Don't let those cute lil' faces deceive you!




So we went to Spokane this last weekend for drill, and as tyson was checking into the hotel my heart sank when i realized i forgot the suitcase with the babies clothes, some of ty's clothes, and all of my clothes! thankfully i had 1 change of clothes in a diaper bag for the babies (lesson learned after our first "official" blow out the week before- i had never fully understood why i needed to pack extra clothes in the diaper bag until that blow out, which i will spare you all and not share the picture!) anyway, so i had great plans to meet my friend Suzi, from Lourdes and her fam and thought that since the babies were SO wonderful last month when we tried to meet up that we'd shoot for the Northtown mall (they have a great nursing room which worked great last month!) that way i could get new clothes for myself and the babies- no such luck :( after a lunch with Suzi and her adorable family i had to go feed babies, who decided they wanted to make things difficult, Hallie seriously screamed and was inconsolable for like 20 minutes, i still to this day have no idea what was wrong with her- nothing worked, i'm sure people we're standing outside wondering what on earth i was doing to the poor thing, but some how we made it through and i was able to spend a few more minutes with Suzi before she had to leave to feed her own baby! so needless to say, i left the mall after a very quick stop at the downeast basic kiosk for a shirt for me and no other clothes for me or the babies. oh and to top it off hallie had a "minor" blow out on the one outfit i had for her, so i cleaned it up the best i could and headed back to the base to pick ty up.

I was finally able to make it out to walmart to buy the rest of our needed clothing by 5 in the evening, with just enough time to enjoy the tail end of tyson attempting to feed to screaming babies (what a trooper!) we discovered (thanks to the wisdom of my mom) that micah is now terrified of strange places, he seriously woke up at least every hour at night for the 2 nights we were there. i feel SO sorry for our neighbors in the hotel, they too must have wondered what on earth we were doing to our poor babies!

Needless to say, it was a weekend of many lessons learned! We have enjoyed a quiet week with 2 super cute babies, that have almost erased the horrific memories of the weekend :) and are looking forward to our week in Utah! we have so many people to see and so many people for the babies to meet! i can't wait to hit all of the scrapbook stores and ty can't wait to have a week off of work and school! it will be a much needed break for us all!
