Goodbye Lovelands–Part 1

This week was the last week before our friends the Lovelands moved to Utah.  We tried to spend a lot of time with them this week, which made it a busy but fun week.  On Monday night, I helped host a goodbye bbq for them at the park.  There were over 200 people who came to say good-bye and wish them well on their new adventures.  I made a bunch of cookies that day, then helped stock the table the entire evening.  I also tried to take pictures throughout the night for them to put in a memory book and take with them (my friend Gina put that together).  It all went well except for a water shortage around 7:00, so I had to run home and refill the big water pitcher again, but other than it, it all went smoothly.  Shane helped out with the photography too, so there are even a few shots of me in there.

My friend Kara got these fun balloon bouquets for the tables.   James, Davis and Isaac had fun sneaking off with them as the party ended.

James deciding it was time to pull his pants down (a regular occurrence, which doesn’t seem to be ending anytime too since it makes his brothers laugh hysterically), and a picture of Landon, Davis, Eve, Luke, and the White children playing in the sandbox.
