"Compney"

Did anyone read that title out-loud? Yeah, that's how I pronounce what you educated folks may call "company". It's just more fun that way. ;)

Last weekend was a great weekend in the Brown House. Some of our favorite people, the Rutherford family, came to visit us from South Carolina! William had talked about Grace coming for days. In fact, he was up at 6:45 Friday morning, singing, "Gwace is coming, Gwace is coming." Carolyn got some great pics right as the door opened of them being excited to see each other! William had to show Grace his room, the playroom, and every other room. He is so funny about this "new house" business. 






Once I got home, we all headed different ways. Robbie and Paul took William and Grace to dinner and to see Planes: Fire & Rescue. They loved it! Carolyn and I were headed off to Lynnwood Grill for girl's night with a couple of our faves. Which then also turned into a movie night (movie shall remain nameless to protect us ;)).  Everyone should just go see a dumb movie, drink a little wine, and crack up laughing with some girlfriends. So.much.fun. 






The movie theater sold wine!! Score.

Saturday morning, Carolyn and Paul had to go unpack a POD, and because I don't like being hot, I begged (lol) to watch Grace and William at home, and it worked! ;) We had so much fun, dancing to the hot dog song, playing the fishing game, playing with bubbles, and just making a big ol fun mess. Afterwards, we met up with C&P to have lunch. Paul took the kids home after that to nap, and Carolyn and I just ran to Target for "one thing". Well 4 hours later, we arrived home. We found some great deals during our two hours at Pier One, and couldn't pass them up! Hey, we both just moved into new houses, and I can't stand blankness! We joked with the saleslady that we were buying all of this for our new house together, since our husbands were going to kick us out!







Later that night, we headed to Scott's 2nd birthday party!! It was totally train, plane, and car themed, and everything was SO cute!!! William's favorite part were the train tracks heading up the sidewalk to the front door. In fact, he ended up skinning his knees later that night, chasing Scott down those exact tracks, haha! Scott was so sweet and shy when his cake came out and we all sang Happy Birthday. So sweet. We had a great evening celebrating that sweet little boy!!!







I stole Luke from Holly, and as soon as William spotted him, he said, "I need to hold that baby." Sooo he did. So sweet!



So sweet! Hugging goodbye!

That night, Grace and William wanted to sleep in William's room. We were nervous, but we let them. It took over an hour for them to settle down, haha. They did well all night, until 5:30 am! They were both crying, so I ran in there, and William said he wanted to come to my room. I said, "OK but Grace is going to go to her Mommy and Daddy's room." Grace was sooo pitiful, "But I want to be with Williammmm", so guess what? Two little monkeys came to my bed. Shew.


After showers, we were ready for church! I had a taste of having two kids (shew!), and fixed them both waffles, took them to church in my car, got their check in stickers, and took them to their class. I almost made it - but we were halfway down the hall when I realized Grace didn't have her bag. William helped me find it (way back at check-in) and all was well. However, I don't think I'm ready for two babies yet! ;)


Love this!!!
William was so sad when they left. :( He keeps asking if Grace is coming back. Bless his heart. As said as it is to hear his little pitiful questions, at least we are blessed enough to have such good friends, that we miss dearly!! Carolyn and Paul - start planning that next visit! You are welcome anytime!!

Proverbs 18:24



Apparently, Robbie and I must have a love language of hanging out with friends. That is all I kept thinking when I was uploading pictures. Since I really haven't blogged since FEBRUARY, minus our Disney trip, I will spare you of individual posts of each fun night together. Instead, I am doing this crazy long, picture-filled post, so I can have my memories! You're welcome ;) 

Going to see Molly and Claire after we got back from Disney. William was so excited to show her how to work her new Minnie Mouse.
And to have some tacos for dinner. ;)


Y'all. He LOVES baby "Cwaire". I mean, obsessed.

Claire was happy about her new bib!



Girls night foreverrrrr ago! Love these ladies!




We met the Thomsen's at Southpoint for dinner to try the new burger place there. William and Will got a little restless and headed outside with the Daddy's. ;)



Zucchini fries, anyone?

Will thought William singing the ABC's was hysterical!



The boys!
We had a rare night out with the Robinsons, sans kids. It was awesome!!! We splurged and had Firebirds, and all got to talk without being interrupted!! Score!



Pizza with the whole Robinson clan, I think the very next night after Firebirds maybe. What a difference 4 kids makes, haha!





Celebrated Caleb's birthday at the Robinson house. 





Chick Fil A with the Butchers!!! 


And then celebrating Willie's birthday in March!




Dinner with Grace is always cause for excitement!
A group of girls from our Sunday school class got together and made Resurrection Eggs for Easter. It was so fun to sit around and talk! 



I had the absolute privilege of being able to be a part of LAMBS this year at my church. It was a bible study that met on Tuesday mornings, and my boss was so sweet to let me leave work and attend. We had our last small group meetup at Abby's house. Such a great group!!


These two mamas wrangled the two Williams...at the Mexican restaurant!




PDQ dinner with the Robinson family! As soon as William sees the girls, he automatically wants to do Ring Around the Rosie! Haha!




Lunch break with Laura and TWO of the girls! ;)


One of our last Friday playdates before the Rutherfords moved away. :( Fun outside and then a Frozen party with popcorn!!



Dinner at the new Tijuana Flats with some of our fave people!


Hilarious girls night at Lynnwood Grill, followed by driving all the way downtown to Krispy Kreme (in a minivan no less; yes, we are cool). 



And a late girls night to go see Mom's Night Out! 


Cowfish to celebrate Krista and Susan's birthdays!! 



Willie and Ashley's sister, Robin, planned the most fun fiesta for Ashley and her mama's birthdays! We all met at a Mexican restaurant downtown! Look at the awesome cakes, or are they margarita glasses?! ;) We had SO much fun celebrating with everyone!





Robbie's parents came up to visit, and we all had dinner with the Robinsons. William and Eleanor cracked me up when they crawled into Leroy's lap!


Of course, another round of Ring Around the Rosie!
Ashley and Willie brought us pizza when we first moved into our house, and William was way more interested in feeding Baby Claire her dinner, than eating his. 


Oh my word. These last two pics. So sweet of W and Grace. This was right before Carolyn and Paul moved back to Greenville. Poor William had NO idea Grace was moving. He was just so happy that he got to spend the morning with her at church. Love that baby girl and her mama!!!



Again, sorry for the random dumping. If you have stayed this long, I promise to reward you soon with some more informative posts. ;)
