Going to See Gracie!!

Braedyn and I went to visit the Soelbergs in Arizona. We became the best of friends with them when they lived across the street from us here in Omaha. Braedyn and Grace have been buddies since they were five months old. They looked so much alike people would ask if they were twins. They would also ask if Erica and I were sisters. We were all so sad when they moved last year. Braedyn and Grace still talk about how much they miss eachother.


It was wonderful to finally see them again. Braedyn and Grace were as if they had never been apart. Oh, and Mae was so fun. She is a little songbirg - singing everything. It was just like we were family coming to visit. Unfortunately, we brought the rainy weather with us from Omaha, so we didn't swim and boat as much as we planned but we did do makeovers at the mall, go to dance class, and get pedicures (just us moms did that). We went up to their family's cabin and hung out with Alan's family. It was beautiful up there. Both of their families are so nice. I feel like I fit right in. We spent the last day by the pool and the girls swam with their barbie dolls. We love being moms together.


Erica and I were just so happy to be together and so were our girls. I could have stayed two more weeks. It was a great trip.


Braedyn was sooo excited to fly on the plane. She hadn't been on one since she was 18m old. She talked and talked and talked about everything on it. I am sure the other passengers loved us.

Such a cute picture of Grace and Braedyn. We went to Alan's family's cabin up in Pine (in the mountains). It was beautiful up there, but a little chilly. Braedyn was pushing Grace in the cool tire swing they had. Swinging is what they did most of the day up there.


Braedyn got to go to Grace and Mae's dance class. Erica is their teacher. Grace wanted her glasses so she could be like Braedyn.

The one picture we took of us. This is after two days at the cabin. We were pretty grungy by then.

Here's some pictures of our little girls together. They have been buddies since before they could crawl. They were so cute together.


We just happened to have these matching outfits. We love to dress them cute and take them to the park. We had such fun with our little babies.


I love this picture. The image isn't the best but it showed how much fun they always had together. They were like little sisters.



They spent every halloween, every birthday, everything..together.


They played every day up until Gracie moved.

I'm so glad I'm the first to comment on this post. That was so much fun to have you here!!! I REALLY need that picture of them in the swing. That is so cute. I have to say - I'm a little embarrassed about the picture you posted of us. I have a better one - I'll send it to you ASAP!!!!

How fun. I think I was one of those poeple who thought you were sister when we first moved in. I'm glad you had fun. I think the photo of you too is beautiful!
