Playing Catch-up: June Week 3 (16-22)


06.17.2013
 Joshie helped wash the car today.  Not without a few sips from the hose. :)

My view this evening.  Love!

These curls!  They are at their best right after bath.  I wish they would last longer than just a day.

Love watching these two.  Audree loves having books read to her. 

06.18.2013
Someone's a bit crabby lately and has been in good need of some Tylenol.  See those ginormous molars coming in.  They have been the worst for Audree!!

06.18.2013
I guess the Tylenol kicked in.  Happy, Big Girl!! Love it!

Audree (and Josh) love to walk around and suck on our toothbrushes.  Not my favorite habit that they've started.  I guess I need to hide ours and leave theirs out more so they'll stop taking mine.  Jake can attest that I hate sharing my toothbrush. :)

How can you not love those adorable pigtails?! Such a cutie! Best shot I could get of her because she just won’t hold still for more than a second.

We had an adventurous morning feeding the ducks/geese with friends. There were so many hat we were swarmed in an instant and they got so close that Audree even got bit without holding anything in her hand.  As overwhelming as it was, they sure had fun chasing them. Thanks for the fun Kaylee!

IF Temple and my sweet baby girl!

 06.19.2013
I can't get over this girl and her adorably skiwampus piggies!

Josh loves to do hands-on activities (not that he likes to get his hands dirty, but he likes to get involved in new activities).  After I painted a little rock for my mom's birthday, Josh wanted to join in on the fun.  So he painted this large rock which now sits on our front porch to welcome all of our visitors.  Cute boy!

Kids having fun at Josh's Occupational Therapy.  They love to explore this little room with all of it's different balls to play with, ladders, swings, tents, etc.


06.21.2013
Josh has come a long way playing with shaving cream at therapy.  It also helps to change the scenery a little bit and put it on the mirror instead of a typical table.  When we first started OT, he could only keep this on his hands for a mere minute, maybe.  In these photos and even now we can get to 15 minutes before he starts asking to wash his hands.  Audree always likes to join in on the fun too!

First family camping trip of the season.  We headed out to Falls Campground in Swan Valley, Idaho.






06.21.2013
Before settling in for the night at our campsite, we took a very short walk (few hundred feet) to see the Falls Creek Falls.  What a beautiful view.  You can get down closer, but with kids we didn't want to risk falling off into the rocky water below.









06.21.2013
The kids really enjoyed exploring our campsite. Audree would copy cat everything from searching in the long grass, climbing on big rocks, and playing in the dirt.  Super fun!

 Love this man!




06.21.2013
To let the kids explore even more, we went on a family walk around the campsite. Josh and Audree loved running up and down the rocky, dirt road.  They even held hands for minute of it.  Audree carried this little rock for about 1/2 the time too.








06.21.2013
And you can't go camping without some smores.  After our walk, we roasted some delicious ones up and the kids devoured it.  Josh went for multiples "sandwiches" and Audree I think went for just the chocolate (my kind of girl).

Such a cheese!

Our sleeping quarters for the evening.  We love our new family tent!!


06.22.2013
Took a LONG time, but we eventually got a little sleep.  Hopefully Audree will get the hang of it as we go more in the future.  Who really sleeps when they go camping though, right?!

06.22.2013
Morning cuddles.

Audree admiring the "hot" fire!

And just for fun, I thought I'd get a side by side comparison of my two babies on their first camping trips admiring the fire.  Love it!  On the left: Josh, May 2011 and right Audree, June 2013

 For some reason, Audree gets a huge kick out of sticking this whole plastic golf ball in her mouth.  Not sure why, but she loves it!  I'm really surprised that she can even put the whole thing in there.  She's got a big mouth I guess. 

06.22.2013
Two little buddies sitting together on Joshie's bench. Love this picture of them! Audree the little climber can get up there all by herself.  Stinker!


One of my favorite thing that Audree started doing at this time was her "uh-huh" response to when she wanted something.  I love it!!  She still does it, but not as much as she used to here.  My favorite!!
