Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Bently West

We've just had a very exciting week! Tuesday I picked my Mom & Dad & Aunt Betty up at the airport. Wednesday we picked up my sister, Laine. Thursday Natalie, Jack, Jackson, Jordan, Shawn, & my brother, Keith & his wife Ada arrived from Utah shortly before the wedding rehearsal. I was so excited to have all of our children together along with the extended family that was able to join us for Bently and Bonnie's wedding.

I intended to take a picture of all of our company standing by this sign we hung in the garage.

One of the best things about our family is that they are always ready to jump in and give a hand wherever needed!! Laine was helping cut up grapes while Mom, Natalie & Aunt Betty cut up chicken & mixed the dressing for the chicken salad croissants.

Friday, September 11, 2009 will be a wonderful day to remember... our son Bently married his fiance Bonnie Anderson. We woke up to pouring rain, but were very blessed that the weather cleared, and the sun dried the lawn at the park in Newnan where they were married.

A very happy groom...

...and a very excited, beautiful bride
