Reunions and water!

The kids couldn't have been off track at a better time! Kyle was finally done serving his two year mission! We were able to head off to California to see him and have Justin meet his uncle for the first time! This was a trip full of firsts for Justin and lots of time spent in water!


I just thought this was a cute picture of Justin and Molly having a stare down!

The girls were so excited to see Kyle!

This was one of Justin's "firsts!" He was a little unsure of the pool, but bravely stuck it out! (notice the grip he has on Dad's shirt!)

I think the girls turned into Mermaids on this trip!

Tyler was just so excited and proud to see Kyle!

Pismo Beach was FREEZING... but they didn't notice!


Justin was loving the sound of the waves crashing on the beach!

This was another one of Justin's "firsts!" He finally got to meet cool Uncle Kyle!

It took Brynn a while to warm up to Kyle (he left when she was just shy of 2 yrs. old), but they became buddies in no time! (she wouldn't look at the camera!) This was also the final picture as our trip was over and they were saying good-bye. We love you Kyle and are so proud of you! We had a blast! Thanks Mom and Dad for always spoiling us with good food and fun when we visit! We love you all!

Looks like a great trip. Is it time to go back to California yet? He better get used to that water because summer's finally here and he'll want to jump in when it 100 degrees. I love the death grip on daddy's shirt.

You're right I don't think it could have been better timing. I am glad the kids had fun and were able to see Kyle. Fun to see pictures of Kyle too I am sure your mom is so glad he is home.

You have a beautiful family! Justin is adorable. I have a 6 week old son with Ds and seeing your family, your strength, and love gives me such hope. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

Yeah, how exciting for you to see your Brother after 2 years. We love having my little Brother home. I loved seeing the pictures of Justin in the pool. This Monday for Memorial Day we are going swimming and it will Sam's first time as well. I'll have to let you know how it goes.

I am looking at your pics....I am assuming that these were from your trip to CA. Were you just here??? Where all did you visit? That really is a bummer that we didn't know you yet. I was just telling Jax's mom that maybe we will just have to come to the BBQ in Utah. When and where is it? My father in law lives in MT and we have been talking about meeting him halfway in SLC...maybe it would work out. We just need Ella to stay healthy!!!
