Where to Begin?? Arkansas, I guess.

So, been feeling overwhelmed by all the updating that needs to happen from this past month, two family vacations, wedding anniversary, lots of weekend activities and fun with friends. I'm having a hard time keeping up with blogging, emails and facebook....sheesh. When did life get so complicated? :) My solution has been to avoid it all, but that won't work for forever. So, here you go, pictures from our trip to Arkansas at the beginning of August. Only a month late!

On the road:
Uncle Derek sleeping and bubba NOT sleeping. Why is my child the only one that doesn't sleep in the car?

Asher and sweet cousin Azura giving hugs before bedtime

We went to Arkansas to celebrate my Grandma Leetch's 80th Birthday. She is an incredible wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, friend, counselor, mentor and woman of God. It was so special to celebrate her!
My grandma Leola with her daughters, my Aunt Deanna and my mom.
I love you, Grandma!
My awesome aunt Deanna...seriously, such an inspiration to me.
My Grandpa and Grandma Brokke also came in for the party and it was SO great to see them. They hadn't seen Asher since he was 2 months old so it was special for us all to be together. They are actually celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary TODAY...their lives and marriage are such a beautiful example of Christ and his love for us. What incredible people they are.
My beautiful Grandma Cathy!
Couldn't pass up the opportunity to get a family shot...
We also decided to take all-family pictures while we were there. Have I ever said how much I love my family? They are awesome.
Really, they are. :)
So, I'm gonna try and keep on top of this blogging thing a little better....I may even get in another post this week! No promises though. :)
