Days before departure

We spent the last few days before Jason left for his mission together as his family as Allison and her family came in from Denver and Melissa came down from Salt Lake City.  We had a great time together and below are some pictures of the things we were up to...

Allison made us a full size replica of Jason for us to have while he was gone, as you can see we had alot of fun with it and it looks remarkably like him.  Eddie dislikes it intensely and runs from it whenever it gets near him  :)  Under his face is the face of George W Bush, but we like Jasons face better!

Sometimes it is hard for some to believe that Jason is a full time missionary...

 

 

Jason played alot with his nephews who will change alot while he is gone...

 

 

We celebrated Kelly's birthday a few days early so Jason could be there for the bash...

We also played alot of Apples to Apples which seemed to be the game of choice that weekend, watched about every minute of family movies taken since the kids were little and Jason watched his last movie "42" which he has been looking forward to for a long time.

We will miss Jason but we made alot of good memories as a family and he is ready to go forth and serve!
