Brady is a RETURN MISSIONARY!

Last Wednesday Josh, Payton and I had the privilege of going to the San Francisco airport to see Brady. He had a lay over in San Francisco for 2 hours before heading off to Chico. Brady has been serving a mission in North Carolina for the last two years. We have only been able to write and he was only able to call home twice a year. We were so excited to see him. When he left Payton was about 5 months old. It took Payton a little while to get used to him, but not really too long before he was trying to always get Brady's attention. We got to hang out for about 3 hours before his plane left. It worked out kind of nice since his plane to Chico was about an hour behind. 

Brady looks the same to us just older now. We were able to talk and catch up on our lives. You can tell just by talking to him that he was an amazing missionary. He has so many amazing stories.  We missed him tons, and its nice having him back home. He has grown up so much and we are so grateful for him and all his other uncles for the examples they have each set by going on a mission. This past Sunday he spoke in church and the spirit was incredible. He did such an amazing job. He was nerves at first but then after 2 minutes he was calm. He could have talked for hours I am sure. Everyone just loved listening to him. I just love to look at him and see how much his testimony has grown and how much he has grown personally. We love Brady tons and hope he knows how wonderful of a person he is. 

Walking to go wait for Brady

Payton entertaining himself while we wait. He thought he was the funniest thing ever. 

Me just waiting!

Finally he is here!!! This picture is so sweet. Josh was so excited to see his brother.

Payton took this picture. Not too bad.

Payton is not very good at smiling, but Brady looks good!

WELCOME HOME BRADY!!!

Monday I was 37 weeks

This is just an update on my pregnancy. On Monday I was 37 weeks. We were in Oroville and went hiking on Table Mountain. It was SO fun!! The kids all did a great job hiking. I am feeling pretty good. Uncomfortable quite often but dealing. We are getting more and more exciting as the time is getting closer.

The Loves of My Life!

Josh and Payton looked so cute this past Sunday for church. They both had their matching neck ties on and I couldn't help but take a few pictures of them.

These are just a few pictures that Payton let me take of him. That doesn't happen very often. He is starting to want to take pictures himself with the camera , but he still isn't very good at getting anything in the picture.

Relaxing on his chair first thing in the morning.

We went to target and he figured out how fun it was to lay under the cart and just be pushed along. He is covering his eye because he HATES the sun in his eyes.
