Enchanted Wedding. Rachel and Colt


Mr. and Mrs. Colt McCoy

It was an wonderful weekend of wedding fun. From the rehearsal to wedding day luncheon to reception. I am thankful we were able to be there and share in the fun and memories.


Table at Rehearsal dinner. Sweet.

Bridal luncheon. Lots of smiles and laughter.

Beautiful girls.

Mothers, Grandmothers, Rachel and Aunts. Lots of them!
Debra and her sweet sisters and sisters in law's



Austin



My goofy boys. They make me smile. They were waiting for two hours for the wedding.
More goofy, sweet boys.
Brad and Dick and Tammy. Love you guys so much.

Isn't the flower girl precious?




They put pictures of the bride and groom's parents and grandparent's wedding cake pictures beside the cake. Such a sweet setting and idea.
Gorgeous outdoor setting for the reception.



My sweetheart.



Yes, that is who you think it is. So fun to meet him and his wife.

Sparklers








Sorry these are a little blurry toward the end. I had tears in my eyes and could not focus too well. What is it about the bride and groom leaving the reception? It kind of squeezes my heart and chokes me up. I kept picturing Colt at age two and ten and sixteen and it made me cry. Happy tears yes and I have to admit sad ones too. Watching our children grow up is not always easy on our hearts. Change, and life moving on is constant and sometimes I am nostalgic for the days of old. I feel that way a little bit today.

But, then I think...we now have beautiful, kind, loving Rachel as a part of this family and we are blessed.
This change is a lovely one.



Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. His divine power has given us everything we need for life and Godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. 2 Peter 1:2&3

Looks like a great family moment. I know that life is probably crazy for Colt and lots of the family right now, but I'm glad y'all got to share a "normal" time.

Grace and peace,

So sweet, Amy! Thanks for sharing!

Rachel looks a lot like Debra in some of those pictures with her big, beautiful smile. Doesn't a boy more often than not choose a bride much like his own mother? They make a gorgeous couple.

Miss you so much,
Shawna

Well, Lance found it on TMZ before I had a chance to read your blog!!! Loved the pictures. Beautiful people, inside and out. I've followed Aaron Watson since he first started out. I saw him 10 years ago in Rocksprings, Texas at a rodeo. He seems to have also grown up to be a very respectable person "on and off the job". Congratulations to your family. It's so sweet to add amazing people to your family. Thanks for sharing.

I prayed every season for this young man, I cried when he got hurt that year and on the stretcher he pointed to heaven (A&M game if I remember right) and again at the National Championship...as a Mom of boys, this so hits my heart...one of mine is married!!!

Blessings to the whole family

So easy it's embarrassing! Here it is: One box of Betty Crocker Red Velvet Cake mix. 1 semi sweet choc. chips 1 small Half and Half- (use half a cup) 1small carton of whipping cream 1 package of cream cheese Half cup sugar Bake cake (follow box directions), let cool and crumble. Stir together cream cheese, sugar and whipping cream with blender until smooth. Melt chocolate chips in bowl and then add half and half. Stir until smooth. Layer in trifle dish. Enjoy.  Alaska memories. Love this fat Santa above. Thrilled with how this little wreath turned out. Happy Christmas decorating! Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I am trying to hav

Camp Blue Haven-2012

Image
Mountains green, sparkling streams, every morning you greet me. Pine trees tall, waterfalls, blue skies canopied o'er me. May I know as I live and grow, God forsakes me never. May His love from above bless Blue Haven forever.  And what a blessing it was this summer to be back up in the cool mountains with so many people that we love.  As I reflected on this special place I thought about how big of an influence it has been on our children and our hearts.  At camp time slows down. There are so few distractions. The focus is on fellowship, enjoying God's creation and growing in knowledge of Him.  It has been a place to teach us what our life in this world should be about. It has also been a glimpse of what I think heaven will be a little like.  It has taught us to stay close to one another, to be accountable to each other and to live an out loud life for Christ. No holding back. Living it. Because of the encouragement and growth that happens here we are bett
