Mission Farwell June 26, 2011

We had so many family and friends come to support us and wish us well. We fed at least 145 people and I feel so bad I don't have any pictures of my fabulous students that came because I videoed them instead. But there was a lot and they made me so happy. It was a wonderful day.

These awesome boys are friends of JD growing up but I know Bruce and I both claim them also. Now they have these cute families and we were so pleased that they came to our home.

Day 3

We spent Saturday at Willard Bay. The weather was perfect. JD and Catherine were nice enough to take us all boating, they were so patient and everybody got more than enough turns doing whatever they wanted. Johnny rented a surf board thing that was super fun and everyone enjoyed. The kids loved the sand and just playing all day. It was fabulous!

Day 2

We filled this day with good food, swimming, games, playing, bike rides, crafts, make-overs and glitter toes.

Hot Tubbing again and more just hanging around...

That night we played Minute-To-Win-It. It was so funny and way fun, what a great memory.

Later the kids had a little dance party and Jake showed us his Tae Kwon Do routine.

The night ended with more games, and a little wrestling. Taylor's parents went to bed and she got to stay up as long as she wanted, she was so excited.

Day 1

We had a little family reunion. We rented an enormous home in the valley for three days. We started the weekend with family pictures. Then we went to lunch at Golden Coral (the grand kids favorite), and then bowling. Next we headed up to the house and settled in. Kery ran around the house exploring and then asked were the toy room was, he is so cute. As soon as we got there the kids needed to swim, the hot tub was a big hit. At dinner CJ said the prayer in his deep voice "Thank you for grandpa, Thank you for my bran new house, Amen" and then we ate.

Trigger got a little black eye when Josie was trying to bath her tractor and threw it in the tub while he was bathing.
