I miss Tracey!

While in Texas we surprised one of my dear friends Tracey and her family by showing up on their doorstep unannounced. After catching up for a while they invited us swimming. Tracey is always on the go and her energy level puts me to shame. I love her dearly.

She and her husband John have 5 children: Michael a 6th grader, Francesca a 5th grader, and triplets Matthew, Gabi, and Lexi 4th graders.

Time to Swim

Heading to the pool

Sporting the goggles

Gabi & Lexi - Never a dull moment.

Best Friends Forever

Handstand Time - They used to be on the gymnastics team together.

Flavored drink mixes are off limits to him at our house, so he was really excited they let him have this.

Francesca, Matthew, Spencer, Lexi, Sydney, & Gabi

Seriously, never a dull moment. :)

How did it all begin? Sydney, Gabi, & Lexi met in a gymnastics class when we first moved to Texas. Gabi and Sydney ended up in the same class in kindergarten and that's when our friendship really grew.

Synchronized Swimming?

I miss you too! Isn't it time to "Come Back to Texas" (Bowling for Soup song). Sydney needs to be a permanent fixture in our home again. She's the only child capable of pulling off the fourth "triplet" :)
Hugs,
Tracey

Sydney, goof ball? No way! I don't believe it. Haha, it's always fun to see friends that have moved. We loved going to Cali to visit friends.
