Jacob's Homecoming!

I can't believe that TWO years has gone by and
Uncle Jacob is HOME!!!
In one way it seems like he JUST left but
when I think about how young all the
nieces and nephews were it seems like
FOREVER ago!!
Here are ALL the nieces and nephews waiting
for their FAVORITE uncle to come home...
minus one niece...
Peyton "forgot" to get in the picture!! ;)
She was just patiently waiting to meet her
Uncle Jacob in her
"team Jacob" shirt!
The three kids in their Team Jacob shirts.
I'm not sure who was more excited to see him! ;)
Peyton was ALL smiles that morning.
... speaking of "all smiles!!"
Blake and Tate!
The moment we were ALL waiting for!!
(that lady had to turn around to see what
we were all cheering for!! ;)
The moment my mom (and I'm sure
Jacob) were waiting for!
As you can see Mason was RIGHT
there waiting for his big hug!! :)
Jacob showing off his new suit and
ummm pirate shirt?? ;)
Our family picture (plus Gwen ;) with him. Two years ago Kenzie
wouldn't leave Jacob's side... that morning she was
too shy to even look at him!! She has defiantly
warmed up to him now!
I can't even begin to explain what a GREAT
example Jacob is! He has seven nephews
from the age of 12 down to 5 that ALL
look up to him. He has grown and matured
SO much on his mission and I'm grateful
for the example he is to my kids.
WELCOME HOME JACOB!!
You were GREATLY missed!!

Holy crap! Has it really been 2 years?! That flew by! I can't believe little Jacob is all grown up. So weird. But also so great that he went on a mission :)
