4th Of July Parade

One of my absolute favorite things about the 4th of July is the West Bountiful parade! Lame I know, but I look forward to it every year and if I miss it I am truly sad. This year it was a whole week early, weird I know, but we still went and we dragged our friends Kipp and Krystal, my brother and his wife, and my parents with us. It was Makayla's first real parade and she loved it. Maybe it was because of all the candy she got, side note if you want to get a lot of candy just have a kid with you.

Makayla and her mommy!

Makayla's favorite things were the firetrucks, the dogs, and the horses. She got so excited when the dogs went by yelling, "Dogie Dogie". This shows her excitement.

Makayla also loved the flag she got. She would wave it in one hand while holding tight to the sucker she was eating in the other one. She kept trying to eat the candy as they were throwing it out to us.

After the parade we went back to my parents house and made and ate breakfast. It was yummy, but it was a little too much for Makayla. She was so tired from all the excitement that this happened at the table while we were eating.

This is the first time she has ever fallen asleep while in her high chair. it was so funny. The best part was the process of her falling asleep. First she started to fade away. She has this thing with pushing. When she is tired or in a restricted area she pushes against it until she is red or sometimes purple in the face, it is really annoying. Anyway she started to do this and we knew she was falling asleep.

We all started to laugh and then she did this.

She opened her eyes and started to laugh with us. Then we looked back at her and her eyes were closed again. We would laugh and she would open them and laugh again. She did this a couple of times. No she wasn't faking asleep she was totally out of it when she did it. After awhile she stopped opening her eyes and just did this.

She would smile with her eyes closed anytime we would laugh. She did this a few times until she was totally out. We were all laughing so hard. She is so cute and funny I just can't stand it!
