Good friends and Family!!

We have a special connection with friends here in our neighborhood. Heidi and Jared!! Heidi went to High School with me and lived in the same stake as me. We have a had a lot of the same experiences such as being in the High School Musical West Side Story together, being at girls camp together when our friends little sister passed away, and then now we live in the same ward 10 years later!! We have tons of fun together. Jared is friends with Jeff Clark's Wife (brys neighbor growing up). Its seriously a small world! Heidi is expecting a baby girl in November! We are excited for her! It will be her 5th baby! They invited us over for a BBQ with their family a couple weeks ago for their little girl Hailey's birthday party!!We also have another connection. Brad (bry's bro) is best friends with Brandon...(who is Heidi's Bro). They went to High School together and have been to Hawaii to spend time with Brad and Kerri! Brandon married kiersten about a year ago. Heidi's Dad's name is Bryan too!!!
These two are best friends for life!! They talk too much in primary class and we just found out that they are going to be in the same kindergarten class this year!!
So here is ONE MORE obvious connection! Heidi's oldest brother James married my cousin Brandi! So James has been part of the Redding family forever (it seems like) so we get to see them more than anyone and its fun to hang out with someone from my side of the family as well!! We love Brandi and James!
The kids had a blast jumping and playing with the other cousins on the trampoline!

We are glad Hailey and Mayley can be best buddies! We love Hannah and Jenna too (hailey's sisters). We are grateful to have shared experiences with Heidi and Jared. They lost a baby boy who would've been Hogan's age last year. I got to go to the graveside service and comfort Heidi when she needed to just come over and cry! We love them lots! We are so glad we are friends for life! :)
