his arm and complaining about it! I was starting to get a little worried and decided I better not be neglectful and take him to the doctor. The doctor ordered x-rays and put a splint on it just in case while we waited for the x-ray results.

Long story short, the results came back that his arm was fine, Lincoln slept through that night with the splint still on, and then "miraculously" the next day he was all better! :) Seriously, I am glad it wasn't broken or anything serious and it wasn't really too traumatic of an experience!
