Manly Boys

I don't think these boys could get any cuter!

A couple Saturdays ago our friends Michael and Cara came up and spent the day with the kids and me while Deveren was out working.  We went and saw Toy Story 3 (LOVED IT) and then we met Deveren and the other boys for lunch at Chilis (Favorite place).  After lunch we swam at the pool.  It was a great day!  Here are the cuties after we swam.... 

These guys are only a few days apart!

They were having so much fun playing in the laundry basket with the clean clothes

Red, White, and Blue

I had been searching for some cute outfits of the fourth.  I found a cute outfit for Brek but couldn't find anything I liked for Bailie.  So my friend Cara told me I should just make something for her.  I have never made ANYTHING for Bailie....  Ever.  I am not crafty.  I wish I was but I wasn't made for that kind of stuff...  This looked super easy and so I thought I would try it and see what happened.  It took about an hour to make.  And I think it turned out cute.  I was so proud!  And so excited for Bailie to wear it. 

I was sick on the fourth of July.  Like super sick.  (I ended up going to instacare the next day and found out I had a viral infection aka KILLER sore throat.  I would spit my saliva in the sink so I wouldn't have to swallow.  On top of that I had the chills and got dizzy a lot.)  I didn't get out of bed til about 4 because Dev's sisters and their families were coming over to have a bbq and swim at the pool.  I stayed outside for a little over an hour and then ended up coming back up to rest.  It was NOT a fun 4th of July.  

Since the kids didn't get to wear their outfits on the 4th, I decided to get them dressed up and at least take pictures so I have something to show for my efforts :)  Plus we all know how much I love taking pictures!  So are my babies....  and this is what they would have worn on the fourth of July this year!
