Road Trip Home!!

So last week I decided to head home and visit my family in Boise, Idaho! I haven't been back since I was about 6 months pregnant with Dru so it's been quite awhile. It was really fun and so good to visit with family and friends. We had decided before I came that I was going to throw my little sister Taucia a baby shower, so that was way fun! She's having a little boy (due January 30th) hence all of the blue decor.
Ben had a ton going on that week with work, youth conference camping with the young men, etc.. and I didn't want to hang out all weekend on my own, so it was a great opportunity to spend some family time. Ya, fun, but a little crazy!!!! All four kids and me, in the car, four 6 hours...wow! Luckily, on the way there they did awesome! Watched a few movies, read books, played with toys, etc...the way home..a little more stressful, but we just took our sweet time getting home and eventually made it back home to daddy. This was the first time I have made the trip ON MY OWN with all four kids. WOW...will probably not be doing that again by myself! When we get to Grandma's, the word "NO" doesn't exist, bedtime is out the window, sugar is pretty much thrown at them, quite voices are no longer available, and grouchiness and temper tantrums are expressed at a whole new level!! On top of this, Dru came down with a little cold so was literally up ALL NIGHT EVERY NIGHT!!
Don't get me wrong I had a great time, visited with some friends, (Thank you again for lunch and entertaining us for an afternoon Steve and Kami!!) and spent some much needed time with my little sister who is the only child at home right now and had so much fun throwing Taucia a baby shower...but realized on this trip how much of a help Ben is and how much I rely on him! Yes four kids under the age of 5 is crazy busy, but without a husband is INSANELY CRAZY! It was so nice to come home and get back to real life with my best friend!
Taucia received some very nice things and we are so grateful for all of those that came and supported her. We are so excited to have little baby Heath Cherry running around with my little boys! Thanks to the fam for the hospitality and for putting up with the craziness for a few days. We LOVE YOU!!!
