Ella's Bike Riding

Ella is learning to ride a bike. Scary, isn't it? She is doing really well. She falls down, cries like she's dying and picks the bike up and goes again.

Happy Birthday Dave!

Dave's birthday was Monday. Grandpa H. bought foam airplanes and everyone got together at the park to fly them. We had a picnic and a beautiful cake made by Aunt D. It was a lot of fun.

New Windows

I got new windows! Yeah! I hope it helps with my power bill. Dad came down and he, dave and jared had the windows in in 2 days, plus 2 new doors. The third day was spent caulking and putting molding back on. I think they look great!

Storm Part 2

Our neighbor's tree lost some branches during the storm. It blocked the roadway and almost hit a truck that was parked on the side of the road. The whole neighborhood came out and had it all cleaned up within a couple of hours. The kids thought it was great fun!

Storm

It has been a while since I've updated the blog. Sorry. I'll try to catch up today.

We had a really bad storm last week. Ella and I were out on the patio enjoying the cooler air. The wind just got worse and worse, and we had to run into the house. I had never seen hail this big. It was the size of a jack ball. It was really loud! It covered all the grass and made several big piles in different places. We went out wading in the ICE water, and it was really COLD.

What do you think?

Well, it's done. And it's a good thing. I don't think I could handle anymore mess. What do you think of the color? It' a lot lighter in the room without the wood paneling. Dave did a great job!!!

Painting

The girls loved helping to paint the wall. Ella liked painting her face.
