We decided we are due for a siblings picture. 

L-R: Carlee, Caden, Isaac, Marley, Clara, Ryan, Wyatt, Pearson, Hendrix and back row is Grayson, Tristan and Zeek We had a conversation with the kids that struggle to sit still and smile for these family pictures and we opted to try again. These turned out a little better.

Dad surprised us in Des Moines at Adventureland for our annual trip! We were so excited and super surprised to see him there! 

Pearson got to come out and play with the sparklers, too. Aunt Natalie was upstairs putting Ryan to bed.

We stopped at Walgreens for something on our ride back to Papa and Grandma’s and found sparklers. Zeek and Alishea came over to hang out and we stayed up to light them. 

L-R, Zeek, Clara, Marley on Clara’s back, Caden, Carlee, Alishea, Grayson, Tristan (in back with curly hair because he lost a bet), Isaac, Pearson, Ryan, me and Hendrix Another attempt at a picture with all the cousins. There are always 1-3 kids who just can’t get it together for these pictures and it’s not the…

Grandma had this idea that she wanted everyone to line up and floss together. Grayson was not having it. Nailed it!

We are back to playing in the backyard. 

And to end the night, we caught fireflies. 

Great Grandma Do came, too. We always enjoy getting some Do time!
