Welcome Home, Jacob!

We arrived home from Yellowstone on Monday and left Wednesday morning for California, to visit Dave's side this time. We had enough time to do laundry, pack, and we were off again. Our week was packed with family and we loved every minute of it!

I heart frequent flier miles and free lap-riders! This was McKenna's first airplane ride...well, not counting when I was pregnant.

Dave's youngest brother, Jacob returned home from his LDS mission to Lima, Peru. We sure missed him!

Here's Jacob with most of his nieces and nephews at the airport. There were four that were born while he was gone.

Got to love the awesome souvenirs! It was so thoughtful of Jacob to spend his time and money on the kids. They loved their authentic Peruvian hats.

We were in California from Wednesday to Monday and the days were filled with all sorts of fun activities like volleyball at the church, In N Out for lunch, facials, swimming, playing cards, shopping, and a lot of late-night chatting. We used the neighbors' pool quite a few times. It was a little cold for swimming, but we did it anyway.

Jacob before impact.

Little Kenna Girl with her Grandpa David.

Jason put together the First Annual Brock 5K. I woke up for the 7 AM event to be time-keeper with Judy. :)

David, Jason, Dave, Janene, and Jacob at the starting line.

And who do you think won the first family title of 5K Champion? Any guesses....It was Janene, the award-winning marathon runner with a time of 21:03. Wow!!

The after picture...gee, can't you tell? Janene, was brave to pose for this picture. :)

Sunday was Jacob's Sacrament Meeting talk. He gave an amazing talk. After church we took some family photos.

This was almost a complete shot. We were missing Janene's husband, Devin.

All the cousins! Campbell, McKenna, Emery, Clayton, M'li, Taylor, Griffin, Derek, and Ryker.

The Sweet Granddaughters!!

After most of the crowd left on Sunday night. The boys were finally able to play some football with their uncles, Jacob and Jared. Fun!

We flew home on Monday morning on a 6 AM flight! Ouch! It was amazing to watch the sun rise from the plane, but NEVER again do I want to experience that. Getting up before 4:00 AM was way too early for all of us. It was an awesome week, but I only wish we could do it more often!
