Tubbin Time!

Maybe this is a good time to mention that one of my goals with this blog is to find pictures that I think will most embarrass Lincoln when he's in junior high and then post them to the Internet before he can do anything about it. And with that introduction, let the humiliation begin:


Lincoln had been eating a chocolate chip cookie, can you tell?

Lincoln Pics

These are just some pictures we've taken in the last little while.

This is Lincoln eating peas.






He much prefers pears...

Or rice crispy treats.

Sometimes you got to get some work done.
Lincoln likes to IM his Dad while he's at work.
He'd get more work done though if his mom would quit buggin him...

We're going to Disneyland!!!! (or went actually)

So, I haven't blogged for a while because I was afraid that I really couldn't live up to the awesomeness of the last post. That's my excuse anyway. That and we really don't take as many pictures as we should. So, we had a good excuse to take pictures over the last week while we where in California at Newport Beach and Disneyland. And so, here are some of the pictures:

Getting ready to take a little walk around the grounds in Newport:


Lincoln is really good at making raptor noises so, we thought we would try him out on some raw meat... Then I thought maybe I'd just feed him some licorice instead.


He liked it quite a bit.


We did wander down to the beach and Lincoln put his feet in the water so he has at least kind of been in the ocean. He's touched it anyway. If we ever need any sand from the beach there to prove we were there it's still all over the stroller so that's good...



The first thing we did when we went to Disneyland was go see Mickey. I believe Lincoln actually saw Mickey in real life before he ever saw him on TV.


The night before Angel and I had actually gone into the park for a few hours without Lincoln and we got him his mouse ears.


Since Lincoln is pretty much the cutest kid who ever lived of course he got plenty of complement and general comments about his cuteness. Then when you put the mouse ears on him the rate of comments raises dramatically. So, you can just imagine what happened when we sat down on a bench and brought him out like this... (I couldn't decide on one picture so you get all three.)




Lincoln really liked the bright colored rides like Winnie the Pooh but mostly I think he just liked all the attention and being carried around.

New camera...

So, I've been looking for a decent inexpensive digital camera to get Angel for her classroom. As it is our regular camera is always in her classroom which doesn't make it very easy to take pictures at home. But, we wanted a cheap one because her classroom pictures don't need to be super high quality and then we haven't lost much when a student drops/breaks/misplaces/steals the camera. So, a little while ago I found this camera on my favorite deal a day website www.woot.com for $20:



It's only 3MP and it has High School Musical junk on it but it was also only $20. The real value in the camera is this:



The camera has this awesome magic wand button on the back. When you press it there are a bunch of built in Disney stuff that you can superimpose into your picture.

Always wanted to be seen with Mickey but no cash to make the trip down to Disneyland?



Want the image of a hardened pirate without all the salt water, scurvy, and peg leg?




Want to yell and jump along with the cast of High School Musical? Save yourself all those psychiatrist bills resulting from unfulfilled stupid dreams!




Why spend all that money on real Mickey Mouse ears when you'll only wear them once to take a picture?



Be the super hero you've always wanted to be! (even if you don't know your wife is doing it)



Um... wear a wizard hat! (I couldn't come up with anything better off the top of my head)



So, after all that wonderful Disney, G rated wonderfulness and tomfoolery there is just one unfortunate twist to our story. A day or two after we received our new camera the same deal-a-day website that sold us our High School Musical camera offered this:



The same camera but, with Pirate of the Caribbean with Chinese characters instead of High School Musical on it. And to add insult to injury, not only was this camera infinitely cooler, it was also three dollars cheaper. Boo.

Anyway, here's the out takes and blooper reel of me doing Lincoln's photo shoot.




Now, some of you may be asking "instead of running to the kitchen and bringing a chair into Lincoln's room in order to climb onto the desk, wouldn't it have been easier to just set Lincoln on the floor in order to align the pictures at the proper distance?" My answer to you... yes, that would have been easier...

But, he's cute:

Some portraits

A little while ago we took a trip over to visit uncle Lee and get some good photographs of Lincoln taken. Lee is the one who took our wedding photos and he always does a phenomenal job. Here's a few good ones.










There was no commentary on the last post because I was holding Lincoln in one hand and posting pictures with the other. I don't like typing with one hand. This time there's no commentary on the pictures because I think they speak for themselves. He's a good looking kid.
