Catch-up...

There was a huge crowd waiting for their missionaries at the airport Tuesday night. Everyone was so anxious. A couple men in suits came down the escalator and everyone started to cheer... till we noticed they didn't have name tags, whoops. Where the heck were they we've been waiting for forever!! And then... ta-da!! A load of cute missionaries!! I got chills.

It was awesome. WELCOME HOME BROTHER!!!!!






We missed you Bryce. You were an awesome missionary.

Awhile ago I tried in vain to get a good picture of my kids all dressed up in their BYU outfits from Nate's mom. It was hard. Oh well. Here they are anyway. Obviously my favorite is the one at the top of my blog.




So Jenna and Carter were doing a pretty poor job of holding Logan. So my mom volunteered to hide under a blanket and balance him. We are so clever.





I love how in that last one Carter and Logan look like they've been havin a GOOOOOD time. Makes me laugh!

Okay let's try something new... cause I think grandma is suffocating under that blanket. What sacrifice. Okay, everyone on their bellies!



Hmmm Logan is way too interested in the grass. Yum yum.

Okay new pose. I know grandma's hands are in the picture but I am desperate.



Carter is getting grouchy.

Okay... let's try individual pics. Go Jenna, you like to pose! Go Cougars!




No smiles from this dude.



"Carter, your turn!"


I am just not quick enough.

Whew. Trying to be a photographer is tough.

I didn't realize how much I missed my little bro on his mission until I watched that video and started crying...aaaand he's only been gone for two months. :( But yay for Bryce! So exciting. :)

Taking pictures of little kids is EXTREMELY difficult. They don't have much patience, and they don't much care if they look goofy in the picture. They just want you to let them play.

I'm excited that Bryce is home! I loved that video. I got all teary eyed watching it. I can't wait until Joe gets back!

I don't know if it's cause I am pregnant or just cause I miss Rick, but I with everyone else just had myself a good cry. Rick has 7 months and I am counting away, I am glad to see that Bryce made it home safe!!

Your kids are SO CUTE! I just love their expressions. The video of the missionaries sort of makes them seem like they're in a boyband (not because of the matching outfits but by the sheer level of screaming.)
Thanks for the update!

The problem is the outfits, silly. The pics would have turned out magnificent if they were red...... haha Cute kids :)

Oh, and by the way, it was TOTALLY like that when I got off the plane from DC. And I didn't even know the people. They were just cheering at me :) haha

Yes, the video made me cry. I haven't even watched the video that dad took. It certainly was a party that night. Fun times. It is good to have Bryce home! It was fun helping you take those pictures of the cutest kids ever!
