Their real names are Julia and Emily but I haven’t heard anyone call them that in a while - unless their mom is calling for them, that is! Their mom, Jessica, is one of my very best friends in the whole wide world. Yep, I do have a lot of really good friends but Jess has been one of my best friends since we lived together in college. We have never lost touch and I even took my kids and my mother-in-law to Hawaii to see her when her husband, Chip, was stationed there. I am so glad they don’t live away anymore…we don’t get to see them enough anyway but at least they are 20 miles down the road.
Jules and Kellyn are the best of friends and Emmy and Blaze act like brothers and sisters. We have to separate them on most days - well, I am stretching it a little but they do get on each other’s last nerve every now and again. In fact, Blaze gets so mad because he says Emmy is “cofying him.” I try to assure him that when another kid “copies” you, it’s totally a compliment. Well, that goes right over his head.
Jules is full of life and a darned good athlete - she has torn up the Slaton sports scene. She plays everything from basketball to soccer to flag football. Yes, flag football. And, she doesn’t just “play” sports, she totally excels at sports and she isn’t afraid of anything. She is a sweetheart on top of it all. Now Ms. Emmy on the other hand, well, we aren’t sure she’ll play sports…we think she’ll go straight to the catwalk!! : ) She loves to dress up and ALWAYS wears skirts. She looks just like her beautiful mommy.
Jess, I had a blast photographing with you guys the day before Thanksgiving. Sorry it took me so long to get these to you. I love you guys!!
