FUNTASTIC FRIDAY LINK PARTY 600 AND DIY CRAFTS

Welcome to Funtastic Friday #600! 

Thanks for joining and sharing with us over the years!

🎉🎉🎉

I did go to Utah on July 3rd. We attended a 4th of July parade in an area of SLC that was on the schedule of the Hill AFB fighter jets' flyover. However, I noted on a Facebook post that the pilots were delayed in getting off the ground that morning; we did wait about 30 minutes past their scheduled appearance at the parade and on our way back to the car, they did flyover but looked to be several blocks away. A bit disappointed but things happen, especially in fighter jets that cost tens of millions of dollars each lol. Respect to those who serve and fly those machines!

We did attend a Salt Lake Bees minor league baseball game on the 4th. They moved to a new stadium a few years ago and so our first time in the America Square stadium. The Bees played the Las Vegas Aviators, the Bees won 9 to 1. 

Nothing beats the excitement of a "produce race"! 

Except maybe military choppers doing a flyover at the end of the game!

Fireworks after the ballgame!

It was a nice weekend and I love the 4th of July, especially the 250th one! It was a bit bittersweet as we moved our daughter, Ali Rose, to Utah and as her mama, I am inclined to worry a bit and naturally, miss her. We will go back to visit and take a few more items to her soon but having her hours away will be an adjustment, especially for this mama.

I did update a post from 2016 just a bit--UPDATED CAR SEAT CANOPY FOR BABY.

I have a link included with full instructions from the blog I found the post on. I made this one for Parker when he was born in 2016.

Onto Funtastic Friday and Features!

UPDATED CAR SEAT CANOPY FOR BABY

This is an update from a 2016 post. Hope you still find this useful!

Staci and her husband had their first child, Parker Scott--born on May 16, 2016, and we all love him so!  With a new baby, parents need lots of necessities, but they also should have some fun, helpful items (that grandma didn't have when her kids were little).

So I found an easy to follow and quick to come together tutorial for a car seat canopy by Chelsea at Life With My Littles.  The hyperlink there will take you right to her photos and tutorial so you can make your own car seat canopy!  Staci mentioned that since they have been using the canopy, Parker seems to rest better while in the seat--maybe it cuts down on light or distractions?

I bought my fabric at JoAnn's (RIP, Joann's) and found some cute flannel material. Since I live in a small town, I have had good luck in buying my flannel online thru Michael's, so you could check there too. 

I used a zigzag stitch for my top stitch.

These are so simple to make and I am glad I found Chelsea's tutorial!  I am going to make another one soon for Parker.

Thanks for stopping by today!

FUNTASTIC FRIDAY LINK PARTY AND HAPPY 250 YEARS AMERICA

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOU BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, YOU! 250 YEARS LOOKS GREAT ON YOU!

How will you celebrate our country's semiquicentennial? As I noted last week, we will be in the Salt Lake City area. I did purchase tickets to the Salt Lake Bees baseball game (farm team of the LA Angeles). They have the BEST fireworks after the game so that was what we decided on. Not sure what we will do during the day but will be scouring the internet for fun activities. Still hoping to catch the Hill Air Force Base and Utah National Guard fighter jets/pilots as they fly over various parades and areas starting at 8 a.m. on the 4th!

FUNTASTIC FRIDAY LINK PARTY AND COUNTDOWN TO AMERICA'S 250

Let's start partying like its 1776!

CREDIT: CREATIVE FABRICA

WELCOME TO THE PARTY! Another week to the big 2-5-0 for our beautiful country! We will be in the Salt Lake Valley in Utah so looking for some fun events to attend! We used to spend the 4th in Utah quite often but it has been a few years. I do know that pilots from Hill Air Force Base in Roy will be doing flyovers over multiple Utah cities and towns on the morning of the 4th! We have seen them before and it is such a proud moment AND amazing how those pilots can fly over 4th of July parades or events at precisely the moment scheduled! Gives me chills when I see them! Let me know in the comments if you have any plans for the 4th.
