Omaha is too far away right now!!

First my sister got engaged about a week ago to a great guy named Chris. I can't say how grateful I am that she is so happy. They are the cutest couple and I am so happy for Natalie! I have been pretty protective over her and the guys she dates and so that is why I am so happy that she met and fell in love with Chris. He treats her so well and knows how to put up with her craziness and knows when to spoil her, she is so happy and only deserves the best! So the date is set in January, but she is already stressed about the planning. One of the problems with living 1000 miles away, I am bummed that I can't be there for more of the planning and wedding stuff. But when we go to Utah for Kyle's fall break, we are hitting up the bridal shops and shows and dress shopping, all that fun girlie stuff! Congrats Natalie and Chris. We love you guys! Now I have to work with Jantsen and learning Chris' name, instead of calling him "That Guy".


Some more exciting news...James and Cami had their twin babies the morning of Sept. 25. They are so beautiful and small and perfect! They are going to have their hands full with twins but they are amazing parents and will do a great job! Plus they have their cute little Parker man to help out. (Again, wishing I was not 1000 miles away!) Cami looked amazing her whole pregnancy and was such a trooper. James is just a great dad. He works so hard to take care of his family. I am so excited to meet my new niece and nephew (yay there are 2 of them!!!) in a couple of weeks! Aren't they just adorable?!!

Adam and Abigail

Look at their cute family! Congrats and Good Luck!

Kyle was really busy last week with writing a brief and other school stuff so I have been doing the single mom thing. I have really actually gotten use to the routine and so it wasn't too bad (plus the twilight books kept me entertained). The only thing is that he hasn't seen much of the kids this past week. And when I say "much" I am talking maybe 6 hours at the most...for the entire week!! He even came home one night and went in the kid's bed to wake Kambryn up just to see her that day. He ended up reading them both books for about 20 minutes. So it was fine with me!

But on Friday, Kyle didn't have any classes and so he spent the day with Jantsen. They went to Dave and Buster's (arcade/restaurant place) and then to the movie "Fly Me To the Moon". It is a 3D movie so Jantsen totally loved it because it was like they were in it! They spent about 5 hours together that day and it was much needed, I think for all of us!

I know how you feel- being so far when there are wedding plans going on is so hard! They are such a cute couple! Let's get out this week.

Omaha is too far away! Aw man, if I had cute little babies waiting for me to hold them...I think I would start walking(although, Kyle might get there before you when he drives home for fall break!)! I think those are the most adorable babies I have ever seen!

First...we LOVE Chris! He was good friends with Karlie in High School. We could not have picked a better pair. We saw them together at the mall about a week ago. Next...Those babies are adorable! How fun. Wish you were closer, but hopefully it won't be long!

don't you love being a single parent. I am just glad that we have husband that find time for all of us when it is really needed. Aaron has midterms this week but still makes time to go to parent conferences.

Big news in your family for sure! Your sister is a doll and it sounds like she found a great guy. I know, I hate being so far away too. It makes you SOOOO excited to see them when you do though.

Buffy Dayton said...

Yeah for Nat! Tell her Congrats, and James and Cami too. What a cute picture of the twins cuddling with eachother just like in the womb!! Hey, what about me, I am good reason Omaha is too far away, come on!!!

Unknown said...

oh and for all of you out there...I miss my bestest buddy Buffy. That is top priority to be going to utah in a few weeks. (or maybe she could just plan a trip out here...)

Kristen said...

Yay, for Nat! I am still a little sad that she won't be my sis-in-law but that guy looks like a cutie so I guess it is all for the best. I am so jealous about the wedding dress shopping and everything! After Kara got married I told her when needed another sister cause that was almost as fun as when I got married but without the stress! If you guys want more girls opinions I would love to tag along! I bet you are DYING to hold those cute babies! Pocatello was too far for me when you had Jants and I only had to wait a couple days! I bet you are counting down the days! I know you will be busy but hopefully we can hang out a bit when you come home. Can't wait to see you guys!

Oh my goodness, those twins are adorable!! All I can say is good luck to them though, I'm sure all 3 kids are going to be a handful!:) Oh the life of a law school wife! It's crazy & feels like it's never going to end but it does, I promise!

Cami said...
