Summer picnics and stepchildren are the best things in life...

I love my stepchildren - or my kids - as they prefer to be called.... none of this "step" stuff. Absolutely nothing puts a smile on my face more than chatting with Molly on facebook and trying to message Nate thru her at the same time.... and then I'm even friends with Molly and Nate's friends too! Gotta love being one of the more "popular" parents with the kids. I can't wait to see one of Nate's football games!

And, then there's nothing better to do with your friends than have a summer party! My friends Jodi and Todd have been married for 8 years now and look at all they have accomplished....! Yes, FOUR GIRLS!!! All under 4 years of age - the twins will be four this November! Now that I know where they live - I'm going to have to visit more often, especially once I move closer their direction! Left to right below - Camryn, Lauren, Avery, Payton

Payton and Camryn busy working on their "masterpiece"...

Of course, Kristin P got to hold Avery the most.... at least I got to get my "baby fix" in for about 10 minutes.

Kristin S and Lauren..... and then me and Camryn....

And of course more friends were spending the day with us.... one of our gracious party hosts - Todd....

The coach and best bud - Jim...

Katherine...

And our other favorite little family - Beth, Andy and Chloe!

A good time had by all of course and it was a beautiful day!!!

More pictures soon of other summer time activities....!

Have a great evening!
