"If Friends Were Flowers, I'd Pick You."

Monday morning Lauren and I had the opportunity to meet some friends at the mall for a little playdate. Our mall has a little kiddie area and our kids all had a blast! Well, I say that....Lauren took a little while to warm up to the whole lots.of.kids.are.in.here.and.some.are.yelling that was the play area. Once it cleared out a little, she found her groove and got right in there with the boys.

Isn't this picture of Dylan so precious? 

My dear friends Mandie and Leslie.

Mandie's little ones were so cute. It was so obvious how much Dylan adores Kyler. He wanted to be right there with his big brother. Love that. 

The slide was the happening place to be! Preston looks so serious here. Or maybe he was just thinking I was crazy for always taking pictures!

Lauren and Preston. Leslie and I always joke around that our kids are going to get married someday. But, can you blame us? Look at the two of them together! =)

This was my best attempt to get a picture of all of the kiddos looking at the camera! I love Lauren's face in this one. Get me out of here, Mama!

Oh my word, I love that girl. She truly brings such joy to my life. I cannot imagine my life without her. 

She is so special to me. 

When we were done playing we headed over to ChickFilA for some yumm-o lunch! Lauren wanted Kyler to ride with her so Mandie was sweet enough to let her ride in their stroller!

We had a really fun morning and I am thankful for these girls and their sweet kiddos. I think it is so important to surround yourself with friends. I love that these girls challenge me, encourage me, and inspire me to be a better mom, wife, friend, etc. We missed Carissa and Bethany, but hopefully they can make it next time!!!
