Kentucky

Some how about 2 1/2 years have passed since I've seen my best friend Kendra. We were roommates in college and have become even closer friends as the years have passed. She just had her first baby Stanley John beginning of January so I've been dying to get out to see her and finally was able to 2 weeks ago. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law offered to stay with the kids so I didn't have to take them and could just enjoy some good quality friend time - THANK YOU Vera and Traci!!!!! :) You know you are awesome friends when 2 1/2 years have passed and it felt like we had just seen each other last week - we do chat on the phone a lot! :)

Stanley was about 10 weeks old when I was there.

Awesome mommy and her cute baby boy!

Oh did I have so much fun holding and snuggling this sweet baby boy!

Stanley has the best hair ever - seriously check him out! :) Eric (Kendra's husband) and I were having some fun with him - so stinkin cute!

At the airport saying good-bye - sniff sniff - it was so much fun. We have plans to meet in St. Louis this summer so glad I have that to look forward to!

Happy 4th Birthday Kayla

How is it possible that our little girl is 4 today. All those seasoned mothers that told me to enjoy every minute because it flies by is 100% right! None of our family was able to be here this weekend to celebrate so we decided to have a friend party yesterday - pics of that to come. Kayla and I were looking through pics of her at each birthday mark and it was so fun. (okay probably more fun for us but amuse me and check out the pics)

A little birthday song from my sister and I to Kayla! :)

Vacation....from blogging too

Okay, so we have been home for a couple weeks now and I can't get caught up with everything. We had an AWESOME time - how could we not I know. Pictures will come eventually. I got sick that week we got back and just taking me awhile to now recover from everything.

Some exciting news is my brother and sister-in-law had their first baby on Feb. 27th (again, i know i'm so behind). We all thought for sure it was going to be a girl but it was a beautiful baby boy. Welcome Luke Thomas!!!! I can not wait to hold my handsome nephew!!!! When I told Kayla and Ethan that they had a new cousin Kayla's response was, "I wanted a girl cousin." She does have a girl cousin on Micah's side of the family and she has come around and is very excited about her boy cousin now, I think. Love to Chad, Sondra and Luke!
