Turns out Kasen can sleep anywhere. I went to my friend Kristis house the other day to hang out and Kasen took a nap. It was quite nice to have him sleep and to talk with my friend like I used to everyday and let the other kids play. I sure do miss Kristi. I still have not written about her moving. It was kind of hard to think about for awhile there. And not that they have been gone that long but still. I really love Kristi. I love her because she is so dang young at heart! She is upbeat and peppy to talk to. She tells me everything and I her. She knows more about me than prob anyone. She brought me out of my shell and be friended me when I needed a friend the most. She is not a judger. She likes me for me and lets me in her house anytime and trusts me with her kids whenever and where ever and same goes for me. We can talk for hours and hours. We really dove into motherhood together and had all our babies right at the same time and all our kids are each others friends. So its great to babysit or whatever because it was never babysitting for either of us. I would do anything for her and I feel the same from her. We would sit on her driveway as the little kids played in the water table. We would set up pools and slip and slides in her front yard everyday. We would go to my backyard or front steps whenever we weren't doing that. She is my great friend and the best neighbor and I am incredibly sad to have her gone. I have gone to her new house a few times and we still meet up and do stuff with the kids and she asked if in the summer she could still come hang out. Its been nice since her kids are still at Westside we run into each other when picking up kids and since Lexi and Ashli are still in preschool in the neighborhood together. I am afraid for next year tho. Its only a matter of time where the distance fades everything and with the kids not seeing each other often they might not want to play. Sometimes I feel like they are just on vacation. And I don't feel like she has ten years on me. It feels like we are the same age. The day they moved Lexi cried and cried. Tallie and Chloe have also shed their share of tears. When Lexi and I watched the moving truck pull up we both just sat there and cried. Its sad because a huge chapter in my life just closed. Might sound stupid but its more than just kristi leaving its the kids are older. The water table and playdates we shared are ending. Its the young little family growing up. I am SO blessed and grateful to have lived here
Lexi refused to take any "last" pictures with her BFF.

On moving day I spent hours helping her pack her kitchen and practically every other room in her house. After which I spent hours then cleaning the empty house.
