Family gathering at the Farm

I know that my husband was inspired to make the family farm our project this summer. We were meant to work there and make it a place for our family to get together and just spend some quality time as a family. With everything that's been going on with my dad this year, there is no doubt, whatsoever that we were supposed to be there, pulling our family close together. It's been a great blessing in our lives and I'm so grateful for all of the memories that we've made there this year. I'm sure there are many more to come for all of us, I just don't know how many more, if any, we'll have up there with my dad. But for now, we have many, wonderful memories for all of us to look back on and enjoy. Here are some of my favorite pics from our family gathering in June. Down below is our dirt pile. It's one of the first places all of the kids love to go to play, dig and discover knew treasures. They love it! There's my cousin Marshall with his lovely wife Mandy trying to keep up with their son Maddox. He's full of energy! We love to have them around with us!

There's mom and Mandy and some of the little girls getting the table cleaned off so we can set out our spread. No one ever goes hungry when we all get together! See, there's Joe trying to eat the bean dip and chips without taking off his helmet, that takes too much time! Emma and Megan playing with the bubbles.

My dad, one of the greatest man on this earth! I love him so much! There's my brother Nate and his wife Ami just hanging out. Sierra, Karissa, Grace, Kaitlin and Marshall, hiding behind Kaitie, cooking hotdogs for dinner.

Amanda with Lily and Lily, just getting to know each other. Too cute! There's Maddox, figuring out what to do next. The Fam with the MacBeths, who are as close to family without being blood related as you can get!

Aubrin, Emmalee, Megan and Mariah eating dinner together. Such cute girls. There's my man Zander, what a stud! My beautiful niece Karissa, getting ready to chow down.

There's Joey...."How you doin'?" Sierra and Karissa coming back from a walk to escape all the little people that are running around. There's Marshall and Maddox coming back from a nice ride.




And this is one of my favorite pictures of all! My brother on Sierra's pit bike. There are no words.....the picture is enough!
