T-Shirt Bikini...

Alright so Jazz and I were talking swimsuits a few days ago...if Big Mama used to make her own swimsuits back in the day (40+ years ago) we certainly could try our hand at it. I found a pattern for a t-shirt bikini. Appeared simple enough...triangles, hourglass and sew. The pictures give it more credit than it is worth! I called Joce up first for a fitting...I couldn't stop laughing the top was too wide between the triangles and the bottoms had this weird seam thing going on above the toosh. Hmmm...Jazzy's turn. The top was too small and the bottoms still had the weird seam thing above the toosh. The girls would not let me even get a snapshot of them in the bikini--I was just cracking up--they looked like these cave women with swimsuits...too funny! What to do??? Roxy! In the words of a Natalie and Kortney; it was definitely...primitive!




UPDATE! Okay so I didn't give up on the t-shirt bikini. An hour later and wha-la! Jocelyn has a sassy orange bikini with a little advertising on the toosh for Grandpa Luis! And Jasmine in a very stylish beach ready shark bikini.

Friends!

What is true friendship? I think true friendships are those that can pick up exactly where you left off without having felt like any time passed between...I have a few of those friends; including my sisters. Natalie is definitely one...our school year tends to leave not much time to get together but when we do--BINGO!

Today we had a lovely visit with Natalie and Evan minus the crazy, scary Dozer! Ugh! He nipped Natalie--TWICE! Needless to say Evan never was within the reach of Dozer and Dozer spent most of his time in "time-out."

The Yanez fam was very happy to see lil Evan again. He is the BIGGEST lovie! Evan snuggles and gives kisses--oh so sweet! As you can see with the pictures we had a little fun with Evan...take notice of the NO WHINING sign...I know we are NOT professional photographers but we like to mix it up.

Jazz and Joce enjoyed having a little holding time with Evan. Evan enjoys just looking at them and pulling hair...I love dear-in-the-headlight Evan--I am sure that is from one of Dozer's crazy barking episodes. Evan was more than likely over stimulated today--let's hope for a good night's rest with all the ruckus at my house!

Happy 4th of July to all! We are planning on our usual Saturday night church service but with fireworks! I will post some pictures from that next week...if I don't forget the camera--bad habit I know!
