Awesome Emi came to town

Emi, on the right, was in town from Hawaii.
We went to high school together. Didn't hang out outside of school other than going to dances in the same groups and things like that. She didn't know KG at all.
The guy is Grant, more on him in a bit other then to say he gives amazing shoulder massages which I received all through dinner! Awesome!

Amanda, on the right, also went to school with KG and me and was in a ward with him. She came to our wedding, but we haven't hung out since.
Camille also went to school with us. I knew who she was but never talked or hung out.
But now all of us have come together on facebook. Those three girls and KG are known as the Four Queens of Facebook. :) I'm not on nearly as much and don't participate much when I am so I have no title! :) It was only appropriate that we all get together. We met up at Chapala's on Tuesday evening.
This is Gavin, Emi's son.
Then there's Grant, and his lovely wife. He works with KG but the rest of us didn't know him prior to Facebook. We all do now because he is one of the funniest guys you'll ever meet. The banter that goes on between these people is unreal! I join in every now and again but good gracious they keep me lauhing.
These two cuties are only 3 months apart. She's a shrimp.
The Facebook Gang, although I don't think Grant's wife is. I guess I'll have to look and add her! :)
I also walked away with a box of delicious hawaiin cookies from Emi that I'd won on her blog. She is also the one who sent me the beautiful blown glass necklace that I'd featured on a previous blog. I'm not sure I mentioned that I also won a $25 Jumba Juice gift card from her blog. I have savored that thing! Still have some left to use. She truly is awesome!
It was really fun to see everyone. Prior to Facebook, none of us had hung since high school. Good times.

We had some good laughs over this one!

Flower put these glasses on River and we lost it! We could not stop laughing. Shoot I'm still laughing! And she left them on for a good 5 minutes. Her serious little face just puts me over the edge!
Flower also fed River her cereal for the first time all by herself. It was so cute to watch. I adored every minute of it! She also cleaned her up after! She loves to help and was so proud of herself.




Shortly after this we discovered a 'pool' of liquid in the bottom of the exercauser. I figured Flower spilled her water. I took River out and her little feet were ice cubes and soaking wet. That's when I smelled something yucky, only to discover the 'pool' was pee and diarrhea. Awesome. It was seriously a half an inch deep! (Sorry MK, you may not want this thing back!) I think she was in it for over a half hour. But she wasn't fussy, poor thing.

This afternoon Flower went to an awesome primary activity! She was really looking forward to it and was so excited to tell me all about it when I arrived!
The activity was 'A Flight to Eternity'. Each child was given a boarding pass as their invitation and ticket to the activity.

It's very clever! The whole activity was very well put together.
I love the current presidency and I'm so grateful for the time and effort they put into Flower, and the other children, and make them feel so loved!

While she was at the activity River and I went to hang out with Matt and Kris while she cleaned Matt's room. Big fun but it was entertaining and far better then driving all the way back home!

Later, while River and I napped, KG and Flower went Costco and Walmart.

KG made a yummy lemon pasta dinner!

And I just found out KG got three surprise visitors at work. He sure has a lot of girl friends! Hi girls! Glad you could have a reunion. Is Boise being called 'Albuquerque' the 'in thing' these days? :)
Fun day for all.
