"After the Wedding"

I have a deep love for the movie The Wedding Planner.

I love Jennifer Lopez' entire look from her hair, her makeup, her wardrobe, her job, her whole existence in that movie.

Oh and then Matthew McConaughey... Come on! He is so yummy in everything, but that movie especially.

And the city... I have always been in love with big city life. And San Francisco just has so much character - The hills, the architecture, the culture, all of it.

So, this movie I really just love.

While we were driving through the city, I couldn't help but think about this movie. I thought about if they did a sequel called, "After the Wedding" or "Three Kids Later."

My Sugar, just as dreamy as Matthew, and I, my makeup was a natural look like that of Jennifer's, could totally help with any of the movie ideas, creative input, writing, casting, wardrobe, makeup... whatever. We really could be the next J-Lo and Matthew. And our babies are definitely cute enough to actually be their kids in the sequel.

Getting the SCOOP!

Grandma and Grandpa are here and we couldn't be more excited to see them. 

"It's been a while, like forever," according to Afton. 

For FHE, I thought it would be fun to have my babies get to know their grandparents a little better. I wanted them to get a sense of who they are from their childhood experiences, favorites, loves, and fears. And what better way to get the "scoop" on them, then drilling them with questions while eating their favorite scoops of ice cream. 

We placed the scoops in a pile, face down, and each child would get a turn to pick. Whichever one they chose, would be the question the grandparent got to answer. 

They took turns and butted in on each other's answers, just like everyday conversation. 

Jocelyn used the times when Grandma was sharing her answers to steal her ice cream. Jocelyn had quickly finished her personal scoop of orange sherbet. But, grandma's strawberry was equally delicious.

Lots of laughter and memories shared

Then Jocelyn decided that she needed to eat my cookies'n'cream because I was busy filming. Little stinker.

Daily

She begs for science daily.

"I want it to be the summer of science even when it's winter time too."

"Dis is better than learning my letters."

"Vinegar stinks like butt momma, but I'm still lovin' it."

"Squirts and sizzles."

"You's have to use all your muscles."

"All done. Let's do it again."

Pick Right Back Up

Our husbands were dental school buddies. 

They were sort of forced into friendship because they had some key things in common. 

1. Both old as crap, in comparison to all the other freaking babies in their dental school class

2. Both LDS, and old as crap. The only other LDS classmates were just home from their missions because they were just freaking babies

3. Both dads of multiple kids, because they each were old enough to have more than one kid

Because of their forced friendship, the friendship of us wives was natural.

And then our babes' friendship was inevitable.
We had kids similar in age and they got along well. Like really well. Plus their kids weren't little stinkers, bonus. (Can't say the same for mine.)

And this weekend, it was just like the good old days. We were able to pick right back up where we left off 2 & 1/2 years ago. 

Husbands, good buddies.
Kids, best buddies.
Wives, just the best of the best.
