Fun Dinner On The Way Home!

Dillon and Cameron were so cute playing together!
See! They thought they would both fit! It worked for picture purposes, but they couldn't move, so one of them had to get out!
How cute is Ellie! She was so mellow and good too!
Ellie and Emma! I bet they have fun family reunions with all these cute kids!
The kids playing with Emma's toys!

On our way home from Las Vegas, we stopped and saw some friends and family! We first stopped to see Scott and Sarah! I haven't seen them in a year and a half! So sad! Then Valerie made us a yummy spaghetti dinner and it was so much fun to visit!!!! Becca and Miah, and Shawn and Andrea came over and we just had a great time! Thanks again Mike and Valerie!

Happy Easter!

Kyle, Normand and Tyler before the big Easter Egg Hunt!
Easter Egg Hunt!
They had to look EVERYWHERE!
This is what the big boys wanted to do for their Easter Morning!
The Easter Bunny hid eggs with money and candy in the back yard at my parents house and the kids had a lot of fun on their hunt! We did this Saturday so that we didn't have to take the time while a whole house full of people were trying to get ready on Sunday for church. Also, we really wanted Easter day to be about the Savior, not so much about the Easter Bunny!

Fun With The Fam After Kyle Got Home!

We had a blast the day after Kyle got home! We went and did some quotes on some jobs for my dad and Kyle and we went to the Apple store so Kyle could get an iPod. Then Jane met us and we went 4-wheeling! We got back and Lance and Gaelynn surprised us and came early! Then we dyed eggs and got ready for our Easter Celebration! It was great to just be together as a family!

I saw my dad first and ran and gave him a hug, then I saw Kyle! I ran to him and probably almost knocked him over! I just stood there hugging him and bawling for like 2 minutes! He looked so great! It was so great to see him in person!
Yup, there's my cute hubby and my brother! And yes, Kyle is talking to Jane on the phone right then!

They finally meet! Kyle couldn't be officially released until 6 pm and they were waiting all day just to see each other!

Kyle was released to my parents April 1, 2009 and they toured Chile for 8 days and we picked them up from the airport April 9, 2009 and just had a great day together! He really wanted to be with Jane, but we took what we could get! He looked so good and wasn't wierd at all, which was great! He was still Kyle and we love him! We are so grateful that he was willing to serve the Lord for two years! And now we are grateful that he's home!
