From 13 to 31

We spent this past weekend with my best friend Robyn and her family on the ranch they live on! Robyn and I have been best friends since we were 13. Our birthdays are 1 day apart and our moms were in the hospital together with us. We have celebrated all the big milestone birthdays together, laughed so hard we cried on many occasions, gotten into some trouble together and seen each other through many ups and downs of life! It is one of those once in a lifetime friendships and I'm so blessed to call her my best friend! We have been having silly photo shoots together since we were 13 and below is our first one and our most recent one from this weekend. I found several others to get scanned and will add those later.
13 and feeling oh so cool!
31 and feeling very blessed!

It was the perfect weekend getaway filled with way too much delicious food, lots of laughter and many more memories made to add to the 18 years of history we have together. We took the kids on a picnic Saturday, took some family pictures for Jerrod and Robyn, ate two amazing dinners and Sunday went to the zoo. Ava had a blast between playing with Lexi, Will and Tate, the dogs, cows and horses on the ranch and then seeing all the animals at the zoo.
Preview of the family pics we took- these are Mother's Day gifts so I'll have to wait to post more. What a beautiful family!
These two became buddies quickly!

First trip down the slide by herself and she loved it!

Enjoying a beautiful day at the park!
Daddy's little cowgirl!
Ava did not want to leave the cows
Can you imagine being a kid and having all this space to ride your bike?
Wouldn't you love to look at your back door and see this view every morning?
This turtle was huge!

She loved the aquariums!
Those sweet curls just melt me everytime!


The petting zoo
Look at the size of that lizard!
King of the jungle!




Justin got this picture, pretty awesome to be that close to a gorilla!


One worn out little girl... she and Tate both slept the entire way back to Abilene in the car and I had a nap myself!
