The Haircut, Museum, and Flood

Gabriella has been asking for a haircut, so we decided to go short! It has been wonderful because it is so easy and doesn't get hardly any tangles! She goes back and forth whether she likes it or not but I think it turned out cute!

I love the ketchup on her chin (:


We went to the museum for some family fun!


Livvy kept walking around with her hands behind her back, it was really funny and cute so I took a couple pictures.
Gabrie loved playing in the sand
Here are the girls in their cute aprons!



Last Sunday we had a flash flood! We were inside our house and heard all the rain and thunder but didn't realize how bad it was until we were about to go to Luke's parents for dinnner! This is what we saw!
And this was after the water had receeded a ways it had been half way up our driveway!

Then we looked around the corner!!!! And saw a LAKE!



Everyone in our part of the neighborhood seemed to be ok so we all just played in the water! It was fun to see all the neighbors out and in the water.(Later we found out people up the street had flooded basements, broken windows and were in quite a panic!)

One of neighbors Leah, (also Gabrie's primary teacher) was nice enough to take Gabrie to play in the deep water while Luke, Livvy and I stayed pretty dry.

I was totally oblivious to the extent of the flood too. Our neighbors were even out digging a trench to get the water to drain out to the street because their basement flooded, and I didn't even notice.

Love the update Kellie! Your girlies look so cute in their 4th of July outfits! I'm glad you guys had a good 3rd and 4th of July. I'm also so glad that you guys didn't have any flood damage! That is crazy. I saw it on the news, and I'm just amazed it got so flooded so fast. I'm glad you guys were ok.
