Mckinley's Homecoming & Reunion...

Mom and Dad rented this nice home in Heber City for all of us traveling in for Mckinley's homecoming from serving in the Washington DC North mission.  It was so fun to see her and she looked so good! Most of us came Friday except Mom, Dad, and Reid's family came on Saturday.  Friday night after we arrived and got settled Scott, Rosie, Mckinley and I went grocery shopping.   It was so fun to hang out with Mckinely.
It was also fun to see these two!

Everyone loved getting to hold and love on our little Zachariah!



Saturday Scott and I made breakfast and we had yummy Belgium waffles.  We hung out for a little while with everyone then Cole, Kacie, Mckinley, Scott, and I went shopping at the outlets in Park City.  I found some tennis shoes for Brady at the Nike store.  Cole and Scott got a bunch of Ghost energy and protein drinks that were on sale at GNC.  We also went to the Oakley and Under Armor stores before we headed back to the house.

Mom and Dad made yummy tacos for everyone then a bunch went to the Ice Castles in Midway.  I stayed with mom and dad to babysit Zach and help set up the room for the surprise slideshow for Rosie's 50th birthday.













After everyone got back we sang happy birthday to Rosie.  She thought we were singing to Mckinley and was so surprised.  I gave her a new shirt and then we played the slideshow.  She got emotional she was so surprised.  It was fun! After the 40-minute video, we played Left, Right with everyone.  Mckinley talked about her mission and when she said certain words, we would pass envelopes left or right that mom and dad put money.  The two youngest in the family got the jackpot.  Chad got $100.00 and Zach got $50.  Most of us got $2.00 but there were also a few fives, tens and a twenty.


The view from this house was so beautiful!
Sunday we all went to Mckinley's homecoming.  She did a wonderful job, I just wished she would have had more time to speak.  The man prior took up all the time.  I was glad we were able to get a picture with her before Cole and Kacie had to leave.




Rosie had a wonderful dinner for everyone.  We defiantly had a full house, I couldn't believe how many people there were.





It was so nice that Wade, Weston, and Juliene's families came.



I sure love this girl and so proud of her!








It was wonderful seeing Preston and Sheryl...

Sarah, Mckinley, and Shayla...


Tricia and Nielie came out Sunday evening for a fun visit.  
Mckinley also shared pictures and talked more about her mission


Just missing Kaylin, Brandon, Cole, Kacie, Hanna, Valeda, and Melissa.




Sunday night Scott played cards with the boys while we were visiting with Tricia.  They had a lot of fun
Monday morning we helped clean up and then headed home.  We stopped at Raising Cane's for an early lunch.  I got this little cardboard boombox with my kid's meal.  Scott is displaying it with his phone. haha! We got home by about 5:00  It was a fun little trip
