Wedding, Wood Getting, Wee One

It was a full weekend with everything from a wedding to wood getting to hanging out with all our family! We attend a wedding of someone who has been special to us since we met her when she was ten years old. Now, she's all grown up and married! She looked beautiful! We were all taken off guard for a moment when, instead of walking down the aisle with her dad, her dad picked her up and ran down the aisle with her! But then again, if you know her dad, it's not surprising that he would do something memorable.




After the wedding, we hung out with my mother-in-law for awhile, and we took her out to some delicious pizza, that's well worth the wait!! The nieces decided to spend the night at Grandma and Grandpa's with us on Saturday. We had a lot of fun with them, and ended up with one as our bunk mate. On Sunday morning, we went up to get a load of wood, and had one of the niece's tag along. The other went with Grandma and Grandpa and her mom in the SERVE SANDPOINT project that different area churches participated in around the community. They went out and weeded a garden and yard, while my brother-in-law joined a bunch of guys who cut up wood all day to give to others.

As you can see, we had a helping hand in getting our load of wood! Most of the time, we dodged the hornets that kept coming after us. The two of us also went for a little walk up the road, while my hubby was cutting up the wood, and we got to see Mountain Bluebirds, several swallows, and a lot of entertaining grasshoppers, also known as her 'little friends.'





As usual, the time with family was special. It was nice to spend some time with everyone, and it was nice to spend some extra time with the wee niece up in the woods.
