Welcome Home Tiffany and a fun weekend

Hooray, hooray! Bryson's younger sister, Tiffany, is finally home! She served her mission in Londrina, Brazil. We are all so proud of her and very happy to have her home. She looks so cute and talks with an awesome accent now.
Here we are with her at the airport. The welcome party included "Called to Serve" being played by saxophone and kazoo's.




Some of the decorations we made included a balloon arch and giant banners, but we didn't anticipate the crazy wind and storms last week... it made decorating a bit trickier.




In addition to Tiff's homecoming (and birthday party), I also had my first race this weekend. Crystal and I are training for the Baltimore marathon next month, and I thought it might be a good idea to get some race expierience before the big one. So, when some girls in my ward called to ask if I wanted to do a relay marathon with them, I thought that would be a great opportunity to see how these things work. It was a smaller race, and there are 5 people per team, so I only had to run 5.2 miles. It actually turned out to be a lot of fun, especially because my sister in laws, Tiff and Summer, came along to cheer me on.

After the race on saturday morning, we went over to Bryson's aunt's house for the big game. BYU absolutely killed UCLA, which couldn't have made Bryson any happier. I got a few pictures of Davis walking, since I still don't know how to put videos up here.

congats. You should be proud of yourself. you are lucky out there. Here they will not let you listen to anything while in the race. I guess it is some kind of safety thing. By the way, your arch looks awesome.

Cute pictures. Way to go-- I'm still impressed that you're becoming an avid runner. It inspires me to do something exciting after the baby is born.
