Geoff’s parents leave tomorrow for their mission to Laie, Hawaii. They will be teaching at BYU-Hawaii in the classroom, and in the library. Words can’t express how proud we are of their decision to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and leave the comforts of home. We will miss them tremendously.
What a beautiful and fun family the Tanners are! We laughed through this whole session thanks to their oldest son who just returned home from an LDS mission. It was a fabulous way to spend a beautiful evening.
In the Latter-day Saint faith, you are officially a member when you are baptized. For most kids who grow up in a Mormon household, this special event happens at the age of eight. My best friend Amy’s daughter Livi, chose to be baptized and I couldn’t be more proud of her. Amy asked me to take some pictures of Livi to commemorate the special occasion.
She has begged for an American Doll for two years now and we finally caved. I should post the video of her opening it. Priceless!
We decided on a water party since it was a friend party year.
We did tug of war over a sprinkler.
Then a rousing game of “Musical Towels”.
Followed by “Toss the Water Balloon”, which was more like “Can Anyone Actually Catch A Water Balloon”.
Geoff made a massive Slip N Slide which was a hit.
Lucy couldn’t handle it any longer, so we opened presents.
And had group hugs.
Then we fine-dined on hot dogs, watermelon, chips and lemonade.
And finished the party off with a Strawberry and Cream Trifle.
We love you Lucy!
