Jason and I

Our whole family - love them so much!

All of my siblings - 

it means so much that they could all be here for this special occasion to support Hayden!

After the ordination, we all enjoyed peach cobbler that Jason made in the dutch oven.  It was so yummy!

We visited . . .

enjoyed each other's company

and relaxed!

The kids all had a great time playing together!

I love this photo that my sister got of me walking Dad out to the car.  

My Dad is facing some medical issues . . . it scares me and makes me so worried!  I pray every day that he can have the strength to get better.  

It has been such a wonderful evening for Hayden!  I am so proud of him.  It won't be long and he will be taking off to serve the people of Peru.  I know he is going to be an incredible missionary! It was a good day to have a good day!
