Best Friend Visit

B.F.F.s are the BEST!!! No matter how far apart you are or how long you are away- with best friends, things stay the same or... at least for these two. Liberty was so happy this weekend because her bestest friend, Savannah came to visit. We did lots of fun things together and the girls meshed just like they'd never been apart! They played together, worked together, climbed trees together, ate together, built things together, watched movies together- just like the old days! So glad she could come! Thanks for making time to be with Liberty! We miss you & your family!

As part of the day, we took the Tuckers (Justice is in desperate need of guy friends! LOL) and went for one more swim @ the Larsens. It was overcast but the kids didn't seem to mind. When they'd got their fill of water, we took them for a McDonald's dinner @ Elmwood Park. We got a bit rained on but can't complain since the rains held out for the evening. What a great day!

P.S. We got lucky enough to have Savannah one more time before she left. Once again, the girls spent a good chunk of their time in the treetops. They are so silly! We also got to meet Brett for lunch at the Olive garden. The girls were so excited to have Zuppa Toscana. It's Liberty's favorite! Favorite food, favorite friend and favorite family! Life doesn't get better than this! ;)

We miss you, Kings!

Saying Goodbye to Dear Friends

I'm sure it won't sink in for a while since we are leaving on vacation today for a week but we had to say farewell (used in parting with another or others, usually to express good wishes) to some of our dear friends today. They are both leaving after Memorial Day when we will be gone so today was it for us. It's hard for me cuz I've never NOT been around to monopolize my friends last couple days in Fargo. :) But easier cuz it doesn't really feel like they are leaving.

THE WEBER FAMILY

We got to have the Webers kids come play a couple times this week and then take their family out to lunch today. It was their first time at Sandy's donuts. Besides little Corbin not feeling well- the kids laughed and played and enjoyed being squirted by the Window Washer man. LOL! We also inherited the Webers fish. I know....SHOCKER... we are so NOT animal people but the kids are very excited! We'll see how long we can keep them alive. :) It's been fun to see the Weber family grow [more than double, in fact] during their time here in Fargo. Good Luck guys! We'll be praying that we won't be able to visit you in Utah in August cuz you'll have a fabulous job somewhere by then but if not- we'll have to get together. :)

THE KING FAMILY

Over the last few years, Savannah and Liberty have been the best of friends. Telindalee has been fabulous at making sure we get them together almost every week. Such a great family! They had a little going away party for the King kids' closest friends at the Governor's Inn Swim Park in Casselton today. Liberty had a blast! We made sure we took a pic of some of the Tree climbing crew. (This was a constant pasttime at the Seamons' home with the King kids) AND of course they needed their hundred hugs before each parting. Good Luck guys! We will so miss our weekly visits. The girls are already though to be Email pals so hopefully it will be easy to stay in touch!

We will miss you both tons!!! We sure luv ya guys!

As you know, our dear friends the Kings are leaving us soon. We are trying to savor all the opportunities to have Liberty & Savannah do things together before they leave. Well the Kings are great runners; the Seamons... not so much. LOL! But Liberty decided that she'd really like to run the 1 mile with Savannah and get a T-Shirt and a medal so, they did. [Even more amazing is that Liberty was sick last week so she hasn't had much energy and then on Friday, she stepped on a nail. She didn't walk for 3days so we weren't sure she'd even be able to walk the mile, let alone run it:] Telindalee was nice enough to take her up with them early but our whole family came to support and watch her run. They were running a little behind on the time so Brett and the kids played tag and made some new friends while we waited. We saw them start out strong and went to the finish line to see them come in. Caden was darn fast and I love the shot we got of him. He did awesome! The girls finish holding hands and pretty red in the faces. The announcer even announced their names due to the fact that Brett was cheering for them right next to him. It was fun to hear them announced over the loud speaker across the finish line. LOL! The only complaint was that they ran out of water (everyone was supposed to get a medal and a water bottle at the end of the race) just before the girls finished so they were NOT happy campers. Nonetheless, we are very proud of them! Great job you guys! Way to GOfar!

Mother's Day Celebration

Brett & the kids made today a very special day! (like everyday- or at least almost everyday LOL!) They all did a fabulous job at letting me sleep in. Then, they made me breakfast. Liberty frosted the Cinnamon rolls and they let me have the center one. [The center cinnamon roll is a very special treat around our place] The kids were so excited to give me presents. I am way spoiled!!!! Thanks fam-- you sure know how to make me feel special.

After Church, we did some crazy cleaning to prepare for our guests while Brett & Justice made us a fabulous dinner. They made pork roast and real potatoes and gravy and green salad and fruit salad. The Kings brought green beans and bread and homemade peach jam. So YUMMY! We had the Kings and the Ironroads join us for the Mother's Day feast. Brett made sure all the "Moms" had their dinner served by their hubby on the special RED plates and the fancy tall glasses while we lady folk just visited. They even served all the kids. You men are amazing!!!! We ate and visited and the kids played downstairs and on the Wii. For dessert, Brett made a wonderful Mississippi Mud which was served by the sons. YUMMY!!! We let the Kings leave early so they could spend some Fam time together before Bryan leaves again in the morning. (They are moving at the beginning of June to Texas. Bryan's already working down there and was just visiting for the weekend. We will miss them SOO much!)

Matt & Haylie hung out for a bit of Wii and our Sunday Walk. We got to share with them the beautiful white blossom trees. We just love the Ironroads! (AND for the record, it was our Mother's Day to have them. LOL!)

It was a great Mother's Day!!!

I am very lucky to have such a wonderful family!

LOVE you!!! XOXOX
