Ashley and I have been friends since kindergarten. She moved to Tennessee when we were 14 and we have remained closest friends ever since. I think we have visited each other every year. My mom was sweet enough to buy her a ticket to visit this weekend. We had a great week of shopping, swimming with the kids, running (like soccer moms), and doing my dad's party.
We have so many good memories together of swimming at the Lake at Mimi's house, obsessing over Bobby Kross (our middle school crush), driving to Florida with her crazy friends, the list goes on and on. I am lucky have always had her as a friend. Every girl should be able to have a friend for a lifetime.
Dressed to go out to dinner and a Movie.
Ashley made the girls these blankets. We let the girls pick out their material. Whew, that was an event. Brittney tried to carry the whole role of fleece all over the store. Aren't the blankets cute? The girls love them.My dad has a cool sister - my Auntie Annie (Lizanne). She wanted to throw him a surprise 50th birthday party. She did a lot of work to make it happen and it was a lot of fun. I am glad that we were able to do it for my dad. He is such a great father and friend to so many people. He deserved his own big day. I am so lucky to have such a sweet and loving dad.
Auntie Annie threw a great party for Dad. She is the Hostess with the Mostest. The cake was so good!!! Gotta love HyVee cake.
Here is the birthday boy. Auntie Annie picked out an awesome party hat.
Isn't our daddy so cute? We just had to give him a birthday kiss.
Braedyn and Brittney loved playing in the sand. You should have seen their bathwater that night. Yuck!
What a great night at the Lake. Happy Birthday Dad!

That was so fun to see even if I didn't get to join in. I'm glad that you guys had such a fun time together. Next time you better save me some cake!
P.S. I totally get the Momma Mia look alike thing. That's funny;)
Awww, I'm lucky to have you too! We are very amazing and good-looking and very blessed to get to visit each other every year (thanks to the Mother). I love and miss you and loved spending time with the fam. The girls are too funny and I had a great time! I'm glad they love their blankets. Maybe that will help them remember me :) You should post those pics on your facebook so I can get them and I will do the same when I download mine from the camera.
your girls are so cute!! i am doing hair at home so you can just come over some time if you want, or you can bring them to the salon its up to you, give me a call.
It's sooo good to have a friend like that!
So - we did a bit of a last minute b-day party for Austin with my family and I just ran over to Bakers for a cake - HUGE mistake. The actual cake was good, but boy were we ever missing the HyVee frosting - there is a difference!
So fun to have Ashley there! Is it rude to say I'm jealous though? I wish I was there too! How fun to honor your dad. I love it when we get to do things for our parents. It doesn't seem like the opportunities come very often. Love the picture of you and Alex kissing him - and the picture of Braedyn and Brittney with their blankets. Ashley is so cute to do that.
I love friends. I have 3 that I have had since kindergarten and we have a girls weekend every year. I actually leave Thursday for Denverto see them all. Love It. Friends are the best!
