Summer Week 8 - Visit from the Evans'

It's Monday! Ready to start a new week.



The kids "dancing"




Look at that little ruffled hiney!

Poor Jake. He is constantly having to put up with Hollon hanging all over him.

"What? This is annoying?"



Wednesday night, Hollon got some early birthday gifts from my cousin Margaret. She had so much fun opening them!


Margaret also got her some coloring books. Hollon has never had her own coloring books. She has always just used some old leftover super hero ones from Jake. She was excited to get her very own.



Friday afternoon, some special friends arrived. My best friend Stephanie and her family came up from Fairhope.
Elizabeth & Hollon watching princess shows in our room
We grilled out and ate outside

Saturday morning, I hosted a brunch and a social for the makeup and skin care line Stephanie sells, Beauty Counter (Check it out {here}. Awesome company & products!!)

These boys have been pals since they were babies. On Friday, Jake told me that his eyes just couldn't contain their excitement to see Grant. Ha!



Stephanie & I and our kids
Hollon (2), Jake (7), Elizabeth (4) & Grant (7)

Our friendships spans over 19 years!
Photos clockwise from the top left: 1) Bid day starting our sophomore year (1998) 2) Stephanie & I when we were 8 weeks pregnant. Our due dates were 2 days apart! (2008) 3) One of the first times our boys met (2009) 4) our crew today! (2016)
I hope these girls grow up to be best friends like their mamas.

Steph & her family left Saturday afternoon. On Sunday we went to church.




That evening, the Bush's had gone to a farmer's market, so they invited us over for dinner. Hollon enjoyed the corn....
