Visitors (said like Gus Gus)

Ahhh! I just wrote a long post about this and then it erased. Suck! Well, you'll now the get shortened version, which I am sure you will appreciate. My friend from college/Creighton Hall alum, Julie, is moving from Florida up to Utah with her husband Braden, also a friend from SVU, and their three little cute girls. She called on Friday and said they'd be coming through OKC and wanted to get together. Yeah!! So, we asked them to stay the night. Well, after some back and forth debating (their girls were mysteriously throwing up in the car...weren't sure if it was car sick or just sick), they decided to stay. Nate and I were SO excited! The kids played, we hung out and talked, two of their girls threw up all over, and no one got sleep. It was awesome! Seriously though, we were SO glad they stopped by. It had been four years since we saw them last. LONG overdue. It was fun to reminisce and catch up. They are SO much fun.
Disclaimer for Julie ( I don't know how to spell any of your girls' names. So don't be offended if they are wrong!)


Griffin was basically obsessed with Lila the whole time. And she was the most recently sick! Nice. He wanted to hug her, share with her, and follow her around. I am pretty sure he thought her glowingly white hair meant she was an angel.
Should have been our first clue that Lila's breakfast wasn't going to stay down. She just laid there and watched me make oatmeal.
Annabelle fit right in with my two older ones! Playing dress ups, jumping on the tramp, and watching Scooby Doo.

There's Griff, wanting to be just like Lila again.
Julie holding Maisey in a towel in case she decided to keep throwing up. Fun stuff. But look at that little cheese face!


Griffin was also pretty good about wanting to share all of his toys. Minus Jayci's pink bear.

And the lovely parents! It is so fun having people over who remember you BEFORE you were just Treyton, Jayci, or Griffin's mommy and daddy. You know, when you had your own identity?! Thanks for coming, guys! Here's hoping the rest of their trip goes a little more smoothly and they can make it more than 5 hours a day.

Thanks for posting that retarded picture of me. OK, on the real, thanks for letting us crash your place, make a mess, and gets your kids sick. We both said the same thing when we left- it was so good to see you guys. We truly had a blast and it left us thinking and scheming about the next time we can get together. Thanks old friend, we LOVED seeing you guys!
