Friends ;0)

on our way back from meeting Victoria we stopped to see our friends the Palmers. Unfortunately Oliver is not doing well and we really wanted to see him and let the kids play together for a while. 

It was so sweet. Everyone was so excited about seeing each other... including the adults.

The Palmers have a pet that my kids were fascinated with. 

Meet Hermione!

 My kids thought she was really cool. Well Kael and Briea did. Cullan was indifferent. Ayla would look but that was about it. 

 She is a strong little turtle. She would try and pull herself out of the box and stretch her neck out so long. I always thought it was funny. 

 These two were like two peas in a pod. They had so much fun. I love Jarens face in this picture.

 Finny really loved Briea's pink boots. He stomped all around in them. I just love this picture. I think he is such a cutie!

 Someone had let the palmers borrow a game that Oliver really liked. He had convinced Ed to play with him, even though Ed assured him that Oliver would beat him. It was fun to watch him have so much fun. 

 Briea was LOVIN all of Eden's baby dolls and Barbies. I think she could have stayed much longer to play and love on her dolls. Not to mention she thinks older girls are pretty cool, so there was that as well. ;0)

 Poor Garran was not feeling well at all and was super tired. He feel asleep like this on their couch. I could not resist snapping a picture of him.

 Who is that cute thing sporting a mustache? 

Ayla saw the older kids playing with these. She brought it over and I put it on  her. Of course I had to snap quickly because she proceeded to rip it off. But it sure was cute. 

 I told Ollie that I need some pictures of he and his family to update our wall. I had not seen them in a while and so I needed some new ones. Ollie is such a funny kid. He started hamming it up. The top one  makes me want to sing that Rico Suave song. 

 These to pictures just make me smile. Oliver has an awesome laugh. It is most definitely contagious. When I look at these I can just hear it in my head. 

 Of course we took a group shot of all our littles together. We don't get to see each other as often as we would like so I always like to take a group shot when we get together. 

Thanks for letting us drop in Palmer Family!!

It was so much fun to chat and catch up!
