Road Trip!

Yesterday, we took quite the day trip with Allie and the boys to see Becky and Miss Elli at the zoo.
It was a blast!
Love me some girl time - I swear there was not one silent pause between Allie and I both ways. (That's 4 hours worth of chatting, friends!)
Becky is just about the sweetest ever.That baby bump she's rockin'? Cute beyond words.Elli was so well-behaved and beyond adorable!
So, minus the heat, the crazy maze of a zoo, the tight pathways that our massive strollers/wagons barely fit through, and the impossible-to-find food... Bubba and I had a fantastic time. 
I didn't take many pictures.. shock to all, I know! Something about three women with the giant Canons and 80 bajillion babies (okay 5, but still) was just too crowded. Hopefully the other girls will post some good shots from the day!
Until then, enjoy the little ones from the trip. Bubba and Jude - besties for life. 

 

Sorry these are blurry.. but Bubba couldn't stop waving to baby Jude!

Jack also found a toy he loved at Allie's house...The fact that he had no pants on made it all that much better.

p.s. I picked a new winner for the Shabby Apple giveaway because I was never contacted by the first! Amy, e-mail me by Saturday to claim your prize! lifeafterblog@gmail.com
Happy Thursday! Bubba and I are checking out a potential daycare today.. wish us luck!

We're Blating

On Saturday we travelled to Ohio to visit with Allie and family!

The plans for the day included a festival at their church and grilling out. While I was really excited, when the morning finally arrived, I was nervous!
What if it's awkward?What if our husbands don't get along?What if they are total weirdos?! 
Safe to say I tried on a few different outfits. Google mapped their house. And texted my sister our whereabouts for the day... one can never be too safe right?!
When we got there, there was not even ONE awkward second. I felt like I already knew Allie (in real life) and we had a BLAST!
Can we just discuss how amazing it is to hang out with other YOUNG married people with kids?! We love our friends, but no one gets where we are at right now!The only married people we hang out with our my parents and their friends - it's just not the same!Allie and Jordan were so welcoming and easy to get along with, we can't wait to get together with them again!
Also, lets discuss their boys...We all see their adorable little faces on the blog but they just don't even do them justice!Not only are they handsome, they are SO well behaved.They did what they were told the first time and played so nicely with one another
Jack was in heaven trying to keep up with the two "big" boys.. And baby Jude was such a snuggle bug I had to fight John for cuddle time with him!
I think you get the point that the day was awesome, so now I will overload this post with pictures :)
