Hellooo out there! So this last little bit of our lives has been very crazy so I will do one big giant long update. First we went to Flaming Gorge, it was a blast, Lincoln loves to boat! He is just like his daddy, every time we got on the boat he went strait to sleep, in fact at one point he wouldn't stop crying so I just walked him down to the boat and we just sat there until he fell asleep! This was our fist experience camping with a baby and might I suggest do as Brad's parents do, reserve two campsites far away from each other and make people with baby's stay in one and people with out baby's stay in the other. Link didn't sleep well at all and it was so stinking dark I had to turn on a flashlight to get up with him every time he cryed so that woke him up even more. Luckily we had drunks for neighbors so no one but Brad and I really missed out on too much sleep. We took our 25 dollar jogging stroller that we got from the neighbor and I'm really glad we did, we used it to push Link back and forth from camp to the boat, and from the baby free camp (lucky people) to the non baby free camp, which by the way was only us. The truth about Flaming Gorge is I love it! It is my favorite vacation by far and if I could I would live there. So thanks Grandma and Grandpa Burns for taking us every year.





Next important thing that happened ....... Lincoln turned 6 months old so that meant that on July 31'st (also my mom's birthday, I know I always give the best presents) we went to court to have the adoption finalized. It was sweet! I honestly don't remember much of what was said, but the Judge gave us a DVD of the whole 20 minutes or so, so we can watch it anytime we want to, as long as I don't lose it. I can't believe how relived it was to walk out of there and know that no matter what no one can take my baby away now. If you ask me though Lincoln kind of got the short end of the stick look who he is stuck with now! Ha Ha! After court we had a huge Ice Cream party in our backyard, lot's of friends and family came and it was really nice to just hang and celebrate.




Soooo after that we went to the Temple, we went to the Jordan River Temple on the 9th of August, and it was amazing. We were sealed by the same guy that did Brad's Grandpa's second marriage a few years ago, and this guy has know Brad for a very long time so it was a very personal sealing. Afterwards we took the cutest pic's and as soon as I get those I will post them. Oh and I got Lincoln the cutest white tux, but it was made in China so it the leg's were too long and too skinny for my chunky 23 pound 6 month old. So my mom got to resew them but it turned out really cute.



In other news I went back to work, I'm working at the same old place again, Copper Hills Youth Center, with the same old creepy sex-offenders. Hopefully we get enough money saved up that I can quit again soon for good. That's about it I will try my hardest to keep this updated so I don't have to do really long post's again.
