My Childhood Friend, Judith & Family Come to Visit!

Judith and I were connected at the hip in our youth and we would still be if we weren't so far away from each other. She still lives in Colorado and came for a visit on Labor Day with her husband Russ and her daughter Noa. We grew up together playing Barbies, riding horses nearly every weekend, swimming at the lake, flirting with boys, eating lots and lots of food, and just having fun. We always say how happy we are that we stayed kids together for so long. Great friends are so hard to find. We are so glad that we found each other. Judo McJackson, I love you.

Of course, there's hope that our little girls will grow up loving each other as well. They really liked each other when Meira wasn't teasing Noa with her toys. :-) She would offer a toy and take it back as soon as Noa reached out to grab it. No, I did not teach her that. We are working on sharing.

One of our favorite activities as teenagers was having modeling shoots. Of course we had Mark take some pictures while we strutted our stuff. The rain cut our shoot short.

I don't remember what we were laughing at, but this picture is awesome!

We went with my mom, Molly, Reuben, and Grandpa Rayback to the ice cream factory. Little did Judith know that a hungry mouth beneath her would like a bite too. :-) This picture was too cute. It would be hard to not be able to feed yourself first. I know all too well that that is true. Mommy got the first bite this time.
