visitors

last week, kathryn, my best friend from high school, came to visit for the day. she brought reed's girlfriend, mary laine, for their formal introduction.

and just so y'all know who kathryn is:

there are a few more recent pictures of us, but i found this one and had to laugh.
1) we are rockin' some bangs.
2) i think this is our senior year at a super bowl party. (no idea why i remember this?)
3) i don't care for the super bowl/nfl. why was i there? must have been the commercials. or some boy. maybe kathryn remembers.

and while i'm at it, i came across this picture while looking through some old ones:

1) still rockin' those bangs.
2) candace, please take a look at the color of those caps and gowns. i rest my case. go mustangs!

anyway, back to the point of this post because i think that i had one when i started.

oh yeah, kathryn came to visit.

it's so awesome how we don't really get to see each other that much, but it totally doesn't matter. we can pick up like i just saw her earlier that morning. so after all the little people decided that they didn't really want their picture taken...

...we put those suckers in the bed for naps and caught up on all the happenings of life since the last time we saw each other. and, we planned a trip to SSI that will be taken at some point in the near future....with or without husbands in tow! and as much as we love our kids, they aren't invited!

wes is still talking about "mary wayne." hopefully, he'll learn how to pronounce his sister-in-law's name before the wedding.

also, a few days later, we played the role of visitor and took the boys to visit chase's grandmother. reed liked all the lovin', and the other two just bounced off the walls while we tried to keep them from breaking everything within reach. (she said she was glad to see us, but i'm sure what she meant was that she was glad to see us go!)

william does own clothes other than his "florida gator" outfit, but this is what he puts on every day. i guess if i'd just stop washing it, he wouldn't be able to wear it every other day. but since i don't have to waste time dressing him myself, i don't mind too much! plus, i like using my handy, dandy new washing machine.

anyway, i'll try not to be so random next time. i blame it on the lack of sleep. but, if anyone else wants to come visit, y'all come on. i'll be glad to have 2 extra hands around here!
