This Post Is A Long One!

It's been one busy weekend so far. Yesterday Ashley and her family surprised my mom and dad by coming down from Denver to the airport to pick up Dan. That lead me to the fact that Dan cam home from his mission yesterday.
This the first time Dan met Dallin. Dallin seemed a little unsure, but not as unsure as Sky. Shylar has never met Dan either and he wanted nothing to do with him.

Mom was thrilled to have Dan home.

Welcome Home!

Doesn't he look good!

Then this morning Lew went through the temple to take out his endowment. Russ and I went.

After the temple, Russ and I took Dallin on his first hike. We were so excited to try out the Kelty baby backpack.
Here we go. Off to the Water Fall Trail.

Dallin fell asleep a lot.

We made it!
(I didn't wear my retainer on this hike. I was afraid it would make my mouth too dry. So if you click on the picture to make ti big I think you can see my missing tooth. :)

What cute boys I have.

We made it back to the car, but not awake.

Dallin was so good and just looked around and talked. I am a little nervous because we've been home for and hour and his forehead along his hair line looks pinkish, like it's burned. I don't know how that's possible. I covered him in sunscreen and he wore a hat the whole time except for a few minute we were taking picture at the top and when I took it off when we got to the car to take the picture of him sleeping. Plus the carrier has a canopy that we had up. Hopefully he's not burned and just still a little warm from the hike.

Side note for any Davies relatives: We ran into Jake . He was hiking up when we were headed down. I'm glad he recognized me because I paying more attention to not falling on my butt than who else was around. He was with a girl named Alicia (I think that was her name). Anyone know if it's anything serious? She was a cutie!

Sorry this was so long. I couldn't decide which pictures to post, so I posted tons.

Very cute, Nic. Looks like the hike was fun! And thanks for posting pics of your family. I can't believe how old the boys have gotten! What's Candace up to?

Welcome home big "D". When does Candace come home? Jake is dating Alisha, I think they are a couple but that's about it, Jake doesn't talk much about his love life.

Yay!! Dan is home!! I saw him yesterday for just a few seconds. How fun that you guys had such a "spiritual" weekend, what with Daniel coming home and Lewis going to the temple. That is awesome. It was nice to see some pictures.

I'm with Celeste, I only met your brothers a couple of times, but I can't believe they are that old. I remember when one of them wasinto VeggieTales, of course you are never to old for Veggie Tales.
