Shoveling snow off the roof they had to make it fun somehow this is Jeff backflipping off the roof CRAZY!!! But of course the kids had to follow right behind him:)

Trey got to skip school and go to mesquite with Jeff for a couple days riding he loved it we werent planning on him going but other guys were bringing their boys his age so one morning while I was in the temple (Jeff couldnt get a hold of me) he called and arranged for Trey to ride down with some guys that were leaving a day later than Jeff so Gordon went and got Trey out of school packed him up and sent him on his way all without me knowing..Ya I frieked out a little:)

Mom and Dad Coming Home from Africa

On our way to Boise...Mom and Dad's plan was delayed 24 hours so we were anxious to see them!!

We were all  waiting at Blairs all day to pick them up at the airport eveyone was pretty antsy.

Finally made it!

It was good to see them they were ready to kiss the ground Mom kept saying "I Love the United States"

All the kids made signs for them

The next day we met at Blairs to open our Christmas presents we had been waiting to exchange I cant believe that this is the only picture I took I made a quilt for them that had some of the pictures they had sent me thoughout their mission on the quilt squares I think they liked it...and for Christmas I made Zane, Zach, Kaysha, and Carmen and T-shirt quilts I wish I would have got more pictures of them opening them...

Just hanging out!

Kade and Carmen playing ipods together they get along so good...
