Family Reunion For Justin's Grandparents


A few weeks ago several of Justin's extended family members on his maternal grandfather's side of the family gathered together at one of the cousins' homes in my state. This cousin has a nice big backyard backyard so many of the relatives camped over the weekend right on his property. Most of them live out of state with at least 6 to 7 hours of travel.

Some cousins gathered round the fire pit.

There were a lot of little great-grandkids running around. Justin Grandma was so happy to see all her kids, grandkids and great-grandkids!

Sister and brother.

Some of the little kids were having water gun fights.

Too cute!

Justin broke out the giant bubble wands- always a big hit with kids of all ages. There was an audible gasp from the adults and kids when he started making bubbles.

I always love watching the little kids chase the bubbles.

One of the activities for the kids was the parachute games.

With my beautiful mother-in-law. She was recently in a car accident, please pray as she is still in some pain from the accident. She was not seriously hurt and it looks like the car is able to be repaired.

My handsome man.

It was nice to meet more of Justin's extended family that I haven't met yet. I also loved getting to hold a baby and talking with some of the cousins. 

The pictures don't even do justice to just how many people were there! My husband's extended family is HUGE!

Love, Rebecca

Double Date Night!


One of the nicest parts of having a married sibling is the opportunity for double dates together!
 We had dinner at our place and then took Collin and Sarah to our favorite park and an ice cream place.

Collin wanted a photo in front of the waterfalls.

Awwwwww

I'm so thankful that Sarah and I get along so well, I feel very blessed!

Group photo!
So cute...
Collin has a baby-bump?? Or too much candy? Hmmmmm

At the ice cream place. It's a local farm that makes their own ice cream and it is AMAZING.


Cows at the farm.

I also happened to see a little house sparrow guarding his little nest.


I'm so thankful that I have the opportunity to get together with my brother and his wife and I can't wait to have more adventures with them!

Rain Drops

During the rainy spell we had earlier this month Justin and I went to our favorite park to take photos.

We found this little caterpillar, I'm pretty sure it is a Gypsy Moth.

A tiny little Queen Anne's Lace

The sky light up the foliage

I can't describe how beautiful and green everything looked- and the smells! So refreshing!

Tiny little purple flowers!

There are a few waterfalls at this park and with all the recent rain they were extra pretty!

Rainy Weekend

In the first few days of June this year we had a few days of cold weather and rain. It was chilly enough to need a coat!

Justin being the goofball I love so much.

We visited a waterfall during those rainy days.


It was even colder near the waterfall. I was shivering by the time we left. I should've grabbed my coat!

We did get enough rain over those few days to see flash-flood warnings in the news. Even though we live by a major river we didn't have any problems with flooding. The rest of this month has been mostly sunny with a few rainy days.

What is your favorite weather? I personally appreciate a nice rainy day in the springtime. 

Love, Rebecca

Dad's 51st Birthday!

Last week we all got together at my parents' house to celebrate my dad's birthday!

Look how cute!

Molly is so chill and laid back.

Look at those beautiful eyes!

Jeremiah and Justin chatting together

Collin and Brandon playing catch.


My dad got himself a tractor for his birthday. 

Caleb said to me that it was "Dad's cool hot-rod,"

Dad has wanted a tractor for years, I'm glad he finally got one.

Coffee grinder and beans from Collin and Sarah.

Gift cards to Lowe's from Brandon, Justin and I.

A 'mushy' card from mom

Stephanie had to read it because my dad NEEDS glasses even though he doesn't think so....

Awww birthday hugs!

Some kitchenware

Time for birthday pie!

Mom made shoo-fly pie.

Look how tall Jeremiah is!

Yay!

My handsome little brother rockin' those cute dimples!

On our way home that night we passed a small fair so I snapped a photo of this Ferris wheel!


A BIG happy birthday to my dad and I hope you have many more to come!
