It was our second time at church here in Las Vegas when Brandon told me about the Higbee Family. “Where were you? This family was so fun to meet! They even have two girls who babysit!” He had the best things to say about them.
Yes, where was I when he met them? Trying to gather all our kiddos out to the car! But I was super excited he met a cool family, and it was shortly after that that I had the pleasure of meeting them all.
It wasn’t long and we called up Makenna and Laney to babysit. Our kids absolutely love these beautiful girls. It’s just about every Sunday that Ryder whispers in my ear, “I want to wave to Laney!” Both girls have such fun personalities, and they are great examples of kindness to my kids. I couldn’t ask for better role models.
My first grader, Leila, is lucky enough to be in the same class as Ryland, the Higbee Family’s little guy. I’m positive they laugh a lot. They are great friends!
Crystal and Wayne have been so welcoming to us since we’ve moved. They know all the ins and outs of the good restaurants here, and they are always up for hanging out with us nerds. When Brandon and I had tickets to Lady Antebellum for our anniversary (thanks to Crystal helping me figure out how to get good tickets), she offered to take all four of my kids…overnight. What kind of friend does that? Wayne and Crystal Higbee. This family is just so amazingly selfless. They are always loving and serving those around them. I just can’t believe how blessed I am to know them.
Dear Higbee Family,
I cannot thank you enough for all your help with my kids, your kindness, and all our little adventures together. I consider myself incredibly blessed to have moved here and got to know you. Thank you for sharing recipes and mustard with me, and teaching me how to can jars! I watch how you teach your children, and I want to emulate that in my own parenting. You are a close-knit family whom I adore! I hope to have many more adventures with you all, and make many more memories!
