After my amazing trip to Georgia to see my sweet friend Julie, it was a great treat to connect with two other special women in my life (whom I don't get to see very often). First I was able to spend a few hours with Jennifer (Peters) Spohr and her wonderful family. The boys and I met them down on Balboa Island on Sunday. We walked and then stopped in for a famous Frozen Banana treat-YUM!!
**A little history: Jen and I met over 16 years ago when we were both single. We went to church together and were in a Bible Study together too. I was in her wedding and she came to ours- We were pregnant at the same time with our oldest kids. I hadn't seen her in over 7 years!!**
Since the Spohr family didn't have plans for dinner and I didn't want our time to end yet, we invited them over for dinner. I must work well under pressure because we threw together a tasty BBQ dinner that everyone enjoyed. The kids got along marvelously and the adults enjoyed sweet time outside in the lovely evening weather.
Oh yeah, it was their youngest's 4th birthday. I had some cupcakes leftover from Jason's birthday so we sang Piper Happy Birthday and made a party of it!!
The cute Spohr girls and their yummies
Yep, that's mine!

Nathan & Makena- they were babies together!
Today the boys and went over to visit the Blyth family who are on holiday from England. The Blyths lived in California for several years- even had all four of their children here- before returning back home to England. Sharon is a dear friend whom I was in a Bible Study with. Any time they visit Cali I have to make sure we get a visit in.
It's been about a year and a half since our last visit, but we picked up like it was yesterday. Although it was a cloudy day, that didn't stop the kids from having a great time in the pool!
