Our long lost son is BACK!!!!

About 7 1/2 years ago we had the privilege of having Brandon live with us for a few months. He was fresh off his mission and needing a place to stay and he was a great addition to the family. Now he is married to a beautiful girl, Amanda, and has 2 adorable kids, Tessa and Cooper, and one on the way. They currently live in Texas and since he is between jobs and has the week off before he starts the next one, it was the perfect time to come see us....well really to see Mickey Mouse and Brandon's mom and uncle, but I am glad they had time to come stay with us for a little while.


The kids have LOVED playing with their kids. They have run through the sprinklers, played on the swing set, played play dough, bubbles, and Barbies. Then tonight we went to the beach! I am so grateful to see Brandon so happy. It's fun to see him as a dad and husband :)


I don't know why this picture won't flip...anyway I thought this was THE CUTEST little note that Emma wrote for Brandon and his family...it took her forever to write each letter a different color! So sweet!
