Hard to believe we are already in the full swing of summer! Life has been treating us pretty well so I can't complain too much. :) We were so excited to welcome a nephew (after 4 nieces) to the family in June - I am so anxious to go and meet Landon! He is being adored by his big sisters, although rumor has it that Kayla won't change diapers, hahaha. The 4th of July was a "blast" as always. Good food, great friends and family, and great fireworks. What more could you ask for?
Another huge milestone was Justin getting his mission call to the Dominican Republic. What a wonderful blessing it was to be there when he opened his call! I think a piece of my heart is going to leave with him when he goes in October. I love that kid so much and can't believe he is ready to go on a mission - time certainly has a way of racing by these days it seems. I was grateful to be there with most of the family when he went through the temple just a few weeks ago. There is so much comfort knowing everyone in the family was worthy to be there - including the ones who couldn't make it. That is something not everyone gets to experience in this life I am sure and I am humbled by the blessings the Lord has seen fit to bestow upon us. I am grateful for the righteous lives and examples my brothers are to me. They are all pretty cool guys :)

Thanks for all the fun pictures! I wish we could have been there for all those fun and exciting things! We miss you. Please, please come and visit whenever you want - Landon needs to meet his Auntie Lala (and everyone else - of course)!
What wonderful news, both the new baby and the mission call. CG will be thrilled to hear.
