Welcome Home, Zach!

This morning we got up early and headed west to go to church w/ Uncle Robert & Aunt Sandy & Zach.  Zach got home from a 2 year mission to the Philippines.  He spoke about his experiences there and did a great job and then bore his testimony in Tagalog.  It was really cool to hear.

After that we went back to the house and changed into comfy clothes and had some yummy sandwiches and salad and cookies and other treats.  Autumn found Aunt Sandy’s high heels and had a blast wearing them around the house and hearing them click on the tile floor as she walked around.  She’s such a girly girl and I LOVE it!

The kids had a BLAST playing w/ Uncle Nate.  He was rough housing w/ them and they thought it was the greatest thing ever.  They were sitting on his feet and holding onto his legs and having him walk around the room.

We were getting too loud, so Aunt Sandy sent us outside to play, which was fine b/c it was perfect weather outside.  The kids did a dog pile on Uncle Nate after we had a race from the middle of the yard to the fence.  It was great to get out some energy.

Caleb wanted Nate to spin him around.  And of course after Caleb had a turn everyone else wanted a turn, too.  I wish I had 1/4 of the energy that Nate and the younger kids had.

Nate even tried racing the dogs around the yard, but the dogs always won.  Aunt Sandy & Uncle Robert have a beautiful backyard, so I went around and took some pictures of the flowers.  I thought they were so pretty.
