Besties

"A friend is someone who understands your past,
believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are"


I left behind a huge piece of my heart in Kansas. These wonderful ladies became like sisters to me, I talked to or saw them almost daily. Our children were also best friends, so it made it very easy to get together. There are so many wonderful memories I have with this bunch--so much laughing, so much crying. I will miss our B.S.S., weekly late night movies, craft days, baking days, babysitting co-ops, play dates, lazy summer swims, Cheesecake Factory and my going away slumber party!

So to Elizabeth, Karina, Chalesse and Olivia, I say thank you so much for sharing your lives and your talents with me. You are all examples to me of wonderful mothers and daughters of God. You have each made me a better person, and I am so blessed to call you my friends! I love you all forever!

We sure know how to reproduce!
Here's our collective offspring (minus two of Elizabeth's boys):

This picture pretty much sums up each little personality of these three year olds!
Jace, Jack and Owen---never a dull moment!

Here's our five daughters together, this photo makes my heart happy.
Sarah, Mia, Reese, Olivia and Amelia
~Best Friends Forever~
These boys and their video-game/pokemon/wrestling antics...
Many a happy hour was spent doing one or all of the above!

Here's Aidan, Brayden and Cardon

Ally and Brinley got along so well despite their age difference...
I loved Brinley's Halloween outfit this day!

All of these photos were taken on our last full day in Kansas.
We got the kids together for some after school snacks and photos.
And this is where we had to say goodbye :(

It was so hard to let go of our best friends...
Our friends will forever be in our hearts!
~and~
Like I always tell them:
We're just a short 16 hour drive away!
