Okay, some moments in life are REALLY JUST AWESOME. This was one of those moments/days/weekends!! :) What pure joy filled our hearts when we watched this boy, who is now a man, come through those gates at the airport. Words just cannot express how much we love him and how happy we were to see him after two whole years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a great day!!!!
 |
| Lindsey, Katie, Ellie and Cosi worked so hard to make this awesome banner for Matt! :) We were so excited all day Friday, we cleaned the house, made goodies, and got ready ALL day long...we even put some finishing touches on the basement!! :) |
 |
| Yeah, this moment literally took my breath away. I was crying so hard that I hyperventilated. I think Matt thought I was having a seizure... lol.... But I truly was just THAT happy to see him!! |
 |
| Ellie couldn't stop the "happy tears". It was so sweet! She was just SO happy to see Matt! |
 |
| I would like to say that seeing these four together again just warms the cockles of my heart. These girls have read every single word of every single email and have absolutely loved having a missionary brother that they can be so proud of. What a blessing Matt's mission has been for his sisters! They love him SO much! |
 |
| This picture truly says a thousand words... I adore this shot! |
 |
| The whole family came over to greet Matt Friday night right after he was released by the stake president. I think we had 35 aunts/uncles/cousins there that night. It was so wonderful to be reunited. |
 |
| We got up early Saturday morning and drove down to Las Vegas, after stopping in Cedar City to see Grandpa... It was great to see all of our good friends that we have missed so much. Lisa McIntyre was SO gracious to host an open house for Matt and Trey. It was wonderful! |
 |
| Matt here with sweet Mickey Sorenson who faithfully wrote Matt and Trey throughout their missions. She is truly a hero of mine. I love her! |
 |
| Debbie, Cheri, Cosi, Brynne and Caitlin all traveled down to Las Vegas with us to hear Matt's homecoming! It was SOOOOOO nice of them!! We all stayed at Rich and Heidi's house and had a blast hanging out with their family!! Thanks so much for housing us all!! It was so much fun!! Maddie, Lindsey and Katie did the musical number for Matt and Trey's homecoming. A violin/cello duet with Maddie accompanying on piano. They did such a great job!! Maddie worked so hard to learn the piece! We appreciated her sacrifice so much. She did an amazing job!!!!!! :) What an awesome day! |

 |
| It was so great that Trey and Matt could have their homecoming reports on the same day. Trey has been such an inspiration to our family! We love him so much and are so excited for these two boys to live here this semester! :) |
 |
| The cousins reunited and it feels so good! :)) |
