Last Wednesday, we went home to Washington because my baby brother was coming home from his mission in Cordoba Argentina. We flew in to Seattle at about 10:30 and he was going to come at about 1:30. So, we went to lunch at McDonald's and then hung out waiting for him at the airport.
Here is Scott and Connor walking around waiting....
We didn't know where he would be coming down to baggage claim so we split up...my mom got to see him first. Here is Elder Walters and my mom.
Connor gets to meet his Uncle Conrad for the first time. Aren't they cute?! Conrad looks so handsome and grown up in his suit. It was so exciting a great to get to be there and see him. My mom, dad, sister, Nana and Popou and us were all at the airport waiting for him. My parents rented a big 15 passenger van so that we could all drive back to Wenatchee together..it was pretty fun, a little bouncy, but fun to all be together.
THat night Conrad had to go meet with the High Council and Stake President and get released. We got back a little early, so he couldn't wait to see the Bronco that my dad redid for him. It was kind of his welcome home present. I think he was about to cry when he saw it. He just put his head down on the steering wheel and was pretty happy to see his truck. I think it looks really nice. My dad did alot to it and the color was just perfect. Here is Connor and his Uncle in the big truck.
Connor chillin with his Uncle Conrad eating popcorn (Connor's favorite!). They were so cute together.
Saturday we went boating and jet skiing. Connor went on the boat at least 3 times and loved it. He would close his eyes and make noises when we went over bumps. It was pretty cute.
Of course, playing in the sand on the beach was pretty fun too!
This is home!
I think this picture is just beautiful...at least it feels like home to us! We miss Washington and our family and didn't like having to come back to Tucson. At least this time, I didn't cry though, which I usually do. It was wonderful to see my parents new house and see our family and Popou's new puppy (she is so cute and Connor loved her because she was tiny and he could actually hold her!). It can be stressful going back to see family though. We never get to go everything and people always end up getting upset with us, which makes things not as fun! It was nice to come home and get to sleep in our own beds and be at our house too. Vacation is great and we want to go on another now. I just have to get some vacation time back now that I used it all up! :)
