Mom's Day Out

Last fall Courtney, Diana, and I started to meet up every other week for a "Mom's Day Out." Our children were all born within six months of each other and our husbands are all seminary students. We have a lot in common and have so much fun when we get together. When we started meeting, our babies were too small to really play together so we would meet at the mall or at a restaurant and just chat for hours. Now that the kids are getting a little older and the weather nicer, we have been meeting at various parks. It is such a relaxing time and so encouraging to be with other women who love their husbands, love God, and love being a mommy. I am so thankful that the Lord has brought such great friends into my life!


Owen is ready for a nap.

Owen to Broc: "Hey man, what's the problem? Don't worry, our mom's aren't leaving us. They just want to take pictures. Hang out at my house and you'll get used to posing for the camera."
Lana: "I'm ready! Take the picture already. I can't hold this smile forever."
Lana: "Forget it. If you boys can't get your acts together and look at the camera and smile, I'm outta here."
"There, there, Owen. You just let me give you a back rub while you take a snooze."

I figured if I told you I was taking a picture, you would try to stop me.

I like to see pictures of your friends! It might just be the nosey side of me, I'm not sure. But I think it is wonderful how many friends you have made down there, and Owen, too!

Being a mom has taught me the importance of interdependence in the family of God. I NEED the encouragement and prayer support of other mommies in the trenches! Some of my mommy friends and I are starting monthly girls night outs (first one is this Saturday - I can't wait!) where we get together without any kiddos to chat and fellowship. It's harder to have full length conversations when all our kids are together so this will be a treat. Will you all keep meeting during the summer?

Oh my goodness, your captions are so funny Josh and I are still laughing, cute pic's!! But Like Courtney said, you could have given us a warning, not so cute. I am looking at Lana like, "can't you stop messing with stuff for a second?"
I love meeting with you girls too!!
