May

May was a great month filled with lots of exciting milestones for our growing family!

1st up Lincoln turned 3 months old!
He is so darling that I can hardly stand it! He loves bath time. He is starting to coo and talk A LOT! But I really think his most favorite thing about his life is getting to watch his very busy big brothers play all around him!

Such sweet little smiles!

Also this month, Lincoln really started to grab at his toys amongst other things! It's so cute when babies figure out what their hands are actually for!

On May 11, 2013 Justin graduated from Idaho State University with a Minor in Business Administration and a  Bachelor's Degree in Health Science in Health care Administration!
It was great to have him go to his Commencement Ceremony! It was so traditional, and such a great achievement for Justin! We are so proud!
These boys! So incredible! They did great, and I was so happy that they got to see their dad graduate. He is such a great example to our little guys! Hopefully someday we'll all be together at their Commencement Ceremony!

So proud of this guy! He did so great supporting our family, as well as going through a tour to Iraq, and still getting a degree! What a hard worker!

That evening we had a little BBQ with family and friends to celebrate! We had hamburgers, hot dogs, banana bars, mini cheesecakes, and cute candy graduation hats!

Mother's Day was great. The boys got me a new blender (since I broke the one we had) and Aydan made me these sweet cards at school!

I just love being a mom! It is the greatest fulfillment!

Justin had to work on my birthday so the day before we decided to take the family to IJUMP!

For my birthday, with my birthday money I bought some new dishes! I LOVE them and we were in desperate need of them! My old ones were so chipped and half broken! We needed new glasses too! I love the jarred drinks that are all over Pinterest and decided to go with jars for glasses instead of actual glasses! Fun!

I also got a new bedspread for our bed. Traceon took a dry erase marker to our old one, and it looked disgusting, so I was happy to get something new! Yellow is such a friendly color too!

This little boy got his very first super hero shirt! I thought it was so fun!

On May 29th Justin got a call from a friend about a job opening at Promontory Point. On May 30th he was called in for an interview which he totally rocked, because on May 31st he was offered the job! Promontory Point is a rehabilitation facility for people that need physical therapy, or speech therapy after surgery or strokes. Justin is the Social Work Representative and is initially in charge of any Social Work problems, discharging patients, and the activities funding! Such a great opportunity and a great first job in his profession! Justin also got accepted by the state of Idaho for Administrator in Training Certification! It will take a full year to get certified, but after he is, he will be able to RUN any Long Term care facility!
