Justin's Big trip to Idaho

Justin came to visit us in Idaho. First of all because he loves us and second of all to see if this would be a place he would want to go to school. So of course while he was here we wanted to show him a lot of the fun things we do around here. One of our first stops....Big Juds.



The last time we went to Big Juds (when Tracy and Raymond came to visit us) Brandon Finished the big burger so his picture was on the wall!





What else besides rock crawling would we do when Justin came to visit!



We stopped and took a lunch break. While we did the boys had fun playing catch.




Then we took him to the Civil Defense Caves.







We took him to Jackson Hole and the Teton National Park, and Yellowstone National Park all in the same day!

We stopped at a thrift shoppe in Jackson Hole and my brother bought these jump soles. I don't think he has worn them since.








Boys will be boys



While we were driving we saw this little guy lying by the road, so we stopped to check on it. I am pretty sure he thought Brandon was his mama. It was sooooo cute!






Justin was so sweet the whole time he was here! We loved having him. He was the best helper elf ever! Every time Brandon and I would leave for class, when we came home the dishes were done or the floor was swept! It was so fun having him come visit us!

Jason's Big Farwell

We said goodbye to Jason way too many times. I think he just wanted to keep making us cry. We said goodbye to him at least three times!
His brothers came out to pick him up so we went on an off roading and shooting trip.

As you can see the boys were loving it!


Then Brandon's truck broke! The fan exploded! It was such a bummer. So we decided to make the best of it and start our shooting trip right then. Brandon towed us home with his four runner.






I think Ina's favorite part was the bug zapper! He loved that thing.



These boys are hard core!


This was the next big activity we did for Jason's going away party. We went off roading at night and Jason really wanted to get sprayed by the mud. He got out of the truck and stood by a puddle and we drove by him really fast and sprayed mud all over him! He "Loved" it.

He looked like the swamp thing!

Brandon and Brandon were proud owners of some very dirty vehicles!
We seriously took Jason to a car wash to clean him up! He was disgusting!


We also had a going away volleyball party for him too. The only sad part was that Jason had just broke his foot so he didn't even get to play.

This was the big farewell party my mom threw for him. A bunch of us drove down from Idaho to listen to his talk. His brothers and family came too. we all love Jason!
They even did a special Hakka performance for the party. It was awesome!


After his farewell talk all of the boys took off their ties and gave it to him for his mission. It was really cool. It was the white version of the Samoan lays.


I love these faces!



Grandma Brown and I

Good Luck Jason! We love you and are praying for you!
