Whitney's First Fourth of July

Yes it has been awhile since I posted last. :) I thought it was about time to post again. I had lots of fun picking out her fourth of July outfit, this time I had four outfits to choose from. :) They all fit her I found one at wal-mart, target and two at babies 'r' us. I decided that I really liked the one from Target. The top was red and white striped and the bottom was blue shorts. They were so cute on Her!! That night we were going to go to my sister's (Lisa's house) and eat dinner and watch the Pleasant Grove fireworks. (Note: this is a tradition that we have done since I was young to watch the fireworks, they used to to be at the highschool, but since they got a new football field they would never do them again, they were too worried that if some fell on the field that it would melt the "fake" grass, turf!) Anyway I was really excited to show her off to the family. I had just fed her and was about to put her down for a nap, when i smelled something. I thought oh no she poopied. Sure enough she did and it was all over her outfit and I thought grrrreat I really like this outfit, Hello, I have a washer and drier, I hurried and put another outfit on her and threw it in the wash. Travis got home in time to go to my sister's for dinner and we were off. They had ribs and they were really good!!! The meat was so tender that it fell right off the bone!!! Thinking about now makes me crave them and my mouth water. Lisa is a great decorator for parties and she has such good taste, she had her deck all decked out!! She had the tables covered in cute table cloths red, blue and white and tea candles set out! You would have been there, but it was so festive. I loved it!! And my sister is a great host!!! :) Anyway it was getting a little chilly i thought so i changed whitney into her p.j's and it was time for the fireworks. They were really good this year!! Anyway after it was done it was time to go back and help lisa clean up. It was a good day to be with my family and most of all it was a great day to be with Whitney and my sweet husband Travis. :)

Strawberry Days Parade Contined!

Well.. I know this is a little late talking about the Parade, but I have a lot of catching up to do! I think that this will become my journal. I am going to be honest! If you don't like anything I say too bad! :) The Next Morning we got up around 7 a.m. the parade started at 10:00 so we have to get up earlier because we live 40 minutes away from Pleasant Grove. This was going to be Whitney's FIRST STRAWBERRY DAYS!!! I was so excited. We hurried and got ready and off we went. I had three outfits for the day. The first one was one I bought before Whitney was even born. I looked at the tag and I was so excited to put her in it, I saw the tag and I was dissapointed it said 12 months and Whitney was only 7 1/2 months. I tried on her to see if it fit. Nope! It was way too big! The Second Outfit was One that my sister Karen bought for Whitney it was really cute. It had strawberrys all over it. It was a onsie. It was cute I looked at the tag and then it said 6 months. Oh no I was dissapointed and I didn't want to hurt my sisters feelings that I didn't put her in it. So finally the last one was I bought at target, but it wasn't cute as my sisters. I fianlly put it on and we were ready to go! I looked outside and looked up at the sky and it was cloudy! I thought oh please don't rain on us. I stepped out to see what the tempature was and it was cold! Maybe in the 60's but not what I wanted it to be for her first strawberry days, because her outfit was sleevless(I can't spell) so I looked around for her little sweater and put it on. Alright we were ready to go! We got there a little early and the only people that were there so far was my aunt Nancy (my dad's sister) and her Husband (uncle Robert) My family wasn't even there yet! Typical! ;) Anyway we got settled and waited for the parade to start. During that time, my family started to trickle in. Finally the parade started! It was a great Parade and she wasn't even scared of the Fire Engines, she just learned how to clap so she started to clap when the Fire Engines went by it was soooo dang cute. I didn't bring my video camera gosh dang it! Well, it did rain a little bit, but they still did the parade and after the parade we went to my sister Amie's House and had a bbq it was great they had a cotton candy machine that they rented and a snow cone maker, the only thing lacking was the smell of the carni ( the carnival always has the smell of cigratee smoke) we don't smoke, but we have a inside joke about that, but you wouldn't understand it. Anyway they also had strawberries and cream and sure was mmmmm Good! Then it started to rain and everyone had to run around and get the cotton candy machine and everything inside! It was a great Day!!!! I always look forward to that family tradition!! We usually don't even take a vacation during that time because their is so much going on that week. I am already looking forward to next year, becuase she will be old enough to go on the rides :)
