even further south!

After we (thankfully) left LA we drove down to San Diego to visit our friends. We went to dog beach, hung out with several AWESOME people, ate at some of our favorite restaurants, strolled around Balboa park, and stayed up too late! Lincoln was relentless with the pigeons (see above)!

It says "mom and dad love lincoln" but you know who destroyed mom!

yay dirt! and tall trees!

he is a professional cart pusher. the only items he intended to purchase were two boxes of cookies!

Down South!

This past weekend we visited my brother in LA and my dad, Ashley, and Jordan who had flown in for a visit. We went out to eat several times and went to Venice beach on Sunday. (fyi...Venice beach = nasty)!

Buried alive!

The cutest man ever!

pomme 2008

a couple of weeks ago, Lincoln and I flew with Cory to the great and humid state of Missouri! Josh wasn't able to go since he had to work the 4th of July event in Monterey. we visited our Meyerkord relatives in fully glory at Lake Pomme de Terre. we boated, jet-skied, wake-boarded, water skied, tubed, mega sliced, and swam. lincoln was really intrigued by all of this but couldn't help but fall asleep from the rocking boat. just below is a pic of him sleeping in his life jacket in the boat. when he was awake on the boat he wanted to watch whatever was going on but he didn't like the wind blowing in his face. i love being with family and was sad that josh wasn't there. lincoln walked down to the garage and waited at the closed door. when i caught up him he did the sign for dad and said "da" and pointed at the door. it was very adorable.
