Chinese Food at the Changs

We had a unforgettable labor day dinner over at Jessica and Eric Chang's house! Eric has a real gift with food and proved it once again! We had Crab Won Tons, Chicken Curry, Sticky Rice, General Pows Chicken, and Coconut Shrimp!!
A bunch of us got together over at Jess and Eric's new house to hang out for the first time since they moved! Most of us met in our ward in Hurricane last year but ironically we have all moved out of the ward! It has really been so nice to find friends that we have SO much in common with and that have kids that are all SO close in age that they play so perfectly together! (most of the time:) Spencer, Noah and Tippy are all 3ish, Cooper and Andy are both under 2 and Gage is the baby of the bunch that Eric loves to cuddle!
I tried and tried to get a picture of all the kids together but they were just to busy playing! This is Spencer, Noah and Tyler (Tippy).
Andy and Cooper about to go for the slide!
The kids were just so busy playing, this was my last failed attempt at a group shot! After this the bubbles were found and there was no hope of everyone sitting down for a picture! Oh well...

Spencer has really fell in love with Noah and Tippy and ever since our move up to Cedar has been asking every day when he gets to see them again! Every once and a while he will just get the saddest look on his face and say "Mom, I miss Tippy and Noah! Can they come to our new house? I miss my friends!" We used to meet up at least once a week to take the 3 kids to play group or McDonald's for lunch! For a while there we were doing walking group together as much as we could! The kids really got so close! So it was so nice for him to get to have some time to just mess around with his friends!
Noah was all about really trying to BLOW those bubbles out! And unlike the other kids he was totally up for posing for a picture!
Cooper loves the CHASE!
Spencer was more into the slide!
Jess, Megan, Steph and I were all in the Young Women together at one point or another and became really close going on girls nights, watching all our favorite show together, doing crafts and of course getting out to go shopping as much as we could! BJ and all the guys went out to all the guy movies that none of us wanted to see together and went on lots of hikes up to Zions over the last year! This dinner was the first time all of us were back together since we all moved! It was so much fun to sit around and visit! I know BJ and I already really miss being close enough to just get together on a whim with these GREAT FRIENDS! But we really appreciated the chance to get together and look forward to lots more fun together!
Jess and her baby Izzie!
