Great Friends & Great Fun

{July 2011}

Over 12 years ago I met one of my best friends, Jen Z.  We were Nannies and we seemed to have quite a lot in common, we really meshed well.  We both later got  married to our "Missionaries", had our own little families, and we try to once a year make time for one another.  We now live in different states, but we try and talk once a month or so.  The wonderful thing is it doesn't matter how many times we see each other a year or how often we talk we pick up right were we left off!

The last time we saw each other was two years ago, so all of our kids had grown a ton and we actually added one to the bunch.  It was nice to see all the kids enjoy playing with each other.  Thanks for the fun morning out Hess Girls, can't wait to see you next year!

 Kinley (8), Emri/Maci (4), Olivia (4), Payton (1), Marcus (8), Emri/Maci (4), Sadie (2), and Alec (7)

Marcus and Kinley are both 8 years old.  Marcus is almost 7 months older the Kinley.  I love how they act like this is not "cool", I can't wait for a few more years to pass and they will secretly look forward to the picture were we ask them to sit by each other.  Because then it will be fun to sit by someone cute of the opposite sex!

Yes they thought it was painful to have to have these pictures taken!

Alec is the only one not born the same time as on of Jen's kids.  Kinley is 7 months younger then Marcus and 14 months older then Alec.

Maci, Emri, and Olivia.  They are all three going to be 5 this year.  Jen and I were due a few weeks apart, but they ended up being about 6 weeks apart.

Here are our babies, Payton and Sadie.  Sadie is 7 1/2 months older the Payton.  She is two and Payton will be two in December.
