Father's Day

I wanted to make Kevin's first Father's Day special, so I whipped up this cute little dress from a men's button up shirt I bought the two of them from Old Navy (i love ON!) I sew (hehe, get it?) did not think of this on my own, I followed the tutorial for the shirt dress here



Alright, so it was a little more than a 'whip' to make the dress and silly me, I took a dress from her closet to make the pattern with instead of actually measuring her..well let's just say I squeezed her into it, see....



And yes, I took the picture...probably should leave that up to Kevin from now on. But just for the record, I will claim the bad shadows but 'baby in motion' was NOT my fault, she must have been excited about her new dress! The pic below is a little better thou :)



My mom house sat for a friend last weekend, she has a fun 'party' house! So the rest of the weekend looked a little like this...

My mom, grandma & grandpa



My nephew Isaac with Alana



My nephews Issac, Elijah & my twin jumping



The twin again, auntie Jen, with Alana



Yes, she's underwater, I'm so mean, but she was a trooper!



All in all, Father's Day weekend was really special. Kevin was so excited about Alana'a matching dress and I was excited to swim!
