A great Saturday

I do not have any pictures from Friday night, but it was significant, so I will add that really quick. Jade babysat the boys with her little friend from her primary class while Bill, Enos, Lindsay, and I went to see Dark Knight on IMAX. (which was awesome btw!) Leaving the boys with a 10 yr old and 11yr old for 4 hrs was a bit scary at first, but they did an amazing job. We paid Josh to be good, so other than Eddie's blow-out diaper, they all had a blast. Heading into the teenage years is sometimes stressful, but it sure has it's perks! Thank you Jade!!!

I have already done posts about some of my dearest friends, so knowing that I will repeat myself, here I go.... :)
Jamie is my oldest friend, since we were 1 yrs old. Our moms are best friends, and even though we only spent 5 years living in the same town, we have build a deep friendship that feels more like family and just as lasting. She and her husband, Tucker, live in CA, so we do not get to see them that often. One of the things I love about our friendship, is that our ENTIRE family are all friends together, our kids and our husbands. That's hard to find. I feel very blessed, that my two oldest and best friends in the world, have "significant others" who mesh well with mine. (Andrea, I'm still waiting for those pictures from your visit!)

We had a fabulous Saturday. Jamie and Tucker are here in Utah and came by for the day. As soon as the "half tour" of the house was done, the guys took off for a movie and lunch, while Jay and I stayed home with the kids. Like their last visit, Jade took over the kids so Jamie and I could hang out and talk. We love you Jade and appreciate you SO SO much!
She started out with painting flowers on all the pretty little nails she could. That's my artistic Jade!

Jade is like a big sister to Jamie's girls, Jordyn and Lexi. I don't think they mind one bit.
Josh couldn't take the nail painting, so he hung out with one of his buddies, Lego Indiana Jones.
Next, they moved the artistic groove they were on, into the kitchen. Jade made salt dough for everyone, and they spent the next hour making little treasures. Does my daughter rock or what!?!

Jamie's youngest, Peyton, is an absolute doll!

While the creations were baking, the older kids were playing with toys, while Peyton and Eddie played in his old Amby bed-turned-swing.
It was so nice to be able to just sit and visit the entire time. I LOVE having a daughter who can babysit!
Thank you for coming Jamie!!! I love you so much!!! I wish we could have spent longer together, but we had to head off to Bill's work BBQ in the evening. I am grateful for ANY amount of time we get with their family, it was a fabulous Saturday!!!
