Emily's visit...

My wonderful friend Emily came to Spokane over Easter weekend to visit her mom (but really to visit us, right Em?) :)She is one of my oldest friends, meaning we have been friends since the 9th grade in High School! She is awesome and has been there for me a lot over the past 17 years! Can you believe it's been that long??? Sheesh! Anyway, She came over one night to meet little Taylor Rae. They bonded right away! :)

It's tradition that whenever Emily comes to town, her mom Jan invites us over for dinner! We love Jan!!! :) She is awesome and is always so good to us! She always has a delicious Italian meal for us when we come! :) I tried to get a picture of all of us on timer but accidentally cut myself out of the picture...oops! :)

Me and Em...

Jan and Tucker. She loves Tucker and Tucker loves Jan! :)

Tucker was just sitting there like a big boy in conversation while we were all just talking. Ben had to take a picture! :)

Jan gave Tucker a little Easter present (the spoiled boy) But he loves his Trio blocks!

The next day we went out to visit Gen and have a little reunion! Emily hadn't met her little guy, Wyatt. He is now 18 months! :) I love these girls. I was a bridesmaid for both of them and they would have been for me if I had bridesmaids! :)

We had some chocolate dipped strawberries which Tucker thoroughly enjoyed! :)

Meanwhile Taylor thoroughly enjoyed her carseat! :) I love this stage, when she is starting to discover things and focus in on them! :) So cute!

When I was going through pictures of Emily, I found this one from TWO years ago of her and Tucker at lunch! It made me miss his long hair!

What do you think? Should we grow it back out again?
Thanks for coming and seeing us Emily! I wish you lived closer, we love you!!!

We're dealing with the cut hair or not issue too. Though I'm thinking Summer isn't the best time to have long, thick hair.
