July 2010 Elder Seth Jenkins returns honorably from Honduras!

This post has a WHOLE lot of pictures from our trip to NM this summer for Seth's homecoming. July 1st the whole family gathered to the Carlsbad Municipal airport (so tiny we got to wait outside for the plane to land which was very exciting!) Matt commented that the whole town showed up for the event.

Sitting Bull Falls. Asher is holding a tadpole or polliwog, I can't remember which.

Carlsbad Caverns Bat flight. No pictures allowed during the flight.

Muffin & Ridge on the 4th of July. Ridge was exhausted!


Asher loved having "spicy drinks" (soda) to his heart's content.



Returned missionary with 3 future missionaries. The only boys on the Jenkins side. (So far.)

My lovely sister Brenna and a black rat snake. (I believe.)

Partners in crime. This is Daisy and Ridge HIDING behind a chair getting into Sariah's cell phone & mascara (see Ridge's leg, D.'s arm.)
All the cousins minus Emmy snuggling together. Nice toes Lily!

Pizza party on the floor.


Headed back to Lees Summit, MO. It was a wonderful trip. I loved the feeling of having my entire family together for the first time in two years. Seth, thank you for your willingness to serve the Lord and the people of Honduras for 2 years. Our entire family was blessed b/c of it. Love you!
