Beautiful Bride

My little sister got married this summer and was a beautifully stunning bride! Melissa Marie you have been there, been my companion, my friend and sis since as long as I can remember. I love the man you have chosen to walk through life with! I love these pictures and will always treasure them... they mark the last of the VonGunten "girls" weddings!

Playing in the leaves

Around here fall is a family favorite....even the babe is getting into it! We just love how colorful the leaves are...how wonderful it is to witness a cycle of new life in the trees. It has been a reminder to us this fall of how God displays His power over death, how the leaves change and die and come back to life in the spring. We are reminded of the power Christ had over death and has brought us the opportunity for new life!


Okay so this little guy isn't quite thinking so deeply about it....but he still enjoys a good leaf pile...

Pumpkin meet Pumpkin

pumpkin carving with no pants on apparently:)




I just blogged like 5 posts at once...so check out whats below

Fall Fashions

So this is me trying to get Miles to look at the camera in his cute fall outfit.....He wanted to look everywhere but at me!





This I just had to add.....

Go Colts!

So we have always enjoyed a Colts came here and there but since leaving in Indy we have full fledged become jersey wearing fans....yeah we are those people....

Miles discovered a puddle one afternoon- this kid LOVES to be outside, he cries when you walk back in the house, im not sure what we are going to do this winter....suit up I guess!

Clothes came off since he was trying to swim in it....Adam wants me to be sure to say that here he paying tribute and doing the dance from Micheal Jackson's smooth criminal music video.

Im too Big to sit

Ever since Miles was a tiny baby we have been saying this phrase in a crazy baby voice: "I'm too big" as if to say Miles is saying, 'don't make me sit, I'm too big for that.' Miles never was the baby who feel asleep in a loud room or even wanted to sit on my lap...he ALWAYS wanted to stand! He would flex his little legs straight out and pop up in your arms. So many people holding him would say "man he is so strong!" Well we have entered another exciting "Im too big" phase, here is Miles pulling up and standing next to his toy at 6 months.

Johnny Appleseed Festival

So this is going to the beginning of multiple blog posts, but I'm behind and want to be sure to have this blog to remember all these wonderful, special moments this summer and fall!

This is Miles at his first ever Johnny Appleseed festival. This is a annual festival in Ft. Wayne and it is my absolute favorite festival ever! Im not exactly sure how to describe it so that it actually sounds fun....every time I try it just kinda sounds like Conner Prairie. Its right at the end of summer and TONS of people show up to this celebration for a man in a tin cap! Oh the food.....the costumes.... the antique booths...Johnny appleseed comes but once a year....
