lots of catching up to do

**blogger is being annoying. the preview that i see shows that the spacing between my pics and comments are completely normal, but when i go to look at the actual post, everything is spaced way far out. i'm tired of trying to fix it. looks like it's gonna stay funky**

lots has been going on during the past month (in which i have been slacking majorly on my blog). let's dive right in.



lexi can (finally) sit up on her own! she's been working on it for a while, but can finally do it completely unsupported. she's also learned to go from sitting to lying down gracefully, so i don't have to worry about her bonking her head or anything.












we went to san antonio for our niece, hannah's, birthday party. she had a cooking party during which lincoln got his own apron- complete with spiderman decorations. he pretty much LOVED it.











we went to a really fun park in san antonio, where there was this giant rock. scott was the first one to climb on it. then, lincoln (suddenly and surprisingly) got brave and climbed all the way to the top by himself!!!













then, after watching his daddy do it, he jumped off. i also have n action shot of scott jumping like this (only scott jumped from the very top and lincoln jumped from about halfway up) but scott would not be pleased if i posted it :)










lexi will be crawling in no time! she can scoot and roll around pretty well and get to just about anything she has her eyes on. as soon as she figures out how to get her knees underneath her, she'll be moving! she currently crawls backward and doesn't seem all too happy about moving AWAY from stuff she wants!









we've gone on two four hour (one way) road trips in the past two weeks. we will be so glad to stay at home this weekend!
my aunt christi is out of remission (she has acute myeloid leukemia) and is going into the hospital for more chemotherapy in hopes that she can be in remission in time to get her scheduled bone marrow transplant in the middle of april. the fact that a donor has been found is reason for major celebration in spite of this recent setback in her road to recovery.
lincoln's school had spring break last week. it was a nice change from the normal, but i am totally ready for him to go back!!! we are both driving each other a little crazy!
he is so funny. he says the most random and hilarious things... on our drive to san antonio, i had just commented to scott how beautiful the scenery was. lincoln immediately said, "whoa! this place is pretty nifty!" i wish i could remember all of the funny things that he says. the boy has QUITE an imagination and every day he says or something (or some things) that crack me up. he is currently in the bath (a great way to waste half an hour during the day!) growling and making "fighting" noises. ah, boys.
dittos is over and was a huge success for me this year. i sold 95% of the stuff i took and ended up making twice as much as i spent! usually i spend more than i make, so it will be nice to have money put away for clothes and shoes i was unable to find at dittos.
i have a screaming child and hamburgers that are not cooking themselves... though i have more updates, i'm afraid this is it.
