Much Needed

After almost a year of not seeing my BFF Andrea she came to Ohio for a visit and her sister's graduation, so it was with great excitement that she came to Columbus for 2 days to see ME (oh, and her sister...but really ME - just teasing Natalie).  Along with getting to see Andrea it was my first time getting to meet her new little boy Lincoln (10 months old) and spending some quality time with her oldest Noah. 
 We hit the Zoo in 95 degree heat and I have to say the kids did really well considering how awful it was outside.

Tiger Demonstration and we arrived at the perfect moment...it was incredible.

The following day I was able to slide away from the kiddos for a few hours and get some coffee with Andrea and some shopping therapy.

We had a great time together but it was much too short.  Thanks for coming Andrea and taking the time away from your large family to see us.  Miss you already!

Thank you

We want to give a big "THANK YOU" to our friends the Wannemacher's for coming to see us this past weekend...we had a blast getting to hang out with them over the Columbus Day weekend and more importantly getting to catch up with Sam, their adorable little boy.

Shayden and Quinton were pumped to have another guy to hang out with and we had a great time packing in the activities.  Here are some fun pics from the weekend.

Dallas Visit

Okay so this post is a little late, but we had a GREAT time in Dallas a few weeks ago visiting the Wannemachers and meeting baby Sam for the 1st time. Let me just say Shayden was enamoured with him and did not want to leave his side. Sam loved the attention - except when Shayden decided to kiss him SO much the layer of slober was visible from 10 feet away.

Along with getting to hang out and see Dallas again the boys enjoyed their 5 yr reunion and we all had a great time at the Homecoming Parade. While the boys enjoyed golf the ladies were pampered...all in all it was a fabulous week - thanks for the invite guys!

The boys loved the parade and Shayden was dancing to all the music.

Shayden tried his 1st pair of cowboy boots - Ryan's childhood pair that Sam will soon sport

For the faithful who read all the way to the bottom - enjoy this special treat!
