Fun day with lifelong friends

A few Sundays ago, our friends, The Hutchisons, came to spend the day with us. Tasha and I have been friends since the 4th grade. (And today happens to be her birthday! Happy Birthday Tash!!) The four of us went to 2 proms together, were in each others weddings and we’ve made so many memories together over the years.

Our kids are stair-stepped, which has been fun for many, many  years.

As a matter of fact, I have a cute story about that.

They got married first and our wedding was 9 months after theirs. Tasha was 2 months pregnant at my wedding. Jason and I had planned to wait 5 years before beginning our family. When her daughter was born, I went to see her in the hospital. Something came over me like nothing before… I had been stricken with the baby fever. I went home and told Jason that I “needed one” too. Needless to say, Braden was born 9 months later… ahem…Apparently I can be quite persuasive where my husband is concerned! Ha!

We will actually have a child graduating high school every year for 4 straight years, skip a few years, and then my little girls will follow behind by a few years. Won’t that be fun?!

We had a wonderful day of hanging out, laughing, playing and EATING some yummy food. Jason H even helped my Jason put together a bed while he was here. Now that’s a friend!

I snapped these pics of the kids playing Rock Band.

There’s nothing like friends that you’ve been friends with for many years longer than you’ve NOT been friends with them.
