Rodeo

 We live right by the rodeo grounds in our town.  Most years we don't go to the rodeo and have only been to the rodeo parade once, the year we moved here, 7 years ago.  This year we went to the rodeo parade with our good friends....

And Andrew and I actually got to go to the rodeo...

 We live so close that we walked :-)  We had so much fun with our new friends, the Gossens!  Thanks friends!

Twins!

My sister had her twins on September 2nd!  She was induced in the morning and we were so excited to hear the names of the girls and meet their sweet faces....

The night before she had them.

Emery Lynn

Proud Uncle Andrew

Ellie Mae

So excited to watch these two grow.  Love them!

Summer Lovin'

Here are some random pictures from the rest of the summer.

We enjoyed spending the day at Dad and Mom Wiese's to spend time with Ben and Sherry...

Joel and Tori were back for the summer so we got to see them at the Rush's before they left to go back...

Love these girls!

Oliver and Benjamin had so much fun together.

Love seeing our kids getting to hang out.

 We took Marie to the Sweet Corn Festival.  We enjoyed delicious food and the kiddos loved the rides...

 We enjoyed a lot of fires and roasting marshmallows.  Andrew and Oliver enjoyed camping in the backyard....

Such a busy fun summer!  We are so blessed.

Florida Mission Trip

The end of July we got to go on a mission trip to Florida again with the Jr. High youth group at our church.  Andrew got to lead the trip this time.  Ollie got to go with us again and enjoyed it a lot....
Beach time is always great....

Having fun with the girls...

We almost got to see the Blue Angels fly but it was too cloudy.  So we toured the museum instead...

Ollie got my phone...

 Our time ended with another beautiful day on the beach...

So fun to see God working and blessed to be apart of it.
