Oh Won't You Please Take Me Home (Oregon, part 1)

Oh what do you do in the summer time...when all the world isn't over 100 degrees?!?

We played outside!!!

Kaleb LOVED playing hoops w/ his uncles and thought it was great being "naked," too!

We got to know our cousins & uncles: Ted, Joey, Jonny & Dylan.

We got spoiled by our Gramma!

We checked out the gorgeous green scenery.

I don't know what they're looking at, but aren't they so darn cute? Probably Kaleb & Haylee putting on some type of a show.

We dressed up like freaks...anxiously awaiting our missionary to greet!

Jonny & Kaleb BEFORE the ride to the airport. Note how happy & pleasant Kaleb looks.

In our Best Napoleon Dynamite/80's craziness.

Even Gramma & Missy got in on the fun! Now check out the grumpster that was clinging to his mom the entire time & of course wouldn't touch the costume I brought for him.

The "little boys" together again: Jonny & Tommy.

"Deb" and her son.

I've never seen a more proud mother than my mom the day Tommy reported on his mission. He is rightfully the Golden Child in our family and you should have seen my parents beaming with pride that day at church! It was all my mom could talk about for days afterward and was pretty cute. He did a phenomenal job on his talk and it was really awesome to hear about his mission, to feel of his strong testimony, and to see the changes he has made and the Christlike example he is setting for us all. Wish Jody could have been there.

First hug in 2 years. The night before Tommy got home, we were all getting ready and very excited. Mom asked Kaleb if he wanted to go on a mission. Kaleb said he did, just like his daddy and Uncle Tommy. So sweet! I'd do it all over again, just for that!

Super T flying high from Cleveland, Ohio...mission accomplished!
