Weekly Videos

So it has definately been a few weeks since I've posted videos, so of course I have a lot and this isn't all of them. Enjoy! All of them have been taken on our trip.

InstaFriday from 2 weeks ago, just a little behind.  We've been having too much fun on vacation I guess.  Miss Hadley has been working hard at crawling, she has managed to crawl a couple steps, but still not too sure of it yet.  And has been quite busy pulling herself up on anything she can get her hands on.

Very proud of herself for pulling up on the chair.

Thanks to my amazing parents, Kevin and I had the chance to get away for a couple days.  We had lots of fun just relaxing and doing some junkin' around Coeur d'Alene and Spokane.

We of course hit up several local Diner, Drive-Ins and Dives on our weekend.  It was quite delicious as always.  Our favorite was a little place in Coeur d'Alene with the most amazing Pecan Roll!  Look at that thing!  It was huge and oh so good.

Gavin has been quite busy!  And lots of playing with "the guys" these days.

These were Kevin and I's finds from our weekend.  Lots of fun stuff.

We enjoyed a very yummy lunch with Grandma.  Ok so in this picture, Audra reminds me of an Oompa Loompa from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  Something about the curls on the side and the eyebrows I think.  It just makes me laugh.

The kids enjoyed trying to ride the skateboard.

Hadley enjoying Pops.

We then started up the fire and roasted smores!  It think they liked them.

The kids have been enjoying picking raspberries over at Grandma's house.  Audra kept sticking her fingers in the raspberries and it soo reminded me of Auntie Mandy, she used to do the same thing.  The top picture on the right was a rare moment, where all three kids were playing together with the same toy!

Grammy braided Audra's hair, quite a feat to keep this girl still.

Hadley helping Gavin with his puzzle.

While Audra helped sweep the floor.  Our little helper.

One day we took a picnic lunch to Manito park and then the kids played on the splashpad.

Gavin has been enjoying all our junkin' because he finds lots of treasures too.  One day at Goodwill he found these awesome Spiderman gloves.  His favorite part is that they make noises!

Miss Hadley always has a smile for us, even though she has been working on getting 5 teeth in right now.  She now has all 4 teeth on the top and bottom!

Audra was working on styling my hair for me.

Hadley was enjoying my awesome thrift store find.

A rare moment where the kiddos were playing together without fighting.  She was sitting on the chair and he would climb up onto the chair with the box on his head and yell and she would just crack up.

It was quite hillarious.

They have also been enjoying havin Grammy and Pops read them lots of books.  And how can you resist that cool dude with the sunglasses.

On Thursday night we went down to the South Perry Farmers Market.  We had a lot of fun walking and then went to this amazing pizza place for dinner.  We had the most amazing pizza, it was peach, mascapone, fresh basil and prosciutto, may sound weird, but it was soooo good!

While we were waiting for our pizza, Gavin wanted me to draw a picture in his notebook.  First he wanted me to draw a picture of daddy, he was supposed to be biggest.  Then a picture of Pops, he was bigger than Gavin.  And then I was supposed to draw Gavin.  And then Gavin requested I go back and draw "bellies" on Daddy & Pops.  I couldn't hold back the laughter, it was quite funny as he was holding his stomach and telling me to draw bellies, but not on him.  Funny boy.

Gavin and Audra have been enjoying going over to Grandma Floch's to pick raspberries.  Grandma came over one day and brought a bucket and Gavin thought she brought it just for him.  He was ready to eat the whole bucket.

Sometimes I wonder why we even buy toys.  The kids spent one day fighting over the diaper box.  We had to go find another box for the other one to play in, but it wasn't good enough of course.

And that was our week.  Just having too much fun in the good old Northwest!

Week 2 of our vaction we spent in lovely Auburn.  The girls spent a fun day exploring and shopping in Loomis and in Auburn.  We started the day with lunch in Loomis at the Fruit Sheds.

The girls enjoyed some yummy Mac and Cheese.

Audra loved the fish pond and watching the fish.

After shopping at a few antique shops we then headed to Auburn Soda Shop for a little ice cream break to cool off.

Audra's sundae melted very quickly, so she ended up just drinking it with a straw.

After dinner the kiddos enjoyed walking down to the lake and the playground.

All the kids enjoyed spending time with Uncle Nate.

On Saturday morning we spent some time swimming in the lake, or as Gav called it, Gramps' lake!  When we said it was time to leave, Audra immediately started stripping down and was ready to go. 

Gavin found my hat in the car and said, "mom, look I'm Junk in the Trunk!"  He was quite proud of himself.  He cracks me up.

On Saturday night we met up my side of the family for a little bbq.  Hadley got to meet her 2nd cousin Ella!  They were quite cute together.

Audra and Gavin enjoyed playing on the piano.

On Sunday we went to church and lunch and ice cream with Uncle Nate and Brittney.

I love the crazy faces of this girl.

Gavin found my phone and apparently enjoyed taking pictures of himself.

We had a wonderful 4th of July with friends and family.

Audra was the big helper preparing all our food.

And on Monday Gavin and Audra had their first dentist visits at Auntie T's office.  Gavin was such a trooper, he did so good.  He sat very still and let them clean his teeth.

Audra did not want to have hers cleaned, we fought just to have her sit still long enough to have her teeth counted. 

Look at this little piggy!

After the denstist we went to lunch with Auntie T before heading out on Tuesday.

On Tuesday morning after having the latch finally fixed on our car we got the car all packed up and headed out to Bend and then on to Spokane.  And we managed to fit in all our treasures and the bear!

On our way out we stopped and said goodbye to Gramps at work.

On our way we went through a little town called Orland.  Gavin was very confused at first because he thought we were going to get to see his friend Orland, so I had to explain the town just had the same name as his friend.  He settled down once I said we would take a picture to send Orland.  So here you have it, hard to see in this picture, but on the water tower behind them it says Orland.

We had a beautiful drive through northern California.

And the kiddos were quite excited to arrive in Bend and to get out of the car for dinner.  And on the way, Miss Hadley popped through her front two teeth on the top.

Once we got to the hotel Audra scratched Gavin on his face.  It was bleeding pretty good, so he needed a bandaid.  This just makes me laugh.

In the morning after we got some breakfast we headed to the car and headed out for Spokane.  Audra never goes anywhere to sleep without her blanket and her babies.  She didn't have enough hands, so she was quite resourseful and put her babies in a bag.

Along our beautiful drive.

I love how when she is sleeping, no matter where she is at, likes to have her head buried.

Hadley was quite excited to be out of the car and play in the grass.

On Thursday the girls headed out for lunch at one of my favorite places and to hit up a couple sales.

Audra found this hat of old hat of Auntie Mandy's and was enjoying putting it on Hadley.

The crazy faces of Miss Hadley.

Audra loves her Pops.

Hadley pulled herself up on the steering wheel and was enjoying standing up.

She was quite proud to get up and be standing.
