Wonderful Weekend

It started with Jessica's wedding. Saturday afternoon my beautiful cousin was married in a very touching ceremony. She was a gorgeous bride. The flowers lovely, the colors she chose looked so nice (brown and aqua), and everyone in the wedding party was glowing with pride. It was so wonderful to get together with so many members of our family. There was great food, awesome company, and to top it all off...a single lady at our table caught the bouquet when it was thrown....here's a hint on who it was....

Everyone had fun on the dance floor too....here's a photo snapped of my step-dad Scott trying his hand at the Macarena. If you know Scott, you know this wouldn't have been possible without the assistance of Ice Harbor Brewery's finest that was on tap last night. =) Not the best photo, but I knew I had to get a shot quickly before the "spectacle" ended.

Today was a very special day too. Pastor Martens (who is the pastor who married us) baptized Carson at Richland Lutheran Church. It was a beautiful baptism and Carson slept through the entire thing! I'd never seen a Lutheran baptism, so it was a new experience for me. It felt good to have my son be called "A Child of God". He is such a blessing and when I look at him I can't help but know there is a power greater than myself at work.

Afterward, Gwen took us (my sister included!) to lunch at Anthony's. Per usual, the food was wonderful. So was the company.

I don't have any photos of the baptism yet. Those will be posted soon. All pictures were taken on Grandma Gwen's camera.

After church, and lunch, and the late night before our very tired family came home and relaxed. Carson and I both napped, while Tayler and Brian watched a movie. I love weekends with my family.
