Wedding Joys

 Last weekend, we celebrated with Uncle Bryce and Auntie Kayla as they wed in Parker, SD. It was a gorgeous day and an event that pointed to Jesus. We were thankful to join in the party. Aliya was honored to be the flower girl and was confident and joyous most the day.
 She made a new friend, Alisha (one of the bridesmaids) and loved spending time with her throughout the day and evening.




 Of course, as any 4-year old would, she had her moments of hurt feelings, "ouies" and fatigue..mom and dad to the rescue.

 Ring pops to follow the ceremony were a hit! And full of sas!





 Following the festivities, we were able to spend time with the Kracht cousins and grandma and grandpa Kracht. Madison was able to meet her 4-H pigs and help clean their pen. Uncle Lucas tried to convince her to dig in with the pitchfork, but mom and dad persuaded her to let Uncle Lucas use the skid loader.

 It was such a joy to see 3-generations in the pig pen maneuvering the herd and learning about their diet.

 With such a big weekend, came much fatigue and much "sucking" by our favorite little girls, coupled with moments of silly deliriousness.
 Back at home, Aliya caught her first fish in the backyard pond. Daddy had to about drag her out there, but her mood quickly changed as he coined her the fish slayer!
 In Derrick's words, Madi and Aliya were having fun catching fish all night and along comes Breanne and tells them how to do it. That's our Beaver!
