Storm watch...

These are the clouds that scared me. You can kinda see the cirlce of clouds in the middle. They started to spin together (as if about to form a funnel) which freaked us out.

These ones just looked awesome..



These pics are from a storm yesterday evening. I feel a little silly now, but I was fairly certain a tornado was gonna form right over our heads! Some of the clouds started to rotate in a circle, so in a rush I made J help grab the kids and dogs and headed up to aunt Nancy's house (b/c they have a basement and we do not.) It all passed with no harm done, but the clouds looked really awesome!

Holy Crap they'd scare me too! I haven't been near a tornado in years, and clouds still freak me out. It's just an eery feeling when tornadoes are forming.

Oh my gosh, I know what you mean! On Friday night I was positive a tornado was headed our way. What a crazy storm that was!

UHM, you really shouldn't wait until they look like that to head for cover! Not silly, those are exactly the kind to be afraid of!

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

Clearance Puppy

This has been a really crazy weekend. Thursday J got a call from a breeder he had been speaking to 3 or 4 months ago. We were going to go look at a puppy of his (with no real intention of buying) back then, but when we called the breeder said he just sold the last female 2 hours previously. Then on thursday he called to tell J that a buyer backed out last minute and J has first chance at getting her, so Friday we went to see her. She was discounted for us (and b/c she is older now, I think) and much more affordable - and so we brought her home, and her name is Sugar. Sug (shoog) for short. She is very sweet and calm, and listens really well. She is a yellow lab, and for all of you who have read the book or watched the movie - yes, we bought the "clearance puppy"! And actually we stopped at Blockbuster to return some movies and a big Marley & Me poster was in the window and M said :"Is that a picture of Sugar?" - I hope not! Saturday was the last 50 cen...

End of the week

This week has been lots of fun. J's mom, step-dad, sister and nephew all came to stay with us for the week. We've had a lot of fun visiting, playing games, and swimming. I'm so glad they came to visit us, aaallll the way from Idaho! We're lucky they had the time and all came! They are leaving in the morning because his step-dad has to work sunday afternoon! Crazy wonderful people. On another note, tomorrow J and I will have been married 3 years. I can hardly believe it's been three years....absolutely wonderful. I have never made a better decision in my life!
