4th of July

We had a fun and super relaxed 4th!  Luckily Nick and I both had the day off. Which is crazy like whoa!  In the morning we went to our neighborhoods pancake breakfast and bike parade.  It is lead by a firetruck every year.  The kids love it!  We decorated up the kids wagon and pulled them along while they waved and yelled hi to people.  After that we went home and worked a little in the garden and the kids took naps.  Our sweet friends had us over for a barbecue and then it was down to the park for the big firework show.  It was so so great!  Nicco screamed the whole time and Lola sat saying Wow!  We headed back to our friends house and they put on an awesome firework display.  This year is the first year that aerials were legal in Utah!  That is a huge huge deal!  There were aerials everywhere.  It was way fun.  PLus it was Lola and Nicco's first time doing sparklers.  They loved it!  It was great!

Easy Peasy dress!





See Lola's dress?  The one that has straps that need to be fixed? I made that!  It is two bandanas sewn together.  I added a casing at the top for some elastic to tighten it up and added levi straps.  The straps are a little skeewompaus but I am so proud of it!  I love it as a matter of fact.  She loves "pitty" dresses.  So much so that she will keep them on.  At least for a little while.  It was the perfect dress for the 4th of July!  I see a few more bandana dresses in here near future.  It was easy peasy!  If anyone wants a full on tutorial I would be happy to put one together as I will be making millions more of these!  Especially considering I bought the bandanas for a buck a piece and it took me 30 minutes to make.  YAY for inexpensive crazy fast baby dresses!  Sorry for the quality of pictures!  Trying to get that girl to sit still for 2 seconds is a fight to the finish!
