Our 4th of July was pretty laid back this year. Usually we do a big Supinger party but we all together on Sunday July 9th for our nephews homecoming. Also we sometimes do a Schillerstrom party but since we all went camping the weekend before we decided on a quiet 4th just the four of us well kind of since we still did do stuff with friends. The kids looked so cute in their patriotic outfits even Lea looked adorable.
On July 3rd we got our bikes all ready for the wards breakfast and bike parade.
We also bought our fireworks for a small family firework show that day.
On the real day, Tuesday the 4th we got ready and went to the church pancake breakfast. Breakfast was a huge disappointment we were a little late and pretty much all the food was gone and what was left made the kids gag so we didn't eat anything. Also Aubrey wanted to bring her doll which ended up being me holding her doll while she did the bike parade. The doll attracted some different types of people wanting to talk to me about dolls and even a friend made a real insensitive comment to me saying she thought I dressed and brought a doll since I can't have anymore babies! who says stuff like that??!?? Church people can be so strange sometimes. Oh well I tried to not let mean comments bug me and let the kids have fun riding their bikes.
After the breakfast we came home and worked out, had lunch and watched Pitch Perfect. Then went to the Callister's pool for some pool time and games.
That evening we went out with our good friends to dinner. We decided on a good kid friendly place, Sonic. It was so yummy and I wondered why we haven't gone there in so long. The kids just love playing on that silly snap chat I jumped in for some fun with them while we waited for our food.
After dinner went to the Atwater airport for the best firework show ever. It was a lot of fun!
What a great day!
Wednesday July 6th we declared it fun hair day! I took Aubrey to get a cut and she wanted some layers. She has been begging to dye a strand of her hair pink for so long. I had her do some chores and she earned it. We found out about a dye that last 5 washes with no chemicals and is not bad for her hair so she was really excited.
Carter wanted dyed hair too and I said he has to wait until he is 9 and also earn it. But he has said that he wanted a logo in his hair for a long time so I thought why not. There is a really neat old fashion barber shop by our house so I thought I would try it out. Man did I feel out of place when we walked in! It was all men, a very strong cologne aroma, video games, and beer. Carter was hilarious and looked up at me and said, "mom this is my kind of place it's a man place!" I couldn't hold in my laughter!! Well they asked if we had an appointment and we didn't so we said no we just wondered how much a design would be. Carter's hair was a little long on the sides and since daddy cuts his hair I asked how long they wanted us to cut it and we would and we would bring him back next time for the design. Well before I knew it a man stood up and started cutting Carter's hair for free and then the artist came over and worked his magic.
30 minutes and $15 later we had one very happy boy!
Daddy was very surprised when he came home from work to see what we had been up too. That night we had a BBQ and did our own fireworks at home.
It was a great show put on by Carter and daddy!
I might as well add some other fun pictures to this post:
