Fathers Day was extra special this year because Bryton was able to share the day with us! Typically, he and Mykee arrive together but this year we thought we would try something new by staggering their visits, which gave us more one-on-one time with each of them. Anyway, his flight was supposed to arrive on Father's Day at 4:30 but was delayed 2 hours due to electrical problems. Poor guy had to sit in the plane on the tarmack for 2 hours with no a/c in the Arizona heat!!!! If it were me I am sure I would have melted. :) Luckily, the problems were fixed and he made it to enjoy his summer visit with us and attend EFY (can you believe he is almost 15?? AHH!!! ).
When he finally made it to the house he was a celebrity....all the kids LOVED having an older brother/cousin around, as you can see....
Bryton had a great time at EFY! For those of you who don't know, EFY is a gospel centered conveference that creates a setting where youth have the opportunity to develop spiritually, physically, intellectually and socially. I was able to take him to check in and get settled in his dorm. He roomed with his friend Collin from AZ. He met some great new friends and had a very memorable experience! He is looking forward to going again next year.
We miss you Bryton!
My good friend Allison was in town last week and was able to take these amazing pics of the girls. We had so much fun! We took these pics at Trolley Square and we had some people stop and ask what magazine these pics were for b/c I hauled up a few chairs, had snacks, drinks and was basically a maniac trying to get all the girls to cooperate at one time! I only wish Mykee could have been here too while Allison was visting so then I would have all my girls in it. Hmm.. maybe next year. :) Anyway, she is such an talented photographer!! I have had her photograph the girls since Alexandra was little. You can view her work here. I love these pics so much...I might have to dedicate one wall to all the tutu pics..I want them all! Enjoy some of the darling pics she took.
