I bought Mike a trail camera for his birthday... this is our latest find out at our land...

Too many good things have happened... we had a fabulous trip to Missouri to see extended family, and to Nauvoo and other church history sites.  It was great!  Mike turned 40 and we had a fun and big birthday party for him.  We went to Rockport (the beach) this week and had a blast (Cameron got off work early for rain, so we decided to go last minute since he hardly had any vacation days this summer).  Cameron got us free tickets to Sea World and that was way fun.  Last night we hung out with the Updike's again and went to dinner, mini-golf, and then played some Dominion & Seaside.  So fun!  Cameron is a deep-water lifeguard at Sea World and making a lot of money and doing well.  Errolyn is going to a new school for 8th grade and she and I are both impressed with the new school and the students and teachers.  Allie is talking up a storm and smart as a whip.  Emma and Logan are just having fun and working hard.  Mike is an Executive Director at his company now and doing well. I'm the volunteer coordinator and document creator for Cameron's school orchestra.  And I'm in full swing working on this year's Messiah. We've had a great summer!
