More Friends!

Not only do I have a wonderful group of childhood girlfriends, the RahRahs, our family has been additionally blessed with a wonderful group of adult friends that we have made over the years. We have seen each other through all the trials of family life with work and children. They have been a significant source of strength, encouragement and support over the past few years and I know my life would never be near as wonderful without each and everyone of them. Thanks friends!

Pre Easter Celebrations

So, what's Easter without a couple of Easter egg hunts? These hunts are getting more elaborate every year. My how times have changed:) First we went to Grammy Judy's church the week before Easter and then we went to our church's Easter Celebration the day before Easter. Oh yah, there were also some beautiful bluebonnets...

Bailey's good at posing

Do they smell?

These were an extra special treat from Daddy Jeff

RahRahs

I have the bestest group of life-long friends that are so precious to me. We've been friends for so long there's too many years to even count anymore. Every year we take the time to get away for a weekend with no kids or husbands. And with 6 husbands and 8 children between us, that is quite an accomplishment. This year we just went to the big town of Murphy, TX and hung out at Sara's house. The past 2 years have been pretty low-key, but we have already started planning a bigger, better trip for next spring. Can't wait. Oh the name, Rah Rahs??? We were all cheerleaders together at some point in high school. Although, we sometimes barely see each other besides this one weekend every year, I know these girls are family and will always be there for me, anytime I call. That's what life-long friends are for. I love you girls!

A Little Behind...

Apparently March has come and gone- we had lots of fun. So much so that I never even stopped to blog about it all. Bailey and Riley are starting to have a lot of sister time together. It's really sweet to watch them play outside, and it helps Mommy to have time to cook dinner:)

       Riley will probably be driving before Bailey
      Higher Mommy!
 Look who's learned to jump rope
As much as Riley hits her head every day, she needs a helmet:)
