July Fun

I can't believe it's August in just 2 days. July flew by. Here are some pictures to show what have been up to. We started the month out with fireworks. Allie got to come visit for the day and the girls loved that.

Fun with Sparklers.

Our first time at the Roy parade. It was short and sweet and the girls liked it.
The girls with their cousins awaiting a special Tea Party at Grandma Erickson's house. They love getting dressed up.

Grandma always has the best tea parties!

We also made the trek down to California this year.. something Jordan has been wanting to do for a long time. We are glad we went and hope to get to go again soon. Here we are in front of the Sacramento Temple.

Visiting Grandpa and Grandma Erickson's grave site.


It was very hot in California while we were there... thankfully lots of family members had pools for us to swim in. Here we are at uncle Glens pool. We had lots of fun!



One of the reasons we made the trip to California to visit Grandpa and Grandma Sellers. Dottie had never met them before so it was about time. We had a good time with them and really enjoyed our visit.

Double Digits

I just realized I am down to the double digits on my baby ticker!!! I had my lovely glucose test yesterday. Just waiting on the results.. which I am sure will be fine. I have never had a problem with them in the past.

Random June

To start with the girls just thought I was the coolest mom ever to make this lunch! An Octopus hot dog! If only I would have known maybe I would have done it sooner!

My Husband finally got his arcade in the house. He has been working on this thing probably over a year now. And with all the reorganizing we have been doing and getting rid of things there was finally room. I tried to keep it in the garage as long as possible. It looks like a lovely thing to sleep next to doesn't it!

Happy Father's Day to Jordan. We also made him breakfast and this is at dinner. Emma made him the crown!

And finally we said good bye to our little blue truck last night! I am not sad about this one! It just sat in front of our house not doing much!
Isn't this lovely!

Trip to the Oregon Zoo

Leah, Dottie and Emma checking out the bears!
Picture moment...
Acting like birds in a big bird nest!
Posing with the birds... Dottie thinks tilting her head will make her look cuter or something!
And the hippo's!
We haven't been to the Oregon zoo in a long time and on a whim we decided to just do it. We had a great time with the girls and Jordan's mom and little sister! But how come when we go to the zoo all the animals seem to be sleeping or just not around!!! Luckily we went to check out the polar bears again before we left cause the first time they were no where to be found but I guess they decided to come out and play. Emma was pretty cute about the whole thing, before we left the house grandma gave her a small notebook and told her to draw pictures of all the animals she saw! She drew every animal..(if you click on some of the pics to get a closer look you will see the notebook in her hand)

First Camping trip as a family

Our Stake camping trip was coming up and Jordan said.."we are going!" The Friday before memorial day we headed up to Zion's Camp up near Belfair (it's church owned). We got there and it wasn't our stakes turn (mix up on the stake calendar).. oh well they gave us a campsite anyways along with a couple other people from our ward. We had a great time.
Here we go the first night!
I would say it was a success.. the girls loved it. They were so happy!
And the collection of pinecones!


The next morning Jordan took the girls down to the lake and went on some boat rides!

They switched to a canoe half way thru!
They had a little play ground with swings and a club house and this thing.. not sure what it's called but we all had fun chasing each other on it trying to keep our balance and not fall off.
They both had fun on the rope swing...
