 So this is what we've been up to  the last few weeks.  We headed to the Spokane, Washington Temple one Saturday.  We brought a friend from work with us to hang out with the kids at Chuck E. Cheese while we did a session.  The kids were entertained and had a blast.


 The temple is super small!  It looked a lot like the Bismarck, North Dakota Temple too.


We have headed to the lake beach 2-3 times a week.  We can't get enough.



We meet up with our neighbors and new ward friends so we all have lots of fun.



This weekend we took a day trip to Washington.  First stop was Green Bluff Growers where we planned to pick peaches and eat delicious pumpkin donuts I've heard lots about.  And yes, they were extremely delicious!


Then we went on a little tractor wagon ride out to the peach orchard where we got all set with the wagon and boxes.


 It was a beautiful morning and we brought home lots of juicy peaches!


Both the kids had fun searching for the biggest, ripest peaches.



And it was fun to see how excited Nick got when he found the biggest peach ever!  


My big baby belly didn't get in the way too much.  36 weeks!


 Can't get enough of these peaches.  I planned to pick enough to freeze and maybe can, but we've already eaten a ton.  We can't help enjoying them when they are so fresh.  We even got to pick 3 varieties, all different but delicious.  Can't beat these juicy ripe peaches.  Except maybe from my mom's orchard.  These will have to do.


After the peach picking, we headed into the big city, Spokane, to do some school clothes shopping for the kids and get a few baby things.  We have 2 more weeks of summer break, but I need to feel ready because who knows when this baby girl will come!  After Spokane we swung into Coeur d'Alene for lunch and a Costco run, then headed back home up north.  We sure love this area and feel blessed to have found home here.  It is so beautiful!  I pray I don't change my tune mid winter.
