This weekend has been so fabulous.

I can only think that we would not be able to celebrate

such great times

with great people

if it weren't for those that have fought for our freedom,

the ones that still fight - who give their everything for us

and the ones that are no longer with us - that gave their lives for us.

We are grateful.

This weekend I was able to spend time with family and friends and I have a lot of pictures to go through and edit.

This one might be my favorite though.

I love watching cousins play and spend time together - especially when there are long distances between them.

I know how important it is to me and my cousins.  :)

We were lucky to celebrate the marriage of Lexi Christoules and Jason Chaput this weekend.  It was a wonderful

opportunity for the extended families to get together, spend time, and have fun.

Congratultions, Mr and Mrs Chaput!  You are a wonderful couple and we all wish you the very best.

Thank you, veterans and service men and women for allowing us to celebrate the love of the family.

Happy 4th of July everyone!

Be safe!
