We have waited and waited for Scotty to come home off his mission. He had such an eventful mission in Chile--first his appendix burst and he had to go home to have that fixed, then he had bunion surgery on both feet. Then he returned to Chile and got Swine Flu. Then of course he survived the huge earthquake which was very close to Talca, where he was at the time. We are so glad to have him home safe and sound. The kids and I drove to Idaho to join his homecoming celebration!
Everyone in our big ole family came home so there was a full house and lots of laughter!! It is always so fun (and a little crazy!) when we all get together!
Jaren very much enjoyed all his uncles and said I was lucky to have so many brothers. They were always teaching him something--like how to perfect his shot in basketball, throw a football, or in this case, "look cool" for the camera.
The kids loved playing with their cousin Lilya who is now old enough to run and play with them.
Poor little Kenna felt sick for 1 day and missed out on singing with the cousins at Scotty's homecoming--that was the only downfall of the trip. The kids travelled beautifully and were happy and helpful throughout the drive. I was so proud of them and told them they were doing great and they said, " We told you we would be good!" Maybe just maybe we'll attempt it again... but hopefully next time Greggor can come with us!
what a wonderful family picture. Wow the girls got big. And Jaren looks so grown up. Can't wait to see you in a couple (or so) weeks.
