Whitney and Faith in Action!

Eric and I have been blessed with some really awesome friends! Dave and Eric were besties in high school, and remain super close today.  Conveniently for me, Dave married an awesome girl, Dallas, who has become one of the best friends I could ever ask for.  Our friendship has had its ups and downs, highs and lows, but these two have stuck by us through some really hard times and have proven to be a HUGE blessing in our lives.  

They also happen to have some pretty AMAZING children :) Austin is six years old and one of my favorite kids on the planet! He is sooo smart and kind, and he's always really nice to his little sister, Faith.  Whitney and Faith are exactly three months apart.  They have one of those separated-at-birth", sister-from-another-mister kinda relationships.  Whitney shouts, "FACE!!(faith) whenever we tell her who we are going to see, so it was no surprise when the girls were ALL SMILES when Faith arrived to spend the day with us today. 

They got right down to work, playing with as many toys as they could.  Some laptop time (Thanks again, Liz! It is a HUGE hit!!), some ball throwing, some piano playing, and eventually some Toy Story watching.  They have both started talking SOO clearly, its hilarious to listen to them talk to one other.  Whitney just kept shouting "HIII FACE!!!" over and over and over. She was soooo excited to have her best friend in the house. 

They both shared so nicely, and I even overheard bothh of them saying "Thank you!" to each other when they shared! Melt. My. Heart. 

Whitney sat like this for a looong time.  I finally had to tell her "we sit WITH our friends....not ON them."

She acted like it was totally normal to squish your friends.  I think she just didnt want Faith to go anywhere :)

"Umm...Whitter....I love you.  Really.  I do.  But I cant feel my right leg."

They watched Toy Story 3, and both took turns shouting at all their favorite parts..... 

Faith first.......

....then Whitney. :)

They both got very serious when the train falls off the tracks at the beginning of the movie.  Too funny that they "get it" and pay attention!

And then allllll smiles when Andy is playing with Woody and Buzz again : )

While they ate some lunch, I made them each a shirt to model :)  When I asked, "Do you girls want to go outside?" They both shouted "YEEEAAAH!!!! OUTSIIIIIDE!" haha

So we headed to the backyard for some pics and laughs.

Whitney had perma-grin on her face. She was soooooo happy to be running around with her friend, laughing and jumping and running and spinning....life is good!

They play together so nicely, it makes it enjoyable to have two toddler divas in the house!

They ran and ran and spun around and laughed until they fell over. haha

And then they got up and ran and spun and laughed some more :)

Whitney taught Faith her "fall back on your bottom and shout BINGO" game :) 

They laughed SOOO hard! I couldnt get my video camera out in time to catch all the hysterics :) 

BINGO!!

I can almost hear Whitney's great belly laugh in this picture! They thought it was hilarious!

Get up, and do it AGAIN!!! .... BINGO!!!

Swing your partner 'round and 'round!

LOVE...

THESE....
