Kelsey is HOME!!!!

The day finally came. Sister Robertson (Aunt Kelsey) came home from her mission in Taiwan. 
All 12 siblings and the spouses were able to make it to California to welcome her home at the Sacramento Airport. 
The nieces and nephews held a letter spelling out Sister Robertson.
The first hug went to mom, but I didn't capture that. The second hug was to dad. This picture tells it all!!!
The first thing she said when she was EVERYONE she said, "Why are you all here!" It was moment of pure joy and happiness upon us all. Many eyes were wet from the overwhelming feeling of love and joy.
Then she proceeded hugging all of her siblings. 

Josh giving his baby sister the biggest hug ever!!!

After hugging the siblings and the inlays the nieces and nephews got their turns at a hug from Aunt Kelsey
Just a huge group hug!

Talking for a few minutes before getting her luggage. 
This is a great picture! Kelsey just has a huge smile and a glow about her. 
The whole group that was at the airport to welcome home Sister Robertson! Missing just a few nieces and nephews. 
Getting some pictures with Kelsey

All the siblings!

Mckinley crashed on the drive to Oroville
We got back to Oroville and celebrated 5 birthdays. One of which was Scarlett's

Ella and Scarlett LOVE playing together. They are a year apart, but they get along so great together. I love that they are silly and goofy and very much alike. 

We even got to see Gus for the first time and we snuggled him.

Here and There

These kids don't seem to sit still for very long. They are always going and playing. They are also growing like weeds. They just won't stop. 

My Grandma Tani looking so good in her cheetah attire. 
Typical behavior!

Spending some time together on the iPad. 
Josh's Grandma Johnson's birthday. Elma and Delmer with their 3 daughters Annette, Diane, and Carol
We were able to go to Payton's school for the Science Fair. The kids loved seeing the various projects and being able to even do some of them themselves. 

Mckinley enjoyed licking the butter off the bread before I was able to get them in the oven. 
This boy!!! I enjoyed being in the classroom for his Valentines Celebration. He also is very into basketball and watches it whenever he can. He keeps his dad up to date.
My sleeping beauty!
Riding bikes at the park!

Baseball/Teeball season has begun! This year we get to deal with 2 different teams. The kids are super excited to be playing. Another fun picture of my Grandma Tani. I love that I get to take these off my Dad's cousins Facebook page. She is so good at posting pictures of my grandma and keeping us up to date about her.
