Pie Night 2016

Pie Night 2016. Thanks to the Tubbs, Bywaters & Guymons for hanging out with us and eating pie. (& brownies) Grateful for you all in our lives!

Guymon's Boat

Liberty & Katelynn Guymon are really good friends. They love to be together and they sure "get" each other. Two weird ducks of the same feather!! They love all the same Anime stuff and seem to speak a different language when they are together.
The girls decided to hang out today. Then the Guymons invited our whole family out on their boat with them. We had a blast! Love friends that include us in their amazing lives! Thanks guys!

Fun on the boat:

Fun on the Raft:

Cosplay Craziness

Liberty got together with some friends to practice for a skit they're going to do at the end of July at Nagu Con. (It's like a Comic Con but for Anime fanatics)
They crack me up! I think they're acting out something from Doctor Who.

Also she tried on her other cosplay for Nagu con as well. They are dressed up as characters from BBC Merlin.

Vegas Bowling

We had a Date Night to go do some Vegas Bowling tonight. Oh my Heavens! It was a blast! We had no idea what it was until we got there. Basically there are colored pins and if they come up in a special order, the lady calls it out for your lane AND you get a strike-- you win some money! OR if you leave only colored pins up- you get a quarter. We were rolling in the quarters, Baby! Jason even won $7. Way to go, Man! What a fun night! 

I loved our code names! The girls were ZBra, Booty, SxKtn, BtyJr. The guys were Cap, BooYa, Gimo, Hoyt and Footy. We are SOOOOO funny!

Minecraft Club

The Guymons let us know about an opportunity for Liberty & Katelyn to hang out together. So.... we dropped them off tonight at the Helena Library for a...

??????????????????????????????

When I picked them up, they went on & on & on about something that I totally didn't understand. Which in "Libelyn" or "Katerty" language means they had a fantastic time! LOL

Guymon Girlfriend Temple trip

Liberty's good friend, Katelynn just turned 12. For her birthday, she told her mom that she wanted to go do Baptisms for the Dead at the Billings Temple. AND she wanted Liberty to go with her. How special is that!?! Kaysie (Katelynn's mom) invited Liberty and me to make it a Girl's weekend.We had such a fun time!!!!
We got the girls out of school and took off Friday after lunch. Once we got down to Billings, our first stop was the Temple. It worked out perfect because they had a group of youth from Cody there already. The girls just joined them and got in right away. A member of the Temple Presidency took us aside and spoke to the girls about feeling the Spirit in the Temple. It was so kind of him to take an interest in our beautiful girls. It was so fun to watch the girls participate in the Temple. I am one lucky mom to have such a special, sacred opportunity to share moments like this with Liberty. Both girls didn't want to leave because of how peaceful they felt. I hope Liberty always remembers moments like this and continues in her desire to be at the Temple often.

Then, we took the girls to Barnes & Noble. They are both CRAZY readers so they were in heaven! Katelynn almost had her book done by the time we made it to dinner. During the rest of the trip, she read it a total of four times. See? CRAZY readers these girls are!!! Liberty was in a Sherlock Holmes mood and came home with some S.H. books that she's in love with!

We ate dinner... ok we STUFFED ourselves at Texas Roadhouse. It was so delicious!!! The joke for the weekend started here because Liberty confiscated ALLL the sugar packets they had at the table and anywhere else we went this weekend. Sugar Freak!! And Katelynn pretty much opened her mouth in every picture we took. These girls crack us up! They are two peas in a pod!

We headed to our hotel for the night. The girls read, swam, ate popcorn & hot cocoa and stayed up until wee hours of the morning!!! The alarm clock went off way too early for these late sleepers. LOL We did drag them out of bed for some breakfast though. It was yummy even if they were pretty much Zombies and a little short with their manners. ;)  

After packing up and checking out, we went shopping at Kohl's and then dropped the girls off to the Big Horn Waterpark. We were glad there was lifeguards because we weren't exactly sure if the girls would fall asleep and drowned somewhere while we were gone. LOL Despite the lack of sleep they were feeling, they had a blast!! But when we picked them up they were so zoned out we had to laugh. Oh, the price teenagers pay for late night partying! ;)

While the girls swam, Kaysie and I went and did a session at the Temple. It has been a very, very long time since I have done a session so it was extra special. I so needed to be there! How fun to be in the Temple and with good friends. Loved it! When we came out, it had snowed. It made the Temple grounds quite glorious! But it was so freezin' cold! Brrrrrr! Luckily, we picked up the girls and headed out so we could drive most of the way back with some daylight still left. We drove slow but got home safe.

What an amazing weekend! Thanks Guymon girls for including us on your special day. We luv you ladies! Happy Birthday Katelynn!

Guymon & Smith Scones

Scone night!!!!!
Tonight we had the great privilege of spending time with the Guymon and Smith Families. Amazingly fun people! (They must be related! LOL) We adore them all!

P.S. We've spent the last three days with Brooklyn so I asked her if she was just going to move in with us? She giggled and and told me "No!" (like I had a third eye!) LOL What a cute girl! Liberty was in heaven with Katelynn. It was a good night!

Guymon Boating at the Lake

Our friends, the Guymons invited us out for a boat ride this evening. We had an amazing time. They are so awesome to let us join in on their fun!!!
It was a perfect night to be out on the lake.

The kids LOVED tubing!

The water was a bit cold but they also did do some swimming (or peeing as the case may be ;).

To end the night, the Dads took a turn on the tube. They were awesome!!!

Thanks so much for inviting us! We sure luv you guys!
