The after, after party

Let me introduce you to Heather. Heather and I have been best friends since the 2nd grade. (she was the older wiser 3rd grader) We lived across the street from eachother and played daily. If I came over to play and left something of mine laying around, her mom would make me do chores to get that item back. That's how good of friends we were. Either that or her mom REALLY wanted someone to clean her bathroom floor. Now that I'm a mom, I'm kind of leaning toward the latter. Heather's daughter Jamela was my flower girl at the age of 3. She' now 19 and gorgeous. Heather and I haven't seen eachother in years, but it felt like yesterday. We had an after, after party at our hotel when the big graduation party was over. This picture was taken in the very early hours of the morning.
Man I miss her. She's the most sarcastic friend I own, and that's really saying something!!!!

Crazygirl spent the entire 10 days on my phone talking to her best friend Sidney. At one point in the drive, I think she was giving her a play by play on how many cows we were passing. I can't wait to see how many minutes were racked up on this trip. This is how she spent the party for Uncle Rob. I think Sid could tell you everything about that party!!!

This is my brother Dave and my cousin Scott. I'm so glad that married life has calmed Scott down. Bwahaha! Scott is probably one of crazygirl's favorite "uncles". He dishes it out to her, and she hands it right back, which makes for great entertainment for everyone else. man I can't wait til he has kids...

Heather's 2nd daughter Maddie was 2 days old when I came home from my mission. She and Crazygirl share the same birthday, just a few years apart. Jake and Dancingqueen are the same age. There was lots of screams and running for eachother when Dancingqueen and Maddie saw eachother. These 3 grew up together. I can't believe how old everyone is getting!

This picture is of some of the cousins. They spent the ENTIRE party marching around saluting. Bug was a ball of sweat and dirt after doing this for 4 hours. She slept so good that night though!!!
