Roomie Reunion

My two college roommates and I met up for a blissful weekend at Kim's house in Hot Springs!  You know those friends you compare everyone to once you get out of college? Well these are mine!  I love them so much and we take advantage of every minute together...even if we do need sleep!  Lauren and I got to meet Ms. Aubrey Kate and she was precious and perfect! 

Our guys get along so well! They jive as well as we do!

 Here are the girls at church!  My how things change! We have added a few accessories.

I had to add an old school pic from my wedding, Kim is on the L of Chad and Lauren is on the R of me!  I can't put my finger on exactly what makes us so close but, I will say we spent a lot of days in college praying, crying, and laughing! We are all so different but, we appreciate each others differences! Lots of love here!  Time is not enough with these girls! 

They guys playing football outside!

We went to see the lights! These kids love each other so much! They were cracking us up!  Oh the business of kids!

I can't wait until our next get together, we have plans up our sleeve and promised to not go so long without each other!  Oh how I love my Kim and Lauren!

La diversión y la Relajación con amigos en México

Fun and Relaxation With Amigos in Mexico!We went to Playa Del Carmen with our friends, Matt and Holly. We used one of their time share weeks and stayed at a very nice resort! It was a BLAST! That is all I can say, best word to describe the event!We ate our weight in salsa, gauc, and chips! We spent hours and hours at the spa with massages, hydrotherapy, chocolate wraps, pedicures, and more massages!  They guys didn't spend that much time there! They golfed and played water polo and Holly and I got a lot of girl time! We shopped, laid out on the beach and drank yummy healthy smoothies!We swam with the fish!We had a lot of laughs and a lot of conversing! Chad and I enjoyed every single minute!They were the perfect couple to go with! We all said our favorite part was hanging out at the pool! Well Holly and I added the spa on our top favorite parts! We met some neat people too! We were giddy when we saw the kiddos! They were too! They spent the first half of the week at "BoCo Camp" with my parents and the girls! We have heard more new adventures that he had then what we can put into a full week! Harry loved playing with Caroline and Olivia for three whole days! He spent the next half with Mimi and Papa and from what I understand he got a lot of cuddle time and spoiling! It was a perfect trip for them too! We came back and GK will not take a paci any more! She also is much more independent than before as well! Harry is the same, he is very excited to see us but, over all he is the same! We have been playing games and swimming with them all day! Tomorrow we are hitting a few birthday parties and attempting to get our house back in order!

A Big Weekend in Little Rock

Harry got the biggest treat this weekend and it started with Brody, the Fowler's dog, traveling with us to Little Rock. This is not a great picture but, Harry did not take his eyes off of him the entire trip!

We stayed with the Fowlers and had such a great visit, as always! Harry helped Brian make the best waffles ever!Harry talks about Kaleb constantly and he was giving him a little too much love here!

We were able to visit Chad's best buds from college! Harry showed off for them the whole time and had to be the center of attention! This was a much needed visit! I was excited to meet Darren's fiance Jamie! She was a doll and I knew she would be!

This is the main reason we went to Little Rock! Three of my students won awards in a Library of Congress writing contest! I was so proud and I loved being there to celebrate with them! I am going to really miss this age next year!

Another highlight was visiting the Vanhooks! Rachel and I have stayed in touch for almost ten years and we catch up right where we left off! It was late so I didn't get to visit with her as much as I would have liked! Finley is probably the funniest 2 year old I have ever met! I laughed the entire time and Harry and her!

We did miss out on seeing Kia and her fiance but, my lost phone made it too hard to communicate...bug! I was spoiled because, Rachel gave me some of the cutest door hangings and Katie hooked me up with more maternity clothes! Chad and I had such a great time with our Little Rock friends; I hope we get to have another visit soon!

Branson at Christmas

Chad's mom and dad took the Ware's to Branson for a few days before Christmas. It was beautiful. I have never been to Silver Dollar City or the Dixie Stampede so, Harry and I were both excited about our new experience! Silver Dollar City had a beautiful light display, parade, and a very cool lighting of the tree. We missed the shows because it was so cold!

The show was absolutely wonderful! The babies could not take their eyes off the all the excitement! I thinke everyone enjoyed this trip! Thank you Mimi and Papa for a fantastic time! It was just the thing to get us in the spirit!

Chad's mom and dad took the family to Branson for a couple of days before Christmas! It was beautiful and Harry

Final Part III

Kimberly P is one of my favorite blogging buddies whom I do not know! I have always adored her words and her relate ability! She is so down to earth and just plain precious! Creighton is the coolest little boy! He is very laid back and so stinkin' sweet! The Polnick family watched the boys while we got some adult time! It was a treat! Creighton's family rocks! Kimberly also treated us to lunch! She has to put her recipes on her blog! The tea was my favorite and the pasta and the salad and the cake...haha!


Benjie (Creighton's dad) played with the boys in the backyard and as you can see they loved it! What a wonderful family! Kimberly took this picture, too sweet!

Friendly Part II

We loved our visit with the Satterfield family! We had the best most relaxing time with our friends Josh, Lauren, and James. The boys were perfect for each other, they ran and played the entire time! Harry played so hard, he would get hurt and not even acknowledge it because he was having so much fun. His legs are field with bruises! James is so much fun! He has an incredible sense of humor, I wonder where he gets it??

We went to Lauren's sister's neighborhood 4th party! It was hot, but the boys had a good time!
We spent the rest of the day cooking out and get a lot of quality time in! The boys once again played so hard! They did really well together!

Harry came home much more independent, James taught him a few things! He can now get his own meal out of the fridge!Chad a good time with Josh too! They played golf and had a lot to talk about!Lauren is one of my most favorite people on the planet! I know this sounds cliche but she is so easy to be around, the visit went by so fast! Thank you Satterfields for making us feel so welcomed! We had a good time, the 2 trips to Ninfa's made it even better!
