WV Wedding Weekend

I had the wonderful pleasure and honor of being the matron of honor in a very dear friend's wedding last weekend. We have been friends for a very long time (it all started with us sharing juice boxes in the first grade and me giving her chicken pox, but that's a whole other story. hehe). We had such a blast throughout the whole weekend. It was definitely a pick me up that I needed! Here are a bunch of pics from the weekend, but to see them all, look me up on Facebook and you can see the whole album! Enjoy!

This was the view from my front porch the morning I left for WV. Isn't God amazing?


The rehearsal

The rehearsal dinner was held at the Atha farm. I have so many great memories of this place. The decorations were beautiful. Karen's dad took us all on a hayride tour of the farm. It couldn't have been more perfect!
The flowers were amazing. It was cloudy that day, which made the colors seem even more vibrant.


The farm was absolutely beautiful!


Isn't this a cute birdhouse?


They renovated the upstairs of their barn for the rehearsal dinner. Isn't it beautiful?

Beauty

Psalm 27:4
"One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in his temple."

Soccer

Well,we're up and rolling with our new soccer season. The boys are so cute. The soccer field is close to a little airport, so of course every time a plane flies overhead they all stop and look up. The field is out in the middle of the country, and we pass the most beautiful farms and fields. Here is a great picture of the sunset one night after practice-we were right next to the soccer field.



Here are some great pics of the boys at practice.-enjoy!

Visit from Uncle Marc

In the middle of July, we had a visit with Michael's brother, Marc. He lives in Las Vegas, and we had not seen him in two years! Samuel was just an infant the last time he saw him! The visit was short, but it didn't take long for the boys to fall in love with their uncle. They were so sad to see him leave! Nathan ran back into the house on the day he left and wanted to pack his bag for the plane. Samuel cried and didn't want to say goodbye. We all said we hoped it would not be two more years till we saw him again! Here are some pictures of his visit.

They were so silly! All the boys wanted to do was wrestle!
