our trip continued

After visiting Colorado Springs, we continued to visit Loveland, Longmont (so far our favorite), Greeley and a few smaller towns in between. Out of Colorado we checked out Laramie Wyoming, which we are not fond of, but the trip was still fun. When we got to Idaho on Monday we went to Emily's house and stayed with her until Thursday morning. We got to ride Emily's horse (kinda emily's, kinda just borrowed) Buster, which M loved! and we got some cute pics of her on Buster, and some of E on the four wheeler! WE went swimming, but we chose a pretty chilly and windy day for swimming, so it didn't last long. The highlight for me (other than Emily of course) was El Herradaros (sp?), a super yummy authentic mexican food restraunt, that serves cheep and delicious food - tacos, super burrito and quesadilla for us! We ate there twice.

Emily's dog, Harley is as big as my daughter (ok, not as tall, but you'll get the picture) but he is super sweet, and I love him. WE played in Emily's yard a bit, and M was introduced to mint that is growing in her garden; one day she was following Chris all over and playing with him, and apparently he got her some (they also went around and picked flowers for me) And she insisted on keeping it and offered everyone to rub it on there hands (it makes them smell good) or to smell it. She got a big leaf from a tree and rolled her mint up in it and stuck in it her pocket to take camping with us. Before we left Emily's M said "I will miss Emily and Harley and Chris, but this mint will remind me of them" and then, when we were camping, she still had her mint, took it out of her pocket and said "I miss Emily." It was really cute. And now she always thinks of Emily when she has mint. WE MISS YOU EMILY!!

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

End of the week

This week has been lots of fun. J's mom, step-dad, sister and nephew all came to stay with us for the week. We've had a lot of fun visiting, playing games, and swimming. I'm so glad they came to visit us, aaallll the way from Idaho! We're lucky they had the time and all came! They are leaving in the morning because his step-dad has to work sunday afternoon! Crazy wonderful people. On another note, tomorrow J and I will have been married 3 years. I can hardly believe it's been three years....absolutely wonderful. I have never made a better decision in my life!

bribe

We had a fun weekend - we went to the zoo which was having family fun day, and then we went to the dog show (both of which were free). Then on Sunday we went to Greg & Robin's to see their new puppies, and they are stinkin' cute! And Greg BBQ'ed for us - yummy! At one point, while we were hanging out at their house, Robin sat down on the couch and asked M if she was gonna come sit by her, and M said: "I will sit by you if you get me a drink of water." (as she was climbing up on the couch next to her). And this would be the first time I have heard her use a bribe (and certainly not the last) - I told her maybe she should ask instead and she got embarassed.
