I see the Light!

I was so happy to wake up yesterday morning to the bright sun and the clear blue sky....especially considering just three days earlier I woke up to snow. It warmed up to 70 degrees yesterday. It was so nice....perfect BBQ weather. I think it was the first time Tayden had actually really been out in the sun with no blankets on or anything. Oh I just loved it.
I was really excited because some of our good friends Mike and Natalie Hammond called us to see if we wanted to come over and have a BBQ with them and Tom and Alisha. It had been FOREVER since we all did something together. We used to do something like every weekend before Jared got deployed....and I actually think that was the last time we had all gotten together....so yesterday's get together was long overdue. It is so much fun cause we have all been friends for quite a while now....we all started hanging out before we had our first kids....actually Tom and Alisha had just had Avry and Mike and Natalie shortly after had Jaxon....but we didn't even have Boston yet. It's so cool now cause we all have two kids that are all close in age and can actually play together. We ended up visiting a ton....eating some very yummy food....and then we played Rock Band. Oh it was so much fun. I have never played that game, and didn't think it could be that fun, but I'm sold now. It's hilarious! Anyway here are a few pictures from the night...

Boston in his new summer clothes. I think he is trying to show me his "funny face."
All the girls...we are kneeling because we were trying to stay out of the sun for the picture, but then we realized that it probably looked a little funny....
Our Men...I love that they all get along so well cause I love their wives to death!
I don't know what they are doing in this picture....and for some reason I didn't take any pictures of the kids.
