Marc and Katie - Chewelah, WA

Marc and Katie were married on a gorgeous summer evening in Chewelah, WA. Chewelah's golf course and country club was the perfect venue for this outdoor-loving couple! The clouds burst out rain during their rehearsal the night before, but it only made things fresh and beautiful for their wedding day. You could tell Katie put a lot of thought into every detail and it did not go unnoticed! Her dad made the arbor for the ceremony (complete with elk antlers). Even the fathers-of-the-bride's shoes were pink and green. This wedding party was a lot of fun and we enjoyed getting to know them over the weekend. The families were all terrific, relaxed and a good time was had by all. Thanks for sharing your special day! Best to you, Marc and Katie!

Barns of Wallowa County

I grew up on a farm in Eastern Washington and there grew my love for barns. The barn on our farm was/is a landmark in the area, and a beautiful tribute built by our ancestors. I've always loved old barns and their symbolism of America and hard work. They stand proudly, beckoning others to pass through their doors and sit on a bale of hay for a spell. Oh the stories those old barns could tell! Their musty smell of dirt, grease, leather, and barn cats don't make me turn away; I could spend a day inside, imagining people and animals before me using the barn, working, and enjoying its strong, encompassing beams. Of course, some barns are not so lucky. Time and weather have torn some barns apart, leaving just fragile pieces of boards and rusty nails behind.

On our trip to Wallowa Lake, Jeremy and I decided to do a "barn tour" on our way back home. The Wallowa County area has an abundance of old barns. Each time we stopped at a barn to photograph it I'd say, "hey, I can see 4 or 5 more barns just down the road!" We took in as many as we could before heading back to Idaho. Talk about gorgeous beauty. We both decided we want a house/cabin/ranch there some day. Those people are certainly blessed with some beautiful landscapes!

Views of Wallowa

We got back from Wallowa Lake, OR on Monday. We enjoyed such a wonderful time with my entire immediate family. It used to be a summer tradition to stay at Wallowa Lake every year, but with people moving, getting married, having children, and busy farming schedules, it hasn't happened in awhile. This weekend was our attempt to revive the old tradition. Some of us stayed in a family cabin, and the others stayed in their RVs. We were blessed to have spent time together making new memories and enjoying the fresh mountain air and scenery.

My brother made this canoe last summer and was testing the waters at Wallowa. He's a very talented craftsman.

We rented a boat for a couple hours and cruised around the lake. It was getting stormier by the minute!

My two favorite guys...

Bekah asked, "is this as fast as it'll go?" Travis punched it up a notch and she got her turn at the wheel.
Brrr It was cold!!
Yes, deer do like cherries... This one was smart to spit out the pits too. :-)
Jeremy and I also went on a horseback trip in the mountains on Monday. More photos of that to follow, as well as Barns of Wallowa County.
