Miles gets phase 1 of braces

Handsome!

Poor Ivy

It's never good when you hear a child start screaming for help....  Ivy was running out of her room and somehow her hair got caught behind the plate for the door knob.  She was stuck!  Don't worry, mom to the rescue :)

More summer fun...

The older kids thought they were so funny drawing on the little girls while they were sleeping...  I'm sure Meg has some sort of retaliation planned :)

Meg and I were shopping and came out to these breathtaking sun-rays shooting through the sky.  It made our day.


Morgan and Kate celebrating Kate's birthday.  Such great friends.

Morgan - TREK

Morgan LOVED Trek.  She loved her Ma and Pa and her family . Look at these great pictures of her experience.  

Trek

Mike and I were asked to be a Ma and Pa for our Stake Trek this year.  We were so excited!  

Aunt Beth and Kelsey came to watch the kids for us while we were gone.  

Morgan was just old enough to go too.  She was a little nervous, but ended up having an amazing time.  

It was finally time to meet our family... After so much anticipation and planning, it was like Christmas morning when our kids started meeting up on the field.  We instantly loved them! 

We ended up calling ourselves the wilderness explorers (reference to the movie UP).  

We had some great photographers come along and they captured some amazing photos. 

Trek was one of the best experiences for us. It was great for our marriage and an experience we won't ever forget.  

After Trek was over I gathers pictures of each of our kids and made them a collage to remember Trek.  It took many hours, but they turned out amazing!!  We love our little Trek family.  

We had 5 daughters: Addie, Sadie, Kenna, Kaela, and Lizzy; and we had 6 sons: Johnny, Cole, Ethan, Jamo, Brooks and Stockton.  We really had the best family! 

We had a reunion party at the Stevenson's pool just to keep the love alive :) . They will forever be ours and we will always have tender feelings towards them.
