Random people wait with all the balloons!

There were originally 24 but 2 popped before he came out!

My little brother Daniel returned home from his mission on February 12. He served in the Idaho Pocatello Mission. He was supposed to be home on February 11 but due to the CRAZY snow we had that day he was stuck in Salt Lake for a day. He was not a happy camper. These are a few photos of us at the airport.

Breil soccer

Breil started soccer this month and his first game was today. He is way more aggressive with soccer than he was with basketball. He had a good time! We have no idea if he even won but a lot of fun was had!

Snow...snow...snow!!!!!

On February 11 DFW received a large snowstorm. It snowed from 5am on the 11th straight through to 3am on the 12th. It was real snow too! Not sleet (which is our normal snow). DFW airport measured 9.2 inches of snow and our city measured 10.75 inches. It was record breaking and a lot of fun. Jared HATES snow so he was a little bit of a scrooge about it but I grew up in TX and understood the kids excitement so we had a good snow day. We built snow forts and snowmen and had a huge snowball fight. It was a lot of fun. Even today, there is some snow in my front yard. My favorite part though was that all the schools canceled so I had Jared home for 3 and a half days in a row! This NEVER happens. He works six days a week so I usually dont get more than 1 day in a row. I loved it! Here are a few pictures I managed to take. Jared took some cool shots of the snow that he will probably post on his blog as well.
