A Friend in You

This post is all about friends (with a happy ending of a little glimpse of Hoogie boy)We all love ‘em and need ‘em. And in just one week, I’ve seen a plethora of them. All so fantastic in their own ways. Join me on a tour of my friends -

These most lovely ladies are former co-workers from sunny St. George. In just a few short months, life has taken all of us in 3 very different directions. But our friendship cannot be deterred by miles or mountains.We will be FF’s (friends forever), I know it!

-oh, HE is one of my BFF’s-

 

Scott & Kyle shootin’ the breeze @ a wedding reception.

So we show up to this reception last weekend. No gift in hand, no signing the book or waiting in ‘the line.’ No, we had other plans. Our friends the Hamlin’s from Portland came out to the Beehive state to attend a brother’s wedding. We don’t know the brother, but his reception was the perfect meeting place. It felt weird eating the refreshments but offering no congrats to the happy couple. Oh well.

I’ve only met Andrea (the blond one – the blond that’s not me) once before. This was the second time. But we know each other well. From our blogs. Haha isn’t it funny how the cyber world has united us?  And Nat is just a gem. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: you can take a girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl… or something like that.

 

The master maker of a a smashin’ (no pun intended!) delicious guacamole @ our BBQ on Saturday.

Oooo I just LOVE her. Can never get ya enough of some Whitney.

Pepe & Kyle, @ the grill. They BBQ’ed up some a.maz.ing carne asada. The best Mexican fiesta I’ve been to! All we needed was a pinata and some sombreros. And some tequila? Na.

Casen is discovering faces. Cody has an awesome specimen for the tike to learn about eyes and chins and such on.

Johnna was also a sport in allowing him to learn about noses and ears.

Casen didn’t quite fit into the whole ambience of Market Street Grill. He was loud and obnoxious and didn’t leave a very good tip. For some reason he gagged on the sautéed mushrooms he so desperately wanted to try. We had to pick up the slack and be more generous to our accommodating waitress.

Dinners with T.C. & Johnna NEVER disappoint. They are 2 of the most true friends one could ask for.

And now for a quick show of Casen’s latest and greatest.

Mmmm. He LOVES his carrots.

But the first time feeling of grass? Not so much.

Reggie demonstrates how to pose for the camera. Case of Base will learn one day.

Ohhhhh. Caught Red, chubby, Handed!

Sitting up like a champ these days!
