Dinner With Friends

We have been hanging out with different friends for lunch and/or dinner almost every day this week. We are trying to find time to say goodbye to as many people as possible. Last night we drove out to Mt. Juliet, about an hour from here, to see our friends Katrina and Erik and their kids.

We first met Katrina and Erik when Kennedy was in the hospital in 2005 when her duodenal web was discovered. She was in the hospital being fattened up with nutrients so she would survive surgery to correct the blockage and their son, Kaleb, basically lived in the hospital at that point while he awaited a kidney transplant. The kids were just a few months apart in age and we spent a lot of time together hanging out, playing board games after the kids went to sleep and just making the best of hospital life!

Kennedy and Kaleb in 2005 :)

Kaleb and Kennedy today :) Both kids are doing wonderfully! 

Here are all the kids last night... they have one new addition... Kaleigh, and we have two more! haha Their nephew, Tyler, was also there to join in the craziness fun! Thanks guys for having us over! It was so much fun hanging out! My kids slept great last night!

First the kids played in the pool... 

Kaleigh... :)


Goofy Kassidy

That's better!

Chillaxin' 

They're GREEN!

Kaleb :)

She's a diva, even in her mask!

Enjoying the cool water

Look, Ma! No hands!

Deep Sea Diving

Erik spinning the girls around

She's fashionable no matter what she wears! 

After they dried off they played in the driveway... and the lesson we learned here is that Kennedy needs serious driving lessons before she turns 16. I'm scared. 

Kennedy and Kaleigh... Kennedy crashed... oops! 

Policeman Kameron to the rescue! 

Kennedy's off and driving again. 
Kaleigh's no fool, she got OUT while she had the chance! Keeghan... not so smart! LOL 

"R" is for "Radio"... right?! 

Kaleigh found a much safer car! ;)

I think Kaleb was about to be run over by Kennedy!

Kellsey's holding on for dear life... no one's safe!

OK Kennedy's been arrested... the roads are safe for driving again. 

Except now Keeghan's driving! This may not be much better!

You can't catch me, Mr. Policeman!

Those darn kids stole my police car! I'll get them yet!

Muah ha ha ha ha! We win! 

Thanks Kaleb and Kaleigh for sharing your super cool toys with us!!! :o)

Loved all the pictures! All the kids are just to cute! I got a crazy question. Can you please find out what kind of shoes Kaleb is wearing. And who sales them. My oldest little boy Kolby has really flat feet, and I'm thinking those might help him. We have tried everything we can think of from AFO to sports braces with no luck! Thank you!
