Finally!


 Ever since Bill and I were engaged we have had some very special friends, John & Ashton. Bill and John have been friends ever since they were little and then Ashton and I joined the mix! We were in each other's weddings, they were there the night Sawyer was born and then Raylan and their son Jackson were born a week apart! A few years ago John's job had them relocate to Wisconsin and then to Fargo and then to South Dakota. We (Bill & I) will be the first to admit that we get the 'bad friends' award because we never went to visit them! They came back to Omaha to see friends and family numerous times but we just couldn't get ourselves up to see them! But now that they were only like two hours away, we knew we just had to go!


We sped up there for a quick weekend away and had such a good time! Of course the two rascals had a blast running around, making a mess, getting into little squabbles and talking to each other in their little made up language!


Ever since we had Sawyer, John and Ashton have so annoyingly taken it upon themselves to always pick out the most loud and obnoxious toys for Christmas and birthdays....and this year they didn't disappoint. They gave him this HUGE nerf gun bazooka thing that has like 30 darts and 10 DD batteries.....Thanks a lot guys (eye roll)


John and Sawyer playing Battle ship, Connect Four and Chess (Sawyer was in heaven)


Like I said, the two little guys are just a week apart in age so they are TOTALLY into the same things right now. One of the main things being: How can I annoy you and still get away with it? This particular moment Jackson just really wanted to stick his fingers in Raylan's ears....and Raylan was not a fan.


Still trying to grab the ears but mommy getting in the way!


Jackson: 1 Raylan: 0


What a little ham!


Sawyer always tries to race through the kid's sheets at restaurants but then ends up with nothing to do! 


Having brunch at this super duper cute diner right before we headed home.


Thank goodness that 'No Shave November' is over so John can shave that thing off his face! LOL


We had a great time catching up and just hanging out! Sorry it took us this long to come see you guys! 
We love you loads!

Aaahh! Such good pictures! We are so happy you were able to come up and visit. Jackson had a great time running after Sawyer and Raylan. We love you all!
