Weekend Update

This past week/weekend was full of visitors and good times! Gigi and Bpop came in town last week to visit for a few days. Gigi got some special Ava time in and Mikey and Ben were able to play golf, twice!

Ava seems to think it is so fun to pester Gigi

and aparently Bpop as well!

Not really sure about this one other than we were watching the Royal Wedding and then afterwards she wanted to wear her sunglasses and princess shoes. I guess she thought that was her way of dressing up like the princess.

After Gigi and Bpop left, this Momma left to meet up with some of her best friends for a girls weekend to celebrate my 30th birthday. We first met for brunch at Breadwinners followed by hours upon hours of shopping at Northpark and then dinner at The Porch and dessert at La Duni. The weekend turned out just as I imagined it would. So many of my sweet friends showed up and we had a blast doing girl things and not worrying about our kids!

Speaking of kids, they were in EXCELLENT hands with their daddies all weekend. Zack and Bekah stayed at our house with Mikey and Ava while I stole Jenny away for the weekend. Many of the other Dad and children combos joined in while the moms were away and it sounds like they had fun as well. They all went to Chickfila for lunch, played at the park, then came back to our house for pizza and more playing that evening. All of us moms were talking about how we wish we had a camera to watch them. The dads did an outstanding job of taking over all the parenting duties! So well in fact, I think we need another girls weekend again soon! ;)

These are out of order but I took these of the girls once we got back home on Sunday morning.

This is when it really started to getting entertaining....when the girls walked around in my heels and Bekah broke out in modeling poses for the camera

Work it Bekah!!!

She's a natural! She even had the pouty lips and everything!

What precious friends!

Christy and I with the "med school" wives as we refer to them as. They all met and became friends because their husbands were in med school together. I was blessed enough to be introduced to them by Jenny and they are as great as they come!

The girls surprised me by taking me to La Duni and ordering a delicious Tres Leches cake for me!

Here are a couple more pictures taken from some of the guys' iphones while we were gone

Thank you to all my sweet friends (and their husbands) for making this such a special weekend for me!
