Farewell Party Jones

Jim & Beth went to the MTC in March and then came home to wait for their Visa to arrive. When it finally did arrive we got to get together for another Farewell party. We gathered on a Saturday afternoon at the Jone's.

The kids & teens played some Bocci ball.

The teens showed off their amazing cup stacking skills. Video below!

Carter had his tool  box out and was up to something fun.

The Goodrich's like to work, they are good at it too and they helped Michele finish weeding the sand pit.

The Goodrich kids know how to play at parties, unlike the adults...ha ha.

The kiddie pool came out and the little ones had a blast!





Mean while Grandma was hard at work.



So was Noelle.

Dean was busy cooking the grub.



The girls were showing me cute boys of on their devices. They have some handsome crushes!





Jaida added some bubbles to the pool....it quickly turned into a sudsy fun mess.

Lydia looking like a tom boy.

We forgot a swim suit for Lydia but boy did she ever look cute in those basketball shorts.



Fact:You are not a Goodrich Grandkid if you don't like Cheeto Puffs. (Blurry but cute.)

These girls LOVE em!!!!




It was Myranda's 13th birthday! She is officially a teenager! She is awesome and we sure LOVE this girl. It was fun to celebrate with her.

Lydia and Allie are finally forming a precious little friendship. They are a year a part. I am glad Lydia has so many sweet cousins to play with.

One day I asked Allie what she liked to play with....I said, "Do you like Barbies, Pony's, dress up clothes....etc." She raised her eye brows at me and replied, "I like motor cycles." I was laughing.







Wayne showed us his new house for building......which is no longer in the works because they are staying put.



Kaneesha showed off on the pogo stick. Woo woo!

We played a big and hilarious game of Volley Ball. I don't think my team was on our game....we had some funny bloopers....except we didn't have a camera filming us thank goodness. It was a lot of fun though and my stomach hurt from laughing so much.

We enjoyed another beautiful sunset at the close of the day.






Before we said our goodbyes we kneeled in family prayer. The spirit was thick and special. We sure miss these two a lot already. They are the glue that hold this family together. The kids did the math and were telling us how old they will be in 18 months. Lydia will be 6! Everyone is going to grow and change so much.
