Family Vacation

I realize it's been awhile since I've posted here and I wanted to do a little picture blogging of our family vacation earlier this month :)

Here are some of the highlights:

 We got to enjoy the beautiful autumn near Coeur d'alene, ID and Spokane, WA

 We got to experience terrain and culture very similar to Alaska.

 We had an EPIC ugly sweater contest :)  Jeremiah won with his incredible homemade fringes.

 I got to bond with my incredible niece and nephews who stole my heart.

 I got to put Maddox down for almost all his naps and bedtime.  Precious, precious memories :)

I got to give the kiddos their nightly bath - baby tacos :)

And this brings me to 2 of the funniest moments on the trip.

Moment #1:

Gabby and Maddox are in the bath.

Maddox: "I pee!"

Gabby: "Maddox, did you pee in the water?"

Auntie Rachel cringes

Maddox: "Yesss."

Gabby: "ME TOOO!"

Auntie Rachel starts laughing uncontrollably.

Moment #2:

Maddox is "brushing" his teeth.  Really this looks like Maddox sucking all the toothpaste off his toothbrush and asking for more.

Auntie Rachel: "Nope, you have to brush um all!  Brush the ones in the back!"

Maddox takes his toothbrush out of his mouth and thoughtfully looks at it for a moment and then reaches around and starts brushing his back.

Auntie Rachel starts laughing uncontrollably.
