Andy's in the Army now

My other little brother, Andy, (he's #5), joined the army last summer and has been in different trainings since then. His wife Bonnie Jean has been trying to sell their house and take care of other things so she can be ready to move to Colorado (where he will be stationed) when he is all finished. She been living in Provo for the last few months to be closer to family while he is away since she has a toddler that is just younger than Malia. My bro. was able to take an extended weekend to come out to go through the temple with Jon. He couldn't stay long enough to go to the MTC but it was great to see him anyway. This is their cutie AJ. Malia and him look like they could be fraternal twins. It's cute to see them together. Andy, Bonnie Jean and AJ before Andy had to head back.

We tried to do a group shot, thought the couch was best place for it, as you can see, we are a close loving, all over each other family. They are great.
