The moment we have been waiting for..... LONG POST AHEAD!!!

We had no warning... Ryan's plane landed at 2, so we were expecting maybe like 10 minutes waiting, nope not Ryan it was like two seconds later, he walked around the corner and shocked us all... We didn't even have time to make a video.. Sorry Lori! :) And they aren't in any particular order:)

Quinny is sooooo excited to have Ryan Back:)

"Your married... that's wierd"

"are you kidding me?" (ry's impression of Kevin on the office)

Checking out the shoes....

The whole James Family is back together again!!!!!

The girls put up cups on the overpass on the freeway for Ryan

'

It is sooo good to FINALLY have him back.   He hasn't changed a bit... Literally!

PS thanks to "Missionary Moments by Ashley" for our pics- you're hired!  We will totally advertise...Thanks Ash for taking over the camera for me!

SLC International....get ready for the James Family!!

Hey-----guess where we are going in about 20 minutes?

We are headed to the airport to pick up RYAN!  We are so excited and so proud of his accomplishments as a missionary!  We can't wait!

Have you checked out the countdown lately?!

Just so you all know how excited we are for Friday....we thought we might need to post it!

Ryan will be coming home, landing at the airport at 2pm.  We are so excited for him to come home and are really proud of his accomplishments as a missionary!

Ryan speaks on Sunday, August 8th at 11:00 at the church near our house.

Here's a invite if you want to remind yourself...just click on it and print it!

We would love to see you!  We are going to have lunch after he speaks at the Hyrum City square.  (insert lame quote..."be there or be square" I can just hear Nicole saying how lame I am and that it wasn't really funny!)

If you want to be famous....

be involved in something that has a prayer in Spanish....and then stand up for a decision that had the best of intentions.

Today Fox 13 and ABC 4 News both interviewed my dad...he's famous!  During the Hyrum Patriotic program, the closing prayer was said in Spanish with translation in English.  Apparently there are quite a few people who aren't too pleased with it.  Someone told my Dad that he should get out of the country...well he doesn't even know Spanish-only speaks redneck-how is he supposed to survive outside of the good old USA-the land of the free where people fought for the freedoms that we enjoy.  It's really sad that so many people - who weren't even present for the patriotic program - can be so ignorant and hateful.  Thank goodness we all know what a good guy he is!  I'm just afraid the paparazzi are going to be chasing us now that he's a superstar...I'm going to have to get him a sweet disguise!  My mom is scared that everyone is going to want his body-look out Edward Cullen actor, Paul James is going to give you a run for your money!

The Ogden Temple-before they remodel it...

I haven't really ever looked closely at the Ogden temple, but a friend wanted a picture for her parents, so I took a few of the "old Ogden temple" before they remodel it.   The design is very interesting, all of the windows in the middle section reflect different views while you're looking at it in different angles like a mirror.  It's very pretty when you take the time to really look at it.  It will be cool to see the difference...

Apparently my parents aren't so good at making Gallbladders...

Poor Karly is joining the ranks of the gallbladder-less children in our family!  Becky and Nicole already are skilled at not having the good old bile collector but Karly will be new at it after Thursday! 

Too Bad this comic isn't true!  Don't we all wish that pain would be beneficial in the end?!

June Birthdays!!

Morgan is now 13... CRAZY, She is now an official teenager and she will be going to South Cache 8-9 Center in a few months... They grow up so fast!:)
