Remains of Hurricane Ike

If you look closely you can see our shingles flying off of our roof. It is actually a bit worse than you can tell on here. See the below pictures of at least 60 shingles on our lawn. All of the trees are bending in half and a few in our neighborhood have fallen down. We are hoping we don't get much rain! So far....NONE!
Check out Patrick and Kelly Bull's blog. The first picture is of our roof!

Favorite Part of the Day

This is their favorite part of the day....

I think it is his too!

McKenna's First Day of Preschool

McKenna started preschool today! She will be going 4 days a week for 2.5 hours a day in the afternoon to Hilliard City Preschool.
She will be a "Peer Model" along with about 4 others.
Also in their class will be about 6 students with IEPs, or special needs.
I think this will be a great opportunity for McKenna to interact with all kinds of children.
Of course she picked out her clothes and hair!
She also has lipstick on!

Happy 6th Birthday Kelly!

August 24th was Kelly's birthday. For lunch she got to choose her food. She chose everything orange for some reason.

For dinner she chose pork chops and mashed potatoes with gravy.
After dinner we opened some presents from family and a few from us. She had a big friend party last week at her gymnastics place and that was her big present from us.

She is wearing a new dress I got her for her birthday.

Daddy and his girls!

Kelly's First Day of First Grade

On the FIRST day of school I always let her choose what she is going to wear and how she wants her hair done. I always think she will say she wants her hair down with a clip in it because that is how she always wants it every other day. NO! Last year she wanted buns on the side. This year she chose one BIG bun in the back. She also picked out this outfit. I think she liked it because it has matching shoes.

Little sisters wanted to be in on the action as well.
Camille sat down and posed for this one.

Mimi and Bompee

How much fun can you fit into 4 days?
A lot!
Mimi and Bompee came to visit all the way from California and we had so much fun.
First the girls showed Mimi their rooms.

We played in the backyard in the upside down pool. Who knew how much fun that could be!

We went out to eat and had ice cream cake for Cory's birthday!! 30!
(Thank you Jodi for coming over.)

We made Mimi and Bompee walk all over the zoo and take pictures with a fake tiger.

Mimi let McKenna take pictures with her camera. She loved it because it is something I don't let her do!

Bompee got to pull the girls around in the wagon.

We went blackberry picking. Bompee thought it was a little too far to go until he tasted the berries!! Just kidding Bompee.

We had a mini party for Kelly's birthday. Thanks for the gifts everyone.

Mimi and Bompee got to be the first to try out the new games.

And, on the last day, the girls got some face painting done by our own talented Mimi!!
What cute little butterflies!

They only got to see their own son for a few hours each day. Sorry!
The girls and I had fun.......so much fun that they were both asleep within 5 minutes of dropping off Mimi and Bompee at the airport.
Thanks for everything. We had so much fun!

The Last 2 Days

Tuesday morning Kelly woke up sick a little after 6 AM!
She has been laying around for 2 days only to get up and use the bathroom. When daddy got home from work he took her on a little drive for fresh air and ice cream. She decided to save the ice cream for later.
I hope she feels better tomorrow.

McKenna got the same thing later the same day but either did not get it as bad or is handling it better. Tonight she is almost running around like normal.
We ALL have spent almost 2 days in our pajamas!
Camille as escaped it so far. Let's cross our fingers.
