Farewell Time....

Sunday was mom & dad's farewell......They did such an amazing job speaking, and I am so proud to call them my parents! I've said this before, but the missionaries, members, and basically everyone in Fukuoka are so lucky to be getting my parents for 3 years! After singing, speaking, crying, and sharing their sweet testimonies with us, we headed to their house for a Partaaaaay! It was so great to visit with family and friends, and the rain, thunder, lightning and wind didn't stop the good times. What a great day!!

I've posted all 113 pics I took of family and friends on facebook.

Thanks to all who came and helped, it was a perfect day!

Breakfast & Tree Climbing!

Saturday Morning my in-laws took us to for some breakfast at Mimi's....so yum!

After breakfast we hit Costco to pick up the food for mom & dad's farewell...while dropping it off, the girls figured they should climb some trees.

Ward Camp Out!

Friday night was our ward camp out, and we decided to make the trek to our stake property and enjoy the festivities. Since we own NO camping gear, we only ventured up for the night & headed home after dark....we had so much fun w/our ward family! The rain didn't stop anyone, what an awesome turn out....with great food, great company, and good times!

Last Day of School....

Today was the last day of school for the girls! My oh my have they changed! They are turning into young ladies and I want them to stay my babies!! Yet, I love that they are getting old enough that I can be their mom and their friend. I love hanging out with them, chatting with them, and hearing all about their likes and dislikes!

June 1st

The Margetts side of the family got together for dinner and some recreation at the park, one last party before my parents leave. We enjoyed ourselves until the rain hit....hard!

We didn't let the rain stop our fun....we just moved the party to Arctic Circle for some ice cream!

June 2nd

Field trip #2.....the awesome ZOO! Lucky for me, the school doesn't allow siblings on the bus, so Jack and I followed the bus, dang it! Then we enjoyed ourselves some sun, animals, lunch, and fiddy thousand kids!

Paige performed in a play with her class.....she was the narrator, she was awesome!

Another exhausting day for Jack!

June 11th

Today Jack and I helped with 'field day' at school. Tomorrow being the girls last day, they were supposed to enjoy 'field' activities, get hosed down by a fire truck, and Popsicles. Since we are having lovely June weather, field day was held indoors, but we made the most of it! (and no fire trucks)

And the day was topped off by Richelle, Mikayla and I getting make-overs at Nordstrom.....gotta love MAC!! We didn't think to take pictures of us til I was dropping them off in the driveway....it works! Doesn't our make-up look HOT??
