January and early February Pics...

Since you all mentioned you have missed my pictures ...here you go! I will post some of them from January and early February and will try harder to post more often! :)

Poppy's visit...

Teaching him how to play on his iTouch and how to give a thumbs up! :)


He sure loved having Poppy here for a few days! He was like Poppy's little shadow the whole time he was here!

Here are some from outside ...riding bikes, his tractor and playing dodge ball with Poppy!


Showing off his "Grrrr" face...


While Ash was in Europe for work he got to hop over to see his sister, Suzy and the kids for a couple of days in Ramallah! They were able to go to Jerusalem on that trip! Hopefully he will have time to upload all those pics soon for me to post! But I did get this one from Suzy of him with her, Mahdee. Hadi and Layah! They are growing up so fast!


While Ash was traveling for work, Lincoln and I of course hopped in the car and headed West to Texas! Here are some pics from our trip...

The first weekend we were there, Crystal and the kids came to visit for a night! The kids had a great, short visit!
Lincoln and Ethan playing on the porch...

Lincoln and Evan playing doctor/dress up...
We went to Fossil Rim (again)! Lincoln can't go to Ganny & Papa's without going there! I told my mom this year I was buying a membership because as many times in a year that we go, I need one! :) This time just Lincoln and I went! He felt all grown up sitting in the front seat! We even fed a giraffe through the sun-roof!

This first picture is just after the giraffe pulled his head back out of our sunroof! :) heehee!






It was so cold in Texas this trip, with very few warmer days, but on this day we took advantage of the warmer temps and headed to his favorite park there!






Porch Time and Trying To Roller Blade...




Fort Worth Science Museum, IMAX and the Fort Worth Stock Show with Papa...

It was Lincoln's first time at an IMAX and he loved it! We saw Animalopolis! Very cute!

As you can tell, Lincoln loves Dinosaurs!




Cowboy Lincoln at the Stock Show

We bought him this horn and had no idea the attention he was going to get from it! People would just stop, smile and clap! He wasn't just blowing it, it was like he was marching in a band or something! It was the most hilarious thing I've seen ...and so worth the $5! :) I wish we had put his hat on the ground, would have loved to seen how much money he could have made for it! :)



And we couldn't come home this trip without seeing a Tarleton State University basketball game! :) The girls were playing so we went to check them out! They played great and Lincoln had a blast! Not every college basketball game has a cowboy cheering section! :) Only in Texas!




And we were welcomed home with a great snowfall! We missed the ICE STORM because we were in Texas! :)

Here are a few from our day in the snow!

Nashville mini-vacation...

Ash had to go to Nashville this past weekend for a conference, so Lincoln and I tagged along!  Lincoln LOVES hotel rooms!  He gets so excited every time we check into one!  Is that bad? :)

Nashville was alot of fun!  We stayed at The Opryland Hotel and loved every minute of it!  Three atriums full of flowers, waterfalls, boat rides, restaurants and shopping, what's not to love!  I of course ...took lots of pictures!! :)

We got there really late Friday night and Lincoln didn't make it long in the car before falling asleep and sleeping almost all the way to Nashville!  

The view from our room balcony at night!

Breakfast in bed...

Hotel pictures...




On Saturday, we took Lincoln to Opry Mills mall.  We were there with the other 10,000 people doing their back to school shopping ...oh my, it was packed!

We went to Build-A-Bear for the first time!  We've walked through one before, but Lincoln didn't seem interested in it at the time.  This visit he enjoyed!  Lincoln made Mr. Panda!






On our last day there before heading home, we took a ride on the boat tour through the Delta Atrium at the hotel!  We really enjoyed ourselves!  It was a great ending to our weekend in Nashville!
