Surprise........

To Me....

For months Destine' has had plans for a bridal show on this weekend.

The same weekend that Jenn was visiting.  

How clever they were.

I didn't know until we pulled into the parking lot that we weren't going to a bridal show.

Lori even made it for my surprise!

I am so glad that Destine' and Steven were able to be here.

They will not be back until October.

I think this last year of school is the hardest.

We miss her terribly.

It meant the world that she could be there for my big 4.0!

 These Crazy Girls!!!!

 We always have a blast with the Decker Girls! 

LOVE These Silly's!!!!!

BFF's!!!!

We were able to sneak in 7 year pictures of Miss Keira.

*They are debuting on the blog. Jenn has only seen a few posted on FB.

This is her first view of all of them.

I couldn't decide which I liked better the white vignetting....

.... OR the black.

Lots of competition going on in our house.

With the pending Tough Mudder coming up.

Daddy was getting in some practice.

While at the Beach Steven was able to do a few (3.5) push ups with Des on his back for the save the date pictures.

Daddy decided to try.

What I didn't get pictures of was him doing push ups with all the kids on his back first.

He was already wiped out from that.

Next time Sissy visits.

We had an amazing time with our Decker Girls!

I love that My Dear Friend makes the long trip every year.

It's not an easy trip on your own.

It is just a testament to how amazing our friendship is.

With my big 4.0 looming around the corner,

you tend to reminisce and really understand what matters.

We've been friends for half my life now, 20 years and counting.

Thank you for coming and my birthday brunch.

 *stay tuned for more from our Decker Girls visit...

Great Wolf Lodge is coming up next...
