All the pictures were uploaded in the wrong order so I am going to just deal with it. This is a picture of Deryk, Aaron, Preston and VerLynn visiting. After we got home today everyone showed up to see Aaron. We were noticeably missing Spencers family (he had to work) and Tiffani's family (they are in Utah) But is was great to have everyone here.
This is Aaron with Preston, Kelsie, and Connor. All of them were born while he was on his mission. Oops, David is missing, he should be in this picture. But Preston isn't shown very well either unless you like the back of people's heads
Aaron and Preston
This is what the back seat of the car looked like the whole way home. We stopped at my Aunt Mildreds house in Knoxville on the way home and she had a bunch of heirlooms and other stuff to give me. We fit it all in and there was even room left for me to sit by the other door.
This is a very poor picture of the doll my Aunt gave to me and my sisters (don't know how we are going to split it in three). It belonged to my grandmother Fisher and is from the 1880's. It was so scary to pack up and bring across the country for fear of breaking it. But it made it all in one piece.
My Aunt Mildred, me and Aaron. (disclaimer, all of the pictures of me back east look really weird because my hair and the humidity didn't get along, the curl wanted to do it's own thing)
This is a picture of the three that were baptized the day after Aaron was released. We stayed so that Aaron could participate, he baptized the daughter, then he confirmed the son on Sunday. Aaron is in the back with what I thought were the two elders that stayed in the area, but one of them is a ward member (on the right) and I think the other one is an elder. I guess I put up the wrong picture. It was a great day and what a neat opportunity for Aaron to be able to be there at the baptism of the family he worked with. What a great ward it was too. We had a great time and enjoyed meeting the people. The all said how much they loved Aaron and what a great missionary he was.
The proud "other" grandparents, Eddie and Brenda Nevitt (oops, I just realized I should have permission before I post other people's pictures. Is it ok Brenda?)
This is VerLynn and Aaron at the mission home. He saw us drive up and came out to meet us. Notice the foggy look of the picture. There was so much humidity that my lens kept fogging up in both pictures!
Shortly after 6:00 this morning, Lori gave birth to Conner Farnsworth. Weighing in at 7lbs 2 oz, 20 1/2" long. Here are some random pictures of him and his family. Trevor's mom and Dad were there so I have a picture of them with Conner and Kelsie also. He looks a lot like Kelsie.
Seth was here yesterday while Spencer was working on a truck. He came in with a handful of "flowers". I asked him if they were for his mom, he said no that they were for me. I was instructed to put them in water so they would not die. Then he found the spot in the house (after searching for a few minutes) where they should be displayed. He kept smelling them and they would poke him in the nose. It was so funny. Then he told me they were sharp and that the water would change them so they wouldn't be sharp anymore.
I uploaded these in the wrong order so I will just go with it. Lori and Trevor and Kelsie came over last night and even brought dinner! Hurray for Pirates Fish and Chips! Kelsie is always so full of it and fun to watch. She put on my great big huge (we all know how big my feet are!) slippers and even got the right part in between her toes and started walking around with them on.
Seth and I tried building something with all of this. I am too retarded to figure out how to do it. Angie walks in and sits down and says "doesn't it go like this" and she was right and I felt stupid. Oh well, Never said my talent lies in figuring things out like that. I am good at making a mess though! (with a little help from my grandkids)
