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.

Invited to Party

I see so many pictures of friends attending glamorous parties on New Year's Eve, beautiful dresses, fancy suits, and glittering lights.

And we were invited last night to a fun party. In fact, we've been invited the last 2 years in a row by good friends who want to include us.

But somehow, we've declined. Alright... it's so true that we would love to at a fun party with our fun friends. But... we've got these 3 little babes who always affect our thought process. Always. ALWAYS!

It would be so fun to have an adult evening ringing in the New Year like I see in all sorts of pictures of friends, or even in 8 million movies who make this evening seem so glamorous.

But for now, our 3 little babes still like us (somewhat). They still want to hang out with us and stay up late. They still enjoy popping balloons filled with fun activities. They still smile and laugh through the night while we are exhausted. They are going on partying hard thanks to a mixture of sugar rush and adrenaline, while watching the clock trying to figure why we didn't set them forward like we had talked about doing the years before.

So... for now, we will continue to have fun with our 3 babes, ringing in the New Year, while wearing comfy pants and my Cheers sweater, dreaming of beautiful dresses, fancy suits, and glittering lights.

Wieners All Around

If you opened this post looking for something other than a Couples Baby-Q Shower, then you're a real pervert.

Come on man.

Really?

So disappointing.

This is a family blog.

And our little family loves to have parties with themes... this one just so happened to focus on the birth of a baby boy... hence, wieners all around. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh Christmas Tree

Our friends asked us where we bought our Christmas tree at last year.

We told them in the Safeway parking lot.

They laughed. 

That most assuredly will never happen again.
