It's only ~200…! 🥰

We had a great time hanging out!

It was really fun to spend all day with the bride and groom enjoying seeing the new Mr. & Mrs. Barton.  We had some good laughs relating memories from both sides of the family.  We even finished off the day by roasting hotdogs.  Good times❣️

The feat’s of strength portion of the day… John splitting wood.

I found this on the refrigerator. :)

Savannah and Maddie as little girls.  Adorable!  I was grabbing a drink at John and Savannah's house and was looking at the family pics they had on the fridge.  I thought this one was too cute!

Johnny crackin’ the whip. He’s a good teacher too…? ;)

You can only believe half of what you see on the Internet…

How about a toast to Mr. & Mrs. Barton

I loved this shot and the smiles too!

Barton randomness…

If you know us at all, you know there is always a random skill toy or exhibition at our gatherings. John & Savannah's reception was no exception.  John impressed us with the cracking of his bull whip!

Casual mode

We all enjoyed hanging out in the back yard talking over the fire.  It was casual so most of us changed into casual mode.  Savannah had to keep a little designation going so she used the bow for that purpose haha.  I liked the way this contemplative look turned out in the pic.

The aunt, uncle and bridesmaids

They all look cute posing with their niece Hadley in their back yard.  

We retired the party to the fire pit :)

Nash, Hadley, and their mom Jenna had some fun with the chalk too.  

Just testing

A lot has changed since Christmas 2020…

I have a very similar pic I took during some of Janice's last days.  It was over the timeframe of Christmas and Julie's birthday in 2020.  We were gathering around the table to celebrate however we could.  It was a nice time with a few fond memories while Janice rallied before her passing.  She even made me breakfast in that same timeframe.  

Fast forward five years or so, and we have an entirely group of peeps with us celebrating our new daughter, plus ones, and other related in-laws. What hasn't changed is the appreciation for the places we have, the fun of getting together, and the relationships we've developed along the way.  

And oh yeah, the cake was delicious! 

Fun with chocolate milk…!

Savannah just happened to have a gallon of chocolate milk and decided we needed it for refreshments to go along with the cake.  I guess Andy planned for such an occasion since he "supermanned" to show us all that he'd cleverly worn the chocolate milk food label t-shirt John and Savannah gave him for Christmas a couple years back.  We all got a good laugh out of them doing shots of chocolate milk together. Even if one of them was doing it from a champagne flute! Hahaha.

We had a great, fun, relaxing afternoon together❤️

Andy can balance anything…

Even a creepy floppy pickle…
