The Myrick Family: July 2008

Slip and Slide

Today the girls and I went outside to play on the slip and slide. They had a blast.

Logan's Birthday

After our girls day out, we went to Logan's 7th birthday. It was a swimming party and the girls had a great time.

After lunch, we were suppose to go see the new American Girl movie. We got lost in Trussville (thanks to the GPS). So we went to the next stop...school supply shopping. I remember loving this as a kid. Of course, when I went in a store I wasn't interested in toys. I wanted my mom to take me to the school supply section. I guess it was the inner teacher in me. McKenna was gathering everything off her list...pencils, crayons, glue, etc.

Here she is in her model pose with the backpack and lunchbox she picked out.

At home showing daddy all her new supplies. She told me on the way home..."Mom, I'm excited about school now." That made the whole trip worth while.

See all the supplies! It makes me want to cry when I think that my baby starts kindergarten this year. I can not believe the time has come for this. I am so thankful that I will be there everyday to see how she changes, make friends, eats her lunch, Ha! I love this little girl so much!!!!!

Mommy & McKenna Day

Today was Mommy and McKenna day. We were celebrating her getting ready for kindergarten. We dressed up and went to the eye doctor first. Then we went to the Chocolate Biscuit tea room for lunch. She was so funny acting growny. I asked her if she liked the soup and she said "not really I am just tending (her word for pretending).

The owner of the Chocolate Biscuit came over and asked were we celebrating something special. McKenna told her she was getting ready to start school. The lady told her she would need a chocolate biscuit for that so they brought her one out for dessert.

That's my girl.

Eye Doctor Time

I decided to take McKenna to the eye doctor before she begins school. Scott and I have terrible eyes. Well, now I have great eyes due to Lasik surgery. I wanted to make sure she was o.k. Dr. Hill saw some farsighted symptoms in her left eye and wants to see her again in 6 months. He thinks it will be fine, but just wants to do a recheck. She was such a big girl and even let them dilate her eyes. She read the letters on the chart perfect. I was so proud.

Can this girl pose or what? She had to wear her sunglasses because her eyes were dilated.

VBS

I was so busy every night at Bible school, I did not even get to take pictures of McKenna at VBS. These are pictures of our closing ceremony Sunday morning. She is dancing to one of the songs.
