July 2011 - The Trip

I took a trip to pick up my parents from Wyoming - we then went to Utah and then to Phoenix before heading home.
We were able to see Cowboy "Don"uts while in Wyoming - all I have to say is we have some hard workers in our family AND the kolaches were yummy!!
We had a very nice visit with my sister, Jenni and her husband, Brian in Utah - thanks for the great Birthday dinner!! And I was able to visit with my good friend Jen and her cute kids! Thanks for letting me drop by so early in the morning!
I didn't get my camera out in Phoenix so I don't have pictures from there but we had a good visit with my Aunt Lin and were able to have dinner at my cousin Erin's house with her boys! Thank you!!
Besides running out of gas in West Texas - yes, believe them when they say the gas stations are few and far between out there - the trip was good!
Thanks to everyone that made it happen!!

Trek 2011

So I know I'm really late but I finally found a picture of Ryan on the Trek that happened back in March. This is him with his "family". He had a good time and he said he'd really like to go on another! Maybe as a big brother...

EFY 2011

Dropped the boys off at EFY yesterday in San Antonio. They are going to have a GREAT time! I'm very excited for them.
The picture was taken right after they picked up there "stuff" while checking in - with their friend Spencer.

Dr. William Randall Lynn - "Dad" "Randy" "friend"

We are sad to report, Preston's father past away Saturday, May 28, 2011.
For those of you who may not have known, Randy was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer toward the end of last year. He was able to attend the wedding in March - it was difficult for him but he came with a cheerful spirit. He was a wonderful father who loved his children. He will be missed.
Fortunately, we know we will see Randy again and look forward to that day.
Please keep Preston & Tracy and Preston's family in your prayers as they deal with their loss.
Love to all.

Zoo, Ransom's 14th Birthday and Easter 2011

Michelle, Kylee, Penny & Jay all had plane tickets to come to Houston for Tracy & Preston's Wedding Reception - with all of the plans changing they came and we had time to go to the zoo instead!! We had a good time though you might wonder looking at the pictures.
Ransom's 14th Birthday was in April also - can't believe he's 14 - WOW!
We spent Easter with both sides of the family - it was nice to visit with everyone. Megan and her 2 girls, Jocelyn & Jalaina, were in town too. So glad we were able to have so many from out of town come visit - we're sorry you missed the reception but it was good to spend time together - THANK YOU!!

Texas Wedding Reception/Open House

And this is the reason to hire a photographer or at least ask someone to take pictures - didn't get nearly enough pictures of the people who came - didn't get pictures of decorations - didn't even get a good "formal" picture of the bride and groom. But I think everyone had a nice time. It was good to see people we haven't seen in a really long time and most importantly, I think the bride and groom were happy!!
Congratulations Preston and Tracy - we love you!!
