good.

On Saturday we took Lincoln to Medieval Times. We had a blast as usual. We really go way to often, but Wyatt thought this would be the best present for his Dad. Lincoln was knighted, and has requested we all call him Sir Dad...(or Sir Lincoln) from now on! I love being married to a knight. =)

We cheered for the black and white knight, and he won (sort of, until he was hit in the back with a lance!). He kissed a flower and tossed it to Natalia! She was trilled. The story is a new one, so it was a nice change! Simone slept in the sling for the first part of the show, and then watched it with us. She never cried...who is this child? She is so happy now. I am so glad!



After we left Medieval Times we went to Books A Million to get Breaking Dawn, and a birthday book for Lincoln. As we were walking to the store I saw ONE book sitting on the stand in the front. I said "Lincoln, RUN!" He laughed at me...and we all walked. I was so excited to get the LAST copy in the store. I really think they had hundreds hidden behind the counter. They probably place one book at a time on the shelf so each woman that claimed that book as her own would overreact like I did. I would like to work at a book store just so I could do that to people.


Here are a few photos from the week.



Lincoln just got home from work. He was playing with the girls, and then realized he was now part of a photo session! Ha HA!






My new blue bed. I used to hate blue. Really, I hated it. It was my least favorite color. After I had Wyatt I started to love blue. It is slowly sneaking its way into my decor, and now it has taken over my bedroom.

We also got a sleep number bed for our anniversary. Do I love it? I have no idea! What is my sleep number? Your guess is as good as mine. I have tried 35....no. I tried 50....okay. I am trying 80...a little better. I guess I just need to sleep in it more.




The power went out....so we had ice cream sundaes for lunch. I know I could have made sandwiches, but now when ever the power goes out my kids will be excited instead of scared. The weather here is crazy. Tons of rain and thunderstorms. Wyatt is terrified, and it is starting to get on my nerves. If he sees ONE rain drop he starts hyperventilating, and whinning. If we are going out the door he says, "But what if it rains while we are gone? What will we do?". Seriously, he gets so worked up. I have told him every calm, sweet, wonderful answer....and I have been blunt too...."We'll get wet Wyatt!"

Do you see this lovely iron? Do you see it? Yep, that is lavender! Lincoln came home with my new iron and new ironing board. (I asked him just to get a new cover, but they didn't have the right size.) He said, "I am mad. I thought I bought the white one." I love it. I have never enjoyed ironing so much. So to all my friends that don't iron...you are ironing with the WRONG iron! =) The best part....automatic shut off. Oh, I didn't mention before, the previous iron was left on for OVER 30 hours. Lucky. Blessed. Whatever you want to call it.

I agree, not all blues are good blues! I love baby blue the most, the lighter the better.

Oh, and Lincoln didn't give Talia the flower the actual knight did. At Medieval Times the knights are given flowers to toss to the ladies in the crowd, if they win during a challenge. Our Knight was definitely to best of the evening! =)

The ice cream idea is wonderful! I have some cheap-o glow sticks for those occasions as well. Then we can turn it in to a "fun indoor campout" instead of freaking out and wondering if we'll all freeze to death or something.

Cute pictures of your kids. Sigh. Some day I'll learn how to handle a camera.

Medieval Times sounds like a blast! I'm glad you had so much fun! Are you finished with your new book? I just finished Twilight tonight and I think Travis will be happy to have me back. I'm just anxious to start #2! Your new bedspread is so pretty! How fun that you get to figure out your sleep #. It sounds a little bit tricky. Travis and I laughed when we read about Wyatt and the rain. He sounds just like Justin! Every little breeze means a tornado is coming...didn't you know? And I think I do have the wrong iron. Your family will have the best pressed clothes in town! Enjoy!

Kayelynn, I did finish my new book. I have mixed feeling about it, but overall it was good. It is too late to ask her to rewrite it? =) The first three are so good, you have to read the fourth to finish the story. There are somethings in the fourth that I wish were written differently.

Oh and a word of advice with the second. Read it when you have time to get through the first half quickly!! You will see what I mean when you get there.

WOW they changed the story at Medieval times? Hooray! Love the pictures, as always!! And now I have Iron Envy! What a pretty iron, I think I am going to get a new one when I get home, mine sucks, now that I used my dads Bently of irons, I feel the need to take a step up from my 1900's style. I think I will even go for the colored one, that sounds fun!
