A weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's

This last weekend, we were able to spend the weekend in Boise, Idaho with Dave's family. We just don't get to see them enough. On Friday, the day we were planning to leave, Chad woke up at 6:30 so see if it was time to go yet. I told him that when the small hand got to the 5 on the clock, it would be time to go to Boise. Then before leaving for work, Dave told Chad that when he got home, it would be time to go. Chad watched that clock all day!!! It was a crazy busy day getting things ready and I had a ton of MK appointments. Then out of the blue, Dave showed up at 1pm. He usually does not come home for lunch on Fridays and the minute he walked in the door, Chad was jumping up and down saying, "Horray! Let's go to Boise!" The bad part was that it wasn't time yet, because Dave still had to go back to work. Oh, the look on Chad's face said it all!!!


Chad is a "grandpa kid." He loves both his grandpa's and would prefer to spend all his time with them if he could. Chad is on the left, and his cousin is the one on the right.

At Grandma and Grandpa's, there was a HUGE pile of leaves. I set Tyler in it thinking that he would protest. Boy, was I wrong!! He loved it! I think he ate about half of the leaves. He was just so happy.

This pumpkin is HUGE! It weighs 15o lbs. The picture just does not do it justice. And finally, our whole family. We had such a great time with family. And I always feel so rejunivated after a trip like that. Now I am ready to tackle the mommy thing again.

  1. I love that picture of your family on the bottom. That is so cute! It sounds like Chad is a little character. Cute boys! My boys do the same thing when we go to my mom's, only they start on Sunday and ask if this is the day!
