Back to August

So, along with looking back to the cell phone picks like mentioned in the last post, I found a few more that I had forgotten about and wanted to post.

The first is from a sweet little princess party that my girls went to.  This was for Kaylee's best friend Olivia.  Kaylee and Olivia met in 3's preschool and have been best friends ever since.  They have never been in the same class again other then that first year, but they have always had a special bond.  About a year and a half ago they moved to Gilbert.  That was hard on all of us as I have also become really good friends with Olivia's mom, Holly.  Olivia has a younger sister, Julianne, that is a little younger then Alexa and they have become good friends too.  Even though they are about 40 min away we make a point to get together on school days off, summer, spring break, or just random Saturdays here and there.  Well, as if we didn't think that was hard enough being so far, last month Holly told me that her husband got a job transfer to Virginia and they are moving as soon as their house sells.  I just got the word they are leaving right before Thanksgiving.  We are all so sad and going to miss them so much.  It is really hard loosing good friends.

These next ones are from when our friends the Studderts were in town from Texas.  We always have such a fun time getting together when they are here visiting and our kids have so much fun playing together!
