Trip Out West Part 1

Vance, Lincoln and I took a 5 day trip out west this past week. We felt like we did so much when we were there. We saw many friends but wish we had time to see even more. These pictures aren't in any particular order.

Lincoln is over a year younger than Jared, but he had a great time with this cousin. Above they are taking off all the magnets off of the fridge.

They sure had a good time together. I got to spend some time with my sisters, Kelsey and Ruth, and that was so fun.

Vance and I went back to the place where we had our first date, Sam Hawk, a Korean restaurant. Someone told us that they saw a picture of us there. We had forgotten that someone took our picture. We had lunch there this week and found the picture of us on our first date (October 14, 2008). It was laminated directly next to hundreds of other pictures so instead of asking them for it, we just took a picture of it. We are so thrilled to have this picture.

 We stayed with Vance's brother Scott, his wife, Rachel and their two children, Mason and Brynn. They were such sweet and generous hosts and we had fun staying with them. We got a picture of Mason and Lincoln, but couldn't get Lincoln to sit still! Mason was about to go to preschool that morning.

Vance's side of the family threw Lincoln a little birthday party with cupcakes and he got some new books! He actually ate the whole cupcake. Below, Lincoln is observing his Uncle Austin.

More pictures to come soon...
