Semper Fidelis

"Always Faithful"

 Sending Jb off to Parris Island so he could rough it with the Marine guys and play in the swamps was

a great excuse to throw a party - in his honor!!!  We also wanted to fill him up with many kinds

of good food since we all know those MRE's aren't very palatable.  :/  Here we are

getting everything ready!

 His sister did a great job with the cake.  She is so talented and artistic when it comes to baking!!!  I won't tell you how mouth-watering downright fabulous it tasted.

He appears ready to burst - like the balloon!

 We made a photo poster of the last several years of Jb's life  even though we knew he couldn't take it to boot camp with him.  That's ok because it'll be waiting for him when he returns.  He'll remember how much we all love him!!

 Everything's ready.  Just waiting for Jb's friends and family to arrive!!

 Let the party begin!!  Kyle has ARRIVED.

 The evening ended with a prayer blessing.  

What a wonderful and very appropriate wayto send Jb off!!
