Catch up!!

 We have had such a fun summer!! Here are some of the fun things we've been up to!!

We sent my cute brother on a mission to Guatemala at the end of May!! I love this family picture we took before he left!

 I love this picture too!! We always use to tease Michael that he was so lucky to have 4 extra "moms" since he had four older sisters, haha! He's a good sport!

 Derek prays for Michael almost every day! He's such a good example to Derek and Cooper!

 Michael always plays so cute with the boys! They just love him so much!! We're so proud of Michael for serving a mission, and it is SO great to get his e-mails every week!!

 We celebrated a wedding in July! Sweet Erica, aka "Merry Sunshine" got married to Chris Claflin at the beginning of July! We are so happy for them!!

 We celebrated the 4th of July! I love how the boys are smiling at each other in this picture!!

 Derek took swimming lessons for the first time! I was actually really impressed with how much he learned!

 Derek and his swimming teacher!

 We had a Great vacation to Missouri! Here are a few cute pictures, but I'll have to do a whole post about all the fun we had!!
Cooper, Grandpa and Lexi!

 Lex and Coop! It was too funny to watch these two together! They are the same age and had so much fun together!!

 Derek loved playing with all the cousins and helping with the younger kiddos!

 Wagon rides around the yard = great fun for the kids and great exercise for the grownups!

 The boys! So cute!!

 Love these cute kids!!
