This weekend, we made a quick trip to Idaho Falls to welcome Carson home from his mission and to wish Travis good luck as he leaves on his. Crazy! Stan & Kristi haven't had all their family together for more than a couple weeks at a time in 4+ years. Yet, these boys are doing good things and are growing in ways that will help them for the rest of their lives. When I say it was a quick trip, I wasn't lying. We got up Saturday (August 26th) morning and were home by dinner time on Sunday (August 27th)...and everything in between was a blur of chaos, loud volumes, and lots of food. We loved hanging out at Stan's house with variety of active amenities his home has to offer. If we weren't eating or attending the events we went for (e.g., Travis going through the temple for the first time and their joint homecoming/farewell talks in church), everyone was usually downstairs in the racquetball room or jumping on the indoor trampoline. We did take time to eat and (of course) grab some ice cream at Reed's Dairy. I love family! To me, there is nothing better than getting together with siblings and watching our kids interact. I love nurturing those relationships...and I'm so lucky to have married into such an awesome family. Life is simply better lived when lived together!
