Saying Goodbye....

We are so sad to say goodbye to our good friends the Brogans. They moved to Arizona due to a job opportunity that God brought their way, but we miss them ALREADY!!! The week before they took off we had a little gathering at Charlottes pool to send them off and we had 15 kids stirring up Grandma's pool while she is away. Pictured are Warner, Brogan, Jones, Nail, Carlson, and Melcher kids.

This is a photo from inside the new family room looking into our kitchen, on the right is the new half bath.

The new family room is on the right and the new master bedroom is on the left. Eventually....patio in between.

The new family room.

This is inside the house, looking into our old master bedroom, which will be the new craft-room/guest bedroom, and maybe eventually Courtney's room. This is the best photo I could get, sorry.

The Gomes/Jones Family adventures to Sunriver.

Photo opp. on the River, the beginning of our 2.5 hour hike.

Troy and the girls getting ready for a long scooter ride to the park. The rest of us drove the car.

The best part of vacationing together, is catching up over HUGE Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Mocha's.

The whole crew in front of the amazing house we got to stay in at Sunriver.

One last cuddle with Aunt Kelly before she heads out on her trip with Chad around the world. SIX months is a long time to travel, BUT what an adventure Chad and Kelly are headed on. We are very excited for them but we already miss them a ton!! Thanks for the call Kel. So weird to not be able to get ahold of you anytime I want. Makes me not take for granted the calls and conversations we do get. Love you lots Kel and Chad!!! Hope you are having a blast!
