Lincoln at the Links

Check out Lincoln with his new putter. We bought him some new clubs this week, it is hard to find good Left handed clubs but these ones are great for 2-4 year olds. We spent a couple mornings at the driving range putting into the hole and he cries when we have to leave. We also go to the soccer field near our home so he can practice his driver and iron and he is really hitting it hard and far even though the clubs are still a bit big for him. As much as he would like to he is not allowed to play with the driver or iron in the house. He hits it way too hard and I don't feel like fixing holes in sheet rock. Here he is putting this morning into a bucket we put in his toy room.

Claire Watching her first Baby Einstein

I don't think she really understands what she is watching but she paid attention for about five minutes.

Getting a little bored with this show. She really only wakes up for thirty minutes or so then it is back to sleep. She sleeps so much!
Yes her mom is feeding her well. Take a look at that belly hanging out.

Utah Trip

Here is Lincoln hanging out in St George with My sister Stephanie's kids Ethan and Grant. They are watching Mickey Mouse Sports. We were hoping they would fall asleep while we hung out upstairs watching the Bachelor but no luck. 
Beautiful girl at the Salt Lake Temple. 
Grandpa Gibson lives in West Jordan. We visited him and he is sooooo fun with Lincoln. He had so many games and Lincoln did not want to ever leave.

Overall we had a fantastic 6 weeks parental leave going to Alaska and Utah. I was telling Leslie we need to have another baby soon so we can get some more vacation!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!


On Saturday night Lincoln and went to the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball game for fathers day. We had a great time. For the first thirty minutes Lincoln just stared at everything and it was fun to watch all of his senses seeing, hearing touching, and tasting (italian sausage, ice cream) experiencing new things. We were on the fourth row down the left field line and a ball was hit high into the air toward us. Lincoln's chair was one of those folding chairs and his legs were not quite heavy enough to keep it from folding up causing him to get squished a little and fall through so I kept my leg on his chair. When I saw that ball coming I forgot about Lincoln and stood up and reached for the ball but it was just a little out of reach and landed two rows behind us. I turned around in disappointment and looked at Lincoln to see if he like that and he was stuck in the crack of the chair squirming to get out. But he thought it was so cool to see the ball flying so far.

I have not been to many games in my life but for some reason every time I go Randy Johnson is pitching. I went to a game with my father in Seattle and Randy was starting for the Mariners, I have been to five Dbacks games in arizona and Randy has pitched for three of them, including a spring training game in Mesa. The weirdest one was when I was in New York with Jeff and Matt Sanchez we went to a yankees white sox game and Randy was pitching. Strange coincidence. 

Yes I know the hat is funny....It was a free hat they gave at the front door.

Why does it have to be called BLOG? Weird.

Can't believe I am doing this but here we go. Here is our family's blog that I will update hopefully often. I usually send emails with pictures and video's, I have realized I enjoy viewing other people's blogs so I will do the same. Sorry but I usually like to tell stories and may write more than you want to read so you can skip my reading if you would like. I am new at this so it might not be the best blog but here we go!
