Party In The House

We had a party in the house over the weekend.  What house wouldn't be a party with these 14 fun kids running around?

My dear friend Nicole left Monday night and is still making her way across the country back to Maine.  (She's my BFF)

She just had a short window of opportunity to make the trek to Utah, I'm so glad she came.  She's glad too, and we're praying that she will be able to arrive safely back home before she collapses of exhaustion.  She drove out here over 4 days, 10 hours a day, with her cute crew of 6 kids in tow, stayed for 4 days, and now they should be home by Friday.  Some of the stuff we did: Here's Lucas with Sophi playing Legos~

 The older kids all put up tents in the back yard for them to sleep in -

We had a fun time at the Brigham City Temple Open house, at Temple Square for a tour of the Conference Center ~

Taking a picture of ourselves in the mirror across the balcony hall...

...at the park, they went to BYU (I bailed on that one, I was too tired, Nicole puts me to shame) and then after a prayer they headed out Monday night.

But first, we had to get pictures.  Pictures of the "Two Lily's" (Over the weekend my Lily would walk around and say with special contentment in her voice "Two Lilys!  Two Lilys!")

Then picture of the two Coreys, cause there are two Coreys too!

Now we are it and it's out turn to make the trip across country next year for the 2nd annual Freeman/Wride Reunion.  :)  It's on!
