We'll Be Friends Til We're Old and Grey:

True Friendship isn't about being inseparable, it's being separated & nothing changes.

I have not seen my best friend since my wedding day (her husband is also in the Military, so we have been stationed on opposite sides of the country), and when I saw her today, nothing had changed, and we fell right back in to being 'Traci and Sarah'! I was so excited to see her today, and to meet her new little guy, Easton (and this would be her first time meeting Charli)! We always used to talk about getting pregnant at the same time when we were growing up, so our children could grow up being best friends! How crazy is it, that it actually happened!! 

Sarah and I have known each other since we were in Elementary School, but it wasn't until High School that we really became absolute best friends... And since then, we always have been, and I know we always will be! 

Sarah and her husband are in transition of duty stations as well, so they had the same idea as us, and are vacationing with her family for the next few weeks until they head out to California... I KNOW... I move away from California and back to the East Coast, and she heads to California from the East Coast... (Gotta love the Military life)! But I am very thankful that we will have these next few weeks to spend together! 

We had an amazing day today, meeting each other's babies, and catching up with each other! Easton is almost exactly 3 months younger than Charli, and they got along so well! Charli just loved playing with him and all of his toys! And we of course had to do a mini photo shoot of the two of them... So not sure if these two will be 'best friends', but more like 'boyfriend/girlfriend' ;)!

Easton Charles- 7 1/2 months, Charli Adele- 10 1/2 months

And she didn't waste any time... haha

Giving Easton lots of hugs!

Charli Adele... Watch your hand little miss.. hahaha!

If that's not love, I don't know what is! haha!

HAHAHA! Poor Easton!

Charli was giving him so many hugs and kisses... She was being so sweet to him, but she also doesn't quite understand being gentle, or nice just yet! haha!

'Shhhh... I am going to hug you, and you will like it' HAHA! 

Again... Poor Easton...

'I'm so confused as to why you are clapping after what you just did to my face?!'

Oh, and this is something new that Charli has now started doing... Climbing...

After lots of playing at Sarah's Momma's house, we headed to The Loop to grab some lunch! It was a perfect day spent with my best friend!

... Then We'll Be New Friends!

Weekend Update: Birthday and Graduation Celebrations:

After a week of having a sick baby who is also teething... We were excited for the weekend and being able to spend it with lots of friends and family! 

Charli and I started our weekend off poolside on Friday... (What else do you do when you are on a month and half long vacation in Florida, with a pool in your backyard?!)

And I'm pretty sure the fur babies are enjoying themselves as well...

Saturday, was a morning full of running errands with my mom, and then a little bit of this while Charli napped... Perfect morning if you ask me!

Some of my parents best friends, and my dad, all have birthdays within days of each other, and every year we have a big birthday bash for all of them. So on Saturday afternoon, we headed out to our friends house at the beach to celebrate! :)

Happy Birthday Papa

My brother couldn't be there to celebrate... He is currently in nursing school and is swamped on the weekends with clinical's... 

Happy Birthday Dad, Mitch, and Shelly! 

Sunday was my dad's birthday. Steven and I got him a waffle maker (if you know my dad, you know he loves cooking breakfast, and he used to make my brother and I waffles every weekend, and this is something that Steven and I do now!) So we thought it would be the perfect gift, especially since his granddaughter loves eating her little waffles too! ;) Needless to say, it was the perfect gift, and we of course put it to use for his birthday breakfast! 

Charli loved her waffle too this morning for her Papa's birthday!

After breakfast and some more pool time, my mom and dad were off to the country club to play a round of birthday golf, while Charli took a nice long nap (over 2 hours). When she woke up, her and I were off to one of my best friend's mom's Bed & Breakfast out at the beach for a dear friend's graduation party!

Figg Tree Inn Bed & Breakfast

The famous Figg Tree!

 It is so hard to believe that sweet Hannah is graduating from High School. I used to babysit Hannah when she was a little girl, and I nannied her younger sisters. I have watched Hannah grow into such a beautiful and amazing young woman, and cannot believe she is already graduating. I am so proud of you Hannah, and I am so glad Charli and I could surprise you today and celebrate with you! We love you so much!

And Charli of course got lots of lovin by everyone! It is days like today that I am so happy to be back home for a little bit. Watching the people I love, love on my little girl so much!

Doesn't every baby eat their shoes?! 'Look Ma... No hands!'

After the graduation party, it was back to the house, to enjoy a fabulous birthday dinner with my family! Happy Birthday Dad, I am so thankful that Charli and I could be here this year to celebrate! We love you! 

It was a great weekend, and we are looking forward to a busy week full of play dates, that will be starting tomorrow!!! I get to see one of my very best friends who is in town!!!! 

Hope your weekend was fabulous!
