We went with Brooke and her two cute kids, Molly and Adam. They all got a kick out of the bunnies. So cute.
The cow behind us was making Brooke pretty nervous. It was eyeing the kids, it definitely didn't look like it liked having the kids close. I also ran the stroller through a pile of cow manure that I didn't see. I don't know if the cows were our favorites.
But the Merry-Go-Round was definitely a hit...
Thank goodness for great Kindergarten teachers!!! Kasidee came home so excited yesturday, she was crowned queen for the day in her class. She got to pick out her favorite color crown, and all the kids in her class drew a picture of her and the teacher put it together in a cute book.
This was one of the cute classmate pictures...
This was Kasidee's narrative about what she likes. I know it is hard to see, but if you look up at the top left corner the kLI is her "I like," there is an "o" on top of an "M" kind of in the middle and that is her "mom." There is also a "dad" in the bottom right corner. I was so amazed at how much she has progressed in the short amount of time she has been in school. I was worried about sending them, but I feel like we did the right thing. They are having fun and learning so much! Kasidee is definitely a queen in my book!
At the end of the video, Mark shows the fence that is now no longer there, the pile of 3 trees that were blown over in our cul-de-sac, and our missing tree in our yard.
Parker has been asking me to teach him to play the piano for a long time...we finally are starting. This is the first song in the book and he was so proud of himself. Kasidee is singing a duet in the primary program with another little girl. She is so excited!
This is Mark boarding up the windows. He wanted it to look like he was being blown away by the wind. (:
This is all of our lawn stuff piled into the side of our garage. We still had to fit 2 cars in here. I didn't think it would fit, but Mark is amazing.
Here are all the trees and branches that are piled up everywhere on the sides of the roads. I couldn't believe how many trees came down.
That is the hurricane that is coming to Houston tomorrow. They are predicting 100-120 mph winds. We have our food storage, water, batteries, cars full of fuel, boards ready for our windows, and our garage is packed full of all our lawn toys. We have not been told to evacuate, and I hope we are ready for whatever comes. It is so strange to see stores empty and gas stations who have run out of gas. It makes the prophet's call to have food storage hit home! Hopefully we won't have any scary storm pictures to post on Saturday or Sunday!
This is the inside of our food pantry in our kitchen. We had a leak somewhere, and Mark took it upon himself to find out where it was coming from. 
Now all the food in the pantry is relocated on our counter. I am going crazy! I can't stand to not be able to clean up the kitchen. I know, I am a little OCD.

Kasidee is singing a duet in the upcoming Primary program. She likes to sing it to anyone that will listen, she has already called both grandmas and great grandma. 
Parker has been my little cuddler lately. I think Kindergarten has really taken it out of him. He won't admit it, but he is missing me. He comes and sits on my lap or randomly gives me hugs. I love that he needs his mom again.
We finally started potty training Addison. The first day I thought I was going to shoot myself. But once she caught on, she has been doing GREAT! She is getting SO big!
Bailey has grown so fast. She is getting so close to laughing, I can't wait to hear her giggle! She is spoiled rotten. She wants to be held every second that she isn't sleeping, which is most of the day (she isn't the greatest nap taker).
