My little hair dresser!

Isn't she so cute! I found her in her room doing her dolls hair. For Christmas last year she got a salon chair and all the accerories to do hair. She is always wanting to comb mine. She might be a hair dresser after all.

So Silly!

We were eating lunch at our regular time, and Preston decided to stick a carrot in his mouth. Callie is definitely a follower so she went along as well. I thought it was really funny and had to take a picture.

Swimming at Mimi and Papa's house!

Taylor's sisters both came over to his parents house to visit before we move. Callie always has fun with her cousins Tyler, McKayla and Rylee.

Our trip to D.C. My whole family!!

I think this is the only picture of all of us. I have a great family.

Washington Temple

We went to the visitor center and walked around the temple on Sunday. The temple is so enormous. It is beautiful too. You can see if from the freeway with trees on both sides. It is a grand site. A friend of Taylors was visiting the Washington D.C. temple many years ago and saw a sign on the overpass that said Surrender Dorthy. I thought it was pretty funny.

Famous Name!

We were leaving D.C. and saw this Hotel sign and just had to take a pictue.

Center of Washington, D. C.

Here are all the kids standing in the center of Washington. It is in the U.S. Capital.

My mom and sisters

My family decided to go to Washington, D. C. for our trip this year. There was a total of 21 of us. We had a good time. We went to see many sites all around Washington, Virgina, Maryland, and Pennyslvania. We also went to Mount Vernon where George Washington's house is. We didn't charge our batteries that day so no pictures. George Washington's backyard overlooks the Patomac river. It is such a beautiful site. It was so neat to think that he lived in the house. I really felt the spirit of what a great man he was and how he helped make what the United States of America is today.

Inside the domb of the Capital.

U. S. Capital, July 3rd

My mom set up a tour of the capital with her senator from Indiana. It was really neat. We traveled from the Hart building to the capital underground on this train car. The building has great architecture.

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, July 4th

We drove to Gettyburg for the 4th of July. I think it was very fitting since Gettysburg was the turning point of the Civil War. I am definitely proud to be an American. It was really neat to think that we were in Gettysburg where a lot of the battles took place. Taylor and I are standing on the top of the Soldiers National Monument. It was so beautiful in Pennyslvania. Our drive took about an hour and a half and the whole way I just kept thinking everything was so green and lush. I would love to live there.

View of the back of the White House

Callie wanted to take a picture of us. I think she did a pretty good job. As you can see Preston is snoozing. He did not get much sleep on our trip.

Sunday, July 6th at the White House

We found a great parking spot right near the White House. It is impossible to find parking in Washington D. C. We were excited. It was neat to see it. I had never been to Washington, D. C. before. When we were walking past the back of the White House we saw a Blue Bell ice cream truck leave the gates. I guess President Bush has to have his Blue Bell ice cream. I do love Blue Bell too.
