Knutsons Visit

(I decided to delete this post that I put up yesterday and instead try to repost it so the pictures show up...do you see the pictures now?)



Great friends are so important...SO IMPORTANT!
We are blessed to have some really amazing friends.


The Knutsons are definitely are great friends and we cherish our times with them because the times are fewer and farther between then they used to be! Sean has knows Sara and Jemerie since college and I met them in 2004 just before Sean and I got married. We lived in Colo, IA and they lived only about 6 miles from us. We hung out all the time. They are a good time! :)


They were traveling through the Quad City area on Monday and decided to stop for the night. We are so glad they did! We had an absolute BLAST! We laughed and laughed and laughed some more. We played Dance Central and then carried the dance party out back to our patio where we did a little more dancing to some "old school" tunes. :) Funny stuff. We chatted the night away and didn't go to bed until the WEE HOURS! The kids played amazingly well inside and there were moments when we forgot the kids were even with us! It's fun when they get to that age that they don't need to constantly be tended to and they can just play and play and play for hours on end on their own! :)


Sara and I...


We snuggled up by the fire and even had to wear sweatshirts! Seriously, it's almost July!!!




Oh these 2 are two peas in a pod! They have known each other for longer than Sean and I have known each other and know a lot (probably too much!) about each other's pasts. ;) They are hilarious together though. They had tee times for 8am and were likely regretting the night before when their alarms went off. They're like a couple of college kids when they get together!





And what's a night at the Peakin residence without S'mores!




Livi thouroughly enjoyed her S'more complete with a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and the MONSTER marshmallow...





Delaney thought hers was tastey too. I mean, I met the Knutsons when she was 1 1/2! When did she get this old?! She is such a great kid!








And Tate was in hog heaven.



Kids to play with, S'mores, someone to play XBox Kinect with, a sleepover...not much is better in his world! :)


We had so much fun that we already planned the next time they're coming!

Thanks Knutsons for stopping over! Can't wait to see you again soon!
