Fun week filled with family

This past week my brother in law Brent returned home after serving a full mission in Puebla Mexico so family flew and we had a blast together. The above picture was the night before Brent got home and we found these cowboy hats in the attic so we thre them on and had a photo shoot. It was so much fun.
Here we are paining the giant welcome home sign.
We were having some controversy on what vehicle Brent got to ride home in so Dana came up with the brilliant idea that we rent a big van so we can all ride in the same vehicle for the day. So here we are in the big van going to the airport to pick him up.
Brent coming off the flight and in for hugs!!

First time Max and Brent got to meet......

Spending some quality family time that night

Playin a little nintendo wii tennis

Dennis and Carole got Max the sweetest toy he's ever owned and he absolutely loved it! He would stand behind it and walk pushing the car forward and get going so fast until he would lose control and just fall, then he would get back up and keep going.

Through the next week we did a lot of fun things, here we are visiting Snoqualmie Falls with everyone
Brent and Max are getting some bonding time :)
Michael flew in from Boston to see Brent.Max trying on some sweet hats at the mall.
