Cute Company

This past weekend a long time friend Brandy and her little boy, Ryder, came to visit us.  I was so fortunate to see her and to meet this little man who is soooo CUTE!   He is very popular so most people who read my blog know them.  They arrived on friday night with Nicki and Mikayla who visited with Liz.  We had take out at my house when they got here and then on Saturday we started off at the park…..

Time to get down and dirty at the Sandy Park.  After the park we sampled some yummy food at the farmers market, painted and then had lunch outside.  It was such a beautiful day! We headed home so they could all take naps before dinner.

Then they needed freeze pops after all that outdoor exercise!

Bradley has not eaten these as much as Ryder.  He was looking confused listening to Brandy explain how to eat them.  Next, on Saturday night we went to Liz’s house for dinner with the four of us and our 6 kids combined.  It was a little CRAZY but a lot of fun!

We stopped the playing to take a picture for Daddy.

Then this was Sunday before Ryder and his Mommy headed home.  After being in the house together morning and night I finally got a picture of the three boys together.  If Alan and Brad only knew when they were friends in high school that there boys would play together one day.  They are both such PROUD daddy’s!
