So lately it seems that my blog has been nothing but pictures...and lots of them! Its crazy because since the beginning of August (11 days ago) I have taken 421 pictures! We still have many more 'events' to take place before August is over so there will most likely be many more pictures to share.
I do have some silly stories tell but those take a bit more time for me to formulate into writing and I have just been too busy!
This past weekend was Joel and Michelle's wedding! After a week straight of rain and having to have the rehearsal inside our prayers were answered and the wedding day turned out to be BEAUTIFUL! The wedding went off without a hitch and was a great day. We enjoyed a few days of visiting with family that we don't see all that often. Josh's two brothers and their families were here and we all had a wonderful time catching up and getting to know each others children better. It was the first time that all of the cousins were in one place at the same time! Of course this led to eleventy billion pictures and as usual I am having a hard time deciding which ones to share..because I want to share them all!
I am now realizing that these have been uploaded in a somewhat radom order.. and I don't really feel like fixing it all.

Soulfest pictures!
We had a wonderful time at Soulfest! This year we had an amazing campsite that was very close to the stages. It made our lives a bit easier with less walking and we were able to go back to our site for dinner instead of buying it from all the super expensive vendors on the mountain. When it wasn't raining the weather was PERFECT! It wasn't overly hot. It was so comfortable. We had two monsoons that made things a bit difficult at times...but overall it was really really good.
The kids had a great time with the teenagers...Jessalyn thought she was one for the week and we got to hang out with our friends. We saw lots of awesome concerts....Toby Mac, Barlow Girl, Flyleaf, Jars of Clay....and MANY more. My favorite by far was Toby Mac..it always is. His drummer is my hero:)
The kids did awesome. They love camping. I was sure that Owen would take a dive into the pond that we were camping right next to..but he never even went near it. It turned out to not be a problem at all. Of course, everyone was on guard just in case! The kids and Josh did go swimming in the pond..but I didn't have my camera that day (silly me..left without it!) but I'm sure there will be pics eventually on Karole-Ann's blog.
I suppose I will just leave you with eleventy billion pics of our time there. I have something like 180 total...so I will try to pick and choose!
It was raining pretty hard at this point..
Owen didn't want to stay under and umbrella. He had a great time getting wet. He thought the tarps were a ginormous slip and slide.
This is me..doing what I LOVE to do. Holding a six week old baby. Holding a newborn is the most natural feeling for me. I could do it all day long. 
Sleepy Owen. 
He's about to fall asleep.
Sleeping..two seconds after
More sleeping kids. They really didn't sleep the whole time.
Sara!

Loving the firepit.
Luke and Owen...looking a whole lot alike these days!
Ok, so when I say alot of pictures I guess I meant ALOT of pictures! I couldn't help it!
