Meet Lincoln Nathaniel

So I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing this phrase "he was a surprise baby" now I totally understand it, lol. Here is our last baby known as the Links, he was born August 15, 2016

him and Mason were born 15 months apart. He is now 7 months has one tooth that just came through, he crawls and sits up and is just adorable


Lincoln's labor was so rough, and even after I had him all I wanted to do was take my baby home to meet the rest of our clan and recover. Of course that was not easy either there was a huge fire in the Cajon Pass and we couldn't come straight home so we went to my Mom's house in Downey to wait it out, we spent one night and I felt horrible I missed my boys and I missed my house and I physically felt horrible. The next day we tried to come home and the freeway was still closed so we had an adventure going all the way around through big bear with a 3 day old. It was tough every bump and move hurt me so much but Lincoln was such a good baby no fussing or anything we stopped to change his diaper and feed him and that was it he slept the rest of the way we made it home after more than a few hours, and the boys finally met him it was such a special moment. Nothing beats being home with all my boys. I'm a very lucky Mom I know I am, even if life seems hard sometimes trying to juggle all my responsibilities I wouldn't change it for the world. I love the late nights and early mornings the soccer games and football talk. I love our plans to rule the desert with off road vehicles and the vision we all share of one day owning our own boat and vacation home. I love my boys, I love my life. It hasn't been easy God knows that but its so worth it. My boys are happy, their needs are met above and beyond, they are also extremely blessed. Ricky wants to give them the world, and I'm so happy we both are in agreement about that. Lincoln is our last child its something we talked about and agreed he had his surgery and its a done deal, looking back on the memories of all of the births and all of the pictures of them growing up (so glad I'm obsessed and take tons of pics) makes me sad that I wont be holding any more newborns makes me regret not living in the moment and being so caught up with everyday stuff. I want to try to stop and breathe and take it all in moment by moment. I want my boys to look back and know without a shadow of a doubt that I love them that they are the light of my eyes the reason for my existence. I'm lucky, I'm blessed.

Update ha two years later, clearly I'm horrible at this. Anywho here we go.                                         Damian He is now 16 and growing he just passed his written test at the DMV so he will be driving soon, Jesus help me. Im only worried because of those around him. He's very responsible and has a good head on his shoulders so Im sure he will be fine. He is finishing up his 10th grade year in H.S. He had his first girlfriend/heartbreak and it was a tough one, now that part kind of worries me because I know that first experience has made him not wanting to be in another relationship, obviously he is too young right now but I hope one day he will take it serious. Jayden was a sweet girl but apparently not the one for him. So for now he's on his own and we are all ok with that. Still doing football and loving it, he made the varsity team and he's so excited fo...

Happy Blogging

Today was super fun it was Damian's first school trip and it was so much fun, and best part was being able to go on the trip with him.We went to Boulder Creek Ranch (pumpkin patch)  I have to confess I'm such a big baby as we boarded the bus and were driving off I had to hold tears back, it just made me realize how fast my boys are growing. I can't believe he is going to be five next month. To see him being able to do stuff on his own and watch him have conversations with his friends is amazing. He is not a little baby anymore. (tear) Anyways, back to the trip he got to pick a very cute pumpkin and he tasted roasted pumpkin seeds, he also got to go on a hay ride and check out all the cool (smelly) horses, donkeys, chickens,goats and cats (weird huh). We ended the trip with lunch on the grass then back on the bus and off to school. Julian and Jacob stayed with "Tia Monica", a true godsend that cousin of mine! They had tons of fun playing with their new cat "He...

Boys bday party

Sorry for the back to back posts but I have so much to catch up with that I don't want to miss a single thing. We decided to have a joint party for the boys because it just made sense, the weather would be great and it would be one big party instead of three smaller ones, and it worked out perfectly. We had the party on 9/8/12 Jacob's actual 2nd bday (worked out nicely). We put lots of work into making this party a hit for the boys. I painted some of the stuff and even Jackie (Ricky's sister) helped out! She was the one to give me the idea on the centerpieces and they turned out adorable. There was even a car painting station that the kids enjoyed. So here are some of the pictures.
