double digits!

Lincoln turned ten last week. Ten. Double digits. How cool is that? He's become such a big kid, a young man. 

We celebrated his birthday with friends from school at one of the local public pools. The kids went from the slides, to the diving boards, to the lazy river, to the whirlpool and then did it all over again, stopping only when we made them to have pizza and brownies. It was a scorching 112 degrees (gotta love AZ!) so it makes sense that they wanted to be in the pool the whole time.

A major theme for Linc's birthday gifts this year was "baseball". He got a new bat and is currently shopping for a catcher's glove and catcher's gear for himself. He's gonna need a new bag to haul all of this gear around, too!

Super cute - Tigers and Diamondbacks catchers!

Linc chose to have his birthday dinner at Olive Garden.
As per usual, he chose a mint chocolate cake. 

Happy birthday, my sweet 10-year-old!
