I Sewed a summer dress for Malia

I got a new sewing machine from my sister in law Maudie. I would sew occasionally with my old one but not very often because I would get so frustrated with the stupid thing. But since I got a really nice one I thought I should sew a summer dress for Malia. I bought the material before she was born because I thought it was so cute. Any way It was so simple but it took me forever. It took 7 hours and I did it all in one day I neglected my kids and kept at it because I was going to see my family the next day. When Paul got home from work I was pulling my hair out and my back and eyes were sore from sitting in that position so long. Any way mymom told me the more I sew the easier it will get, I hope so. I also made a matching flower to go in her hair. Dont look too close because you will see all of the mistakes.

River Rafting!

Going down the River was tons of fun I was worried about Malia but she did fine after we got going and only cried when the she heard Mauri cry because of the noise of the rapids. It was a pretty calm river with a few rapids. Tacoma loved looking for fish and going through the rapids.

Flaming Gorge

We went Camping in Flaming Gorge. We went fishing in the morning and let the kids play in the water. The next day we went to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kids hide out. on the way home we stopped and looked for arrow heads. Brandon found an over hang that looked like and Indian would have camped there, he found a handful of arrow heads. It was a fun weekend.

Having fun in July!
