These are some photos from Jon's graduation from BYU. I am so proud of his accomplishment. I am so grateful for the fact that he knows what he wants to do for a career and he's willing to do what it takes to get it. He's got four more years left of dental school, and then possibly another 2 years to specialize. I am so proud of him for his perserverance. He is such an amazing man. He is all I have ever dreamed for. He does so much good, I am honored to be his wife. Good job Pookie!

Lincoln with all his fun, different facial expressions! He's doing so well right now. He eats and sleeps like a champ. He's working on cutting his upper teeth right now. He loves to say "da da". It's so sweet, but we don't think he associates that word with Jon yet. Still tons of fun!

Lincoln eating homemade mashed up banana baby food for the first time. He absolutely loved it! He's such a good eater, it amazes me. He's really good at opening his mouth wide enough and swallowing it. We have a lot of fun when it's solid food time. So far he will eat: avocado, banana, brown rice porrige, yogurt, pear, sweet potato, and apple juice. I've really enjoyed making preparing these from scratch for him. I'm using a great book to inform me on how to do it and it's been pretty simple. And yes, of course, he is still nursing.

 

 

This was the sweetest thing: my dad brought his dog w/ him to meet Lincoln and the second Lincoln saw the dog he started laughing uncontrollably! Oh it was so adorable. Luckily Kraig is a quick thinker and ran and got the video camera to record the comical scene. I can't wait to watch the video cuz Lincoln is laughing for minutes on end! :0)

My dad and sister got to meet Lincoln for the first time while we were out in California early March. It was so wonderful to have them come from far distances. We were so grateful that they made that sacrifice. Thanks guys!

 

Lincoln and his great-grandma Dolly. Every time he would look at her he would giggle. It was the cutest thing ever! You could tell that he sure warmed Dolly's heart with all the love.

 

Angie and Gabe are now pregnant, too! They're due in August. This will be so exciting to have 3 cousins born within one year of ea. other. I can't wait to find out if they will be having a boy or girl. Melinda is besides herself because it's her first grand-baby too!

 

Even the governor's mansion has a huge banner that says "Go Saints!". Jon and I got a big kick out of this!

 

Go LSU! Mike the Tiger taking a little snooze in his newly remodeled play pin. We were having the hardest time trying to get his attention. Finally, after 10 minutes we saw him move his paw! Did you know that at every home football game they drive him around the field. So fun for the fans, but poor kitty!

 

What a cute mini temple. Our friend Napoleon was sealed here at the Baton Rouge Louisiana Temple to his bride Alicia the last weekend we were there. We got to go to his reception and boogie down a bit. He and his wife looked smashing, the food was excellent, and the music was great. It was a lot of fun. Perfect timing!

 

I'm flying! Crash--bonk!

 

We love our little squeekers!

 

Caroline is pregnant with a little girl and doesn't she look great! Her and Mike are planning on naming her Dolly, after my grandmother. Dolly should be here right around my birthday. Hey Dolly, the 20th is an awesome day to be born :0)

 

Christmas galore! It was so wonderful being able to go to the South to spend time with Dorsey's mom's side. It had been two years since we had had the opportunity to see everyone. As you can see, it was a lot of fun!
