Home Sweet Home (part 1)

We were planning, for a long time, to make a trip home over Memorial Day. My entire family was going to be home and Ty hasn't been home since we moved in December. Ty ended up taking off Thursday and Friday so we could leave on Wednesday after work and have an extra day for an already busy and full weekend. We figured we got 1 full day with each of our families which is never enough, but when they all live within an hour of each other we definitely wanted to see and stay with them all. We started off the holiday weekend at Ty's house and the kids, as always, had fun running all over their farm. I was so thankful to have Ty's Gma and his Dad there because I literally could not chase them anymore, I was exhausted by noon. I cannot believe how much energy Ty's Gma has, she kept up with them when I definitely couldn't!! The kids pretty much played on the farm, rode on the golf cart, went to DQ and got ice cream, and Riley played with the puppies all day long. We had a lot of fun and hope to make it back again soon.

I think Lincoln ate more of the dog food than the dogs did!

Riley didn't put that poor puppy down!

Getting the water ready to feed the animals.

Ty's dad, Lincoln and Riley were feeding the goats.

Gpa and Lincoln. They were pals while we were there. Lincoln loved him because he fed him cookies 24/7 and Gpa was laughing while Lincoln was playing with him. It was sweet to see them interact.

This is what I did when I wasn't chasing a kid...sat in the sun and attempted to get a tan.

Riley and "Ella". Everything she names, whether it be a puppy or doll, is named Ella.
Group shot. Ty, the kids, Gma and Ty's mom!
