Fourth of July Weekend

It has finally warmed up around here and we are enjoying the sun while we can. It's nice to be able to spend our days outside and in Lucy's kiddie pool that her awesome Aunt Lyndsey and Uncle Jeffrey gave her.

We started off the weekend by having a picnic outside eating hamburgers and fries. Then we went on a walk around the neighborhood. It was so simple but it was so fun! That night I had the urge to make Lucy a patriotic dress that I saw online. So at 10pm Friday night I started sewing and continued until 3 in the morning when it was finished. And I must say she was darling in it.

On the actual Fourth we went to the parade and enjoyed all the candy that we got from the floats. Lucy had so much fun and was happy the entire time. She loved lounging in mom and dad's chair much more than her stroller. She ate lots of candy and waved her flag like a good little American. :)

She wanted so badly to play with the kitty that was on the other side of the fence.

After the parade we checked out the little festival thing down the road. There were games, food, crafts, and entertainment. This was the sign at the coin toss. It says "$1.00 Games Eveyon Wins." We got a kick out of it. Good ol' Tooele. We love it here.

That evening we went to our friends' house and had a barbeque with 4 other couples and their kids. Can I just say I love my friends. It was so fun. The kids were adorable and the food and conversation were great. We all gathered in the driveway to watch the men put on a firework show. The kids loved them, minus Lucy.

By the way, we love it here so much we're settling here for good! We signed a contract and put down money to build a home in Grantsville, about 10 minutes from here. We've picked out all the details and they'll start building this month! It wont be finished until October 15th. We took a picture of our lot. It doesn't look like much now but this is where our children will grow up.
