Just a couple of more gems from last February. Lincoln likes to close his eyes for pictures now. Why is that?

Last pictures from February 2013
Wisconsin trip- March 2013 continued...
Ruth Ann and Kelsey...
Me, Ruth, and Kelsey
Ruth, Kelsey, and Mom...
My incredible mother and me. I really do want to be just like her when I grow up:)
I can't leave Peter out!! I got a picture of him too. I can't believe he is just about to start his junior year of high school. He's the BABY of the family!!!!!
Trip to Wisconsin-March 2013
My little sister Ruth flew home for a few days in March so my other sister and I joined her at my parent's home in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It was fun!
Brushing our teeth together, just like old times. Awwww....
For a family home evening lesson, we reenacted the walking around Jericho story from the Bible.
Lincoln loves Jared. When I ask who his best friend is, he often responds "Jared!"
My sister Ruth with the two granddaughters, Lauren and Rosalie.
Lauren was introduced to the Johnny Jump-up and sure enjoyed it (still does:)
Lincoln and Jared at my grandparents home (Doral and Ida Kemper) and playing a game where they push against the other person's back.
Ruth played with the kids at the McDonald's playplace.
Little Rosalie playing by the shoes and the McDonald's.
Here is Lauren with Dad. I love having pictures that cross a couple of generations. These are two people I love very much. I love how involved my dad is as a grandfather. My kids love to get kisses on their eyes, a tradition that Kindt men have given their kids and grandkids for several generations.

Catchup from February/March 2013
I still have a lot of catching up to do! Here are some pictures from last March. The kids look so much different now but I still wanted to include some pictures and a few memories for the books.
Lauren above at 4 months. Such a sweet girl.
Lincoln loves to bake and cook with me. I let him help as much as I can. I think he's got chocolate on his face and dipping the chocolate spoon in the container of sugar.
On February 17, 2013 Vance gave Lauren a father's blessing at church. My dad, mom, and little brother Peter came into town to participate in the event. Thanks for coming guys!!
Above is Lauren dressed in her brothers old pajamas. Maybe she is sad she is dressed like a boy?
Lauren has always been such an easy, happy baby. At the beginning, we swaddled her all of the time. She loved it. Here we caught a big smile while laying in her bouncer while being swaddled.
Here is the picture after Lauren's baby blessing. Peter, Lincoln, my mom, my dad, and Lauren.
For my birthday I asked Vance to get me a double jogging stroller...and I did get one! He picked it out and it was just perfect. I have been using it so much this summer, it has definitely been a good investment. I love to be able to take both kids with me when I exercise outside. Our home is right near some beautiful wooded and shaded trails that go on for miles and miles. When I got the stroller, it was near the end of February, so I put it together and the kids and I tried it out inside our apartment.

More Old Pictures of Lincoln
More old pictures that I'm not sure I ever put on here. I believe they are all from last fall (2012) They aren't in any particular order, but they would be fun to keep.
Lincoln was in an Elmo craze, so I made an Elmo cake. I didn't trace anything or use a mold. I was so proud of myself and he loved it.
Lauren at two weeks old. I can't believe how much she has changed.
Here Lincoln is on my parents porch last summer. He's so much bigger now!!
Please excuse the mess. This was in our apartment...and the den was his playroom.
I think this picture was taken a couple of weeks before Lauren was born. This is the tiny park that was in our apartment complex. Oh how that boy still loves parks...
I would take soo many pictures of Lauren, and Lincoln wanted a picture too that day. His smile is contagious. We sure love him:)
This was from the summer of 2012. Lincoln still adores my mom. He calls her "Mema." He still pretends to call her on his pretend phones.
One day a couple of years ago my mom started singing a song to Lincoln while they were on the swing together. He loved swinging with her. This day his cousins Rosalie and Jared were on the swing too. Not sure why he gave the camera this look. Watch out!!
In the early spring of 2012, Vance and I took Lincoln to a train museum in St. Paul, Minnesota. We even got to ride a very old train.

New Home and Old Pictures
I have not blogged in nearly 5 months!! I have many excuses, such as looking for a home, preparing to move, moving, unpacking, the endless projects on our new home, and two cute kids that keep me so busy!
Occasionally I email myself pictures of my children that I think I want to keep. My inbox has nearly 300 emails that I haven't deleted, archived, sorted, etc, so I started going through them this afternoon. There are a couple of old pictures of Lincoln here that I took when we lived in Indiana over 1 1/2 years ago.
Above is Lincoln sometime in the winter before we moved from Indiana. He looked so cute in his first winter coat! My mom gave us this coat and the mittens he was wearing. The mittens didn't stay on long, though:) This was taken in front of our apartment building. Oh how I miss Indiana...
When we were living in Indiana, I took Lincoln monthly to the Children's Hospital in Indianapolis. Sometimes after our appointments, we would go find fun things to do in the big city. We went to the Indianapolis Children's Museum a few times. They are known to have the best and largest children's museum in the U.S/world...I can't remember. We stayed for hours and he wouldn't get tired of all the fun he was having.
In the coming months, I will try to be better about keeping this blog updated. One of the reasons I think I didn't blog much was because of my health. I had a newborn and a two year old and I was so tired and overwhelmed with the changes, but I stayed exhausted,, and I mean really tired. I was cranky, gaining weight despite amazing diet and exercise habits, etc. Then my vision started to get blurry and my ears were ringing most days. I knew I had to go to the doctor! Anyway, I have/had severe hypothyroidism. It is completely under control now...I just take a little pill each morning. I've lost all the weight, feel more energy, and am much happier. Thank heavens for medicine!
So we bought a house a few miles west of our apartment at the end of May, and LOVE it. We have a huge yard, lots of room and bedrooms inside, great neighborhood and neighbors. It is a little further out than I had originally wanted, but that is alright.
The driveway still needs to be resealed, the lawn needs to be fertilized again, the sump pump hose buried (this weekend!). The hostas had been split majorly and transplanted to the front, but I know they will look better next summer. Anyway, we have worked hard and still have a long way to go, but it has been great.
Lauren is nearly 9 months old now!! She crawls everywhere and is the most pleasant, content, and happy baby. She is so easy! She was in the 1st percentile for her weight for a while, but now I think she's catching up. When people used to see her for the first time, 99% of the time they'd comment on how tiny she was.
On the other hand, last week someone guessed if Lincoln was 4, 5, or 6? No, he's still 2:) Lincoln is becoming even more gentle with her. He has so much energy and we try to find lots of parks and ways to release that energy. He talks so much and his language has become more adult-like. I'll have to write down some of the funny things he is saying these days. Its fun to hear him talk and see how he views the world.
Vance is doing pretty well. He likes his job, finished up a year of early morning seminary teaching and ward mission leader in our last ward, and now is the Boy Scout Cub Leader for the Wolves in our new ward. This summer we had a family reunion in Utah, and just got back from the Kindt reunion in Wisconsin. More pictures to come!!
