Everyone loves a parade

One of the nights that the Holden's were visiting we were fortunate to be able to watch the Lilac Festival armed forces torch light parade from a third story window in Downtown Spokane. The kids seemed to love it and of course the babies fell apart/fell asleep before the end and the big kids were in tears by the end because they wanted to see more. Samantha kept asking the next day if we could go see more! Emily loved the marching bands and would get really physically excited when she would hear them.....until she finally crashed out.

Three pretty girls....

Where's Emily?

Emily was with us I promise! These were the only pictures I took from our Park and wine tasting adventure because well...she was asleep for part of it and she was awake and hot and cranky and itchy and did I mention cranky? for the rest!

Parks before wine tasting

here are the kiddo's playing at the park before the parents went wine tasting. In theory the plan was so that the kids would be more mellow while we were wine tasting..but good thing for Uncle J/Daddy, he watched the kids outside with Kristen and Nathen and I tasted wine!

Mobius and our friends

We were fortunate to have the Holden's come to visit for a week earlier in May. We had a lot of fun. We took the bus Downtown and went to Mobius which is a kids museum. I was thankful that Grandma went with us because that way the little ones could play in their area and then Bryce and Samantha were able to have a bit more one on one with their mommies!

Answer: Corona and Captin Morgan

Question: What were mommy's two favorite drinks in her twenties!
Okay so I may not have had alchol when I was pregnant with these two...but does it say somewhere that kids will be predisposed to being their parents old drink of choice?
