Good Bye Dear Friend . . .

Dear Candace, Hannah and Molly,

I am going to miss you very much. Your friendship means so very much to me! Whenever we were together, I had the best of time. You girls are amazing and my life has been more enriched having you in it. I'm not quite sure what to do this summer without you - I am going to miss swimming and bouncing and playing in your basement. :(

I know how special you girls are, and I am so grateful to have such wonderful friends in my life. Not everyone gets to have such amazing and true friends - I am very lucky! I know our friendship will be fine - it has made it through a lot of years and we have only grown stronger and closer. I can't wait to visit you in beautiful CO and you will always have a room here in Gilbert!

I love you all! Here are some fun pictures of our last outing together at Jump Street. As always, it was awesome!

xoxo forever and ever!

Love,

Lizzie, Karsten and Ella
(and Ava too!)

And the celebrations continue . . .

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANNAH! 

We were able to celebrate Hannah's birthday at a full size gym! The instructors took the kids and the parents went upstairs to watch from the balcony. (This didn't please Ella too much as you'll see later.)

Here are the kiddos lined up - and Ella not facing in the right direction or paying attention. :)

Following the instructor to the next place to play!

Here is Ella crying and brother trying to console her, to no avail. I had to go down TWICE to get her! She said she was frustrated (wrong use of the word) and she missed me. At least I know she loves me!

Happy Birthday Hanz!

Kar and Ella longing to go back down - well maybe just Kar. He really wants me to sign him up for gymnastics! Is that better or worse than when I signed him up for dance class?

Miss you.

Swimming Friday's

The troops go swimming again! We took little Ava to Hannah and Molly's on Friday for swimming! Of course we all had a fabuloso time! Snacks and drinks out by the pool, little ones splashing around, catching up with my best buddy - life doesn't get much better than this!

Ella's all show, right after she put all this stuff on, she took it off and played outside the pool. (See below)

Hannah showed Karsten how to do a cannonball - here it is in ACTION!


Look how gorgeous Molly is! She looked like a blonde Pebbles.

This is what Ella did the entire time we swam; she then recruited Ava to play with her.

Candace had a great idea to bring the jungle gym to the side of the pool and have the kids slide into the pool. Hannah and Karsten LOVED it!


I love their friendship! It melts my heart!

Bounce Jungle, Baby!

ow much do I love my friends, especially my buddy Candace! I met Candace ages ago, when we worked together at SW Dental. She and my other buddy took me over to Glovsky's office with them and we worked together until she had Miss Hannah. I am so thankful that we have stayed close even though we don't work together (I'm at a completely different office now) and she is with her girls at home. Our kids play really well together, they are all different ages, but it doesn't seem to matter. Candace, Hannah and Molly have all the BEST places scoped out, so it's so much fun to see where we will be going to next! This past Friday we went to Bounce Jungle. It's a place that has two huge rooms of tons of bouncy things; slides, mazes, bounce house. Fun! The kids had tons of fun of course and here are the pics to prove it. Thanks Candace, I love being your friend!
