(look how excited Zoey is!)
and her sister's boyfriend, Matt! She also really enjoyed dancing and playing with Zoey's brother's, Jake and Joe. Heather got some great pix of Addy with Jake, I'm going to have to copy those!
We are so tired now that we are home but we both slept well in our own beds last night. I had to work extra today for parent/teacher conferences, I'm so beat!! I only took 75 pix on my trip, I'm so disappointed in myself! I don't think Heather and I got pix of the girls in their matching shirts either!! Guess we'll just have to get together again!!!
At Ella's party on Saturday, we were all in heaven! What amazing beauties we got to spend time with! I don't know about you, but I truly think that children with Down syndrome are so beautiful. They are really breathtaking. I mean look at this:
The Birthday Girl!!! Happy Birthday Ella!
Ella's party was at a place called Sensory Time, very fun! Some of my favorite moments at the party were getting to meet Jax and his family. I have loved Jax for so long, his sweet little face has had me from the first glimpse! Addy thought he was pretty cute too :)
And I tell you what, little Miss Arina is soooo precious!!! She is such a tiny little peanut! She loved being cuddled, several of us were happy to oblige! I'm sure hoping that her daddy shares some pix he took (that's an obvious hint Lacey!) I got to meet Sweet Pea and her new baby sister Angel too! Soooo cute!!! Little Faith stayed with Ella so I got to meet her too! I met people that hadn't even been exposed to yet! What blessings!!!! Isn't blogging wonderful??? We tried taking a picture of all of the kids together. It was pretty much like herding chickens! We were all laughing so hard! The pix aren't great but you get the idea!!!
On Sunday we braved the torrential downpours to go to City Walk to meet up with Denise, Stephanie and Jenn! We ran into Hard Rock Cafe since it was the closest restaurant out of the rain! Talk about surrounded by cuteness!!!! It was raining so hard!! It was cold too! It was about 30 degrees warmer here in Missouri!
I think we need to have annual blog friend celebrations, they are the best!

Well,does the last picture count as pictures in their shirts??I am disappointed too.I think I was just caught up in you guys just being here that I lost track of time.Oh,and it didn't help that I forgot the camera battery on Sunday!
We loved having you.Have I told you that a thousand times already?Felt like we have known each other forever and we will you know.We will watch these miracles grow and we will stand in awe of all they have been through and how far they have come.
Love you friend and love that child of yours beyond words.
It was wonderful getting to meet you and Addy too! I do hope that we get to meet up again one day!!!
I seriously hate that you aren't here in Cali anymore!! I loved that we got to see you two days in a row!! I am so in love with Addy and can't wait to see her again (and of course you too...now we are back to texting again) I know that it is our turn to come to Missouri so I will work on that. So glad that you were here to help celebrate Ella's birthday...sorry she was off her game this weekend :( ***Lol....the word verification code is Cali with a "t" on the end. I am sure that is some kind of sign :)
Lets try that again. I was signed into my other blog and I am pretty sure you wouldn't know who I was.
You are so lucky to meet all those amazing families. Looking at that picture with all you moms and kids makes me feel so old.
How about you come to Salt Lake City in May...Sarah is coming!
As soon as I get my hands on those pics, I'll pass them along. Daddy has kept his super nice camera, along with all the pics, with him! I had such a great time, and we definitely should have an annual get together!
I agree these little ones are breathtaking! It was so nice to meet you and see your cute Addy:) Glad you had a nice trip to CA (sorry our weather didn't cooperate) Becca
