Coeur d'Alene

After a long week with out Brad, Aubrey was sure happy to give her Daddy hugs! 

Brad flew in to Spokane and we went to dinner with my parents and then headed to the Duffy's for the week. 

After dinner we made a quick pit stop to see Grandma Carma. She was in a care center in Post Falls! She was so excited to see us! 

Don met us at the care center and we loaded up and went to the Duffy's.

Aubrey's cousins were there and the kids had a blast playing with each other! Aubrey was in heaven too because Grandma has a play kitchen! 

Sunday was the next day and little Shae Shae sang at church. She did such a great job! We tried to get a photo shoot of the kids before it was nap time. Poor Grant was too tired to smile and Aubrey wasn't leaving him alone! 

So us sisters took one instead! 

I love them so much!

Carmen really got to bond with Aubrey this trip! Aubrey loved her old stuffed animals and loved her reading to her! 

Aubrey and Shae were twirling their dresses! 

And then Aubrey realized that Grandma and Grandpa had a kitty!! She was thrilled!! 

Later we made cookies! 

On Monday we went to Carmen's Seminary class and saw her during lunch! 

Aubrey slept the whole time! 

And then after Carmen's X-country practice, Aubrey learned what an ice bath was all about. 

she wanted to jump in there! 

On Tuesday we got to watch Shae during her gymnastics class. 

She felt like a celebrity with having us all there! 

Aubrey wanted to get on the mats too! 

Grant and Aubrey played on the bleachers. 

Shae is doing amazing! She is moving up in levels too! She is so strong and has the perfect built for a gymnast! 

After an afternoon of play, we then went to Annie's Cross Country Districts meet. She ran her little heart out! It was so fun to cheer her on! 

Our whole fan club! We love our nieces! 

Later that night, Aubrey sat with Carmen while she did her homework. 

The next morning Aubrey went and fed Boo breakfast! 

We had some gorgeous weather that Brad decided to get all the toys out! They went on a 4-wheeler ride around the house! 

Then we played on the swing set! 

Aubrey and Boo became buds! 

They were so cute together! 

Aubrey found a toy her size too! 

After Aubrey's nap she wanted to go back out to play with Boo. 

And then Brad and Aubrey jumped on the trampoline. 

And once Grandpa came home she got to play with Boo some more! 

They were hilarious together! 

After dinner Grandpa did some flips with Aubrey. 

and chased each other around the house! 

Then Grandma read her some books! 

On Thursday we got up and went to Carmen's Regional Cross Country Meet! Aubrey loved finding sticks and running along the course. 

Grant and Aubrey ran around together! 

Carmen and her team warming up! 

Carmen did a great job! She got 10th place! 

Brad is such a proud brother! 

We love you Carmen! We were so happy we got to see her race! 

The kids were having fun running around! So fun to have cousins! 

Then it was snack time! These two could be twins! They are exactly a month apart! 

Friday morning Brad, Aubrey and I were able to sneak away and see Grandma Carma one more time! We love this sweet angel!

Aubrey playing peek-a-boo in Grandma Duffy's curtains. 

We took one more ride around on our last day! 

Aubrey played with Boo some more! 

That night Carmen was kind enough to baby sit all the kids so we older "kids" could go out to a Chief Hockey Game! We loved seeing Boomer! 

And we won!! 

As you can see we had a blast on our vacation! We loved all the great company and memories made on this trip! I can't believe it was already 2 months ago! Time is flying by! We miss our family so much! Can't wait for more fun adventures in 2016!
