Fun with Friends

I feel very blessed to have such sweet friends. I work with these two lovely ladies Jennifer (left) and Amy (right). We came up with an idea about 9 months ago...we felt like since we love each other so much, we need to get our families together and hang out on a quarterly basis.

So every three months we pick a date that works for everybody and get together to hang out and eat...of course. Since it's been so cold we have been indoors mostly, but the first meeting we had, it was still summertime...we busted out the baby pool and let the kiddos play in the water while the guys cooked hamburgers on the grill and the girls chatted it up....fun times

Here are a few pics to capture the memories...


This is everybody eating and having a good time. We joke...thank goodness our husbands have learned to love each other too. They have all been good sports about participating in our quarterly get togethers and I do think it's fair to say everybody has genuinely been having a good time.


This is actually our third time to get together. I was a bad girl and didn't take pics of the other two times...but we decided we were going to start at least taking pics of the kids so we could see how much they change...since we will be doing this for a long time :)


Brayden is Amy's little stud on the left, then Briggs (who is the baby), and Jennifer's two little beauties are Bella and Olivia.

Jennifer and I were both pregnant at the same with Briggs and Olivia. It was fun to have a pregnant friend who I saw every day at work. She was about a month ahead of me so she was a good source of knowledge and would help prep me for what was to come.

Amy was probably officially my first friend in Birmingham. When we moved here 5 years ago, she was my supervisor when I started with this job. Since then, we have ended up working at the same facility...roles changed and I eventually became her supervisor. We have been through many life events together...her meeting and marrying her best friend, getting to add sweet little Brayden to their family, Jason's (her husband) deployment to Afghanistan for almost a whole year and much more...Now we are just coworkers and good friends who love our babies and our patients.

I have a special connection with both these ladies and am very thankful for both of their friendships.
