"If you are single there is always one thing you should take out with you on a Saturday night... your friends!" -C.B.

EXTRA EXTRA!!!!

NEW YORK CITY!!

Yeah I know-- you're jealous. 

Us gals have been friends for a LONG time, as you can probably tell from that pic, and we couldn't be more excited (we literally jump up and down every time we talk about it)  I've been planning this trip for a few months now and it's finally here! I'm in love with NYC.

Don't worry... I'll take millions of pictures and videos for all you stuck here in AZ

Wish us luck!

The other weekend The Father and his Sons were out on The Father and Sons... So us ladies, like most female friendly families, had a GIRLS NIGHT!  

We went to Sweet Tomatoes...

Grabbed us some Grub...

And had a blast together!  

We were so full from our "grub" that we had to take a walk around the shopping complex to relax.  We then drove home, put on our PJ's and watched Hotel for Dogs for The Beloved(s) (AKA our lil girlies).  Once The Beloved(s) were dreamin' in bed, us older females (and by older I mean my Mom and I... Cass'a'frass had fallen asleep) watched Bride Wars, a super cute Chick Flick.  We had fun Hangin' out together, and I hope there are many more nights like this to come.  We missed the Boys of course and are glad they came home safe and sound!

Now...

I'd like to introduce you to my Best Friends 

{a Best Friend is a person you can trust, someone you can tell your secrets to and they keep 'em, someone to cheer you up when your sad, and someone that'll always be there for you, no matter what}

Meet Cassie (Cass'a'frass)

I honestly don't know how I would ever get through the days if she wasn't part of my life.  She knows me, every crazy part of me, and still loves me-- she still want to hang out with me, still puts up with all my crap and still laughs at my lame jokes. Cassie is beautiful and talented, smart and funny, she's made cheer at Highland AND One Image for next year, she has style and her hair is always perfect, everyone loves her because she knows how to make you feel like you matter, Cassie won't judge you, she'll be your friend, she'll love you for who you are, like she does me.  She's everything I want to be, I look up to her.  She always cheers me up, she always knows what to say, and what I want to hear.  I love her. She is a tender mercy.

Meet my Mom

My Mom is beautiful, inside and out, through and through.  You will never find a more loving, caring, sympathetic, funny, stylish, happy, giving mom in the entire world.  She loves me despite everything I do wrong, and loves me more for everything I do right.  She has enough patience to harbor 50 more children in the safeguard we call home.  Her opinion means everything to me, I respect her and hope that I become just like her, in every way.  She makes me feel like I am someone.  She's always there for me. I don't think there's enough time in my life to be able to repay her for all that she does for me.  I love her forever and ever.
