Sam's Wedding

Life has been so crazy lately and I feel busier than I ever have been! When I started this blog, my goal was to post at least once a week. There isn't always "events" to post about, so I thought it was a good goal that would give me some time to post my thoughts or memories about the kids or just life in general on the weeks when we didn't have anything going. I really wanted the kids to have some sort of record of their life and, heaven forbid, anything ever happen to me, they would have another way to know me. I love to keep in touch with all of you and I love blogging for that reason, but I realized that unless you share your memories or record them, when you die, so do your memories. Morbid, maybe, but true. So, thanks for checking in and leaving your comments. It makes it more fun for me to blog right now. It will be years before my kids really care if I blog or not! Haha! Anyway, so here I am needing to post, but way short on time. So, if I'm boring or short... just enjoy the pictures! :-)

Jason's brother, Sam, got married last week! We are so happy for him and his new wife, Mindy! She is absolutely perfect for him and we just love her!

I had to add these pictures from the car ride up! (That is always half of the adventure!) The kids are SO sweet with Ashlyn. She LOVES puppies, so Lauren put a puppy game on her Nintendo DS and let Ashlyn play with it for part of the ride. It was really sweet and you can tell from her smile how happy it made her...Lauren loves to get dressed up and be girly! I was running a little late, so we let her curlers set in the car. What a cutie!(Jason still needed a lot of help and because his hands are full of crutches, he can't carry anything! I think it has made me appreciate how much help he was before he broke his leg!)Sam and Mindy at the reception

Austin and Ashlyn have such a sweet relationship! Her adores her and she loves him! It is so sweet. Here is a picture of Austin dancing with Ashlyn. I'm sad I didn't get a good picture of it! She looks bored but I think I must have caught her in between expressions because she was so happy to be on the dance floor!
