Beach Weddings Are Fun!

At the end of June, we headed down to San Destin for a family wedding.  It was Finley's second time at the beach and she loved it once again.  Here is our trip in pictures.

 We didn't have the best weather but playing in our beautiful condo was fun too.

When we did get to go to the beach, Finley loved being in the water.  

A sweet lady on the beach offered to take our "family" picture.  They do look like they could be our kids.

Finley loved eating the sand and playing with her cousins.

We took some family pictures after the beautiful wedding. 

 He was so excited to get to hold her.

 Sisters!

 

Her cousins wanted her to sit on their shoulders until they realized she would use their hair as a handle to hold on to.

 Finley's "silly" face her Gran taught her was in full force this week.  Here she is sharing it with her cousins.

And here she is being silly with her Gran.

We had such a great week!  Congrats to Haley and Dylan!

Da da dada...Da da dada...

Here comes the bride... All dressed in white... 

I remember singing this song as a child while I walked down the center of the playroom wearing a polyester princess dress to meet my pretend fiance at the altar...a.k.a. the fireplace.  Didn't you do that?  Maybe not.  I suppose only a family of 4 sisters would sing that while playing house and pretending to marry guys at least 15 years our senior.  What?  They were in the youth group at church when we were like 5 and we luuuvvved them!

Well last weekend, some school friends and I made a road-trip to central Illinois, the land of corn, soybeans, the covered bridge festival, and home of Dick Van Dyke!  Awesome, huh?  This is where our beautiful friend, Sarah Jo, married her prince charming, Jared.

It was so beautiful!  

The tables were themed as all the places they have visited in the world and where they hope to go together.  Each table also had a card for a specific anniversary year for the table members to decorate and fill out with well wishes.   Then Sarah Jo and Jared will open a card a year.  What a great idea!

Card from her Nashville friends!

All of you engaged ladies and gents out there should so steal this idea!  It was so fun and will be a blessing or a source of hilarity in some cases...wink...on each anniversary!

So glad I could be there to celebrate with you!

Instead of throwing birdseed or blowing bubbles, they released balloons on their exit with notes for the persons who find them to email them and let them know where they were found.

It was a crazy 6 hour adventure there and back, but I wouldn't have missed it!  You were beautiful, Sarah Jo!  Hope you are having a relaxing, wonderful honeymoon!  

Mr. and Mrs. Bouton

Copelan had fun at the game too... Running onto the field a couple of times in the middle of a play.  He can't wait to be out there himself.  

Brandon's brother, Wes, got married June 5th.  We are so excited to have Stephanie in the family!

Now for a garden update:  Its beginning to pour in!

I am going to be making some salsa this week for sure!

I am fighting bugs off these beauties like crazy!  If you have any ideas of how to keep bugs away please share!  I am trying to be organic but I might have to succumb to the Seven dust if nothing else works.  So please share your bug secrets!
