a little reunion

This past weekend, we had our quarterly weekend with our friends the Poe's and Donoho's....but we also had a fun reunion visit from our old friends from Dallas - David and Candice Stites and their 4 beautiful girls! They were our old small group leaders when we were all in Dallas together. We were trying to figure out the last time Wade and I saw them and it has been 7 years! They moved to TN and we moved off to Montana, so between that and all the births, we haven't seen them in that long! It was such a FUN weekend and so great to hang with everyone. David and Candice were on their way home to TN from Fort Worth and detoured up our way to NW Arkansas to get to see everyone. We are so glad that it worked out. Even though we don't get to see eachother that often, we always pick up like we haven't missed a beat and have so much fun. I laughed and laughed and laughed! Here are the guys jamming out to Metallica guitar hero....

Here are all the kiddos together....guess which one did not want to get in the picture? Of course, my child! From bottom left: Lucy Anne Poe, Carrigan Stites, Amelia Stites, Ella Poe, Callahan, UPPER LEFT: Isabelle Stites, Carson, Lane Donoho, and Anna Kathryn Stites. Lots of kids, but they all did so great that weekend!




Here is our attempt at a group shot, which actually turned out pretty well except that the moment I walked off from my camera - I nudged it (unknowingly) and off-centered the picture. Oh well, at least we are all in the picture!




I took a picture of all the mommies and kids in the pool because when I went outside, it looked like a bunch of fish in the pool!
