Lincoln is 11 months old!!! I can't believe that he is almost a year old. How time flies. He is so much fun. He loves to eat and eat and eat! He is also trying to keep up with his big brother, Alex. He watches everything that Alex does and so I can tell he is going to keep us on our toes. He is almost walking, he stands up all by himself and he is babbling up a storm. He is our "Mr. Smiley Pants Man" as Roland calls him because he is always smiling. Alex has decided that he wants to send him back to the hospital! I am hoping that this is a 4yr old phase, he will be four in November. If anyone can give me any advice on age 4 it'd be much appreciated. I thought that it was only the "terrible two's"? Compared to age 4, the terrible two's seem like a walk in the park. Our sweet little Alex can go from Angel to Devil in about 5 seconds! I have never seen anything like it, it amazes me. Most of the time he doesn't even know why he's freaking out in the first place! Oh and also, he started this whole thing, "I'm gonna make Lincoln disappear, Abra Kadabra......... he's gone!"

I was at Restoration Hardware today, because I go there almost everyday because of our house, but that's another blog! Anyways, they had a book there on Astrological signs and so I started to read a little about "Scorpions", that's what Alex and Lincoln are. It basically said that its easier to just give in than to try and fight them when it comes to something they want and I think that I have to agree! Poor Roland, he doesn't have a chance in a household of two Scorpions and a Taurus! By the way, Roland is a Pisces, so he is obviously the Peacemaker in this household!

Killer New House!.........NOT!

Ok, so they say if you can survive building a house that you can survive anything! I am not so sure about that. I feel like I am going to have a heartattack! Everyday that I go by the house there is something else that has gone wrong. For those of you who know that stories about my next door neighbor, well, they haven't gotten any better. In fact, our landscaper told us that the other day he swatted at one of the workers because his hand was too close to his property. I never thought that moving back to UT that I would end up living next to the neighbor from HELL!!!! Hopefully, he will calm down, but I doubt it. He is just someone who is miserable and needs to make others lives just as bad.

As far as the house goes, hopefully, it should be finished by the end of the month. At least that's what our builder is telling us. I hope to have everyone over as soon as its complete! One good thing, I have my Obama for President sign in my yard!!! First things first!

Politics!

I thought that this picture was a classic! Lincoln is watching CNN so intently, I guess that he is named Lincoln for a reason. Since the current election, I am obsessed with Politics! I am actually taking an interest for the first time and I am enthusiastic about it. I am a total "Obama Mama" all the way! I was so inspired by his speech last week that it made me want to go out and volunteer and I actually signed up! I think that everyone in my family thinks that I am a little nuts but that's OK. I feel proud that I am so involved and I care so much about the outcome. Its funny because when I ask Alex, "who's going to be the next President?", he will say, "Bama!" Maybe I have trained him to say that but he actually sat down and watched Obama speak! Now you no that he must be an amazing speaker if he can get a 3 yr old to sit still for more than 5 minutes.............. I talk to my Mom and tell her how excited I am about Obama and she says that Obama is for me like Kenedy was for her! I am excited that something so great is happening in my lifetime, this is definitely a memorable moment! GO OBAMA!!!!
