one VERY quick trip

jared's brother got home from his mission last week.

so we made ANOTHER trip down to good old

south east idaho. what can we say? we love it there.

we left friday morning, and made it down to his parents house

just in time for some yummy dinner.

parker was beyond thrilled to be out of the car

and had a BLAST running around and playing with charlee.

i loved seeing my rucks family,

jared loved watching college football,

and it felt like chris had never even left.

its crazy how fast 2 years goes by. 

i was huge and pregnant when he left 

and now i have an almost 2 year old. 

saturday morning we spent hanging out at G&G rucks' 

house. again parker loved all the space to run and play.

and loved even more having a someone other than 

boring old mom to play with.

he sure has some cute cousins.

we spent saturday afternoon up in rexburg with 

carissa and her cutie patootie kyler.

he is such a teeny, sassy, cute little thing.

if you arent holding him the right way, he isnt

afraid to let you know! 

 oh how i miss living around the corner from carissa.

have i ever mentioned that before?

saturday night was spent back at the rucks'.

after quite a few dramatic melt downs from parker,

he decided it would be kind of fun to run around and play

with charlee again. and boy did he wear himself OUT.

he slept so good that night again. 

before we knew it, sunday morning had creeped up on us,

and we had to make the long 8 hour drive back to moscow.

*sigh*

only 27 more days till we leave for colorado to spend 

thanksgiving with my family.

and then 3 weeks after we get home from that,

its back to idaho falls we go for christmas!

im so excited. i love this time of year.

im gonna be one sad little girl once january comes,

and we have no more vacations or spur of the moment trips to go on.
