elder roylance!

As you may know, Derek's brother Mitch was on a mission in Mexico and came home on Monday. So here is what went down...
The plane schedule arrival time was 8:20. So we all piled up in the RV to head to the airport. And on our way, we got a phone call from a "fellow passenger". Someone who is flying with Mitch, he said that the plane is delayed and will land at 10:20! That's past my bedtime! ;)
We weren't too fond of the idea, but we couldn't turn around.
We had to make phone calls to all the family that were planning on being there, and then had to make a plan of what we were going to do for 2 hours.

Keston and I making our mean faces.

We ended up just hanging out at the mall until the mall cop and garbage man kicked us out. And then headed over to the airport, and it seemed like good timing because we only waited for about 30 min.

Here we are getting ready for his arrival.

Derek and his cousin Riley. He leaves next week for his mission in West Virginia.

Can you see him??

Mommy and Son hug.
Keston was so excited!

And so was Derek!

The whole family.

So last night Mitch said he had gifts for all of us. And look what we all got! He also gave some other sweet gifts. I got a sweet authentic blanket (the one on my lap).

The brothers. Derek didn't get the memo to wear white shirt and tie :).

Well it overall was a great experience. Great to finally meet my other brother in law. Glad he's home safe and sound. Now let's hope he can get adjusted to the "normal" lifestyle.
