Friend Visit

I got to spend almost a week with my friends Emily and Lindsay. Our friend Erica also came down from Loveland for a couple days with her kids. We all knew each other in WA and did Bible studies together for years. I miss these girls so much and it was fun to visit. It was also a little bit hectic with so many people in our house and kids running around everywhere. There were days when we were all so busy taking care of our kids, that we would finally sit down at nap time and say, "Hey, how are you?" We did have a couple evenings out to catch up and talk and we stayed up way too late almost every night. So thankful for these girls and that they came to visit me. Also thankful for my husband for being such a good sport and babysitting for us! Next time I think we will plan a girl's weekend away, with out kids.



Visit to Focus






The babies were so funny. They would just sit and look at whoever was sitting next to them. We got a new minivan a few weeks ago and it was nice to be able to fit everyone in one car. We love our new car and all the space and conveniences. So I've become a minivan mom, but I really don't mind, it's just so practical.




I think it's funny they are making the same face.



Lindsay helped us so much with the kids!





We went to the zoo one day. Mason loved the giraffes.












Alyssa took this picture of us.




Alyssa and Caleb loved the otters. They would scream everytime they swam past them.




Little buddies




T.V time meant a little bit a of quiet. For a couple minutes anyway.




Lindsay, Alyssa and Rugby. Lindsay and Rugby are great buddies. Rug has probably spent at least 3 months at Lindsay's house over the years. She would watch him while we took long trips to CO during Nate's deployments and stuff. He misses playing with her dogs.




Sunday we leave for Angel Fire, NM for a ski trip with some friends we met during Nate's pilot training. We haven't seen some of them in 5 years! We were all kidless back then and now there are 5 kids between us. It will be another fun and crazy week! Can't wait!
