Mission accomplished

My brother came back!!! After two years in New Jersey serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he's come back to us! I was lucky enough to fly in about the same time that he arrived so I met him at his gate. (I'm such a cheater.) When I saw him, the first thing that I heard was this cute little woman telling me, "He's such a blessing!" Yes, ma'am, I'm aware. :) I am lame and proceeded to bawl and gave him a big hug. It was SO good to see him again. Oh, except for the fact that he lost a bunch of weight and I'm totally jealous now. We spent the weekend hanging out with the fam. Good times.Five Guys. My first time. (Did you all watch the special with a tour of Obama's White House and he took a trip to Five Guys? I thought that was hilarious.) This was approximately his first hour being back in Utah. We had to fatten him up a little. Not sure if you can tell but we are both absolutely EXHAUSTED in this picture so don't judge. We were both too excited to sleep! And he was sick the night before but we'll just say it was because he couldn't wait to see us.

He got to see this sweet girl for the first time. He's going to be the best babysitter!

Austin and Nicole with Erin. This picture is just too cute! Austin also got to surprise Nicole by coming home a day earlier than she expected. I felt kind of mean lying to her but it was totally worth it to see the look on her face when he showed up.My family thinks it's torture to put a headband on a baby but I think they are cute so I snuck one on her. She's adorable with it and you better believe this won't be the last one I put on her.

First summer BBQ at Karlee's with the whole family! It was so much fun. Later that night we played Nintendo until early in the morning. I sure miss my childhood.
