triplets turn 14

I can't believe the triplets are 14. Jami, Lauren and Karli Farmer are celebrating their birthday today...I just wish they would slow down and not grow old so fast. I was one of the first people to know that Laurie was pregnant with triplets and I was so excited. I watched her belly grow with the girls inside. I watched their 2 big sisters Kaitlin and Joslin while they were being born. I watched them grow in to beautiful young women. I love them, they are good friends and I am so happy to be a part of their life. Happy birthday trips!

the girl who has everything

A sneek peak into Baby Leah's nursery. It was all made special for her...she is one lucky girl. She has all of this and so many people who love her, what more could one little girl want?

the party

One of the funnest thing I did while I was home was hang out with the party...we have been friends for around 7 years, I really can't do math. Travis, Andy and I were friends in the Halls Lake Branch and then Emily got off her mission and Andy and Em soon started dating and got engaged (around this time we nicknamed ourselves the party, because we are so much fun and no party was a party without us). So it was the four of us, a few months later Nicki and Trav started dating and were married the next February. Here we are almost 7 babies later and still friends. I love these guys. I am so grateful for them and their love and support. One of the hardest parts of living away from home is missing them, and missing their babies grow. I tell them that I'll come back to them if they find me a job or a husband (no slow ones please)...they are on the look out for me. What good friends!

This particular night was one of the best. We went to TGIFriday's. We spent hours there eating and laughing. Oh my goodness we laughed so hard. If only we had a party quote board. One of our favorite things to do is reminisce back to when we began, sometimes Nicki doesn't like the story telling every time (we tell the same stories over and over again), but I love it, everytime we remember or learn something new. After drying our tears from laughter we went to the waterfront in Kirkland and walked around. Before that Travis got "cat called" while pumping gas proving that he's still got it :) We laughed a lot more and took tons of pictures trying to get good ones, we didn't ever so that is why the above pictures are there. I love the party and am so thankful to be blessed with their frienship all these years. I can't wait to one day add my husband and children to the group.

if you thought jared is bald, he isn't

Jared was really concerned with the picture of him that made him look bald. He wanted me to change it, but I haven't a clue how to swap pictures, instead here is a new picture. This is just a few weeks old so proof that he is in fact not bald. This picture was taken at Jared's house in Rock Island, WA when I visited him with Stephanie during my trip home. We had a fun time, I like all the Whites (Colton age 16 is my favorite) and it was great to meet Jared's niece Brielle and just hang out with him...kind of like the good old days.
