Homecoming...

One of my oldest nephews came home from his mission to New Zealand last weekend.  Wyatt had his championship soccer game at 1:30 Saturday afternoon.  We watched, cheered, played and coached (depending on who you were) until the game was over.  Wyatt's team won (yay!) and we had a little trophy ceremony...then it was straight into the packed van for a drive to Utah.  

We rolled into town very early Sunday morning (good thing they had late church) and showed up for Keaton's homecoming.  Keaton gave a great talk.  He shared some excellent stories and his testimony.  I was so glad my kids got to see him and hear his testimony.  

After the homecoming part at church we went back to my brother's house.  My kids think Uncle Chris is pretty cool.  They think his house is one of the funnest places on earth...they are right.  Uncle Chris let the kids play video games and then busted out his WWII jeep.  

Uncle Christ took the boys out for a drive...and then ended up letting each boy "drive" the jeep, including Colter.

Keaton was a trooper and played fun rough house games with the kids.  Colter got some excellent cousin time.  My other brother, Caleb, drove down from Idaho with his five boys.  Caleb's youngest two boys are Colter's age.  He played the most with Sam, they kept racing a little truck across the living room floor. 

                      

We had to leave the next morning.  Will had a breakfast meeting in Salt Lake and as soon as he was finished we hit the road.  It was a very short trip but very much worth it.  We loved seeing family and on the drive home we drove through snow!  So...a pretty great trip!
