they each have a buddy

As the kids get older one of the things I'm loving the most is getting to know my nieces and nephews and watching them build friendships with my kids. Each of them has a little buddy. Charlie and Griffin are a year apart, Renee and Sarah are six weeks apart and Sam and Cameron are six months apart.

We spent the weekend together in Mankato celebrating Sam's birthday and while I have a boatload of pictures to process, I wanted to post these.

If you sit around and listen, the boys are sneaking in discussions about poopy butts and saying crap like it's a swear word. I love that they already have secrets.


And don't get me started on the girls. They spent most of the weekend locked in a bedroom upstairs having a "Girls Only" party. They slammed the door on the face of any boy that came near them and they pranced around all weekend long holding hands. I have no idea where this girliness comes from as my sister Jen and I are not super feminine women. Our girls seem to think they are princesses though :) 


And these two don't know it yet but they are going to be best buddies too. Right now they're really only concerned with the fact that there is a lot of sugar on the table in the form of Fruit Loops and that is just not something they get every day :)

How incredibly special! I have no doubt that all the kids will grow up thankful for their buddy and for the memories that they will continually make!

I always say that each of my boys has their "own" sister; Nick is closest with Natalie and Dylan is closest with Grace. I sometimes am a teeny tiny bit jealous that they don't have cousins that are close in age (except second cousins who live, you know, HOURS and STATES away). They will surely grow up to be best buds! I think maybe they already are!

love it. my boys have cousins that are close to each of them in age and it rocks. the only downfall is they don't live super close, but when we do get together it's like they haven't missed a beat. :) cute shots!
