Mad-Crazy Knitting Machine!!

My BP (best peep) loves herself some knitting action!  Remember that she made me this for my birthday?

This bag was for all my 7 Peaks adventures with the kiddos this summer.
Jersi loved (wearing) it so much that BP made her one too -  which she promptly wore on her head.


and then one for Kyndi and Oaklee too!!

Dayton wanted one - so we soon received this Spiderman bag:
Next came this surprise:
A new one for me!!
And now, this one too! (For Morrissa)

We are all set for purses around here! All of them were completed in like a two week span!  We love them!!  See, she is a total mad-crazy knitting machine!
(As a side note: Jersi is currently sleeping with her baby tucked into her purse like a sleeping bag.  She loves that thing!!)

Fiesta Days Extravaganza

Spanish Fork has a Fiesta Days celebration the week of the 24th of July... complete with a carnival, parade, Fireworks, and other such excitements

Again, Pictures, Pictures, Pictures...

One of many Otter Pops eaten at this parade...



 Tate got to participate in a martial arts demonstration and he broke this board with his hand!

 Proof that even the big kids were there
 Don't mind Kyndi - she'll just sprawl out in the road. (with Dayton, Oaklee and Tate)
 Cute lil Midget

 She ran out in the candy catchin chaos and got herself some smarties!!  She was so proud.
 Waving at the princesses
 
 The concert at the ball field before the firework show...I had to work that night So Kamron took them and I met up with them later... (that detail comes in handy in a moment)
I tried to take a picture of Tate and Kyndi up there near the stage but got this lady's butt instead
 My very next attempt not more than thirty seconds later got this dude's butt!
 Kyndi dancing her guts out to the music
 Jersi plugging her ears - apparently the music was too loud for her liking.
Also, remember the tidbit about Kamron taking them there? (and as an important side note also relevant to this story, Morrissa left town that afternoon for her cousin's house) Notice Jersi's filthy face... Dayton and Oak's faces were filthy too - and Kyndi's shirt was a total disaster of spilled Popsicle... Not to worry though, Kamron had ketchup all over his shirt too...


 Jumpin to the Jump song


 The drummer broke his drumstick and gave it to Tate - he was thrilled and proceeded to drum along to every song.
 Jersi lookin a little lost - Oaks left her and went to join the dancing (pictured there in a red shirt and bright pink pants)
 Here we can see Dayton (with the blue hooded shirt), Tate (behind the pole), Kyndi (three over from him) and Oaks (the one with a serious wedgie)
 Finally time for fireworks!!  Jersi and Oaks snuggling up to daddy
 Tate and Kyndi in the red glow of the firework
 Dayton mesmerized





 Roughly 3 minutes into the fireworks and Jersi is sound asleep.  Try to not notice Kamron's creepy eye, I dare you.

 So cute!


 Dayton: "Mom, take a picture of this"
And on that note we ended our Fiesta Days Extravaganza  (I refuse to discuss or admit to getting lost trying to find my car...Kamron may or may not be aware of this fact)

Handcart Parade

We (me and Tate, Kyndi, Oaklee, Dayton, and Jersi) ventured up to Bountiful for their handcart days parrade.
My parents were there.  Samantha and Mike, and Atticus (his parents were at Wicked)...and James was in the parade, more on that shortly.

Pictures Pictures and more pictures...
Jersi tries on Gus' hat
 All 5 of my kiddos in attendance...
 Dayton waves his flag
Grandma and Grandpa (aka my mom and dad)
 Samantha/Penelope
 Mike...
 Kolee-Olee
 Dayton's crazy faces
 The float my dad was so proud of - as his fog machine was used for the steam (not pictured)
  Holding the flag all by himself
 Jersi loves him so much, she can't resist kissin' and pinchin' his "cheeky cheekies"



Jersi LOVES princesses - pointed every single one out
More kisses...
 Just chillin'
My double chin - Samantha's giraffe neck and Mike...whatever he's doing...
 Dayton's turn to hold Gus and wear his hat...
 Atticus and grandma
 Jersi
 She just can't get enough
 Santa in the parade
 More of this kid
 Dayton and Kyndi thought this guy was pretty cool!
 Here come the warriors!
 The strange clown that was making siren noises
 Jersi went and sat herself on the curb between to strangers
 Apparently it didn't bother her at all
 The Warriors marching past... I think there were over 2000 of them...
 More of Penelope and Atticus (Apparently both Jersi and I were far more delighted to watch Atticus than the parade)

After the parade my kiddos waited and waited for James (one of the strippling warriors) to come see us. Every one of the 5 kids ran to him (even Jersi)
What a stud muffin!
