August Update

I can not believe that August is almost done. Where has the summer gone? We have 3 weeks left and then it is back to the grind of school schedule. Ellaree has been Little Miss Socialite as she has been going to one friends house after another or the friends have been here. I only have one day free where there is nothing happening before school starts.

Here are some great photos from this past month.   

Ellaree took off her training wheels.  She is doing really good.  She will only ride her bike in the grass though as she is afraid of falling on the driveway. 

Ellaree is a very quick study as she picked this up so quickly. She was so proud of herself.  She will go across the driveway now but other than that she will not stay on the driveway.  It will come!

And of course there are these times that we fall...sometimes on purpose.  :)

Mommy finally learned how to french braid.  Oh the little things in life.  I have wanted to learn forever and I finally did it!

Day with the Hardin's - we were scheduled to get together with The Hardin's but my kiddos were all sick (except Ellaree).  Therefore on the spur of the moment last Sunday we got together  and it was a blast!  Here the kids are watching a scary movie.

Daddy, Reece & Uncle Todd playing football.  Man did Reece love it!

Mr. Harry loved Aunt Laurie or as he said it "an laura"

Ellaree got a makeup kit for her birthday and we finally got time to dig into it.  She also got hair clips from Rachel...this make for one glamorous session.  She shut the bathroom door so her siblings couldn't come in and this is what I found...she is showing her nails are done as well.

After some much needed rain our garden started to produce.  We have had quite a bit of potatoes, some lettuce & beans.

Here we are all ready for the Wild West Days Parade.  This is an annual event that we got to each year.  We all get dressed up in our western attire and head out the parade down main street.  We had Delaney with us.  The girls had so much fun.

I love this picture!

Oh my beautiful Lorelai

This little girl will not sit still very long for me.  She was dancing and exploring while the parade was late coming.
