It’s always blown my mind how two people can result in a family of seven and then a few years down the road that family doubles, triples, quadruples, and so on! Looking at this cute Mickelson family is the perfect example of this phenomenon! Look at all those cute faces, the range of ages, and the different stages of life each sibling is in! I love it! The Mickelson’s were ‘doomed’ to be a part of my family from the moment Nick and Megan (my sister) became friends! My parents moved up to Grace, Idaho in July of 2015 from Eden, Utah- the place my parents and I had grown up. This put three out of four siblings in school from Thatcher Elementary to Grace Junior High & High School.  Moving to a new school is already tricky, but moving to a new state on top of that was even more uncomfortable. Nick was one that was kind and became a friend of Megan, she was in High school and his friendship was much needed! Obviously, that friendship didn’t end in the classroom, Nick went on his mission, and Megan headed to BYUI, and when he got home they got married! Now, usually, you’d just claim the brother-in-law as a family member but not in this case! We claim them ALL! Vaughn has become my husband’s golf buddy, and Rachelle is always as sweet as can be! I was so excited to be able to see the whole family together again! It’d been a few years since the wedding and gosh they’ve grown in that short time!
