Kai & Adrian's first day of 1st grade!!
Kai has been friends with this little boy named Adrian. They were friends throughout Kindergarten and were in the same class. At the end of the year, I sent Kai to school with a note to give Adrian's mom. (I didn't know her at all and had never met her) Christina called me and we got the kids together after Kai's summer vacation with his dad. Since then, Kai and Adrian are BEST BUDS, I mean, these two are like Siamese twins, they can't (or refuse to) do anything without each other. We put them in soccer together and of course, they are on the same team. After some get-togethers, Adrian's mom, Christina (Ash calls her ChristiBLUMA!!) and I started to become better friends. She also has a daughter named Aubree that is only 1 year younger than Ashtyn.

After talking one day, we decided that since neither one of us really know a lot of people that baby-sit here and that we would start trading off date nights. It was a GREAT idea! I strongly suggest this! It is VITAL in a marriage to have alone time with your spouse since every day being married with children gets mundane and frustrating. Getting out together has been such a great vacation from the kids!!
Friday night, we took their kids, Aubree and Adrian while they went out and had a great date night together and the kids were able to play and slept over at our house. Saturday, it was our turn and we got the kids ready and brought them to Christina and Michael's house around 5 and we were off to the game!! We had an AMAZING time together laughing and yelling out for our UTES! It was so nice to just be buddies and have fun together without worrying about getting kids in baths and disciplining and bedtime drama. We had great seats on the 5th row! It was a perfect evening and then came home to a very quiet, relaxing home with no kids. AWWWW.... (They sleep over usually on date night) The BEST part is that I was able to sleep in until 10:30 AM and wake up to a completely quiet house. I wished the Mister could have been there as well, but he had to go to work at 5 AM :(
Here are some pics from the seats and also some cute pics of the kids
