Welcome Home!

Brandon's little bro served a 2 year mission in Tallahassee, FL and came home last week. It’s been so good to see him. I was in charge of the banner and I don’t mess around with banner making. I KNEW that my cheerleading skills would come in handy one day (it even sparkled with silver glitter!).


His mom was a tad on the excited side so the whole fam ended up holding the ginormous banner for 1.5 hours in the middle of McCarran.

It was worth it though…


Yay! Welcome home Colton!

Oh, ya know I love to show off, I made these for his little homecoming party…


Oreo Truffles, delish!

Ha ha! I can just picture you and Brandon waiting in the airport holding the banner... ha ha ha...those truffles look really good. When the heck are you coming to Utah?

Celeste said...

Yeah, when are you coming to Utah??

I love those Oreo truffles! I just made them a couple weeks ago. Sooooo good! And I saw from your last post that you have also made the cake pops, which are also delish!

We miss you guys and CANNOT wait to see you at the reunion!!

By the way, GO FALCONS! (for old time sake)

Is there anything you can't make or do? Seriously though? Remember how we are going to be neighbors? How fun is that! Can't wait for you guys to come back!!!

He looks great! I love your sign :) Very big, too, that's nice! I LOVE those oreo truffles. I need to get the recipe. I'm supposed to email my friend for it, but I lost her address. It's probably better this way. My butt would pay for it if I had the recipe:) haha!

Oh girls! Thanks for your comments. I love them! We're trying to plan a trip to Utah, maybe next weekend. I need to see BOTH of your sweet new babies! Emily- Brandon is flying back to move us on July 24th. Maybe Bob will be around for some heavy lifting? Yay for neighbors! Taralee- make the truffles! The recipe is on www.kraftfoods.com or on Bakerella.

You've been voted to make Michelle's banner when she comes home! I know you won't be here but you could come back just for that!!! It looks amazing! Also Tammy had to go hear his talk so I went with and he did such a great job. She was pretty happy she went because he showed her a picture of he and Michelle together, it made her day!
