Lincoln's First Run

Last weekend the Hauner/King clan participated in the Trolley Run. Scott, Tracy, Mike, Joni's brother Neil, and I all ran the regular Trolley run. Lincoln has "run" the the race last two years with me, but this year he entered on his own and did the Kid's Trolley Run. They even gave him a number! The "adult" race is 4 miles, but luckily they didn't make Lincoln run that far. Prior to the race, I gave him some advice on how to pace himself.

As you can see, he got a great start.  Even though it was cold that morning, he was a trooper and ran really fast.  It helped that he "carb loaded" prior to the race by eating an entire lemon poppyseed muffin.
At the finish line they gave him a blue ribbon.  Okay, this isn't *his* finish line, but it's a good photo!  His actual run was actually about 10 yards total.
I think that everyone that ran were happy with their finish times.  Hopefully this is the first of many Trolley Runs for Lincoln.

Day Labor

Scott had a lot of yard work to do this weekend, so he decided to hire some day labor to help out. As you can see, the guy we hired spent most of his day lazing by the tree with his "broken" mower.

Later the guy "supervised" while Scott mowed the side yard.

Check out Lincoln's awesome sun cap - Scott bought that for him last week. We had a great weekend with lots of nice weather. Later this week we'll post some photos from our yard.

This one's for the ladies

It's been awhile since our last post.  We've been busy with things.  Nothing special...just the day-to-day stuff that keeps you busy.  We're learning about the various plants/flowers that are coming up in our yard (we had no idea what Spring had in store for us because everything was dormant when we moved in).  We're also getting ready for the Trolley Run (Lincoln too) at the end of April.

Anyway, since it's been awhile, here's a quick picture to keep Lincoln's fan club occupied for a few days.  I'm not sure if a double-wide is in Lincoln's future, but lately, he loves to roam the house shirtless.

Easter Recap (Part 2)

Here are some more photos from our Easter adventure at Grandma and Grandpa King's.  Lincoln spent some time bonding with "the boys" out in the wilderness (actually, this is right in front of the house).  What is difficult to see in the photo is the massive dropoff into a ravine directly behind them... 

Lincoln also spent some time with grandma playing with the magnetic letters on the fridge...

To prove that she can be just as "exciting" as the boys, though, Grandma also helped Lincoln test-ride a 4-wheeler at Scott's uncle's house on Easter (note the cool sunglasses from "great aunt" Janice).

Of course, we can't forget the "money shot" from Easter!  Lincoln was a little confused during the Loup City Easter-Egg Hunt ("you *want* me to pick stuff off the ground and eat it?"), but he managed to find some eggs for his basket.
