Forever Friends

Wes and I have been blessed with some pretty amazing friends in our lives. They are always there for us and continually show us what true friends are. Today we got together with my cousin, Brittany, and my friends Lindsey and Lindsay! The hubbies were there too, of course! Lindsey and Curt live in Chicago and they were home to visit so Britt and Troy came up from Columbus and we all headed over to Lindsay and Adam's house in Oak Harbor. Lindsay and

Adam's daughter, Payne, is 6 days younger than my girls.

Lindsey and Curt's daugher, Juliana, turned 1 in January.

It was so much fun watching all of our girls play together. The first picture is of Stella dancing. She is a dancing queen these days!

Lindsey had come up with the idea of a clothes swap. I didn't know that we were going to be able to be there so I didn't bring anything. The idea was for all of us to bring clothes we don't want anymore and we can choose things from each other. Shopping for free and cleaning out your closet at the same time! They told me to please take some because they were just going to Goodwill so I got some new, super cute clothes! When I got home I did clean out my closet and load up a huge basket to take to Goodwill tomorrow. Cleaning out my closet always makes me feel so good and accomplished! While we were doing the clothes swap our little ladies were very interested in what we were doing and tried on a few items themselves! :)

To keep them occupied while we finished, we turned Dora on a TV that was mounted on the wall behind us. And apparently Payne is equally obsessed with Dora......seriously look at their faces! Crack for toddlers, for sure!

A few weeks ago when we were in Fort Loramie we got together with some of our friends. I've mentioned before that these are all of Wes' friends from high school. I absolutely love them all and they are some of our best friends. We were home for Clint and Jillian's baby shower. They were the last of us to get married and now the last of us to have children. The rest of us have babies that are very close in age and so we got them all together to play at Phil and Laura's beautiful house. I just love watching them all play together knowing that they will be friends forever! In fact, Kendall, is Mya's boyfriend. When Ryan and Julie came up to visit when the girls were 3 weeks old and Kendall was 2 months old we laid them on a blanket to take a picture and Mya snuggled right up to him. It was adorable!
