What a crazy, busy wonderful week this has been for us. Alisha's brother Mike and his family came out to visit from St. Louis and we loved being able to spend time with them as well as many of our friends and family.
This week was full of cookouts, swimming, baseball games, golfing, pizza parties, going to the farm, going to movies, and mud football.
Thanks to Mike we learned how to make the BEST pizza on this planet, so if any of you wan't a pizza party let us know(JD would love to practice his new found pizza making skills).

We also learned how to make mouth watering grilled pork tenderloin, who knew a pig could ever taste that good. We also tried to have a family picture with all of Alisha's neices and nephews, it only took 30 mins for all 5 of them to sit down long enough for a picture together.

JD got to play mud football, and lets just say when he got done he was as happy as a pig in mud! These pictures were taken after he had already rinsed off twice with the garden hose. Those clothes we sacrificed in the name of fun, and Alisha got her fun out of being able to spray JD off with freezing cold water out of the hose. I'm sure our neighbors are still laughing at the site of JD running around the back yard trying to avoid the cold water, while Alisha is spraying him like he was on fire.
What a great summer this has been so far, and it is only going to get a lot more hectic for us. It is amazing how fast this summer has flown by and that it is already the middle of July. We are hoping to be able to find time to have more cookouts, swimming, golfing, baseball, camping, and fun with our family and friends.
