Yelm Prairie Days

Today was the kick off to the Yelm Prairie Days. And it started with a parade our favorite! The weather had been pretty crummy all day but we decided to go rain or shine. We were going to walk down to the main street in town but since it was raining at the time we drove and just backed our car up to the street. It was a big parade.. bigger than we had anticipated! By the time the parade started the sun came out again!
Here is a pic of Dots waiting for the parade to start!
And here we are waited for the rain to clear!
Emma is always making friends where ever she goes.. so she also made a friend at the parade.. he was 4! Pretty cute picture.
Then this was toward the end of the parade.. the horses was dottie's favorite!

Truman Family Reunion

Well we recently just returned from a Truman Family Reunion on my side. It was down in Southern Utah (st. George) Yes we made the drive! It actually wasn't that bad with a 3 and 1 year old. Movies and food were life savers! We left on Father's day and headed to Nampa, ID where we stayed with Jordan's older brother Nate and his family. Oh wait we can't forget about Nolan... We also had Jordan's little brother "Chuck" in the car with us! From Nampa we headed to Provo to stay with Jordan's sister Camille and to also drop off Nolan. Then the next day we headed down to st. George. We had a lot of fun.
Wednesday night we met up with all the family and went to see the dinosaur tracks. Emma loved it! she has been telling everyone that she saw dinosaur feet and poop! Yes poop! Then we headed over to the Blue bunny for banana splits! It was the biggest banana split I have ever had! Then we did a little tour of some historical site down town st. George. Then of course we headed to the pool at the hotel!
Thursday we met all the family up in Pine valley for a BBQ picnic. We all chatted played games. My uncle Brad brought up the "quads" So we went for a little ride. That was Jordan's favorite part I think! We spend most of the day up in Pine Valley it was very relaxing!
Friday morning was the golf tournament. Jordan who doesn't play much golf ended up on the winning team! Lucky him! Then it was a relaxing day at the pool before we went to Grandpa and Grandma Truman's 60th wedding anniversary party that night! We had a fun time sharing many memories with everybody.
Saturday we woke up early drove to Provo picked up Nolan and then headed to Nate's house in Nampa again... Yes very long drive but we made it. Sunday we woke up stopped by Battle Ground and dropped off Nolan visited with family (Jordan's cousin Bevan and his family were also in town) then we headed home! I was glad to be home. It was a fun trip though.
Well with all that said.. I have no pictures!!! HA.. Jordan and I forgot and never took the camera out of the car! I know... I guess we were having too much fun. So hopefully I can get some of my family to send me some pictures and maybe I will have some to post later.

Dottie's new tricks!

So Emma can't be the only one trying new things! Ahhh Dottie is growing up too! She has been very brave lately and trying everything she see's her big sister doing! Well she got very brave today! I was in my bedroom packing for our trip to Utah and I came into find her standing on top of a chair to the counter! We are going to have to be very careful of what we leave out now!
Here is a better pic with the flash.. i just liked her little smirk in the other picture!

Emma's growing up!

So Sunday morning while we were getting ready for church and I was working on my lesson I realized I hadn't heard or seen Emma for a while! This usually means trouble!! So I went to go find her. As I start to walk down the hall way to my bedroom I see Emma bolt from my bathroom across my bedroom and dives down and hides behind my bed! What was she doing...? I guess I hadn't put my make up bag back where I usually put it so the girls can't get into it. Well Emma saw it and took full advantage of it being out. She proceeded to put on my make up. I found everything open and mascara everywhere. I think she got more on the bathroom counter than she did on her face. This is a picture of her end result!!! She is a little teary eyed because she thought we were going to be really mad at her. I am just glad she didn't try to put it on her sister! Emma loves watching me get ready in the morning. They learn so fast!

It's pool time!!!

We washed up our little turtle to turn it into a little pool! The girls loved it. It might be a small pool but it does the job! We have had some great weather up here in the NW and we have found that our little Dot will do just about anything to be outside! Even if she is in another room and can here a door open to the outside she bolts over to it and before you realize she is already out the door!! the other day i was making dinner and wasn't paying attention and somehow (I think with the help of her sister) she had opened the screen door and made it out to the pool and got in it with her clothes on. She was just sitting there playing! I don't think I can post anything with out posting pictures of the girls as well.. I guess that is just me being a mom!
