North Pole Experience

Lincoln got a special trip with Grandma and Grandpa Bullen to Greer, Arizona. Greer has a special portal that lets you travel to the North Pole, without ever Arizona.

Kids Inc Christmas Program 2011

This is one of those moments every parent dreams about.  It's the day you press the Santa t-shirts, charge the batteries, make sure the memory card is empty, pile into the car, and gather as a family at your kid's school for the annual Christmas program.  Ah, it's simply magical!

There n'ere is a better cookie than the one touched by the sound of children singing the carols of Christmas.

Dear Santa,

 

 

 

 

 

Mo-Hawk!

 Lincoln's hair grows so fast!!! I took him for a hair cut the week before Thanksgiving and 3 weeks later look how long it was.  Lincoln wanted a buzz cut this time, he doesn't like the squirt bottle in the morning to tame this mane...the buzz cut means more time for cereal.  Lincoln had a lot of fun posing for these.

This is pretty awesome....

Itty Bitty Ball

This fall, Lincoln started his career in organized sports.  We enrolled him in "Itty Bitty Ball" at the local YMCA hey! It's fun to play at the YMCA hey!  The idea is to introduce kids to several different sports.  So in about 7 weeks, Lincoln did basketball, soccer, and baseball.  While he did well with each one, he really did excellent at soccer.  This came as no surprise to us as Lincoln has been kicking stuff like a pro for like 3 years!  Unfortunately the camera was either battery-less or SD card-less on both soccer days. But hey, at least we have these gems:

Coach had them play red light green light while dribbling.  Lincoln felt it was a race so he ended up just chucking the ball way ahead of him so he could get to the coach first.  A little competitive no? 

Oliver got into some intense dribbling.  I'm thinking this little dude is gonna dig him some B-ball!

Lincoln's game face!

Oliver loved baseball, and this kid's got a wicked arm!

Coach makes 'em run hard!

Lincoln told us he was "Green Number 5".
