4th of July in Thatcher

I went to pick up the older kids from my parents house and was able to be there for 4th of July. Matt had to work - so he couldn't come. The day started bright and early when the firetrucks drive around the town with their sirens on at 5:30 in the freakin AM! Then we hopped in the back of papa's truck and went over to the parade that starts at 6.

I love this picture. The kids were totally enthralled with the parade! (Poor lex is still in her jammas!)

The pics are out of order - but we went back to Nana's house and had a big yummy breakfast. Nana - you tried to get out of the picture, but it didn't work!!! :)

Waiting for the parade to start. The two crazy red heads - Lex and aunt Timilie.

Not lookin so good at 6 am! Especially since I stayed up til 2:30 the night before!

After breakfast, we put the babies back to sleep. Shayla and I had a great time makin a bunch of bows for Bai, Lex, and Neva!

The rest of the day we went swimming, had a bbq, went a cousin's birthday party, and watched fireworks. We had a great 4th of July! Thanks Nana and Papa!

Last Week

Last week my parents took Kaden and Bailey home with them for a little visit at Nana and Papa's house! So I had a few days at home with only one kid! I missed my kids, but was very excited to get lots done. Somehow, lexie missed the memo on that one and definitely did NOT cooperate! I think it was because she is so used to having two older siblings to follow around and play with. But, DANG, that girl was high maintenance! Despite her - I was able to get a few things done:

Looks can be deceiving! She was not this cute and happy all week!
I guess leaning to the side is her new pose!

Sewed some dresses for the girls...

Made a bunch of bows (I found the directions here) and some headbands for a good friend who just had her first girl!

Picked a bunch of tomatoes from our garden and turned this. . . .

....into this!

Steam cleaned all my carpets and furniture!

Baked alot!

My mom taught me how to make jewlry and I am officially obsessed with making bracelets for my girls!

Made this car seat cover for one of my best friends. Hope you like it Jennie - you know I wouldn't do this for just anyone, cause they are a huge pain in the butt! :)

All in all it was a great week - but it's good to have the kids back home!
