Spokane to Pullman and Back

Went to Spokane this past weekend which was fun, stressful, relaxing and tiring all rolled into one. Packing up the mini with two kids and two dogs can test the relationship that is for sure. We stayed at Johnna's for a change because Mom and Dad were watching Nathan, Emma and Sophia while Johnna, John and Sophie went to visit Mychaela down at U of M. As we were unpacking Braeden fell down the stairs into the basement which was horrible. Luckily he came away without any major damage, but the look on his face as he bounced around like a rag doll is permanently imbedded in my brain. I have been having flashbacks and almost crying when I do ever since. Went to the Coug game down in Pullman on Saturday which was also a production, but glad we did it. The first half of the game was awesome. Second half went to Stanford. Braeden fell asleep for a good portion of the game and Ainsley was an angel!!!! Toughest part was getting from the car to the stadium. Braeden sat down in the middle of the street. I found out they have family bathrooms in Martin Stadium. All in all a much different experience from the last time we were in Pullman for a game. Sunday we went to Greenbluff and Braeden rode a horse for the first time. Got some apples, apple pie, apple cidar and a pumpkin. Lots of fun. Then we went to Mark and Sheryl's for dinner with the almost everyone. Nice to catch up and crazy of coarse trying to keep Braeden from destroying their home. Once again rearranging home decor so Braeden doesn't destory it. Feels like that will never end, even though I know it will. Sunday night got a chance to catch up with Johnna which was great. Monday hung out, packed up and headed out of town. Only thing we forgot was the boppy which Johnna kindly brought to us at Fred Meyer. It was a bit of a whirlwind and now we are home. Cory, Heather and Hudson just left not too long ago. Came over for dinner which was a blast. So fun to see the boys interacting more and more as they get older. Oh the trouble they are going to cause! I will try to post pictures from it all tomorrow...we'll see if I get to that!
