He's Home

Steve is back! We have all been so anxious for him to come home from his mission. Two years has seemed liked FOREVER! It was so exciting to watch him come down the stairs at the airport. He looks great! It was the first time Steve met Haley, and my older brother's little boy Gavin. The kids fell instantly in love with him. And the brother's/brother-in-law got him right into action. There were plenty of games to watch on T.V., ping-pong challenges, some tennis tournaments, and Scott organized a flag football game for Saturday morning. Nothing like getting the body back in to shape! We love Steve and are so happy to have him home!

That is so exciting and fun that he is home. I really do love seeing missionaries fresh off the plane. It is so great! Welcome Home Stevie!!

Obviously since my husband is born and raised in Phoenix we are huge Suns fans and I have to admit that when Steve Nash got traded here your brother is the first thing I thought of. He seemed so little in my memory though, I can't believe he is home from a mission!

Hi Angie,
This is Nicole Holland. I don't know if you remember me but we lived above you guys in Provo years ago. I randomly found your blog which is weird and I was looking through some old papers yesterday and found your name and address on a paper when you guys moved to California. That is funny that you guys own Golden Spoons because we own Subway Sandwich franchise's. You will have to check out our blog to see if you remember us. It is hollandfamilyblogspot.blogspot.com.

Ang-
I am so excited for you- I know ljust waiting for one more- she'll be back in March! I love that Tyler was a fireman and that he wanted to put out the California fires! I love it! And Haley sounds like me as a little girl...there was no such thing as too much purple eye shadow!!!!
By the way, I tagged you on my blog and hopefully you don't mind but I think it would be really fun to hear six things about you! I can't wait to read about it!

I can't believe he is old enough to be coming back from his mission. It has been forever since we saw you guys last.

Welcome home Stevie!

Mary and Ryan said...

WElcome home! Wow, I just remember him as a little kid. I always think everyone else stays the same age as I get older.

Holland said...

Angie thanks for writing back. I didn't know if you would remember us. So where are you guys living now? If you do come in to Utah it would be fun to get together so let me know.
Your kids are so cute, and love the name Hailey we were deciding between that and Sophie but decided on Sophie. Oh and congrats on your third that is very exciting.

That is so exciting...nothing is better than seeing them for the first time in 2 yrs! We are counting down the days until my little bro comes home. I can't believe they are even old enough to be home from their missions!! Crazy!

Tanner Family said...

I'm feeling a little neglected that I haven't heard from you on my blog! Where are you!

Mary Stuart said...

Hey Angie! How exciting you are pregnant! That is probably last weeks news but I am a little behind! Congrats on the bro home!
