Finishing touches, decorating M&K's room.

About two years ago, I picked out bedding for M&K, right about the time they got their "big girl" beds. Quite a few months ago, my mom and I painted their room to go with their bedding. Yesterday I finally put up most of the "finishing touches" to their decorations. There are still a few things left to do (valances for their windows, painting the headboard that step-dad made for them), but it's pretty close to done. So I thought I should share some pictures!

4th of July -- Parade Edition!

The girls all rode the Bobby Lawrence Karate float in the 4th of July parade this year. I marched behind, helping some of the older kids to keep from killing each other (kids with nunchuks marching behind little kids doing kicks -- bad combo!). It was a lot of fun. Daddy-J caught up with us about half-way through and took some pics!

4th of July Fun!

We had a lot of fun this weekend! We stayed at The Canyons Saturday night so as to be there for the festivities. After swimming in the crazy crowded pool all afternoon, we headed out to the forum to a concert by the Disco Drippers. It was a bit chilly, but the music and dancing were definitely fun!



There was a really pretty sunset, but this was the best picture I got from where we were sitting.



The girls really enjoyed the kettle corn!




And the fireworks were great!




We were tired when we got back to our room after 10:00 p.m., and everyone crashed to get some sleep for the next big adventure on Sunday: the parade!
