4th of July!

We had a great family-filled weekend this 4th. Derek and his bride-to-be, Alison, came out from St. Louis for a quick visit. It was wonderful to meet Alison before the wedding (which we will be going to in August!). What a beautiful, smart, and charming daughter-in-law we are going to have! Derek looks so much like Joe it kinda freaks me out! The weather was so nice we were outside all day. The boys all had fun shooting targets. It was great to see Joe with all his boys and Alex with his brothers...
Olivia FINALLY got to go up in the tree house (she's been itching to get up there for a long time). Mia got some help from her Daddy and got to go up too.
The girls love to catch salamanders! Mia was even brave enough to hold him!
Our little Sweetie, Mia.
David resurrected his old tree swing that he made when he was 16. He even climbed up the tree and jumped off the branch like he used to when he was a kid! The water is only about 7 ft or so there is not much room for error! Yes, I made sure Kelli had plenty of life insurance in place!

We finished off with fireworks in the evening. What a great weekend!
