Judy's wedding and Uncle Mike's Cabin

On September the 19th my aunt Judy was getting married in Virginia. So we set out Saturday morning with Papaw, Mamaw, and Miriam. We rode up to Va and picked up Jessica then headed to Uncle Mike's house. At his house we changed clothes and grabbed a bite to eat...because when you travel that's all you do. :) After that we headed to the wedding. It was held on the groom's brother's farm. Gorgeous! We got to see lots of family and friends. It was a great event. When we left there Uncle Mike wanted all the family to stop back by his place for supper (steak, chicken, and sausage). So we did. We ate a very good meal and then Uncle Mike showed Phillip the cabin and land that goes with it. Needless to say, after seeing the many deer and all the "hunting" land Phillip was in heaven and ready to go back! :) It was a wonderful trip and gave us a great opportunity to see everyone!

Weekend in Jacksonville, NC

We headed out on Friday morning about 7:30 for Jacksonville, NC. We went by Hardees, the gas station and we were on our way...or so we thought. We had been driving about 25 mins and Phillip said the car is smoking. So we pulled over on a very busy I-26. We let the car cool while he and Dennis tried to act like they knew something about cars. :) The we made it to the next exit and parked in an Ingles parking lot. While were waiting we enjoyed the many things from the gas station and hanging out! :) We finally got back on the road about 10:30 in Wendy and Doug's mini-van and made it to the place about 5:30...just in time for the rehearsal dinner. We enjoyed our time down there for Mickey and Heather's wedding. We got back about 2:30 and got up Sunday at 7:00 to head to Cherokee...it was a very eventful and tiring weekend! :)

Labor Day and Our First Guest

Labor day weekend was a very fun and eventful weekend! Saturday we had two lovely houseguests come to stay with us. (Sylvia and Monica, Dennis' girlfriend and her mother). We hung out around the house on Saturday and Sunday night playing games and talking. We also got to visit the wonderful Apple Festival and parade on Monday. Below are pictures for your viewing pleasure!

Papaw's 80th Birthday

We got together with the Mullinax family to celebrate Papaw's 80th birthday. We got to see some people we had not seen in quite some time and enjoy some food and games with them. There were still a few family members who couldn't make for one reason or another and we missed them greatly! I have truly been blessed with two wonderful grandfathers and I love celebrating with them!

Below are some photos from this wonderful occasion...
