TATUM AND SAM REUNITE

We were so excited when we heard that Leslie and the kids were going to be in Utah the same time we were. Jared had to stay behind and go boating, but we still missed him. (just kidding, he had to work.)
We met them in Wisconsin during med school and it was so hard to move away from them once Colby and Jared graduated. We did everything together! They are pretty much like family to us. Tatum and Sam became BEST-FRIENDS. They pretty much grew up together. Tatum still wears a locket with their pictures in it that Sam gave her before we moved.
So it had been a year since we saw them. Tatum and Sam have talked on the phone and on the webcam since we moved, but I wasn't sure how she was going to act once she saw him. She was SO excited for the big day and was telling everyone that tomorrow she was going to see her best-friend Sammy. Would Tatum be SHY at first?????


No way!!!! They picked up right where they left off. They were so excited to see each other. They gave each other a hug and had a blast playing together.
The gang.


Sam was teaching Tatum how to play baseball.
Tatums turn. Such a cute picture. Sam was telling Tatum how to swing and hit the ball.
Tate was excited she hit the ball and Sam pulled a NINJA move.
Sammy wrestling with Colby.
The cute kids: Seth, Sam with Jack, Tatum, and Ella.

O.K., so we always talk about how Tatum and Sam are going to get married. They would have so many fun pictures that they could put in their wedding video!! :) This next picture would be the perfect little engagement picture.
It is actually a picture of when they were saying goodbye. (no, we didn't pose them)
They miss each other!
We miss you guys a ton and can't wait until we see you again.

Hey Mandy,
Your blog is so adorable! I can't get enough of that little girl of yours! Probably because mine are just a bit younger and I love to see the things that Tate says and does and look forward to my girls in that stage! So fun all the things you guys get to do! Marci

I love Tate's engagement picture! I like that her hand is up on his shoulder.
They are destined to get married now! But save Seth for Elle. And don't let him be a little player like Colby wants him to be.
