Catching Up With Special Friends

Last week was a special treat - my friend, Lauri, and her kids came for a visit.  We ate lots of good food, went swimming, played at the mall, and did a lot of hanging out.

Connor, Kaitlynn, Jackson, Ryan, Luke, Sarah, and Jacob


One of the nights everyone stayed over at our house late so all of the kids borrowed pj's from Jackson.  We all got such a huge kick out of Jacob and Connor in way too small pajamas.  It was seriously hilarious!

All of the kiddos at the mall.  We love out sit and stand strollers!

Another shot of all of the kids.


We were very busy with the kids but we still had some time to catch up and just chat.

Lauri, Katherine, me  (we missed you Amanda!)
It was pretty much chaotic the whole time but we had a great visit.  We have been working for a while to settle on a house for our Destin trip next summer.  I think we are almost there!  It will be the three of us and our families plus Amanda and hers.  17 people total.  Should be totally WILD.

You got some GREAT pictures, Dana! Be prepared to read just about the exact same post with nearly the exact same pictures on my blog very soon, haha! Thank you so much to you and Katherine for letting us tear up your houses and play with all your toys (and borrow your too-small pajamas, LOL!)

We sure missed Amanda and her kiddos, but now we have something way more exciting to plan for! Wild on Destin here we come!!! Hee hee.

Loved our time all together! We had a great week hanging out and I love getting all the kids together to play and make such fun memories together. You got some great pics!

Love you girl!

At least I have Wild on Destin 2012 to look forward to. I can't wait for all of our families to be together for more craziness and fun times! I'm guessing we'll all need some time back at home to recover from our vacation, but oh the memories we'll have!

So glad that you guys had such a wonderful visit. I wish we could have been there.
