Returned with Honor!







So we have been a little slow in posting thing this summer... We have just been too busy to sit in front of the computer.  But we decided that we would work really hard today to get it all down for posterity sake...

On August 2, 2011  we boarded a jet plane headed for Indiana.  Uncle Caleb was going to be coming home the next day from his Mission in Brazil.  Here are some of the fun things we did while were were there.  

Here we are waiting for Uncle Caleb to arrive.  Grandma bought us some popcorn so we wouldn't get hungry while we waited...


Is he here yet?


Here is Aunt Amy and Aunt Erynn.  Baby Olivia and Baby Greta can't wait till he gets here.... 


The suspense is killing me....


Hi Olivia!


So cute, still waiting...


Thank goodness we had popcorn to get us through


American Airlines Flight 3517, On Time... shouldn't be here by now?


Greta fell asleep waiting...


Amelia found a comfortable spot to wait on Uncle Chris' head...


Daddy and Landy are all ready.


I made him a sign... Only the people behind me can read it.



Grandma and Papa couldn't wait for him either...

Wait for it... Wait for it...


Is that him?  YESSSS!!!  Here come the Hugs.  The cool thing was that he had NO idea that we were all going to be there waiting for him.  He just thought that Grandma and Papa would be there.  
We tricked him good!!!





Yes, that is a tear you see.  He was just so overcome with emotion and the joy to be home and that we were all there.  




Come on Uncle Caleb, lets get your bags.  I know exactly where to find them. 


Daddy just wanted to give him a big ol' kiss.


So glad that Caleb is home.  I just love him!  


Greta sleeping. Shhhhhh


 While we were in Indiana we went to a Dairy farm and learned all about how cows make milk.
  It was so much fun!


They even let us ride one... OK it wasn't real, but it was still fun to pretend.


Water???  I thought that this was a Dairy Farm, should milk be coming from this fountain?


There was so much to do and play with.  I got to ride this train all by myself.  


Landon's new trick...



 We had so much fun on the trip that the only time we wanted to sleep was in the car.  I stayed up till midnight almost every night!  


Mommy tried to take a picture of this cool car as we were driving by it.  She only got the front half, but Aunt Erynn managed to only get the back half.  We need to get that from her and photo shop the two together to make a full car!


The best place to nap!


Uncle Seth let me drive the lawn mower.  SOOOOO FUN!!!


Man your finger tastes good!

Papa took me fishing while we were there.  He made me this awesome fishing hat.  I just love it!!!

 Landon and Uncle Caleb


Here I am holding the pole all by myself.


I got one!!!  



Now what do I do?  Papa you take care of it... this granola bar tastes better than the fish!



Love Grandma C.!!



So Greta and I were the only two who would sit long enough to get a group shot.  Yep, so sad that we were able to get anyone else in the picture.  Oh well! Maybe next time.


Don't worry Greta I will protect your eyes from the flash!


I don't understand why you guys think that this phone is difficult to use.  You just go like this...


Flying home...

We were so slap happy from our trip this is what happened....
