Good Times With My BFF

Last Wednesday Kristen {my BFF} from Texas came to visit with her girls.  They got here just in time to catch one of Grant’s baseball games. 
Grace  and Jeff became instant friends again.  She decided his lap was the best place to sit.
Here’s Grant playing in right field.  I think he noticed me standing on the fence with the camera . . . so he was trying his hardest not to look at me.   
After the game we got everyone settled downstairs watching a movie and we spent what felt like hours sitting at the kitchen table going through old pictures and reading old notes I had written her.  I have never laughed so hard in my entire life.  First, it’s hard to believe that she held on to all those notes and second, it’s even harder to believe some of the things I wrote.  They would definitely make good blackmail material!!!
It was nice and sunny on Thursday afternoon so we headed to the pool for a few hours.  It’s a win win for everyone because the kids love to swim and it gives Kristen and I a chance to sit back and relax and catch-up on everything going on in our busy lives.

I couldn’t resist posting this picture of Grant sitting on the rope right next to this sign . . . I hope the homeowners association is not checking this blog or we will be in trouble {again}.  Long story but it has to do with my children sitting on the rope.  They always seem to come around while we are at the pool!!!
Thursday night we got everyone dressed up and headed out for a photo shoot.  Silly me forgot to check the camera setting before we started shooting and I didn’t realize it was set on a sports/action setting until it was too late.  Several of the pictures are really grainy.  I guess we will have to try again in a few weeks when Grant and I head down to Texas to visit.
