Catching up!

Well its been a month, sorry, its been so long.  We have been struggling with computer issues over here, but I think we finally got my computer back.  So here we go again, a crazy catch up.  Are you ready?
 
Audra and her crazy messy face.  She ran errands with mommy and got a berry smoothie at Costco and this is what happened.
Big girl helping us get ready for the market.
The men outside building for Junk in the Trunk.
Miss Hadley has been very busy pushing everything around the house, so she can walk.
We went to a birthday party and Hadley was too impatient with the small pieces of pizza I had cut up for her, and grabbed the entire slice!
Headed to Uncle Nates for an afternoon swim!

Watermelonhead!
If daddy does it, then the kids must try it too!
After a full day of fun, we had to stop and grab some pieces of wood to bring home.  Even though they were both falling asleep, they managed to help hold on to the wood.
A little Sesame Street and sandwiches made by Gav to start the morning.
She has a bow!
On our way to our first day of MOPS.

Grammy & Pops & Uncle Cam came in for a quick trip so we could visit with Cam before he heads off to Sweden for the year!  The girls got busy helping Grammy load the dishwasher.
And of course they brought treats! Blue ones, how fun!
We had a yummy meal at Smashburger!


And helped Uncle Cam look for a camera.
And Audra helped Grammy mop the floors. 
Gavin and Pops built an Iron Man.  Can you see it?  The box is the body and he did have arms that you can't see.
Hadley enjoyed some snuggles with the men.
Audra was practicing her picture taking skills.
Let's just say she has some work to do.

Then she was fixing Auntie Mandy's hair for her pictures.  Double duty: hairstylist & photographer.

Working on projects getting ready for the Vintage Market. 

Someone was very excited she found Gavin left his blueberries unattended and within her reach!
Being silly.
Gavin was lining up all his guys for war!
On Thursday night before the market, we went out to WestWorld to chalk out all the lines.  And thanks to our amazing husbands, the hard part was already done.  We also has many little helpers too!

It was a beautiful night and we were done quickly and headed to a family dinner at Chick'fil'a.
Saturday while cleaning up, I found this beautiful girl!
Someone left behind this cart, and Hadley was quite enjoying riding, while Audra was pushing her.  And as usual she was smiling and waving as Audra was pushing her.
What a day!  We had an amazing day.  Over 1100 people came through the gate in the first 3 hours!  It was quite crazy, but all the vendors sold amazingly and were very happy, and over 1700 people paid to get in!  So thankful for these girls.  If you want to see more pictures of the market and the photo booth!  Thanks to Jake for taking our amazing pictures and Hannah for running the photo booth.  And of course Mandy for running our booth and Nate for taking money and tickets!  We really couldn't put on a a great market without all the AMAZING help of our families.
 
Alright well that is a start to catching up, check back tomorrow for more.

Hadley is 9 Months!

Last week we celebrated Hadley turning 9 months!  She's quite the busy girl these days.  As I have mentioned before crawling all over the place, walking around anything she can.  Any day she will just take off walking.  She loves to push all the chairs around the house and Gavin's Tow Mater.  She also has actually started talking some.  It's so surprising to me, because the other 2 were quite late at talking, especially Audra, but Miss Hadley definitely says, Mama, Dada, and Hi!  And all quite clearly.  And how can you resist that crazy big smile that is always on her face!
At her well baby check Hadley weighed in at 23.1 lbs (98%) and was 29 1/4 inches tall (95%).  And the funny one her head size is in the 91st percentile as well.  The other 2 were always around 50%, but not Hadley.  And now of course I have lots of pictures.
  
  
 


And just for old time sake, here are the other 2 at 9 months!
At 9 months Gavin weighed 23.3 lbs and was 31 inches long and Audra was 23.8 lbs and 30 1/2 inches long.   All right about the same.  Hadley is a little shorter and weighs just slightly less.  However I think Hadley might have the most hair!

Insta Friday!

Crazy girls!
On Friday last week, the kiddos were my helpers carrying flyers for Junk in the Trunk into one of our vendors.  The lady we were visiting works in a salon in Scottsdale, so all the old ladies, just thought they were so cute.  And I have to say they were very obedient for the most part.  And Gavin chatted everyones ear off about Junk in the Trunk.


Gavin discovered the costumes at Costco, which I was trying to hide from him till a little closer to Halloween.  So he convinced Daddy to let him have his now.  And he chose to be Captain America!  He was quite excited!
On Saturday, I had an oopen house for all our vendors, and since it was at the Arnolds Gavin got to come with me to play with his friends!  And as you can see they are quite into all the super heros these days.  And I managed to get him away from our house with just the Captain America mask.
Gavin then was dying to have his turn in the Spiderman costume!
Look at those super hero moves!
And Miss Audra really wanted to  be Belle, but they didn't have that, so she got Cinderella instead.  I think she was quite satisfied, especially since there was gloves and a headband.
Family night playing blocks.
Audra decided to dump all the balls out of the crate and climb in.  She didn't quite calculate it, because she then discovered she was stuck!
That same day when I went to get the girls up from their nap, this is what I found.  Audra had climbed out her crib and into Hadley's.  Funny girls.
On Wednesday we took a trip to Lowes and the kids got to ride in the race car.  They love the race cars, and Gavin decided to sit in the back so Hadley could drive.  It was very sweet and she quite enjoyed it!
On Sunday our friend Colleen gave me a bag full of old costume jewelry.  She knew I could do something with it, or that the girls would love it.  Well Audra discovered the bag and was oh so happy about all the goodies!  She decided she needed to wear all of the jewelry, every last piece all at the same time, including the clip on earrings.  She managed to get 3 pairs on at one time!
She was quite proud of herself, until Miss Hadley was feeling left out and trying to grab her pearls!

On Wednesday Miss Hadley turned 9 months, so we celebrated with a little ice cream!
 
And then on Thursday we went to the doctor for her well baby check.
Happy 9 Months!  It's crazy how fast it has gone, I can't believe she is already 9 months.
Pretty baby!
We also stopped by Savors to see if we could find any treasures.  Gavin was in search of a little iron man, which he didn't find, but I found these awesome vintage shorts for Miss Audra.  I was actually going to sell them, but once I put them on her, I don't think I will be able to part with them.  I asked her to smile and this is what I got!
And the outtakes!
And that was our week!  Quite busy these days getting ready for the market in just a few short weeks!
