Fishing birthday party!

Christian's friend, Tyler from Cub Scouts had a fishing and boating birthday party!

 It was only Christian's 2nd time to go fishing but he LOVED it! We bought some crickets and hung out by the shore of Lake Ann.

 Tyler's dad took turns taking a few boys at a time on their boat too!

Christian enjoyed learning to bait a hook and cast his line into the water. 

By the end of the day, he was a pro!

Christian and his best friend Andrew enjoyed being together and fishing!

The birthday boy (in the green shirt) had a great party and enjoyed having all his cub scout friends there.

The party favors were little tackle boxes for the boys! Great idea and what a fun party!

Lunch with Tasha!

A couple weeks ago, my friend Tasha (who lives in Little Rock)came up to Northwest Arkansas for a visit. Dara, Susan and I met her for lunch at Eleven, the restaurant inside Crystal Bridges. 

We had a fun, relaxing and kid free lunch on a Friday....which is a very RARE occasion.

Thanks ladies for making the effort to get together and catch up with Tasha!

I had a great time!

CUMC Women's Gala!

This year, I attended the CUMC Women's Gala again with friends from church.

I did not host a table this year, but we all sat at Tricia's table that was really cute!

The theme of the table was "In the Name of the Game"! It was decorated with various board games and our names were done with Scrabble pieces. Very clever! 

After the Gala, Elise, Ama and I sat on the patio of the After 5 Grill and had a great time visiting. 

So thankful for amazing friends!

Best Friends!

Christian has had a great 2nd grade year! He has received straight As this year! He also enjoyed joining cub scouts for the first time! His fellow classmate Andrew, is also in cub scouts with Christian. They have become best buddies this year. So much so, that each Wednesday, they take turns having an after school playdate. One Wednesday at our house, one Wednesday at Andrew's house. He is the sweetest boy and I love having him over to play. I also love that his mom and I have become good friends too. 

Since I still have a few close friends from grade school even in my 30s, I love thinking that the friends Christian makes now may be his friends for a lifetime.
