Best Friends...

It's like pulling teeth to find time to get together, but it's so worth the fight! We all have busy lives and lots of things going on, but we still remain great friends and love spending time together. This is a pretty tight knit group and all but one and his soon to be wife live in a 50 mile radius. There are seven of us girls that have been best friends for many many years and go way back. We're still as close today as we were then and it's very special to be able to share our lives and families together. 

So, here are some pics from our last chaotic dinner at Pinchers. It was the PERFECT place for a kid friendly and friend friendly dinner. The kids were able to run free while entertained and we were able to talk to everyone. Dinner is hard as your usually at a long table and can only talk to the ones you're next to and we're usually discipling or entertaining the children and don't get to enjoy the company. This outing can't be beat!


The girls with the most recent addition...Cole. He's 4 months younger than Bennet.





The G bros!



The K sistas!



The kiddos checking out the ducks and making a little racket!

OMG...the kids had ice cream with skor bar on top! Luckily my girls didn't have much room. I forwent my dinner for it! 



The kiddos minus Jake. 



It took a minute but we realized he was missing and threw him in...



Then...Mr. R decided he would take the kids to the candy store next door.

Fair with Friends

We had a day of fun at the fair with our friends a couple weeks ago. Here's the crew...and we had one more join us later.



The girls made me ride the first ride with them but after that they rode all by themselves! I've been waiting for this day.











They even climb the stairs for this slide and came flying down all by themselves! Wow such big girls!













The fair was all fine and dandy until Clare's world came crashing in! She wanted to ride one of the rides with a certain friend and the friend was already on the ride with someone. So she stood there and I had to grab her off the ride so they could start it. Then I took her aside and told her if she continued to act this way that we would go home. Oh did I say the words...go home? Yep and she threw a fit. Had nothing to do with that she couldn't ride with her friends but that we were going home. So she continued her fit and I was ready to go home anyway...so there we went. Stuck to my guns and it wasn't happily or willingly, but off we went. One day they will learn. Or will they?


Our first swim of the year and although the water was freeeeezzzzing the girls did well and picked up where they left off. 

Clare taking a jump! 






I haven't had any pictures of Miss Lissi lately. She is doing great for her ripe old age of 16 and her birthday is actually on Friday, May 18th. So Happy Birthday to my first child! She still holds strong to her three siblings and she has been by my side through it all. I love you Liss!



Adde taking a jump...not as daring as Clare, but she's jumping.



Bennet's first pool party! He was not a fan but hopefully will 'warm' up to it!



And then we froze!
