The McDonald Family Blog

I am trying to create a blog to share pictures and stories about our family. So many fun and memorable things happen everyday. I decided that I needed to have a quick way to share ideas, before thay are forgotten. I hope you enjoy!

McDonald Family Pics

Caryn Miller did it again!  Last weekend we had family pictures taken with the McDonalds!  We all had a great time with each other and Caryn really took some nice pictures!  So glad that I am part of such a wonderful family!!!









Paul and Nicole Tie the Knot

Paul and Nicole finally got hitched.  The big day was September 9, 2011.  The wedding was in Lima, OH and a beautiful park and the reception was in Downtown Lima.  The day was full of excited (even a trip to the ER for Katelyn...nasty bees)!  Caroline and Katelyn had so much fun dancing all by themselves:)


The Rehearsal Dinner.  I decided that I would need to put candy in the flower girl baskets to keep the girls up front and it worked like a charm!

 My dancing QUEEN!  Caroline

Somebody had too much fun! Both Caroline and Drake crashed at the table before the wedding was over!  A good time was had by all!

Camping with the Grants

 Future Sluggers!




At the end of August we trekked it to Proud Lake for camping:)  A far drive, I know.  The kids had a blast riding their bikes in the street, making smores, playing flashlight tag, and swimming.  A good time was had by kids and adults!  A perfect way to end the summer. We are looking forward to many more camping trips.

Drake, Caroline, and Katelyn Photo Shoot

The kids had a photo shoot with Caryn Ashley Photography (http://www.carynashleyphotography.com/) at Heritage Park in Farmington Hills.  The kids had a great time walking through the park and talking with Caryn.  I think that Drake told her his life story.  A week later, Caroline asks me if we can go to Caryn's house and play in her backyard again.

Katelyn would rather play with the rocks.


Love the sun in this pic!

Drake wanted his pic taken on the rocks.  It was his idea!

Mr and Mrs Nicholas Mendenhall!

Nick and Sarah FINALLY got married yesterday!  We all went to Gun Lake to watch and take part in all of the festivities.  Since all the kids were left at home we all had a great time Partying.  It was so much fun to reconnect with everyone...  I think that I consumed more alchol this weekend than I have in the last two years.  The Mendenhalls really know how to throw a party!!!
Sarah looked so pretty!

Derek Moore performed the ceremony!!!
