Beginning 2013

We celebrated our New Year with Darrell's mom, brother and his family- the other Wiser's. The kids had fun playing hard, they were exhausted! There were some melt downs, two hour time difference and a strong willed 3 year old are not usually the best combination.
We taught the older kids how to play Phase 10, one of my favorite games- even though I generally lose at it.
 
We loved spending the evening with Grandma Wiser, it's so hard to live across the country from the Grandma's!
 
We took a few pictures, the kids banged pots and pans and did a really LOUD celebration outside for a few minutes.
 
The day before we left Las Vegas we were able to spend the evening with the Scow's. We LOVE the Scow's- and if I'm being honest, we miss them just as much as we miss our family!:)
Ashlee and Megan were inseparable from 2-6 (when we moved to AR) and Jenny (Megan's mom) and I were just as inseparable!
Our kids are now old enough to leave them, so Rich Jenny Darrell and I went to Cheesecake Factory.
 Ashlee, Megan, and Lexi
 Emily and Carly (Carly is six months OLDER then Emily, Em is a little taller then her though.)
 Sweet friends!
 Baylee and Anna. We didn't realize how sick Baylee was when we went over- she basically slept for 18 hours. I loved Anna's make shift potty!:)
Ben wouldn't let me get pictures with him, but I snuck this one. We didn't get one with Will and baby Nate.
 
When it was time to come back home, we were ready to get back to routine, but we sure miss all our family and friends. We've been blessed to come from great families, and blessed to have lived in some amazing Wards to make so many great friends!
