Great friends - Great weekend!

What a GREAT weekend!!!! Our great friends Heather and Evan came to visit this weekend. They moved away a year ago....so it was SOOOO great to have them back!!! I LOVED it and miss them so much! Their little Tyler is already 7 months old...so it was so fun to play with him too. He is getting so big already!

Friday night, Heather and I went to see the Broadway show "Wicked"!!!!! I had already seen it before...but last time I saw it, I was thinking about Heather through the whole thing and was like "I HAVE to see it with her!" So it was a blast and a great girls night out! It was our early 30th (ahh!!) birthday present to each other. :)

Emily and Little Tyler
Hailey given him her love :)
The only baseball hat we had in the house that fit him - of course it was pink...but he took it like a man. :) He is SUCH a good happy baby!!!!!
Then Saturday, we had a "friend" reunion for Heather and Ev and had a bunch of us meet at the Brewers game to tailgate! It was SOOO nice to go to a game without my beautiful girls! Even though I'd like to say I could actually watch the game now....I somehow never knew what the score was because I was too busy talking to friends without the usual interruptions from our lovely children. :) So it was SUCH a great night to get away! Here I am with some of the girls...

Heather, Heidi, Alison, Jen, me, and Kara

The guys made us girls try the "speed pitch" to see how fast we could throw. I had high hopes that I could throw as fast as Ryan... :) but nope....only 45 mph. :) Still, not bad! :)

Especially when I threw before Heather! My former high school cheerleader BFF threw a whoppin' 12 mph throw. I'm not sure what pitcher in the major leagues throws with a million dollar smile like that. No wonder it was only 12 mph! :)

Here were all of our reactions when we heard how fast she threw it... :) :) :) :) :)

I love you Heath!!!

And here was the biggest Brewer's fan - my friend Kara's 2 week old baby boy Micah. :) He isn't supposed to even be here yet...but had to come early since Kara just got diagnosed with Lymphoma...the SAME week that my cousin's wife got diagnosed with Lymphoma. CRAZY!!!! These two women are my new hero's though. They have OUTSTANDING attitudes as they face their new monster in life, tremendous trust, faith, and strength in God, and it's just AMAZING watching them handle this. If you ever think of it, please say a prayer for my friend Kara and cuz' Laura as these next few months will be rough. THANK YOUUU!!

Here's little miracle Micah :)
