Besties...

Madeline's BFF Lexi and her family came to visit last week. Those girls are a MESS! I am still so sad about leaving our sweet friends in Texas, but it did cross my mind while they were here that those girls would be t-r-o-u-b-l-e together when they're teenagers! :) I'm not sure that Brianne and I could survive them living in the same city! 

We had such a good time while they were here, and it made me miss San Angelo. We made such wonderful friends there...hopefully this fall we'll be making a trip that way! 

We spent a lot of time at the beach, and when we were taking a break from the beach, the kids were in the pool! We had pretty weather last week although it was HOT! I didn't get a whole lot of pictures because I accidentally washed my phone with the beach towels the first day...oops! Luckily, it was in a ziplock bag and I have an ugly otter box case on it. I put it in rice and it survived! 

Madeline helped me pick out some little welcome presents for them the day they came...she was beside herself with excitement and then she wouldn't talk to them when they got here. haha They brought Madeline a fancy Barbie car, and got us the cutest "R" and coffee mug! 

Madeline and Lexi started the first night out like this, and all you could hear coming from Madeline's room was nonstop giggling. It was so cute but they did have to be separated so they'd sleep! 

Best friends necklaces...I know I'm biased but I think they're pretty much the cutest 4 year olds I know! 

The girls with Addy, who might be the most well behaved child on the planet! She's so sweet! 

Pretty beach...

These two were checking out some fish in these people's cooler. Madeline couldn't get over the fact that they were still alive in the cooler. She had to pet the big fish. 

Duane caught 4 at the same time while we were up there...one for each kid! 

Karter isn't scared of anything...fish, crabs, he didn't care! 

Sweet Lexi carrying the fish with her purse on her shoulder! #mykindagirl

Madeline wanted to keep the fish, but reluctantly took him to the bucket!

Hitchin' a ride down the pier cause they were sooooo tired! 

Pool time! This was seriously the best I could get...

Nap time...it only took them 2 and a half hours to give up and go to sleep. They were so cute once they were asleep! 

Stylin' in matchin sunglasses! 

I didn't get one picture of Brianne and me. :( How did that happen? We ate at Crab's, went crab hunting, hung out here talking and visiting around the pool. I am so thankful for sweet friends who will drive forever to come see us. It did my heart good to see them! 

We love y'all, Killam family! :)
