This past weekend, we went to Abilene to visit family and Jared needed to do a little dove hunting. Anytime we go to Abilene, it is always an adventure. So we decided to leave Thursday night, after the boys’ last feeding, so they would sleep the whole way and we wouldn’t have to stop and feed them. BEST. IDEA. EVER! All our other trips to Abilene (with the boys) have been fun (and a little stressful) but this was the best trip/ visit yet! We did a great job splitting up our time evenly between Jared’s parents, his sister, husband and nephews, my parents, and my sister and her husband.
I am trying to relax more and enjoy our time with family and not stress too much about the boys’ schedule (which is huge for this type-A personality!) I only got stressed out like twice this trip, usually it’s at least 14 times! Anyway, I decided if we get past the first 24 hours, the boys get adjusted to where we are and they relax more. It’s the first 24 hours that are hard because they don’t sleep well and are usually more fussy. Needless to say, we had a fun and relaxing weekend with everyone! I always love the extra help when we go home. Here are some pictures to prove it!

Hard to see, but this truck was behind us driving home. I thought it was cool he had an American flag on his “grill.”
We had so much fun shopping, enjoying the cooler weather and drinking lots of coffee! :) We love our families and trips to Abilene. We look forward to many more trips “home” with the boys!
(I am sad I didn’t get any pictures of the boys with Jared and Easy with their camo on, I am sure there will be more opportunities in the future though!)
