Big Girls

My big girls are all growing up.

Last week Annie turned 8 years old what a big girl she is. This week she is going to be babtized. I can't believe it. While in Oklahoma she finally learned to swim. This might not seem amazing, but all my girls are pretty afraid of the water. Two weeks of swimming in OK helped out. She can swim underwater across the pool and is so comfortable in the water. This year I promise to do swimming lessons.

Mags turns 5 years old in one week and learned to ride her bike this week. Her friends Ethan and Dillon learned to ride their bikes while we were in OK and they couldn't wait to show her. She tried for a few days and finally figured it out. She is so proud of herself, she likes to tell everyone.

The very same day Ellie Mae learned to pedal on her bigwheel. She likes to argue, so if you call her big, she will tell you she is little and if you call her little, she will tell you she is big. What a cutie. She just turned 3 years old.

And 4 month old Eva can roll over. Wow I can't believe it. Eva is a very happy baby. She is very independent and loves to stick her tongue out.

Oklahoma Weather

We are in Oklahoma again for another one of Scott's classes and we are counting our blessing today after a giant storm came through while we were at the movie theatre. We could hear the hail hitting the roof of the theatre and then feel the rain coming through too. The theatre stopped the movie and we watched the hail come down. After assessing the damage to the Scott's parents Cruiser (I wish we wouldn't have taken it) the theatre started all the movies up again only to be interrupted by a fire alarm. So we thought we were now in a tornado, but it was a false alarm. They started the movies up again only to be stopped when the Firemen showed up and made them close down due to roof damage. I'm so thankful we are safe and don't live in OK with all their crazy weather.
