Thank you, Thank you, Thank you my FRIENDS!

While I was in West Virginia all my friends helped me out with my kids! I couldn't have gone away to help Kim without them! Thank you everyone for helping me!!!! My kids never even missed me! Wednesday they went to Amy Lopez's house. She took them to our Relief Society pool group and so they got to see all the friends from our ward. So I owe a thank you to all my different friends from our ward who helped out with them there. That night Luke got to go to the movie Iron Man with Carver and his dad John for Carver's 6th birthday. And then he got to SLEEPOVER! Originally Matt was going to be out of town and so all 3 kids were going to stay over night at Amy's. But then Matt's travel plans changed and so he was in town. Luke and Carver were bummed because that meant Luke didn't need to sleep over at his house. But then we let him since it was Carver's birthday.

Here's Gavin and Amy's baby Cooper just "bummin" around at the pool! :)

Best buddies with similar interests :)

Amy had her hands full, THANKS AMY!

Emma, Luke, and the birthday boy Carver! (And also Emma's future husband, she is sure she is going to be Emma Lopez someday!)

Then I had my friend Amy Hillis set up to take the kids on Thursday but Matt ended up taking the day off! What a great dad! Then Friday my friend Ashley Lisonbee came over and stayed with the kids until I got home at noon. Oh and my friend Rachel Mann picked me up from the airport!!!! What amazing friends I have to all pitch in and help me out! I am so grateful! Amy Hillis came over on Friday morning before I got home and took Emma to her house for a "makeover". Emma came home that afternoon with make up on, nails done, and hair curled! Her three little girls, Abby age 8, Maddie age 7, and Annie age 3 (maybe she's 4), were the beauticians :) Amy's blog is hilarious how she describes the afternoon! :) Here are the pictures she sent me...

After the makeovers they got to watch a princess movie in Amy's bed! What a fun day! Emma was pampered to say the least! :)

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU MY FRIENDS!
