Lake Shower Fun

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been MIA...again.  Things have been crazy in June and July so I haven't taken the time to blog much.  Brett's football players reported yesterday (YAY!) so we are in the midst of football season now.

Anyway, in July, Brett and I were able to go to Ocean Isle to celebrate Sam and Maggie's engagement.  Brett's aunts and uncles hosted a lake shower for our wedding, and they did the same for Maggie and Sam.  The shower had a picnic theme.  Unfortunately, the lake had a whole bunch of rain the morning of the shower so we had to eat inside. By the end of the night though, it was drier so we were able to hang out on JoAnn's new deck in their backyard.

Since both Maggie and Sam grew up in the same town, a lot of Maggie's family was able to come to the shower.  Her family is a trip.  I love being around them.  And man, were there babies galore.  Brett's cousin Bryan and his wife Courtney brought their son Ethan; Will and Laura brought Laney; and Maggie's sister-in-love brought her daughter Lillian.  I have to say, they sort of stole a little bit of the show :)

At the end of the night, Will and Maggie's dad brought out the guitars and put on a little show for the family.  We even got blessed by Miss Leslie's singing!

So looking forward to Maggie and Sam's wedding in December.  We love you two!!

Poor Justin was asked to hold Laney while she was crying.  He was a trooper though.

That's a hot set of parents right there!

And of course while we were there, we took a lot of pictures of little Laney.  Can't wait to see this precious girl again.
