Palmer Comes home From His Mission!

Palmer's last day in the mission field! They have fun traditions that they get to do in the last few days of their missions. 

Palmer has had a great experience with his mission president and his wife. He will miss them.

He has loved these people and this country

The Petersons came by the night before with a sign and some treats for Palmer. 

Brother Peterson test Hunter to see if he still knew the Plan of Salvation (he taught Hunter's church class when he was young).

Waiting for Palmer

He's home!!

I couldn't stop hugging him!

Palmer started crying when he realized he wasn't going to be a missionary anymore. It was heartbreaking. 

His new room! McKay put his doggies on the bed. McKay had watched them while Palmer was gone. 

Meeting Maggie

Palmer brought everyone presents!

We were in heaven having him home!

Hunter Grad Annoucement

 

Hunter Seminary Graduation

Hunter's seminary graduation and McKay's 8th grade formal were the same night. Also right when the grandmas were flying in to Georgia. Our sweet friends the Newmans went and got the grandmas and brought them right to the graduation and they got there right in time!

This boy never complained about going early before school to seminary. He was his class president this year and always had to be on time to choose the prayer, and he was. We are just so proud of him!

He had some great friends in seminary. 

He had amazing teachers. Brother Wernli and Brother Holthouse are just awesome. 

Sister Beal was his teacher sophomore year. 

Brother Kunz was junior year. He was so blessed with good teachers!

The group. 

 

McKay 8th Grade Formal

McKay's 8th grade formal was a busy day. The 8th graders only had to go to half of a day of school, so Blaze's mom picked them all up and they hung out playing all day.

I think they got out early because they assume they need to get ready. Since it took McKay about 15 minutes to get ready, the boys just played all day. 

He looked so handsome

These crazy kids. 

McKay's blue shoes were a highlight of the night.

We took all of the boys to Texas Roadhouse. The boys got their own table and the parents all had a table in another part of the restaurant so the boys could feel like they were on their own. It was fun to be with all of the parents!

The boys all said that the dinner was a highlight of the night.

The red carpet into Hendricks.

Officer Long is in all of the pictures...

From what I gather, they all talked, ate and took pictures all night. No dancing...
