Summer is finally here! I said "goodbye" to my awesome second graders and now can spend extra time with the family in the sun! Here are a few new pictures of our little guy enjoying the warmth and sunshine.

Derek is talking so much and has some pretty in-depth thoughts that blow us away. He is really in tune with people's feelings and now tries to crack jokes to make us laugh. We are enjoying his spirit and personality immensely, and are thankful he is passed the baby stage!

Enjoy!

We're not "lion!" My sister, Summer, found the man of her dreams and married Chris Smallwood June 7, 2008. Summer said it was the best day of her life! It was an incredible wedding held in my parents new fabulous backyard!

Derek did an AMAZING job on the drive to and from CA and was an angel the entire week we were there! We had a total blast with grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc, and wished we all lived closer to each other. We are truly thankful for our family!!!
