Jed's Last Week

Sorry, I haven't been updating this like I should. We've been keeping busy and doing fun things together but I haven't been taking my camera to show any pictures of our little adventures. This was Jed's last week with us. Today is a sad day for us because Jed left early this morning to report to Basic Officer Training in Alabama and we won't get to see him for 92 days (yes, we're counting down the days). We've been so busy trying to get everything ready for him that we haven't really been able to do many outings this last week.

We were able to do a couple of things though. We had to go to base (Hill AFB) a few times to get Jed supplies and while we were looking at houses on base, Jed found this super cute splash park across the street from the houses. The kids love it! Elijah asks to go every day. Chloe is still unsure about it, but she loves to play in the frog misters and the drain (go figure).

During the week we went to a farm with Jed's sister, Bonnie's, family and his mom and grandma. Elijah loves playing with his cousin and he was so excited to see all of the animals. Chloe likes to watch them but doesn't like to pet animals anymore. It was a fun day and just nice to go out and spend the day together instead of running errands and cleaning all day.

We did have a few family dinners that we went to and we had a farewell dinner for Jed on Pioneer Day (a Utah holiday) and we were able to finish the night with fireworks. It was a nice send off for Jed. (sorry no pics)

Jed's last day was spent running errands but he was able to play with the kids outside in the backyard a bit before he put them to bed.

 (Oh, and he cut his hair this week... this was not out of requirement but by his own choice)

We all miss Jed already. The kids really miss him. Elijah doesn't understand why he doesn't get to see him but hopefully it'll get better and easier after a couple of days. We love you, Jed, and miss you so so so much! But we are so proud of you!
