Uncle Joel gets Married!

Paul's younger brother, Joel, proposed to Amy last November and finally their special day arrived!  The kids had been looking forward to this day for a long time!

Before we traveled, Ruby and Sydney got their nails done.


We arrived in Indiana Friday afternoon and we got ready for rehearsal!
Annie and Grandma Ruth!





Saturday morning we had some time to swim at the hotel!




The big girls had to be at church early to get ready to be junior bridesmaids!







Meanwhile back at the hotel...


The two ring bearers and flower girl got to arrive a bit later!













Pictures with Paul's Grandma Ruth, aka Pokey!








Papa Gary and three of his four girls!


Time to walk down the aisle!!!  They all did great and the ceremony was beautiful!





Time to dance!  Jace found his third cousin, Ruthie, right away!


Annie and AUNT Amy!!



Aunt Amy and the girls!


Such an amazing and beautiful bride!


And my other wonderful sister-in-law!



We had brunch with the new couple on Sunday morning before they took off for their honeymoon!


Welcome to the family, Amy!  We could not be happier for you two!  We wish you God's richest blessings on your marriage and a lifetime of joy and love for each other!  We love you!

Ruby takes Kinnick

Paul was given two tickets to the first home game of the season and Ruby was the lucky one who got to be his date!  She was thrilled!  The kids have been inside Kinnick before, but never for a game.
Jace was less than impressed and keeps reminding us that the next time Dad only has two tickets, it's HIS turn!  



"The Wave" was started this day so Paul and Ruby got to be part of the inaugural event!



The Hawkeyes came out victorious against Wyoming: 24-3!  Go HAWKS!
