Blast from the Past

Today we had my Dad's birthday dinner at my parent's house. Some friends from waaayyy back in the day were there. I'll try to explain who they are, but it might come across kinda jumbled. When we lived in Crestview there was a family who also lived there in our ward name the Stapletons. They had 6 (I think) kids. The second to youngest was my age. Anyway, they eventually moved away right before I graduated high school. So, the oldest daughter who is married and lived in Tennessee, just moved to Utah, and she came with her husband and two kids. It's a little strange because I know who she is, but not really because she's a bit older than me -- clear as mud, right?

So, we had the best time. She and her husband were so great, but the best part was their kids. They have a boy who is 4 months older than Jax, and a girl who is 4 months older than Sunny. They were great kids, and hit it off right away with our kids.. I don't think I've ever heard so much laughter. They played together the entire time. Swords, trucks, hide and seek, and the watched the Grinch movie. We will definitely have to do a play date in the future! What a great night.

I know exactly what you mean! :) She even used to babysit me--that's so fun that your kids all got along so well!
