This morning I woke up after having 2 of the craziest nightmares I have ever had…I was ready to be awake haha! 

I got the kids up and got them dressed, ate breakfast and cleaned the house a little bit. My friend Melissa was coming over. I grew up very close to her and her family. She moved in with me when I was in my 20’s and we even went on a trip together to California, her, my sister Kimmy, and me. We drove all the way there…what a fun memory that was. About a year and a half ago, her and her husband moved their family to California. I havent seen them since! They got here around 2ish. I was so excited! We talked, laughed, and picked up right where we left off..like we always do! She is such a great friend! Her kids and my kids played so good together and her son Gage is the most polite little guy I have ever seen…hes 8! He always says no thank you, or yes please, and he says thank you for everything. Such great little kids all of them!

Every time Melissa comes over she holds my kids like this…I wonder if she will be able to do it standing next year lol

this was the last time she was here

and this was the year before that

I think we will be making this a tradition…Mel and my twins!

Me with her kidos…Eve, Liv, and Gage…I love them!

This is their family…they are so awesome!!!

Peyton gave Eve those necklaces, she was so excited to know that Eve lives in the same state as Mini Mouse :)

and Liv too!

And then Rody came home and we had to do selfies with him lol

Her and her hubby…I kindof hooked them up, because I told Ryan that she thought he was cute…Which Im sure gave him the go ahead to ask her out ;) I remind her of this every time I see her!

Im so sad for her to go back to Cali :’( She will be missed!

Isaac finally warmed up to her :)

And the bouncy house was definitely a hit! They were friends right away!

We were cracking up because we went in the bathroom to do Peytons hair, cuz the girls wanted to see what I do to make it so curly. While I was getting it wet, Liv (who is 5) said “why does she have a afro?” I said “because shes half black and half white.” When Melissa came in Liv said “mommy Peyton is half black!” And Melissa told her that Rody was black and thats why. And then I said, “its kindof like your grandma, shes half Mexican.” And Liv said really loud “I didnt know Grammie is a Mexican!!!” We all cracked up! Then she said “Bikki, you know what? I am more Mexican than my mommy because my eyes are darker than hers, right daddy?” and Ryan said “ya sure!” It was so funny! I love how kids think…and talk!

Then I told Gage that Mykenzie thinks he is the cutest boy ever…and he looked at me all serious and said “how does she know Im cute if she barely even knows me?” haha Melissas kids are so funny!!! They had me cracking up the whole time!

After they left my sister Melissa brought Hailey and Evan over well they went shopping for a coat for Max. They ate spaghetti with us for dinner, then the kids played while I curled Haileys hair, which takes a long time! While I was curling Haileys hair, Kenzie was playing with the laser light. Isaac was trying to smack it, and Peyton was just staying away from it, but Evan was terrified of it. We were cracking up! Whenever it got close to him he would get really scared and panic! So I made her stop! Then Kenzie showed Rody what he did, and Evan jumped in Rodys lap. Hahaha he doesnt ever really go to Rody. We were just laughing so hard! He acts the same way he does when a fruit fly flys around him in the summer. I guess ya had to be there lol

I wasnt done with Haileys hair yet so Melissa left and I took Hailey home when I was done. She looked really pretty! But we decided not to brush the curls out until the morning, because they will stay in longer. :)

This girl has some pretty amazing hair! I had so much fun with them tonight!

Then Kenzie and I went to Kroger to get a few groceries, then home. Now I am getting tired and want my bed! What a great day it has been!
