4th of July

We had such a fun 4th of July!! I of course had to get us all prepared for the day so I painted mine and Addie's toenails. Shawn, (the creative one), gave me the idea of what I should do and I loved it!! Too bad little miss Addie is not patient at all and it was quite the adventure trying to get her nails painted. I would paint one and then blow on it like crazy to get it to dry before I even attempted to paint another one. Otherwise, we were cleaning up nail polish off the carpet. But they turned out so cute!

 We spent the morning at Shawn's parents swimming. We went early to beat the heat and also to get Addie some time in the pool before all the cousins arrived. She gets so intimidated by them!

 She was a little hesitant even though this isn't her first time in the pool at all! But it always takes her about 10 minutes before she will play in the water.

 I love her little swimsuit!

 She really wanted to swim with all the blow up toys. Shawn loved it. I, on the other hand, was freaking out a little. But she did so good and had such a fun time!!

 She kept rotating through the animals but the dragon ended up being her favorite! Love this little one. And I did end up in the pool but thank goodness we didn't get any pictures of that!

 After pool time we had a BBQ. Addie had a great time playing on all the furniture and watching her cousins! I made the cutest firecracker cookies but of course, didn't take pictures of them. Oh well.

We took a bunch of pictures with our nice camera of Addie in her outfit. Also we took some of me and her together. When I went to upload the pictures, I realized that our memory card wasn't in the camera!!! So none of the pictures got saved. Being pregnant, I may or may not have cried a little over that. I spent over an hour making bows until I made the perfect one, got her in her cute outfit and actually got ready myself and now we have no pictures. So I'm glad I took this one of her playing at my parents. And I'll have to dress her back up for the 24th and remember to put our memory card in!!!! She does look darling!

Then I just had to throw this gem in. We spent the evening at my parents house, eating dinner, playing games and then we went outside to watch the fireworks. They live right behind Thanksgiving Point so we didn't have to drive anywhere. Just walk into the backyard and they were right there!!! So much fun. Anyway, while we hanging out my lovely sister stole my camera and took a bunch of pictures. Isn't she pretty?! LOL.
