Stephanie, Del, Trudy, and Spencer - Holding up signs to welcome Nate home!
Cooper and Jen
Landon was a little crazy with his sign. He was hilarious!
The boys decorated their own signs this morning while we got ready to go to the airport.
Kristi, Derek and Baby Jackson Judd
Just about here...
Mom get the first big hug!
Yeah! We are all back together again!
Spencer & Nate - He has been waiting for 2 long years to see his Uncle Nate get home from his mission. He prays each night that he will be able to serve a mission in Texas some day :o) The other day we were driving around and I pointed to the missionaries riding their bikes down the street. For no reason I started to explain that missionaries always have to be with their companion.... You're never on your own - you always serve with someone else etc. Immediately Spencer started crying and asked his what was wrong. He said, "But I really want to go to Texas on my mission and not everyone will go to Texas." Some how he thought by having a companion it might mean he would have to serve somewhere else. I assured him that had nothing to do with it and for the time being said he could continue to plan his mission to Texas. I hope by the time he reaches 19 he either goes to Texas or realizes that any place is just fine :o) I love you cute Spencer guy!
Spencer, Nate & Kristi
Nate has been a huge example to the boys! Landon really was too young to remember Nate before he left, but he was excited for him to come back!
Mom, "Elder Roberts" - for one more hour, and Dad
Elder Roberts and Future Missionary Baby Judd

Siblings :o) We were all trying to stand on our tip-toes cuz Nate is so darn tall. He grew on his mission - I think he said he measures 6'4"
