The Brother #1 is HOME!

Last Monday, Mike got home from his 2-year mission
to the Colorado Springs Mission.
Here is the garage, all ready to welcome him home...
Here are my parents. My Dad is doing an "action" shot.
They weren't excited at ALL!
Neither was this guy.
Man, I love him.
There is nothing like the return of a family member
who has been gone for a LONG time.
Everyone was glowing and crying.
We sure did miss him and are so glad he his home!
Here they are!
The whole fam-damily.
(Minus James who gets home in a short year)

And one last pic of us dining at Texas Roadhouse.
I have a sweet and blessed life.

Guitars, Tiki Bars and a whole Lotta Love...

I have slowly converted Casey to the joy of country music.
Bwah ha ha...
It's been my evil plan all along.
We are starting one artist at a time.
A few months ago, he really started bonding with Mr. Chesney.
Everywhere he went, Mr. C came.
He especially loves him,
because he mentions Boston and the "Red Sox" in a few songs.
Casey wished they were best friends. I know he does.

Anyway, a few weeks ago,
we scored some sweet and cheap tickets to his show.
We went with my parents and Sister and Bro-In-Law. (Jen & Chad)
Besides sitting out in the BLAZING heat and
with throbbing swollen feet...
It was SO MUCH FUN!


{Oh, and take note in the top picture,
Kenny whipped out a U of U hat for one of his songs.
That totally sealed the deal for Casey.
Done.
Love.
Mission Accomplished.}
