Back it up to September (i finally got the pictures to work)!....
My BFF I've known forever is ANGI! At 3 years old, we started dance class together (taught by her mom), lived 3 blocks away from eachother, grew up in the same ward, had the same group of friends all throughout school, moved away to college together and were roomies for a couple years (till she got hitched), and still have a wonderful friendship! She is the best! And, I have to say I look up to her so, so much! She's pretty much SUPERWOMAN! She has 4 stinkin' cute little kiddos (ages 4 and under....yes, I told you she's amazing)! When we found out we were pregnant with Emri, Angi made plans to come visit after the birth. Well, then she found out #4 was on the way and had to postpone the trip, but just for a few months!
Angi's sweet hubby gave her 2 thumbs up and she and baby Ty (3 mos) were on the plane to Ohio, while he played Mr. Mom to the 3 other kids at home! We had such a fun time while they were here!
Ty didn't mind sharing Emri's pink chair! In fact, I think he really enjoyed himself in it!
We spent one day at the Columbus Zoo....and the kids had a riot! ha ha!
Ty zonked out most of the time; he is such a mellow little guy! E chilled with her feet up and enjoyed the ride! She looks HUGE in this picture!
We did a videochat with Angi's hubby and kids at home. Her twins didn't know what to think of it! I'm not sure if it was a great idea.....after the fact Brock called saying one of the girls was crying because she wanted to see Emri more! So sweet! I know they missed their momma too!
Emri and Ty are 4 months apart. You can tell it in the size difference of their thighs!
We spent a day out at Easton shopping. Emri blew out of her diaper before we even got out of the car! The onesie went right into the trash can! Not that we have the kind of cash-flow to throw out her clothes whenever they get a little "soiled", but EVERY SINGLE TIME she's worn that particular shirt it has happened, so I'm guessing it was cursed?!?!
The kiddos loaded up in their carseats! Don't they look thrilled to be dragged around with us?! I was rounding some things up before leaving and I looked out the door to see Angi carrying both carseats and kids out to the car at the same time. I couldn't stop her! I feel like such a wuss because I'm always saying how much stuff I have to lug around for ONE kid! Yeah, I won't complain ever again!
So cute! I love babies in jammies! I could just snuggle them all day!
We also took Angi and Ty to see the "Shoe" where the Buckeyes lose (I mean play), and to the Columbus Temple!
It was so perfect to have Angi and Ty visit us. It was actually during Brett's finals week which worked out great so we could do our own thing and not bug Brett while he was trying to study!
One night Angi and I watched a chick flick and stayed up way late (till at least midnight!!) talking and reminiscing! We did the "remember when" game and laughed till the tears were flowin'! Most of the stories were classic memories of living together in the dorms. The best was the time that Angi fibbed (not lied) about me having food poisoning so we could get out of going on a double date with some boys we weren't "in to!" Silly! I'm sure the guys totally believed us! ha! Ang, thanks a million for coming! It was so great to have you guys here! And Brock, thanks for playing Mr. Mom for a few days so I could hang out with my BFF!
Who's been your best friend the longest??
