The new year

Ok so I am really really bad with this whole blog thing. Well since my last post Sean's parents came to visit twice. We went to Zions and to St. George. It was nice to visit with them. We miss them so much. My oldest sister, Jacove, and her wonderful family came down for the 4th of July. We spent one day at Zions and lit some fireworks off and had a good visit. Around Thanksgiving and Christmas Scott, his wife Pepper and their cute kiddos. It was so nice to have a day to spend with them. We had an amazing Christmas with my side of the family, all of us kids and our families were able to make it out to my parents house.

Sean has been doing well. He still has a looooong drive to work. We had to sell our 4runner and buy a little civic to help with gas expenses which has saved us a bundle. He is just working and playing around with his guns. He likes to go shooting with our brother-in-law AJ on the weekends when they get a chance. He has been doing well at work getting a lot of praise for his awesome attitude and for his new ideas to help the farm out. I am so thankful for his hard work to keep our family going.

I have picked put more hours at work which has been a blessing financially for us, but it is hard for me to be gone from my boys more. I only work three days and am so so so blessed to have my mom and my little sister able to watch my kids, so we don't have to do the day care thing. I am just working and taking care of my beautiful boys. I ran two 5k's this summer with my little sister Christine and I did pretty well, and by that I mean I wasn't last place. I am so proud of my accomplishments. With all the holiday hubbub I have quit running and need to start again.

Also this past year Lincoln got tubes put in his ears and has started speech therapy. He is doing really well with his speech, listening and all around a more calm kid. He is such a sweetheart and I could not have asked for a more amazing child. He is just so sweet and caring, an all around selfless child. He loves to play with our dog Miley, or torment her by chasing her around the house. He loves to call coyotes with his Grandpa Worthen. My dad took him out on the rhino and he stoped to call some coyotes in and Lincoln hopped down and started to howl along. My dad said that he couldn't get any to call back because Linc just kept howling.

Eli is our crazy red head. He is a little fire cracker, and full of jumping beans. He always has a hop in his step, and he never just sits still. He has this giggle that he does when he likes something or he is about to get candy from Grandpa Worthen. He loves my mom more than me I thinks sometimes. He loves spending time with her and never cares when I have to leave. He say "Bye, eee you mama" and blows me a kiss and is off to play with Grandpa Worthen. He also loves my Granny very very much. He is very protective of her and gets mad if she doesn't pick him up right when she gets in the room. He has such a funny personality. He is always making us laugh. He loves to sing and dance. This morning I heard him singing the abc's. I feel very blessed to have such sweet boys and would never change anything about them being so close. It is hard at times, but so wonderful the rest of the time. They play so well together, even after they get into wrestling matches.

That is the run down of the past year. I am going to be better at updating, since we now have internet.

Grandpa and Lincoln

This Easter we went to my Uncle's house in Kanab, UT. We go out to the sand dunes and ride 4 wheelers, play baseball games, other silly things and eat. We enjoy spending time with everyone just visiting and relaxing. Lincoln loved playing in the sand. He ran all day long, I thought for sure he would fall asleep on the way home, but he stayed awake and jabbered the whole way home to Cedar. Eli was not a big fan of the wind blowing he spent the whole day being passes around, which he didn't mind as long as he was being held. Our good friend Joseph came and spent the weekend with us, so he got to meet my crazy family. I am greatful for my family and friends and also for our Savior Jesus Christ and all that he did for us. We hope you all had a wonderful Easter too!

Lincoln coloring Easter eggs with his dad. I think he got more color on his legs and the counter than the eggs. He had a lot of fun! Eli pooped out and slept while this craziness was going on.

Christman 2009

We didn't do much for Christmas this year. My parents were supposed to go to Denver to be with my sister's and brother's family. Unfortunately my Mom got sick with bronchial pneumonia so they had to stay home this year. Which was nice for us tho. We just had a quiet day it was so nice. Lincoln loved all his presants. Eli didn't really care ;o) We are very thankful that Sean and I both have a job in this economy. Sean is such a wonderful husband who is willing to work at a job which is not what he wants to be doing. Hopefully the economy will pick back up soon so he can go back to being a auto mechanic. Our family is so blessed and are so lucky to have two such wonderful boys.

Ewan and Noah being silly!

Eli's blessing day.

This year my family was able to get together for the first time in 3 years. It was so fun to have everyone together for the Holiday! We were also able to bless Eli and Jocelyn together. It was a wonderful time. We love family and it is so wonderful to have the love and support of family.

Ewan and Lincoln

Here is Ewan (my sister Jacove's boy) and Lincoln playing the piano together. Too cute!!! Cousin love! :o)

Halloween

Lincoln was a skunk for Halloween this year. Grandma Worthen made him his very cute skunk costume! He was so excited to have people put things in his bucket. He went with my grandma, his Granny, to her neighbors house. He was the cutest thing to watch! Eli was going to be a zebra but it was too cold to take a two week old out, so he stayed at home with Grandpa and Grandma Worthen.
