Stephanie and Rachel

A couple weeks ago, one of my good friends from hair school came to Utah to visit. Stephanie now lives in Texas and it was SOOO fun to see her and her cute kids. Rachel still lives here so we see each other often. The three of us, plus 5 (nearly 6) kids got together a couple of times that week. The first day we let the kids make a disaster of my house while we tried to talk over the top of them and the TV. The next day we went to Olive Garden with our kids. It was a lot of work and we didn't get to talk very much but it was still so worth it. My kids were definitely the worst but I still take them everywhere with me. They don't hold me back, they just give me a workout most the time. See what I mean, how much fun does this look like? Seriously Addysin, can I have some space? (not such a good picture of me, just proving a point)Here are some fun pictures. Looking at these got me started and I got looking at all of our pictures together with our friends from hair school. I wanted to post them all, but I held back.

Here is a pic from two years ago of our first three. Braxton and Ava had just turned one, and Addysin was 4 months old... little chubby bunny. I cant believe its been that long. I still remeber that day clearly. I spent forever doing my hair in hot rollers for the first time and it didn't turn out right, I was mad... This was 2 weeks ago... wow they've grown up! Ava loved Caiden, it was so cute. And you know he loved the attention, look at his eyes gleaming...

Rachel had her baby 6 days later, a little girl named Madison Vella. Between the three of us we have Aidan, Caiden, Addysin, & Madison (and Braxton & Ava, but they don't rhyme:)! Funny huh? During dinner, a very elderly couple walked by super slowely and just smiled at us. They looked really amused. I know we look a little young to have so many kids. We looked like a day care. And I felt really bad for the people sitting around us. After the chaotic dinner...
We missed our other friends from school, but everyone has moved away :( I'm so glad Steph took the time for us from her busy vacation schedule!
