The Wedding!

On August 6th, our family celebrated the the marriage of my brother, Scott, and his new wife, Lindsey. It was a beautiful sunny day in Richmond, IN and the day could not have been more perfect for them. It is so hard for me to believe that my baby brother is now someone's husband. Scott and I are nine years apart in age and I can still clearly remember the day he came home from the hospital. I have watched him grow from that little baby to a young man that clearly knows he has met the love of his life. We were so excited to share in their special day and even more excited to welcome Lindsey into our family!

Maryn was pretty excited about being the flower girl! For the last month she has been asking, "when is the wedding?" I was not sure if she would make it down the aisle, but her and the ring bearer, Zach, did awesome!! I think she loved the attention :) The wedding ceremony was beautiful and special for Lindsey's family as it was the same church her parents were married in. The reception was held at J & J Winery and had a gorgeous outdoor setting. It was a little sticky outside, but thank goodness for a fairly steady breeze. It was quite the party, but the flower girl only made it till 8:30pm before she crashed in my mom's arms. While Theo was the party animal and up till 11:00pm!! It was a great time to see family and to celebrate with Scott and Lindsey :)

ready for the big day!

Daddy and his little flower girl

Jeremy captured so many great pictures of Maryn at the reception

I love this one!!

It was so special that Scott chose Brad to be his best man. Brad was all excited give his little speech and think by the end of it there were lots of teary eyes. So sweet!

cutting the cake

cake eating got just a little bit messy :)

Theo was such a trooper! He started the day in a tie, changed to shorts at the reception, and then by the end of the night was half naked :) Little party animal!!

Mr and Mrs Marcum!!

Theo is 9 months old!

Ok, so I have been horrible in posting Theo's month by month growth :( Don't be alarmed he doing just fine! I can hardly believe that our little guy is 9 months old already?! At his recent checkup, he weighed in at 19 lbs 5 oz and was 28 1/2 inches long. He loves to eat and usually throws a small fit when it is all gone. I love his two little teeth on the bottom and am quickly reminded they are there when he bites down on my finger. In the last couple weeks he has taken off with crawling. He still is doing more of an army crawl/roll thing, but it gets him where he needs to go! Theo loves to be on the floor playing with toys and is just recently trying to pull himself up to things.

If you've been around him much you know how easy going he can be. He is pretty happy most of the time :) One of my favorite times is when Theo and Maryn are together. She is so cute with him and he just laughs at her....to cute!

July 4th weekend!

We spent the July 4th weekend up at the lake. It was a beautiful weekend and we were really able to enjoy our time together...just the 4 of us. We did manage to catch up with friends while we were there too which was awesome. Enjoy!

Maryn was building sand castles when I took this

I think Theo was pretty excited about having his feet in the water!

Over the weekend we were able to see our friends the Beiers. We haven't seen them since November so it was great to catch up and see each others kids- they grow so quickly. Unfortunately the only picture I got was of Maryn and Tate in the water....sorry Scott, Lisa and Macy!

Sunset...gorgeous!

Watching fireworks out on the boat...Maryn did not care for the noise and Theo looks a little spooked over what was going on. His first 4th!!

Daddy and Theo

ready for a nap on the boat

eating watermelon on the 4th...so American!

June... you have flown by way too fast!!

June where did you go???? Unfortunately I did not capture much with the camera this month, but here are a few to sum up our month of June!

I love how much they love each other!

happy father's day to the best daddy in the world!!!!!

Hopscotch on the deck :)

best buddies!!

We took a picture of Maryn when she was about this age and it's one of my favorites...had to do the same with Theo. Love that smile!!

big kisses for her baby brother!

A couple days prior to this picture we celebrated our 10th anniversary. I cannot believe it has been 10 years! Each year has brought it's own new adventure and God has graciously guided us along the way through all the ups and downs. Jeremy is an amazing husband and father and I am so blessed to be his wife.
