The Arey Family

This wonderful family moved in across the street from us a year and a half ago.

I took them to a nearby favorite spot for their family picture.Polly is the wife of Jordan and mother of these four lucky kids.
Polly is such an awesome friend to me, always ready to help my family in any way possible.
She's great at lending a listening ear and likes to surprise us with yummy homemade treats.

Jordan is a fun loving guy and my son's Young Mens President (youth leader) at our church.

Kaylee is always so sweet and kind to my girls.

She's like a big sister to my girls and has the biggest heart.

Carson is a very fun and energetic boy.

He loves to come over and play with Tyler.

They like playing sports in the backyard and 

learning how to draw on Art for Kids Hub.

Ethan is in Julia's preschool class.

He's got a great imagination and a contagious laugh.

 Brad is so fun.  He calls me "Lis Lis". 

This boy can totally keep up with the big kids.

 What good looking brothers!

 Don't worry!  I can tell when the kids are totally done being in front of the camera!

Girlfriends

 These four girls are great friends.

 These two pretty girls are sisters who live on our street.

Friends are fun!  

Check out all of the colorful details of their outfits 

they picked for themselves, right down to Julia's mismatched socks!  

Elder Jared Rodriguez's Mission Release

Elder Jared Rodriguez just completed serving a full time 2 year mission in Salt Lake City, Utah.

 The name of his mission was the Family and Church History Headquarters Mission.

Jared's parents and younger brother traveled all the way from

New York to pick their son/brother up from his mission.

The reunion hugs were so special.

This family was sure proud of their missionary.

They had matching Tshirts made for the entire mission.

Here is Jared and a few of the other missionaries that were released on the same day.

Jared's little brother, Gabriel, wore his "missionary tag" 

to church every Sunday while his brother was away.

Jared was super excited to show his family the inside of this building.

He worked here most days

A goodbye hug!

Here is Elder Rodriguez with some of the senior missionaries.

 Mom and Gabriel decide to rest their feet for a minute

 and snuggle up too.

 In honor of Elder Jared Rodriguez's mission release,

 they invited family and friends to join them for dinner at 

Jared's favorite restaurant, the Olive Garden.

Congratulations to the Rodriguez Family!

I'm so excited that you have your whole family home for Christmas this year!
