We Are Adding One More!!!

Let's clear this up right from the begining...No, we are not expecting again. Apparently when I announced Stephani's pregnancy several people were thinking that we were expecting again...we are not! :) However, we are adding one more member to the Darr family. Mindi's little brother, Trevor, proposed to his girlfriend, EmmaLee Jones on Sunday morning. It is a very sweet story. Trevor was preching at our home church on Sunday on commitment. After the sermon, and invitation, Trevor announced that he had one more example of commitment to make and pulled EmmaLee up front. He told her how much he loved her and that he didn't want to spend another day without her in it, he got down on one knee with the ring and asked her to marry him. It was perfect. Obviously, she said yes! To make it even more perfect, her family had snuck in the back towards the end of the service so both of their families got to be there for the whole thing. This was not an easy task seeing as between the two of them they have 4 parents, 14 siblings and sibling in-laws, and 14 nieces and nephews. It was quite a crowd, but it was wonderful! The look on her face was priceless when she saw that her family was there as well. We had a wonderful dinner at mom and dad's afterwards, to celebrate, that everyone was able to attend too. They are planning their wedding for the Summer of 2010. This means that as soon as Katrina and Eric's are married in Summer of 2009, we will start on EmmaLee and Trevor's!
Also this weekend, we attend more festival activites. We met Mom and Dad with the boys at the parade Saturday afternoon and spent some time letting them play around at the park and on some of the rides, so there are some pictures of that as well.
Also, HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY MATT!! Our brother-in-law, Matt, turns 30 today! We are all getting together tonight for bowling! Another night out without the kids! Thanks MeMaw!! We really appreciate it!

Your family is beautiful, too! I love that people browse my blog...that's why I take the time to do it. We Mommies need to stick together and if we can give each other tips or show others what "real" families are like...well, I think we owe that to the world!
Take care,
