Goodbye Jeffrey!

Our little Jeffrey went on his mission to Leeds, England on June 5, 2008. For those of you who have known my family for awhile, Jeff has always been our baby, but as you can see, he is now a grown up, handsome missionary.

But he'll always be a little boy to me

Jeff and his buddies








Our last hurrah! We took a trip down to St. George with the family before Jeff left. Here we are at the sand dunes.






It is so crazy that our little Jeff has gone. It was really hard to say goodbye. He is such a huge part of our family and it feels so empty without him. Plus, in most of my past experiences, I never really see missionaries again after I say goodbye. Ha ha. At least I know that won't be the case this time. I love you Jeff!

I can't believe that little Jeffrey is all grown up! Where has the time gone? It was so fun to see those pictures of him when he was little because that's exactly how I remember him. My little bro comes home from his mission in Mongolia next month. Can you believe little Tay Tay is 21? Jeffrey will be home before you know it. Hope your cute little family is doing well.

Oh little Jeffrey! I love those baby pictures. He really was the cutest kid. I still remember him that way too! Three weeks down. A million more to go. :(

Hey there! I can't believe Jeff is going on a mission. I think I started to hang out with you when he was about five or six years old. I wish we could have gotten together also. We are now living in a new town in West Virginia, so life is a little crazy. We are going to move back to Utah our fourth year so hopefully we can get together next year. Chaney
