Weekend away from home...

Now that Justin is back to his regular work schedule and has had some chance for some Overtime, Ryken and I decided to make a trip up to visit my parents in Woodruff. Plus my good friend was getting married so I wanted to go up for her reception. It was just a bonus that we got to spend time with my parents too. : ) We started our trip a little later than I wanted on Friday. And I was hoping that Ryken was going to be at least somewhat good on the way up but I guess I expected to much of him. He fussed and wined most of the way up. So once we got to Payson I decided I would get him and myself an ice cream cone. I figured it would keep him some what quiet for a little bit. Well it did keep him occupied and quiet but also made a bit of a mess of him. : )

I have given him my ice cream cones once I have eaten most of it, leaving him like a little more than half the cone but never his own ice cream cone. And I guess you can tell. He did pretty good at first but then I looked back and he had taken a bite out of the bottom of the cone. And the ice cream of course got all over him. : ) But he enjoyed every last bite of that ice cream.

Then Saturday afternoon I got to meet up with one of my best friends Brianna Brimhall and have lunch with her and our little guys. Then afterwards we went and meet up with another best friend Kiri Woodside to see her new little guy.

We had lots of fun catching up like always. And it was of course lots of fun to talk about all of our mommy stuff and just being with our adorable little guys! I love these girls and wish I lived alot closer so we could have more fun times together. Later that night I got to go to another friends wedding reception. And it was great to see her and see how beautiful she was in her wedding dress and so happy with her husband. And of course I forgot to take pictures! : (

While we were there so was my brother Bo and his family. So we got to spend time with them too. And Ryken and his cousin Cordd got to play together and seemed to have a good time. Cordd is so nice to Ryken and loves to share his stuff.

Here he is sharing his sucker with Ryken. And as you can tell Grandma was so proud of him for being such a nice cousin. I am sure these two will get in to lots of trouble as they grow up. But hopefully will be the best of cousins too. The weather up there was kinda chilly at night but it was nice and cool during the day. Ryken loved getting to go outside and play with all the cousins that were there. Here he is just running around all happy at Grandma and Grandpa Baker's house. We had lots of fun like always. And once I got home I told myself man I should have stayed an extra day. : ) So thanks as always Mom and Dad for a great weekend. And don't worry Justin said we can still come visit even after all of Ryken's mishaps while we were there. : )
