Scones with Lybberts & Heinitz

We had the Lybbert & the Heinitz families for Scones tonight. It was so fun to get to know them better. They are some awesome families. We made and ate yummy scones!

And the ladies visited while the boys played some ball.

Goodbye to Seminary Seniors

Brett has really enjoyed this group of Seniors in Seminary this year. He had one last get-together at our house for Scones & Cotton Candy. Only a few could make it but we loved having them!! Good luck to them as they head off to College & Missions. 

Senior Scones

Brett is teaching the Senior class this year in Seminary. We had them over tonight for Scones. They are a pretty awesome group of kids. They cracked me up with slow-mo selfies pictures and their group basketball game in the dark. Funny kids!

"P" Scones

We had the Piersons and the Paynes over for Scones tonight. We love having people over!

Super Swag$ Scones: Trek Family Reunion

Our Trek kids really wanted to get together for a Trek Fam Reunion. We told them we'd have them over sometime for Scones. At the Trek Fireside a couple weeks ago, we set a date for tonight and decided we'd call it our Super Swag$ Scones. They're so funny! Quite a few of them were able to make it out tonight. Luv it!
We had a fun time making and eating scones with them. Jenny Sue & Emma Bob put on War paint. (flour streaks on their cheeks) They took their task very serious! LOL

We played Spoons! We did our Super Saints- Search, Ponder, Pray! Before each round. Of course, Big T won it all!

We took Fam pictures with our SUPER SAINTS sign!

And we even got to watch the Lunar Eclipse with them. (More on that soon) What a special group of kids! Luv them!

TREK FIRESIDE

Back on the 13th, we had a Trek Fireside at the Stake Center. They had some youth share testimonies. The "Company Captains" (Stake Presidency) spoke. We watched our Trek video- which isn't available yet because of song copyright issues. Bummer cuz it's SUPER awesome! And we got to visit with our Trek kids! We brought them a treat from us. They thought we are so cool! {Even some of the other kids from other families told their Ma & Pas- "Did you bring us something?" Oops! Sorry! We're just SUPER awesome like that! LOL

Aren't they just as darling in their regular clothes? ;) After the fireside, we got to see JoJo & Little Ricky who couldn't make it to the Scone Night. We haven' been able to get BubbaBob or Sarah Jo to anything yet. We'll have to work on them! Miss you guys!

Boy Heavy Scones

We have invited the Williams over for scones several times. Due to sicknesses and meetings and such- we've had to cancel on them repeatedly. Sorry! When it was clear that everyone was well today- we decided to finally make it happen. We also have wanted to get to know all the Heinitz clan (individually first- there's TONS of them!) so we invited Isaac, Alisa & Ruger over as well. So fun to get to know new people! However, my girls were quite a bit outnumbered! 2 to one actually. My son, though, was in heaven!!!! Thanks guys for coming!

Back to Scones

It's been a long time but we are back to Scone Night. We had the Strattons, the Paynes and the Stranges over. I love having people over!!  It's so fun to make scone dough and have everyone help make them. It's a perfect activity while people visit. Then you get to have a treat to end the night. Love it!

The Jackson Eight

We have meant to have all eight of the Jacksons over ever since we moved in. {We've had a few of them over at different times} Tonight was our lucky night! We were able to have them all over to make scones with us. So much fun!
Glory was so excited that she spent like 20 minutes in the window waiting for them. Silly girl!
The weather was amazing so the older kids spent most of the night out on the tramp. I tried to go take a picture of them in the dark. They were so hilarious acting like I was melting them with my flash. LOL In their defense--- it was SUPER bright! :)
The rest of the girls had a blast making scones and playing together. Abby was cracking us up with her "knuckles" and her destructive toddler behavior. Gotta love that kid!
The adults got to just sit (beside chasing Abby to rescue the kids craft projects!), snack and visit for hours. What a darling family! Thanks guys for coming! We adore you!

P.S. I totally forgot to get a picture of Kyle & Heidi while they were here. {What is wrong with me? ;}

I decide to just steal their photo from the dance last night. It's so stinkin' fun anyways. Perfect!

Primary Scones

January flew by so fast with "Christmas Recovery" mode & then a flu bug that the whole month felt like an anti-social month. [inert sad face] The kids have been buggin' us that we haven't been doing our Sunday Scone night. I have missed having people over. And I'm a little bummed that hardly anyone got to see how cute my house was decorated. Bummer! 

Tonight we got on the ball and invited over the Primary Presidency (including the darling music people) & their families. We see each other every week but it was so great to just hang out! Fun people! I adore them. {The boys went out to play on the tramp and I never got a picture of them. Oops!}

We are almost finished with our Primary Bulletin Board at Church. I have been taking pictures of all of us for weeks. Then making them look like Polaroid photos on my scrapbook program and adding names. It turned out so fun! I love that we get to see all the awesome people we have in our Primary in one place. Plus it is extra helpful as some of my Presidency learns the names of all the kiddos. I love pictures!!!! (Below) Here's the picture we took of our Presidency. We giggle every time we see it because of our drastic height difference. LOL Granted that I had to sink down a bit to hold the door open with my foot but it made for a pretty awesome picture. I love these ladies!!

Scones, at Last!!!

We have tried several times to get together with the Genger and Weaver Families.
We met the Gengers through football this past season. {Noah, Jenny, Jake, Clara, Cici and James} Noah was one of Justice's coaches and their son, Jake was the quarterback. I also became friends with Jenny through Crossroads (my gym). We have become quite the Zumba buddies! My three younger kids got to participate in the Wilderness Escape hosted by their church group back in October. The Genger girls do ballet with the Fife family. [small world] The two older Genger kids go to school at Montana City with our kids as well. [just not in same classes] I also had talked to Jenny about the Mama Rave and she got a huge group of friends to come. They are this amazing family!!! We just adore all of them. We've talked several times about getting together but it hasn't ever worked until now.
The Weavers [Jonathan, Emily, Makenna, Clara, Tyler and Lyric} are our neighbors across the street. We have met them a couple of times by taking treats over. They were actualy the very first people to bring us a treat and welcome us to the neighborhood.  They weren't able to come to our Block Party we had back in September. So we have been meaning to have them over forever. Such a beautiful family!
It also turns out that Jenny & Emily know each other.
We are so excited it finally worked out to get us all together. We had a fabulous time! I'm so happy to keep meeting such amazing people here in Helena!

WWW Scones

We had some awesome people over tonight for Scones. It wasn't intentional but it was a WWW night. We invited the Winwards, Weishaars, and Welchs. What amazing people we have met here in Helena! It was a bit like a 5th Ward reunion. LOL So much fun!

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!

Scone Night with the Allens & Posts

We had the Allen Family & part of the Post Family (her Hubby had to work) over for Scones tonight. We love that it's an activity AND treat all in one. So fun to get to know new people! Adore them!

Scones with the Coils

We have decided to make sure we use our new larger space to have more friends over. Tonight, the Coils joined us for Scones. So fun to have them over since they are so amazing about having people over to their place. Yummy!
