The Gerbrandts have been a part of our small group for over 5 years... 6 maybe??? I can't even remember. I don remember that Nathan was a newborn and we used to have lots of nice, quiet, adult conversations :) Eight kids later our small groups aren't quite as small anymore. Anyway, when they announced that they would be moving to California Shay, Rachel and I knew we had to do something to send them off right. We decided on a pool party for the girls in our Bible study group and their families and it was so much fun!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZq2Kx81k0IEbqRxcz8OF_lhT9eIxMoT3tXlqXAIVZnaERCBPwLQf6qPGadop42NoUq9kCwI0cGCL0kQ65kYDsi2Hm4TpXW9ieXupfw3aCrBSUaLo-7cA0_HBOm5uiglGUsKXTse-ZDII/s640/GG01.jpg)

Before everyone got to the pool Luke had the whole thing to himself... here's Mason pointing (his new thing) at Luke swimming all by himself:
When on earth did they get this BIG??? I have a feeling that we're going to blink and they're going to be 14.
LOTS of girl talk :)
And LOTS of racing!
We were trying to wrangle the kids for a group picture, but first we had to get rid of the beach ball..![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv2ruzq1K1r9BM3JKhwSZflaZ2hK2k-k2kvQFvns9doyL5jE0we9u2pmgh6LIAx2dJBmUaKyRFgk7QmMaWeYsFPu4DPxdQkGeYMCPE3Z2WyOS7CetbPxLa7wYqKah9dvVBddS5-7T75zg/s640/GG33.jpg)

LOVE this picture of Molly with all the boys:
Okay, there are going to be LOTS of these group pictures. I always have such a hard time picking which group pictures to post because in every pic someone's kids look cute :)![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjAafXY-EXWySrG-7nwSB7BthqdbXhEpfUmgs9CX-Ytb4P06dlFkQhB8HTZNfL0V3M4aPr2FqKWs91nWt74v7yTE8FddxBybA8yLJ_zDo6NBLQYXQdi_gDw-lBF44jPmDDH37MnQJPiIU/s640/GG35.jpg)

How cute are these girls?!?!?!
And these ones?!?!?! :)
This picture cracks me up! I think this is probably what we look like as a group most of the time :)![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl7c7c0zebU2oBrFFq5oMB_ZQ90RVZShoF8MteGyMmx5lmGt3_N78gQsV_2Av33smJT_hZxfEtkD26LO3qR3RlkBuao-HcofddwI8Ze2sKmTThTPLZy-tnOwVuqtAujT35ctfL-bDF4jY/s640/GG52.jpg)
