Some More Northern Travels...

This past month, Bo and I had the privilege of flying up to Michigan for a friend's wedding, and a week with our married siblings. Since Bo is now a private pilot {YAY!}, he and a fellow pilot friend flew us in a little 4-seater to Orlando... and from there we flew commercially the rest of the way. We had a blast every single day. It was just an amazing trip! It seemed like the days flew by, until we were homeward bound again. But that's just how good times are. We played volleyball {a MUST with these friends=)}, helped decorate and prepare for the wedding, witnessed the wedding {of course!}, went to church, joined up at a park with lots of my siblings' in laws and played soccer till dark, worked on Joshua and Farrah's house that they bought to fix up and re-sell, Bo and the guys played golf, while I visited a friend and her new baby, Bo went to Traverse City to work with Joshua, while Farrah and I painted at their house they're re-selling {Scottville}, spent a couple days and nights with Evan and Joanna, went sight-seeing with Joanna, went to church Wednesday night, went boating and jet skiing on Ford Lake with our married siblings=), played ultimate Frisbee with Joshua and Farrah and some friends of theirs, went ice- skating {Bo's and my 1st time!}, and last but NOT least... had some nice long catch up/theological discussions waaay past midnight=) Enjoy the pics!

Sorry for the blurry photo. My phone couldn't focus in the dark=/

We unexpectedly had the pleasure of taking a friend along with us, who was also attending the wedding! Although it was our first time in a small plane, it was a great experience!

The view of the ground from so high was spectacular!

Ready to go!

Annnddd... my lil' sweetie didn't recognize us at first, but eventually gave me this shy smile as we were driving home<3

Lots of fun!


Abigail loves her dolly...

But more so, her DADDY! LOL=)

The morning that Bo made friends with his niece... {haha!}

This is Joshua and Farrah's house on the outside.

The beautiful reception room...

Farrah made the cake, and did a fantastic job!

The beautiful bride! I can hardly believe she's already married... such a special friend<3


Evan and Joanna, and Jaley!

The finished cake=)

Soaking in special moments with Honeygail...


The pumpkin fields were amazing... as far as I could see were thousands of them!

Ahhh, the cool temperature was PERFECT for soccer!

Bo, taking a moment to work on "favorite uncle" position... [haha!]

Looks like it's working! Although, she was smiling at me instead of him;)))

The house in Scotville from the outside.

Holding a precious new life... Joy Siefka!

Playing "Ticket to Ride".

"I got this, Mama!"

Farrah bravely standing on a step stool, leaning over the steep staircase to paint as far over as she could! =0

It was fun painting together!

At Evan and Joanna's... They have a HUGE, very nice room... perfect for hospitality for a crowd!
Joshua and Farrah took us there and stayed for supper! 

"Where'd you go, Uncle Bo?!"

The best I could do...=)
Precious cousins!

{SMILE!}


Preciousness kept smiling and talking away to me! She is SUCH a sweet and content baby... always ready to smile for whoever, and willing to be held by anyone!

The picture doesn't do this gorgeous sunrise justice...

Bo and I took turns with her=)

Feldman Family's Fun Frolics=)

The end of August/beginning of September we had a special 9 days with Evan & Joanna, and Jaley! They flew in on a Sunday afternoon, so we all drove down to Orlando to pick them up, and meet Jaley for the first time=) (except Alayna!) We had fun celebrating Frank's birthday at the springs, going to the zoo, playing card games and soccer around here, going to the beach, and having a cookout with Uncle Gary and Aunt Diana!
Here's some pictures... enjoy!

Honey was ecstatic to see big brother again=)=)
Jaley was sleeping when we met up with them, but soon woke up with all her excited aunts and uncles eagerly waiting to hold her=)
Mimi's turn first!
Aunties' turn!



Sweet bebes=)

Birthday boy enjoying some cantaloupe at the springs!


Yay, Grandaddy gets a turn!


No one got enough of Jaley... it's just that way when there's a baby in the  house! (But she IS extra adorable...=)















Frank opening his gifts!


And blowing out his candles... no, he's not as old as the amount of candles on his cake...LOL
He turned THREE!
We went to the Jacksonville zoo on a Tuesday, and had the whole place to ourselves! They had a really cute live animal show, which we all enjoyed immensely!
Trying to count the flamingos... quite a challenge when they're moving about so much!
"It's not gonna get me, Anayna?" =)
Petting the sting rays!


My little buddy:)


This actually looks pretty creepy at first glance...{smile}

Mimi had "Jaley watch" at the beach!

Digging up sand fleas... there were swarms of them!



I LOVE this picture!! Jaley's AND Joanna's first time experiencing the Atlantic!

And this is another favorite!
Eating out at Chipotle, a family favorite...
Playing cards with Uncle Gary and Aunt Diana was a fun way to "end" the full 9 days together...
