Simon's Homecoming

Simon returned home August 16 from the Las Vegas West mission. We headed to D.C that weekend to see him. I was wonderful to hear all the great stories he had to share. Matt and I spent several hours with him Sunday where we were able to hear some of his experiences. That is one great guy. While he was gone Keeley prayed for him everyday with the words"please bless Simon on his mission." So in her little world it has been hard to adjust to not needing to pray for him "on his mission." It helped to see him. Both the girls took right to him.

So while we were in D.C we went to an amazing park and Grandpa planned a BBQ picnic. Then complements of Mark and Gail we all rode the train and the kids hit up the carousel. It was the highlight.


The on lookers! Grammie, Grandpa and Uncle Simon

Brinley could have played all day on the slide.

Keeley and Presley took their far share of turns as well.


Grandpa told lots of stories! Here he is with the interest of the children.

And we of course got a family picture.

It was a lot of fun especially for the kids to see the cousins. We can't wait for Christmas to add Haliee, Nate, Luke and Pete to this crazy bunch. (Kenz and Lorie were excited for you to come as well but I don't count you two as Crazies.)
