My college girls...

This weekend we had the awesome privilege and treat of having my college girlfriends at our house. Although not all of them were here, it was so incredibly wonderful to see the 5 that did come. The friendships we developed throughout our 4 years of living together in college are friendships that I will always cherish, no matter how much time goes by. Girls, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed our visit. I love you all and miss you, but truly cherish the times I get to see you.

In addition to just getting together for a much needed visit, one of the reasons for our gathering was to celebrate my dear friend Marla, her husband Ryan, and their sweet little girl on the way. I didn't take very many pictures over the weekend, but I did get a few of the beautiful Mama-to-be and her shower. Marla, Becky, Kate, Brie, and Carly, thank you SO much for coming. I thoroughly enjoyed having you here.

Also, huge shout out to Ryan for being such a good sport and entertaining Owen most of the weekend. Owen now has a new best friend, and to be honest I can't blame him. Ryan seems like a lot of fun....playing Legos, hiding pirate treasure, etc. Thanks Ryan! It was good to see you, too!

When you forget the wipes...

This is what happens when you feed your child a hot dog with ketchup for lunch at Costco and then let him play unsupervised in the dirt while you unload the groceries:

Sunday Afternoon Adventure...

First of all, sorry for the blog slacking lately. There just hasn't been much to blog about, I guess (unless of course you're interested in our stories of vomiting, coughing, being glued to the toilet, etc.) But since I thought it might be better to spare you those wonderful details of our lives, I haven't updated the blog in a while. Today, however, we actually ventured out and took the boys on a trek to Fort Simcoe...an outing we all thoroughly enjoyed (even though Owen is a bit under the weather.) Here are a few shots from our day:
