Lifelong Best Friends

This past weekend, I got together with 4 of my best friends from high school. We had the best time reminiscing about old times and sharing what is going on in our lives. There is nothing like old friends who know you like no other. They truly are "gold." I treasure these friendships so much and know that these girls will always be there for me through thick and thin. Thanks, girls, for being who you are and the amazing women you have become. I love you all. And to Em and Sue, we sure did miss you! And thanks, again, to Mac for always opening up the lake house to us. There are so many great memories of growing up and going to the lake. There is always one weekend in the year that I look forward to...and that's being with my girls.

Loving my Pops

Thomas spent this past weekend with his Nana and Pops while I was gone to the lake for a girls' weekend! Thomas had a great time! He just ADORES his Pops so much as you can see. They took him to the farm to ride the 3-wheeler and tractor and to see the cows! He also had fun throwing rocks in the lake. He also got to go on his first trip to the zoo! :)

Will Major spent the weekend with his Gen Gen and Grandmother in Vicksburg. He was an angel, thank goodness!

As for me, I had a great time with my high school buddies at Lake Bruin. We laughed and giggled like we were back in elementary school! What good times and good memories. I am so thankful to still have such great friends who I can pick up with like I saw them yesterday! :)

And my sweet, sweet hubby welcomed us home to a clean house and could not wait to see me and the boys! There's just no place like home! Now back to a busy week and routine! :)

My Little Budda

Will Major is my little fat man! He loves to eat! How cute are all those rolls? Love it!

Thomas loves his Elmo sprinkler!

Thomas had fun this summer at his Gen Gen's house in his Elmo sprinkler! I just love that big grin on his face! I cherish these days so much!

I'm not sure what I'm doing...

I've always loved reading my friends' blogs, but I've never tried it, so here it goes! The Bristers are doing well. Bill and I are doing great. We just celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary! We have two boys- Thomas, age 19 months and Will Major, age 5 months. They are growing like weeds! I love having two boys. Who would have ever thought that we would have two boys so close in age. We are so thankful that God has blessed us with them. Bill and I talk about it everyday about how much we love these boys and are trying to raise them up in a Christian home.

Thomas is saying so many words now and starting to put them together. He's also sitting on his potty, but no production yet! He's a ham and keeps me and Bill laughing all the time. Will Major is such a big boy. That's apparently all I can produce...large Brister BOYS! He is laughing, sitting up with assistance, and sleeping fairly well now.

I am still at home with the boys and enjoying my daily adventures with them. I'm not sure if I've lost my mind, but I took a position as the Creative Activities director of MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) this year. It's actually kind of a hoot that I'm doing CRAFTS! I'm not extrememly crafty, but I'm doing it anyway! This is an awesome group of christian moms who love the Lord and lean on each other for support! We moms know we all need that!!!

I hope I can post pics and updates often. We'll see how this blogging thing goes!
