I have said it once and I will say it again, there is NO place like home. Pulling into my parent's driveway just relaxes me and I know we are in for a great time, even if all we do is stay at their house. Watching Kaden explore every inch of Papa Tom and Grandma Sara's land is something pretty special. The weather the past few days was great and Papa Tom and Kaden spent the a lot of their time outside. When Grandma Sara got off work they three of them got out the garden hose and allowed Kaden to water the garden but instead of watering the garden he went after them with the hose. He would act as though he was watering and when they got close, he would turn on them and Papa Tom would jump 10 feet in the air and Kaden just chuckled. The laughs continued through the night and I just sat back with the biggest smile on my face.
Tuesday rolled around and we headed to Springfield to meet up with Casey Jo, Gracey Jo and Melanie. Gracey Jo is such a cutie and looks just like her daddy. Gracey Jo and Logan are a little over 2 weeks apart, Logan being the older of the two but Casey Jo likes to refer to Gracey Jo as their future middle line-backer and if her feet are any indication of the future they might just be right. We ended Tuesday night with a burgers and fries at mom and dad's-my sister brought the kiddos up, Zack and Lindsey stopped by and Grandpa Richard came over too. The Hartley family was all together and it felt good. We sat around shared stories, we did Kaden's hair and we passed the baby around. Brett and Blake were in a little bit of trouble from earlier in the day and spent some of their time working on writing scripture. They were to find certain versus in the Bible and write them the-number-of-years-they-were-old-times. One of these days those boys will realize just how lucky they are to have one another and won't believe how much they enjoyed picking on each other when they were younger. Similar to their mom and I's relationship-man was she a mean older sister but then one day, the switch just flipped and she became a best friend...
As with every trip back home, it was hard to leave. We have it pretty good while at home. Kaden eats cheese all day long. I get to sit and hold Logan all day long. Wait I do that already! I get to sit and hold Logan while not running after Kaden since Kaden wants to play with Papa Tom and Grandma Sara, he could care less what I am doing. We all get our favorite meals and all the family flocks to see us. Simply put, we are spoiled and I can never get enough of it.
