The Boyack's family visit!

The Boyack family came to AZ last Friday for a visit with the Buckos! Lesa and I have been friends since we were nannies at the same time many years ago. Lesa thought I was about time our families finally met. Luckily U2 was coming to town and that prompted the perfect time for a visit. We had a total blast the whole time they were here and my kids and my and I are really missing them. Here are some highlights of the visit! The whole clan at the temple!
These two were total peas in a pod! They had a fantastic time together.

Christmas fun!

This Christmas Bob and Julie Caldwell (I work with Julie and she's great! Of course Bob and Richard are buddies.)invited our family and my awesome older brother and his family over to do the Nativity and have some fun. They had quite the yummy spread there to eat. After visiting and eating we got the kids dressed in these great costumes that Julie's sister had sent her. The kids then put on the nativity and they did a fantastic job! Thanks Bob and Julie we had a great time and enjoyed the family time.

BFF Weekend

Warning Picture overload!!! This past weekend I was lucky enough to have one of my very best friends come and stay the weekend! The sad part is that it has been around 16 years since we've actually been able to see each other. We have kept in contact just haven't been so good about actually seeing each other. I am such a HORRIBLE friend!!! Sorry Lesa!!! Lesa and I met while I was a nanny in NY 18 years ago. Holy cow am I that old?!!! Being so far from our family we fast became just like sisters. She is so awesome and I love her guts. After many conversations she decided we needed a visit in AZ. Yay!! She brought with her her most awesome little sister Marcy whom I just adore to share in the fun. Matt was so kind to take the kids and go to Tucson so we could enjoy some girl bonding time. Thank you so much dear!!! It is much appreciated. I felt like a teenager again with our wild and crazy antics and staying up late just giggling. I can't wait for my turn to go to UT to visit her now. Never again are we going to let that much time lapse between visits. Thanks for the fun time girls! Love your guts and can't wait to do it again:)
